Frozen To My Bones

Hey yall hope you all had a great week and hopefully it was warmer than mine


This week has been the coldest week of weather I have ever felt in my life on Friday we got hit with a pretty bad storm and I guess it wad bad enough for our mission president to ground us and not allow us to leave our apartments and that lasted all day so it kinda sucked having to do Facebook work all day but the next day on Saturday we were allowed to go out and do our regular thing but being out there in -20 degree weather plus wind was not fun I could feel everything on my body freeze and this weather was so cold that I wae able to freeze some Ramen noodles standing upright with the fork still in it which is crazy 


But anyways on Wednesday we had exchanges with our district leader and his comp which is always fun but we ended up buying those orbeez guns and had a war with them and that was super fun but hurt because those guns can shoot super hard


I have been told by my mom that a lot of you wanted to know why I bought the guitar if I'm going to be honest it's just to kill the boredom and before I left on my mission I wanted to learn the guitar and I thought that with the some free time that I have and I can't waste playing video games anymore I'd thought buying that would help but it's really hard to learn especially when you don't have Google to search up songs to play so if you guys have any guitar tabs send em this way


And the reason that I was "sleeping" in the bathroom was just that we thought it would be a funny pic to have there was really no reason for it but I did move my mattress back to our room after that.


I'd also thought you guys would like yo hear about the people we are teaching and we have a lot but I'll only tell you the main people. so right now we have this guy named Matt he is such a dog and he understands everything about the church and wants to get baptized but said he doesn't want to start off in our branch and have to leave if he gets a job so once he gets his job problem sorted out that's and easy baptism and he had told us that he is the most non-Mormon Mormon you will ever meet. Next we have this nice old lady named barb she lives with a inactive member and had been taught to for some time she had come to church like twice but we aren't quite sure where she is with baptism. Next up we have this guy named max he lives with this recent converts named Gary but he isn't really progressing becuae he had been taught for a really long time but he has come to church quite a few times and he's a really cool guy and that pretty much all the people that we are teaching at the moment there are a few others that we see that we are kind of fellowshipping and hopefully they will want to learn.

Live in Thanksgiving daily.


I'm thankful for this opportunity and time I get to be a missionary for Jesus and I hope you can recognize the things you are thankful for and I just want to say I'm thankful for all of you as well for supporting and being in my life.


With much love

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...
