Pickleball And Bashers!

Welcome back to my email! I am still here in Oregon! Still doing the same things I have been doing for 18 months! So here are the highlights!


Exchanges with Elder J Scott
We had exchanges with our zone leaders earlier this week! I really like my zone leaders! They are some of my favorites I have had in a little while! We had a great time. We had a service with one of our newly baptised members and we started talking to her and she started talking about how she wished she could go to the temple but she couldnt because of some of her problems. She is a really interesting lady. I like her but she has some issues.


We had a couple of very nice weather days this week as well! It made us super happy! We went and played pickleball with a bunch of people at the courts and a lot of them told us they have met with missionaries in the past! It was kind of awesome about the wonderful things the missionaries have done for the people in the area! Plus we got to talk to them while getting schooled at pickleball so that is definitely a plus! 


Otherwise i think the rest of the week was pretty boring for the most part. We have been working with a lot of less active people and it is so crazy to see what they come up with to avoid us. We also have had a couple of different people bring up a lot of different anti stuff to us. Oregon people are a different breed. I dont even know. 


That is what I have for the week! Sorry it was boring. I love all of you and ill talk to ya later.

The Show Must Go On...

Ya know, I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I really do, I have had so many experiences this week that has been absolutely incredible. I have said this so many times to lots of people but I honestly think this area that I am serving in is the most elect of every area I have served in. With the end of the month coming in we had to do a lot of numbers stuff. We learned that we were the highest teaching area in the zone that is not YSA. YSA is always crazy high. A couple weeks ago I was told that they felt like I was finishing at a sprint. I had so many things going my way and I absolutely was trying my heart out. This week I knew was going to be one of the fastest weeks I have had on the mission. I have loved every second of it.  Monday we decided to go to crater Lake. Another full circle moment for me. My second pday in the mission I was able to go to Crater Lake with My trainer Elder Kobob Hansen. Now my second to last pday in the mission I am going to crater lake, how fun is that?...

For everyone who doesn’t know, Tysen is coming home on Friday! We are thrilled to death for the upcoming battle of Tysen vs. Reese! It’s going to be the match of the century that you don’t want to miss!  In all seriousness though, I am so excited to have my big little brother back. Two years feels like a long time to go without seeing someone and I missed him. Take that in Ty because you won’t hear me say that often. Also he offered to help me take names to the temple so I can finally have those male names I’ve saved up done!  Outreach Program!  In the meantime though, I’ll tell you all about the Outreach Program at Family Search! The basis of family search is to help people find their ancestors and also share their own history. I work there anyways and I was approached by some mission leaders a while ago asking if I’d work in the Outreach Program. At first I was reluctant because at that time my schedule was full and I liked it how it was. Then summer came and I needed t...

You Don't Know What You Have Until It Is Gone...

Hey Hey Hey! How are you all doing?  I have been reflecting a lot about my mission and about my life as I am coming to a close. These 2 years that I have been given to serve the lord has flown by. I remember hearing it at the beginning of my mission. But now that I am here it just is crazy. Ive had almost the whole ward ask me if I am "trunky" Trust me I have been trying to stay motivated and keep sprinting. I feel like the last transfer of your mission is always the one that you remember it by. If you keep running full speed the whole last transfer it is way better. Do not lwt yourself slack. I was told for the first time on tuesday that the leadership of the zone is proud of me. President relayed this message to me during interviews. I am usually the project for leadership so this is a pleasent change.  Anyways, lets get into the week.  Wednesday we had 2 different services. We had one with this lady named Rosy. She needed help moving. She was living in a hotel and had ...
