Good Attitude And Ghosts = Success

Hello Hello! It is your boy! I hope yall are all doing well! I actually had an amazing week this week! This was my first real week with Elder Seegmiller (I didnt even think Parker, I am making progress!) This week was actually fantastic though! 



On pday the YSA elders asked if we wanted to come play volleyball with a bunch of their non member friends that they have reached out to! Which turns out to be the RCC College womens volleyball team! I have no idea how that ended up happening but most of pday consisted of us gettng beat in sand volleyball by all these cute college girls. It was pretty awesome! 



On tuesday we did a lot of finding. We had a lesson with some of my favorite members the Jarvies! They were telling us that they might be able to rent a baseball field for us missionaries this upcoming pday! So we are excited to hopefully be able to do that! I havent played baseball in so long! Later, we went to young mens, we played basketball with a bunch of the deacons! Some of them are so tiny! Youll have to ask elder seegmiller about throwing the smallest kid, Tom, on the ground during basketball! I am sure he would love to tell you about it. 



On thursday we did what was called a "Flood" Our mission president has asked that we try to have 10 people we are actively teaching in every area in the mission before march. So The flood consisted of 3 different companionships working in the area for a few hours trying to help us find people to teach! Now we have 2 leads on people now! We are pretty excited about it! 



Saturday was the best day! Elder Seegmiller was a very good influence on me today and we both had a ghost energy drink because we were both super tired! Then We had a lesson with our friend Kathleen. I think I have mentioned her before. We went over there and shared the first vision and talked about the restoration of the gospel! When we talked about the first vision everything stopped. I havent felt the spirit in a lesson this strong since I was in merlin! Youll have to read Elder Seegmillers side to it! He was telling me he was feeling very Giddy. His first nonmember lesson. It was so awesome! And she came to church today too! Our member sister morgan is so sweet! She was there visiting with Kathleen for another 30 min after the lesson! 



Like I said this week was so cool! I have really enjoyed being with Parker as a companion. (Totally not writing this because he reads my emails) But for real, it has been so fun talking about home things. Like talking about where our friends are at and what is going on at home. It really has been so nice! It does make me want to go home sometimes but I still do enjoy it a ton! It has been amazing!

Hello everyone! No I did not forget to write my email this week. It was really weird last night and this morning and so I decided it was fine to write it tonight. I hope everyone is doing well! This week was full of ups and downs so lets get right into it.  Nostalgia On Tuesday I had the opportunity to go on an exchange with my old companion Elder Holmes. He was one of my favorites so I was very excited to see him and work with him for the day! We decided to make some chicken wings for nostalgic purposes. When we were together over a year ago the ward was not the best at feeding us. So we would make these chicken wings that had a delicious sauce that we had. It was a combination of Parmeson Garlic Buffalo Wild Wings and chic-fil-a sauce! Dont knock it till you try it. Though you dont need to look at the nutrition label when you are eating them. Trust me when I say that. But it was delicous. We had lots of good talks and went and said hi to a couple of his people he used to teach wh...

Birthday!

Hello people of the email list! Welcome to this weeks email! This week was kind of slow except for the last couple days so I guess lets get into it.  John's situation: Well we learned that my good friend and only progressing person that we are teaching had his hours changed. So that means he cannot really do our 3 meetings a week and it might be back to 1. We are hoping that he will want to meet with us at his own home. I guess this is the ultimate test of faith. Does he really want to keep progressing or does he want to just drop it right there? I guess we will find out! District council: This week in district council we talked a ton about Covenants and how important they are. President Nelson talks about how once you make a covenant with our Heavenly Father it is like a chain. He will never give up on you. Even if someone might not be living the covenants fully he will still be willing to help you get back on track and hold on to the iron rod. I absolutely love talking about cove...

Hello Hello my friends and my family! I hope you are all doing well! Thank you all for the birthday wishes! Especially the Gilbertsons for driving all the way from Merlin to come hangout with me! I love you guys! I appreciate the support! Now I cant blame all my problems on my troubled teenage years! But dont worry, I know guys that never seem to grow out of being a teenager! ;) *Cough* my dad *Cough.  Anyways, This week has been really interesting! Ever since ive been put into the area I feel like I have been struggling. I went from Merlin to here. Where we were teaching a ton of people to nobody. So this week I decided to put my head down and just get as much done as possible.  Last week at interviews I was talking to president and he told me he has been wanting to change our area as well as the area next to ours to a bike share area. He knows our area has a ton of hills and it it just a pain to bike up those things. So we get the car 2-3 days a week. Tuesday and wednesday a...
