Volleyball Night Fiasco

Hello everyone! It is your weekly reminder of my existance. Dont worry! I am still here! The last 6 weeks have been a blur! It is so weird that I only have like 24 weeks left! 4 transfers to go baby!!


Anyways, here are the highlights! 


Exchanges with Elder Anderson!
Elder Andersen is my DLs companion! He is newer to the mission but sometimes I feel like he has been out for a while! Him and his comp are very discplined in how they work. I respect that a ton! I wish I had that sometimes! We stayed up way too late just talking and laughing. It was actually so fun! My comp at the moment is not great at talking. I feel like I dont know anything about him sometimes. 


Barbara and Jackie
On wednesday we usually have a bunch of people we like that go play pickleball. So we decided to show up. Sadly, it was a bit windy so not very many people showed up. We did get to meet and play with 3 different ladies. Barbara and Jackie are so funny! Barbara has a very thick accent from who knows where. But they both were so good! I swear that is all they do! So Elder Winkley and I with our limited experience were trying to play against these very good players. It was actually so fun! We even won a game! I hope we get to see them again! They were very fun! 


Pickleball finding has been really back and forth. We have had many conversations about people and their previous experiences with missionaries. Most of the time it doesnt lead to anything gospel related but they keep saying we should come by and play more. I am hoping we can get something going from it. We honestly are just trying new things to work on finding people. We have found 1 person this whole transfer. It is time to change things up. 


Youth Volleyball Night! 
So us and 2 other companionships decided to put together a volleyball night for all the youth in our 3 wards and tell them all to invite friends and stuff! We expected like 20-25 people to show up. But to all of our suprise, there was upwards of like 40-50 people that showed up. We had no idea what to do. We could try all we want to organize something and it was like herding cats! After a little bit people started leaving. Though it was sad to see people leave so early, it was kind of nice to be able to organize the group into teams and stuff. When there was 45 people there it was almost impossible to do anything. All the youth in our ward told us that it was pretty awesome. I am so glad it worked out! They all said we needed to do it again! So maybe that is a good idea! They even said there was lots of nonmembers there! So that is kind of cool!

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...
