Bluebonnets

 


This week was just genuinely a good week to be a missionary in Marble Falls, Texas! Plus, there is lots of bluebonnets and other wildflowers coming up everywhere so its super pretty! Also went to bluebonnet Cafe last p-day with Elder and Sister Stewart! It was so nice to see them again and the food was also pretty good. 



This last week was full of amazing spiritual experiences. We had zone conference last Friday and we had to wake up an hour early because we live so far away! Zone conference was amazing as always though and i got to meet a lot of new missionaries that I have never met before! We got back to our area at 8:30 so we only had a half an hour to get some work done. So me and Elder Clark prayed what to do and we went to a gas station and ended up finding this really cool guy driving a 2010 Chevy Camaro! 

We also had 2 amazing lessons with our friend Ben on Saturday and Sunday! We taught him more about the Book of Mormon and the restoration. We specifically talked about priesthood authority which was cool. We also gave him a blessing cuz he broke his thumb! Then on Sunday he came to church again, then elders quorum, and then the linger longer after church! It was a good day!

Highlights✨️
- St. Patrick's day we went to a deli place for lunch that was really good and everyone was wearing green
- Stole a bunch of bread from HEB (not really)
- Did some studies by Lake LBJ but then got sunburned 
- Mr. Gattis pizza 🍕 
- Got to watch some of the Burnet airshow! 


Spiritual thought: 
This is a simple one but its very true! I was thinking a lot this past week about the verse in 3 Nephi 12:48 that talks about how we are supposed to he perfect. Then i found this scripture in D&C 76:69 that's says we are made perfect through the atonement of Jesus Christ!! We cannot become perfect on our own but we can eventually become perfect with Jesus Christ!! 

I love ya'll tons!! Never forget Jesus loves you ❤️

  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...
