Week 32: Far West Temple Site

Image
Happy Birthday Chantz!! Love you Big Cat! 你哋好! This week was pretty cool. Started off the week with some service with members. We built two fences, and helped plant some trees. It was nice to be able to be out of the apartment. Thursday, we had Zone Conference.  This was a special one. It was outside at the Far West Temple Site. Those of you who don't know about the temple there it is pretty amazing, it has the cornerstones laid. It was the place that Joseph Smith recieved revelation on what name the church would be called, and there will be a temple there one day. So it is a sacred place. I had to conduct Zone Conference, so I was a little nervous. But I felt that I did ok. But President Love made sure to give me a loving roast at the end in front of everyone about me being nervous. Hahah it was a great Zone Conference. 2 Corinthians 12:10  "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sak...

Week 31

Hey everyone! This week was good! Taught lots of lessons, played some outdoor basketball, and made Facebook videos. My Zone all love to fish and hunt and for those who know me, know that it is not my expertise. But on P days we have been fishing a lot. So I have been learning to fish. Everyone has caught a fish but me. Maybe one of these days I will get one hahah. We have been teaching a young guy who's name is Liam. He committed to baptism  on June 6th ! So we are really excited for him, and looking forward to it!  1 Corinthians 16:13 "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong." Sorry I only had like 5 mins to write this email. Hope you all have a good week!  Elder Call and I find lots of frogs on our nightly walks.  Bass Pro Merch

Week 30: Cinco De Mayo Miracle

Image
Hey everyone this was a great week! One cool miracle happened on Cinco de Mayo. Elder Call and I were going to some other missionaries apartment to grab my Cantonese study books because I left them there from last week. Elder call and I were feeling festive and had been driving for a long time, so we wanted some Mexican food. Some sisters in the Zone told us about a Taco truck that was good. So we started looking for it for like 20 mins but couldn’t find it. We finally decided we were just going to get something to eat when we got back. Then the sisters called us and told us where it was, and luckily we were right next to it. We then got in line and a lady came up to us and asked us where we were from and how long we have been out. So she knew who we were. Come to find out her ex husband served a mission and was a member. We talked to her a little and asked if she would be willing to meet with the sisters in the area and she said yes! It was amazing! And she didn't even get foo...

Happy Birthday to my Dad!!! The big 45 for Jaybird! I am thankful for everything that you have done for me, and your example of what it means to be like the savior. I hope you play some golf and eat a dunford doughnut with a diet coke. 你哋好! This week was crazy, It was transfer week. But because of the quarantine we didn't think there would be many changes. Turns out I got transferred. I am now in Warrensburg Missouri. Most of you probably don't know where that is. It is awesome! It is a lot different then Kansas City where I have been for the last 4.5 months. It is a lot more country then Kansas City with tons of field's and land, super green and really pretty. Elder Ipsen my comp was not happy with us getting split up. So he punched a whole in the wall hahah it was great . I am going to miss him and all the other people I met and became friends with in KC.  Transfer Rage I am with Elder Call again! We reunited hahah. But I am now driving, and we have a min...
