Mudding Legally

Howdy ya'll!

It was a pretty quick week for me, and I dont remember too much, but here goes!

Monday: We put Graca on date! She's so excited to learn as much as she can and is so happy to progress. She loves the gospel and is taking in everything she can! The way to her house isn't a true road, so its tons of muddy potholes and after tons of rain, mini lakes. So we consistently went through super muddy terrain and if you check out the photo album you can see how bad it got! After we came back we went shopping and prepared to have a nice braai, like a barbecue. The steak was fantastic!

Tuesday: Exchanges with Elder Ramialson! He said he loves hearing me teach and that he's happy that our area is growing so rapidly! He's excited to see what else we can do. Being our DL, he was very proud of how much I've grown so far in this exchange. A great day!

Wednesday: I don't remember anything special happening on this particular day. But lots of lessons and tons of contacts! Successful day.

Thursday: Really just another regular day, no big events other than I had a serious migraine all day. We still found success though, and I consider that a small miracle!

Friday: District council, more lessons, and a bday party! One of the families that we're teaching held a bday party for one of their daughters! The mom made a fantastic cake and we shared an amazing lesson with them. We loved being there with them!

Saturday: We visited Graca in the morning, and went mudding to get to her again. Afterwards we had a District leadership meeting that all the missionaries were required to attend. Afterwards we went back to the area and continued our day. We started teaching a very interested young man. He had so many questions for us, and evem wrote a whole pages worth of them for us to answer. We're excited to see how far he goes!

Sunday: What a wonderful day! We showed up to church with no one else there, and eventually we got 8 of our friends to attend!!! All of them said they absolutely loved the service and want to come back! We were so happy to see everyone there and that really pushed us through the rest of our day!

Spiritual Thought: So many people in this area belong to various different religions. The young man with questions was no different, and on Saturday night he stayed up from 11pm to around 5am just praying with his church. This scared us because he told us not to worry about his church attendance the next day. At around 5:30am on Sunday he messages us and told us he was going to bed. We saw this message and told him to still try to come, and that God would bless his efforts to attend. No response. Come to find out that ge decided to come to church! This guy only had 2 hours of sleep and remained super attentive during the whole service! What an absolute trooper! So amazing!

Until next time...

MTC Week One 09-12-2025

  Hello my friends! This email comes soon after the other, but my p-day for the MTC is on Friday. Since I just got here on Wednesday, there's not a whole lot to tell. Monday - On Monday, I had my last day of home MTC and that was fantastic. Some good learning came from that day but there's nothing specific that happened. I was able to finish up my packing and also slept at my own house for the very last time. Tuesday - Tuesday was the first day of travel. I said goodbye to my family for the last time in two years and got on the road. My dad and Caleb rode with me, because my dad was taking him up to BYUI right after dropping me off at the MTC. We stopped at Buc-ee's for lunch and compiled the whole day of driving to 13 1/2 hours. When we stopped we had made it to Cortez, Colorado, where we stayed the night in a hotel. Wednesday - Wednesday was the second day of driving but also the day I arrived at the MTC. When we left the hotel, we only had 5 1/2 hours left to go. we got ...

MTC Week Two 09-19-2025

This was a pretty eventful week, so I'll try to explain everything as best as I can. It was a great week, even through all the business. I'm tired, but not of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Saturday : The day after pday. Saturday was a very good day. We started this one off by going to sand, and getting cleaned up afterwards. Breakfast is always fun after we compete a little bit. After lunch we went to the temple. We did the initiatory and baptism for the dead ordinances. It's so cool to see how different they do it from the temple back home! I loved it. Sunday : My first Sunday at the MTC! This day was super spiritual and definitely tiring. There were so many great experiences and great messages shared that day. Me and Elder Christensen taught a small lesson in Elders' Quorum and it went well. Sacrament meeting here was so peaceful and fitting for the environment. Finally this thing called Go and Do happened. There was a small devotional for about half an hour, then every...

Epiphany

  Howdy all! This week was a lot of the same. Good, but a lot of the same. Monday: Last Monday was pretty boring for a pday. A lot of sitting around, but I hung out with Elder Beamer a lot. He's a chill ZL so we were able to have some pretty laid back condos. Tuesday: Comp exchange with my buddy Elder Redondo! This was the first day thay I really realized how trunky Elder Gutierrez was. He was really holding me back. This isn't to say that he was a bad missionary, because he was always so powerful in the lessons. He was just ready to go home. Anyways, with Elder Redondo we actually went finding in Tickyline and got a couple interested people. Wednesday: It was me and Elder Redondo again. We went finding again and found a bunch of people who wanted us to come back. Great day! Thursday: Elder Redondo came with me AGAIN and we did some more work. It had been raining the past few days and we did get stuck. This time the mud wasn't as deep, but I had to push the bakkie up an inc...
