Priesthood Power

Wow this week was just packed full of spiritual experiences! I think it was just one of those weeks where God decides to dump a bucket full of blessings right on you. Then again, thats like every week on the mission so I dont know why it keeps surprising me. 


At the beginning of the week we had some really good service on Tuesday. Every Tuesday we do service at the helping center, its kinda like a bishops storehouse. But me and Elder Clark were in charge of picking up the bread donation from HEB again. We got so much bread this week that it completely filled our truck bed! 

In one day last week we had 4 lessons scheduled and none of them happened! You'd think that would be a really bad day but we were able to get a lot of good work done anyway! We got a few finds and one of the lessons ended up rescheduling for another day. 

Of course general conference was a spiritual high! Our friend Ben came and watched all 4 of the sessions with us and loved every minute of it. It was especially cool to be part of the solemn assembly as well. This church is so true! 


Highlights✨️
- Elder Rowells birthday last week! I made him a card and bought him buffalo sauce cuz he has an unhealthy addiction to that stuff
- Found a guy who played football for Tennessee and almost played for the Vikings 
- Got an update about my visa!!!!!🥳🥳(first update I've gotten in 6 months)

Spiritual thought✨️
I had a lot of cool experiences with the priesthood this last week. The main one that I want to share is with our friend Ben! 2 weeks ago he broke his thumb in a press cuz he works in construction. A week ago we gave him a blessing that it would heal enough for him still to he able to work! Miraculously it did!!! He was able to work all last week enough to get time off to come watch conference so it was a huge blessing!! I also gave a training to our district last week about the difference between priesthood power and priesthood authority, so my testimony of the priesthood grew a lot last week! Keep praying to gain your own testimony or grow your testimony of the priesthood! It is real! 

I love ya'll! Hope everyone is enjoying the nice spring weather!🌷🌷

  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...
