"Fish are friends, not food!" - Bruce the shark

 

Hey everyone!! Hows it going?=

Pics 📸 

First of all today was a really good p day! I have been trying to catch a bass here for two months and I finally caught my first one today! And then I caught 2 more so it was a good morning! 🎣


We had 3 friends at church yesterday too! Our friends Landen, Ben, and then Ben brought his friend Trevor too! Thank you to everyone that had been praying for them! It is working so keep praying for them! 

We also had a really good week of finding last week! We got a ton of referrals! Even though a lot of them didn't end up working out we also had a lot of really cool experiences with them. My favorite one was an old man we stopped by in Oatmeal, TX. He used to run his own mechanic shop in his spare garage so it was really fun talking car stuff with him and he showed us a bunch of cool cars! One of them was a Hudson Hornet. Even though he wasn't interested in coming to church or anything, we still had a really cool spiritual experience with him. We just sat on his porch and talked with him because he doesn't really have any friends so im super grateful we were able to stop and talk with him. 

Highlights ✨️
- lost the car keys but then remembered prayer works! 🔑
- dropped off 2 book of mormons in people mailboxes who said they wanted to read them 📭 
- found 2 new members who just moved here👥
- more pretty flowers 💐
- almost got the truck stuck in a mud pit 🛻 

Spiritual Thought ✨️
This past week I was challenged to write my testimony of Jesus Christ in my email home so thats what I'm doing today! This is something I learned a lot about during last general conference but I now have a strong testimony of how Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life! I know that there is no other way to achieve salvation and live with Heavenly Father again except for through Jesus Christ! Because of the atonement I know I can repent whenever I have the faith to pray and ask for forgiveness! I know that because of his resurrection I know that everyone will also be resurrected! I know that when we follow Jesus Christ, he will NOT lead us astray!! In the name of Jesus Christ, amen! 



I love ya'll!! Shoutout to my sister Trinity for graduating from BYU last week!! 🙌 I hope everyone has a great week!! Don't forget to read your Book of Mormon!

  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...
