Chicken Fried

I made a new friend!

Sorry I'm writing this email in between playing basketball games so hopefully it makes sense 🏀

But what's up everyone, how are ya'll doing? I hope everyone had a good week cuz i sure did! If you couldn't tell from the title I had a lot of fried chicken this past week which was awesome. One time we were in a fried chicken restaurant and the song Chicken Fried by Zac brown band came on! What more could you ask for
Service with my district


On Saturday we drove out to a ranch way out in the countryside that got hit pretty hard during the floods here last summer. It was a big service project with most of our zone. I loved it because 1. It was on a ranch and 2. I love doing service because I love working hard and getting my hands dirty. I worked with the ranch owner a lot of the time too and got to be pretty good friends with him so at the end he took me back to see his horses which were really cool. I learned a lot from him too how to work hard in life and to not rely on anyone else, except for Jesus Christ. He was a really cool guy

Other highlights from the week:
- Bought a Texas fishing license and now that's all I do on p-day 
- Hit a bunch of rotten apples with a baseball bat 
- Language study at a zoo so I was practicing Portuguese with a giraffe 


- Got to ride in an ATV 
- Hit 6 months in the mission yesterday 

Spiritual thought: Matthew 26:39-44
I never realized that the savior asked for the cup to pass from him 3 different times. He asked 3 times if there was any other way to do it. But, on the third time when he said "thy will be done," he meant it and committed himself. This relates to us when we commit the same sin over and over again. When we have the desire and commitment to truly change is when we will change! Jesus Christ performed the atonement so we can repent as many times as we need! He's just waiting for us! 

I love ya'll and send me an update email if you get the chance!! Also... 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  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...
