Turkey Bowl with the Youth

This past week was the first week of a new transfer! My new companion Elder Christensen is the best and genuinely cracks me up. There's at least one time everyday where I'm laughing so hard Im crying cuz of him. Also I mentioned last week that Im leading out this area which has been really good actually except for my ability to give directions! We drive everywhere and Elder Christensen is the designated driver so I have to give him directions. I know the area and where to go but I keep forgetting that he doesn't so I always miss when to tell him to turn or something. So I gotta start giving "Good Directions!" 

Me and Elder Christensen at Thanksgiving Dinner


Happy late Thanksgiving! 🦃 I hope you all had a great day eating lots of food, especially pie, and watching lots of football! We definitely have a lot to be grateful for too! We went to a turkey trot in the morning which was fun but we also went to a turkey bowl after with all of our youth which was super fun! 

New District!

- With new transfers I also got a new district and zone which has been fun getting to know other missionaries! Me and my comp also got called as the SMLs for our zone which is the social media leaders.
- saw some more cool sunsets and longhorns


- 🤮Got food poisoning on Saturday so I was throwing up all night and Sunday morning! I was also speaking in church Sunday and i was feeling good enough so I went and gave my talk praying I wouldn't puke on the pulpit. I didn't so we're good and I also feel much better now. 
- Found Joe Rogan's house in my district 

Spiritual thought: 
Like I said earlier i gave a talk during church and it was on Elder Gongs last conference talk titled "no one sits alone." Not gonna lie a lot of Elder Gongs talks have always kind of confused me but i really liked this one so i would highly recommend listening to it. My biggest takeaway from this talk is to just be christlike! Elder Gong brings up one of my favorite scriptures which is John 13:34: "A new commandment I give unto you , that ye love one another; as I have loved you!" I invite you all to live this commandment, especially as this Christmas seasoning is starting! 

Speaking of Christmas I never thought I would say it but I miss the normal Christmas music so y'all enjoy it for me!🎄

I love y'all and send me an update if you have time!

Muito Bom!!!

  How's it going everyone!!! This week was so fun meeting everyone in my district! From the first class we all connected immediately and get along so well. Being in a district of 16 guys who all just graduated high schools feels like I'm really just back in high school hanging out with the boys. Being here for only 5 days so far just feels like I'm st FSY making a bunch of new friends! We love learning new portugeuse slang and our favorite one right now is muito bom. It literally just translates to very good and you do this snapping thing with your hand while your saying it! I also got made district leader on Thursday which really just adds a couple meetings per week for me and I have to lead a lot of the district council meetings, but other than that it's just really fun! Another one of our favorite things is to go play sand volleyball every morning at 7 am and we love challenging other districts cuz not to brag but we always beat them!  As well as me and my district h...

"That district is insane!" - quote from random Elder

  Bom dia everyone!!! I have now completed week two of the MTC! It was an awesome week  since I now know where everything is here and i'm just getting into the groove of everything here. My district is also still awesome and I'm also getting into the groove of being DL and remembering everything I'm supposed to be doing for that.  We still love to go play volleyball every morning at 6:40 and the basketball gym reopened this week so we started doing that as well. We love challenging other districts in both games and are still undefeated. All the guys in my district are like 5'10'' or taller, all except for Elder Morris who is like 5'6'' but hes one of the funniest guys. He's buff and we buzzed his head on Friday night, and he just says the most out of pocket funny things all the time! Plus, in portugeuse the r makes the h sound so we call him mo-hees. We also all got these random shirts from Elder Dawson because his dad is the principal at lone pe...

"This ain't my first rodeo!"

Sunset in Texas! First week in Texas and in the mission field is now complete! And I take back my earlier statement, it has felt like my first rodeo. But in a good way! It is quite different than the MTC and there is so many things I am trying to learn right now. I got a great trainer though and what are the odds he is also from Kaysville and went to Davis high! If any of you back home knew Clint Sanders he is now my trainer and he is awesome.  I do have a good story from my travels getting here that quite literally felt like riding a bull in a rodeo. So to put it simply my original flight here had an engine fail 30 min into our flight!! Everything was going smoothly until all of the sudden the plane felt like it slightly dropped and then it felt like turbulence on steroids! The captian came over the intercom and I only remember him saying "Stay calm, we have engine failure, fasten your seatbelts we are heading back to SLC!" So we went back to SLC and they got us another flig...
