Thursday Preparation Day

Well hi. So, as you may have noticed, this is late. That's because Preparation day was pushed back to Thursday this week. That's because of Transfers being tomorrow. 



A lot of things are happening this transfer. A lot of people are moving around and new areas are being opened up. It's kind of craxy. Well, I won't get into that, but I'm going... Drum roll please....

to stay right here.



Yup. I'm staying with Sister Martinsen in Newbury park another transfer. I'll spend my 6 months here. Crazy how that's coming up. Feels like just yesterday I got here as a greenie. It feels like I havent been here that long. Next thing you all know I'll be home again and I'll likely be bugging people because I've gotten used to always having something to do. 



On to this week! So, on Thursday we had Zone conference. It was on Obedience. Sound familiar Ty? Both of our zone conferences talked about the same thing. The spirit works in mysterious ways it was fantastic. 



We worked with the horses again. I get to do that for another six weeks! Woohoo! Anywhoo, thr horse I'm featuring this week is Kara. She's also a sweetheart. Fun horse. Not as cute as Tigerlily but a great horse nevertheless. Kara usually looks like she's im shock she has her eyes so wide open. Not in the pictures, because she knows she has to stay still but in her stall, yes. 



Saturday was Sister Martinsen's birthday!

We attended a stake BBQ and said it was her birthday party. Great food. 



William and Anthony were able to bless and pass the sacrament togrther on sunday. It's been so sweet being able to see them progress in the gospel! They've most definitely been one of the highlights of my mission so far. 



Everything else has been pretty normal. Except the fact that we worked yesterday instead of today, which is so weird. We baked a bunch of cookies and dropped them off to people. Just doing our cookie fairy duties. 



Well, that's it for this one! I'll make another email next week. Love you all!

More At The Temple Open House!!

Hello everyone! I’m back again with another email. I’m sending this on time today! Woohoo!! This one’s going to be short but I think it is something I should share nevertheless.  Open House!  I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Red Cliffs Temple so far. I get to help these people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to walk around the temple at all. It makes me feel like I have an important job even though most of the time I just write numbers on a clipboard. I got to take a few people in myself and I love how they become silent in reverent wonder at the beauty of it all. It really tells me that the spirit is definitely there and I can feel it too!  Pushing Grandpa I helped Grandpa Reynolds in a wheelchair. I’m not a jerk I swear. XD That was a fun experience that I was able to look at it with my family. I’ve been through the tour a bunch of times but It’s different when you’re with your family. Even my little brothers were using inside voices! I didn’t know they knew what that ...

I Love Conference

Image
Hi! As I’m sure you know, General Conference was this weekend. I’ve been so excited about it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everyone did an excellent job and the spirit was present. I loved them all. I really need to look back and study them again. I forgot who did what ones but there was a couple I really liked in the Saturday sessions about being peacemakers. How despite the world around us we can still show the love of god. Actually, I think one of them was from Elder Oaks. He did fantastic.  I also loved that Brad Wilcox spoke this afternoon. He is one of my favorite speakers. He also did one of the most listened to BYU devotionals ‘his grace is sufficient’. It’s so good and so was the talk he did today. I love how he said you can’t be a lifeguard if you look like all the other swimmers. Inspiring.  I’d like to share a little tender mercy that was a couple of weeks ago. I was going to the temple with my district in the St George temple. We were doing an endowment ...

Hi Again Everyone!

I am back at it again this week! With yet another email. I know it’s late, but I almost forgot and I was saved by Mom threatening to beat me with a wet noodle. So I didn’t forget and as I’m writing this I’m keeping an eye on all the pasta. And Mom. She’s looking at me very ominously across the table.  Zone Conference!  As I mentioned last week, I had Zone Conference! On Monday we met at basically in the same time and same place as District Council, but it was longer and with more people. I can now say I have officially met my new Mission president! President Staples and his wife are sweet. I got a picture with them.  Temple Trips! And no, not just to the Red Cliffs one. Me and my Companion Sister Amy did some Initiatories in the newly Re-dedicated St. George temple. They remodeled it like they had it originally in the pioneer days, and they used rich colors and beautiful curtains. I love it! After we did the ordinances a temple worker asked us if we’d like to see the sea...
