This was a fun week! We got to help build a mailbox and a wheel chair ramp for some members this week. Pouring cement for the mailbox in the Texas heat got not so fun for a second, but after we finished they made us BBQ so it was worth it! It was super fun to build stuff thought because I havent gotten to do things like that for a while! 



Last Friday I went on exchanges with Elder Rowell from Syracuse and it was a solid day of missionary work!! It was my first time leading out in this area and I had no idea what we were going to do so I was relying completely on the spirit and it worked perfectly! We were able to find 2 new married couples to teach! While we teaching one of them all about the Book of Mormon, their neighbor ran over their mailbox twice so that was fun to watch! 

Ben is still doing great! He came to church for the 4th time yesterday! He also started his family tree stuff which he is super excited about! We also had 2 unbaptized young men come to us and say they want to get baptized! So there are miracles happening here! We'll teach them first before they get baptized but still super exciting!! 



Highlights✨️
- Got some Texas BBQ twice last week 
- Skipped some rocks on Lake Buchanan 
- Met a really fat cat named Frederick and a really fat dog named Momo
- More bluebonnets and wildflowers
- Elder Clark threw up after eating too much at a member dinner 

Spiritual thought✨️
This week Ive got some spiritual wisdom from the great Nelson Mandela, this is a quote from him. "A saint is a sinner who keeps on trying!" I love this because we can still be a saint even when we make mistakes. The whole purpose of the atonement of Jesus Christ is to allow us to keep trying! There's also a really good talk about this from Dale G. Renlund in April 2015 General conference titled "Latter Day saints keep on trying." I would recommend listening too it! As well as General conference this weekend! I am so excited for it and I hope you all are too! 



Go do something fun this week for me! Keep being amazing! I love ya'll!

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...
