It's Christmas Time

Howdy yall!!


This week feels like we were barely even in Atlantic.  Monday we went down to Council Bluffs again and spent the day up there and then did a mini exchange that night with our DL.  On Tuesday we were still in Council Bluffs and had a full exchange with the DL.  There were a lot of shenanigans that happened such as snow ball fights and pretty much having a water fight in the DLs apartment.  After we left I felt bad because we soaked their whole bathroom in water but it was fun.  Even though we soaked his apartment, my DL gave me one of his ukeleles which was super nice and that gives me something to do.


Wednesday was just a normal old day knocking houses and talking to people, but on Thursday we had this meeting at the mission prez house called trainer trainee where all the new missionaries that came out on the transfer that I came went to their house and we talked about driving and questions that we had, but now I'm able to drive so that's epic


Friday was also just a normal old day with lessons and people we talk to but on Saturday we did a ton of service for our lady named Terri.  I love to help her because she is super nice and always takes us to breakfast or lunch or gives us food so it's always fun to be with her.  Also on Saturday there was a big parade that had fireworks and a bunch of floats that was on the street that was right in front of our apartment, so we could look out our window and see the fireworks and the parade so that was cool


On Sunday of course we had church and after we did our normal thing of knocking houses but of course no body wants to answer.  So the first half of the day was slow but after dinner it went by fast because we had dinner with our branch mission leader.  Afterwards we went to our branch presidents house to watch the first presidency Christmas devotional which was a super good devotional all about Christmas and the birth of Christ.


Now today we have a district p day so we get to got to council bluffs again for like the 5th time in a row but I'm not complaining because it's always fun to hang out with thr other missionaries and to be in a city that actually has stuff to do.


John 3


16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 


17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.


With it being Christmas time we need to remember the most precious gift that God has given us and the was the gift of eternal life through the sacrifice of his only begotten and beloved son Jesus Christ 


God loves you.
I love you.

Getting Eaten Alive

Hey yall! Hopw you had a good week and a good 4th.  This week was pretty good. This week was transfer week so things were a little crazy but me and my comp are both staying here in Brookings which is lit, but nothing really to crazy happend with transfers sooooo. But of course we had the 4th of July this week and sadly, cuz this ward is a little wack, no one invited us over for a party or fireworks so we were on our own.  We went to Walmart and bought a cheap charcoal grill and we whipped up some mash potatoes and some steaks. But after that we tried to go and played Frisbee golf and as soon as we started playing the first hole we were getting swarmed by like 40-50+ mosquitos.   Because of that, the second we finished the first hole we booked it back to our car and left and went bowling. Sadly since it was raining no one was really shooting off fireworks but on Friday we started to hear a lot of fire works and we realized it was the city shooting them off so we hopped in ...

Hey yall hope you had a great week! So this week was the last week of the transfer and I was really hoping that I was going to leave.  But unfortunately, I am staying for a 4th transfer here in Brookings.  Now I'm not upset that I get to stay here, I mean I love it here.  But it's only fun as a missionary for like 4 and a half months and then it gets boring.  But I'm excited as well.  We have some awseome people we are teaching who have a lot of potential. This week we had a lesson with our friend Lowless and he is a super cool guy.  He is from Papua New Guinea and he is a such a cool guy.  He is very introverted and very soft spoken so it was kinda hard for him to talk to the members, but he will get more comfortable as he comes more.  But the craziest thing is that he has only been in the US for three weeks.  He is here with some program where he comes to SDSU for school, but hopefully we will be able to set him on date for baptism. Anyways...

How's it going peeps?  I hope y'alls weeks was great!!!   This week was baller we had zone conference so that was swag. Tuesday was just a regular normal day just knocking doors and trying to find some people to teach. Since our area is super big we cover many small little towns and we recently got a referal for this lady next to this one small town called Cumberland. So on this day we decided to go down there to see if we could talk to a few people but it really sucked since literally nobody was home and the lady that we had the referral for said that she didn't want to meet with us yet since she has like issues with her husband so she didn't want us to come over. So the whole like 25-30 minute drive to this small town was all for nothing, so that sucked. Then when we got back we went over to a recent converts house to help him move some stuff in his nasty garage and when i say this garage was nasty is was NASTY so after that, I just ended the night. But on Wednesday n...
