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 a bunch of strange circumstances where she had trouble with the payment of damages to the hotel. So she threw a fit and my comp just got to stand there awkwardly. After that we went to a members place and mowed/weed eated their yard. Afterwards we went in and they asked if we had a dinner so we got fed which was pretty cool. They had a bunch of strange videos on the tv and we tried our best to avoid looking to waste time. so that was fun. 



Thursday was pretty rough not going to lie. We had 5 lessons planned and they all didnt go through. So we tried to just do lots of contacting stuff. I was very frustrated. I tried to be positive but it was very difficult for me. I feel like i have the whole area on my shoulders and i have to make things happen before I go home. Luckily when we went to our dinner with our member the kids were asking if we would play catch with them. So I got to help the daughter with her pitching. We were there for a long time but It genuinely lifted my spirits and I know that the lord put them on that day so I could finnish the day with a positive attitude. 



Still working with Walter

Walter is still on track for being baptised on June 1st! We have been meeting with him 2 times a week so we can have everything taught and worked through before he gets baptised. I am so excited about this! 



Honestly the rest of the week was pretty boring. We did have another service with a mentally insane lady. So that was fun. But she had an adorable puppy. It would like lick my arms and make snorting noises as we were there. I loved him a lot. 



We had a lot of apointments cancel on us which is very sad but I am still just excited to have one super progressing friend! 



Oh I forgot! I was able to go to the lava caves again on monday! The caves were the same but last time I was there was almost 2 years ago! Like august of 22. That is nuts to me. Started there and get to end there as well. I love the caves! 



I dont know what else to talk about so I will just say I love you all and I will talk to you later!

Introducing Bishops Son To Anti

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...
