Everything's bigger in Texas🤠

 Awesome pictures📸:


What's up everyone!! Welcome to Marble Falls, Burnett, Kingsland, Spicewood, Llano, and many more places! So my new area is huge and covers a lot of towns! We literally could spend every day of the week in a different town! The first week in a new area is always so fun because there is so many new places and people to meet so it was a pretty crazy week. 


The best part is I am definitely in the countryside of Texas now! Especially when we go out to Llano, Texas! I don't think I've seen this many cows, especially Longhorns, in my life! Also, since this is Texas and people like to do whatever they want, we were driving home from Llano on Wednesday and saw a bunch of Wildebeest🤯 Some guy just wanted to own wildebeest so be bought a bunch of them and put them on his land! Some more crazy things we saw: a European castle in Texas, a 155 ft deep hole where they used to hide dead bodies, 300 year old Oak tree, and a sweet sunset view from a light house that made me feel like I was in California! Check out the photo album for the pics
Anyway, I am super excited to be in a new area but there is still so much that I have to learn! It's very different from my old area so thats a hard adjustment but that's one of the best parts of the mission is that you are always learning and growing! 

Spiritual thought: 
Ever wondered why we have the Book of Mormon AND the bible? Or why do missionaries go out in pairs? It's because they are both witnesses of Jesus Christ! There's a scripture in Matthew 18:20 that says, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." 
So we have all these powerful witnesses of Jesus Christ, but what are they supposed to do for us? We have them so that we can develop our own witness of Jesus Christ! They help us along our own path to recieving our own testimony! We receive that testimony through the power of the Holy Ghost, whose main job is to testify of Jesus Christ! Always pray for your OWN witness of Jesus Christ, and i promise that the answer will come! 

I love yall! Keep being amazing!!❤️

  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...
