I travel back in time and become a pioneer (not clickbait)!!!!

What is up y'all? I know it has been two weeks since I wrote an email so let's see how much I remember. Tuesday. I had a really great exchange with Elder Blackhurst. He was one of my ZLs before he went to Riverton. I had a really good time and learned a lot from him. It was really cool because his first area on his mission is the one I am on now so he knew a lot of places to find people.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We did some service for members and did missionary work. Nothing crazy happened but we did a good amount of knocking on doors which always leads to fun and interesting experiences.
Sunday. It was mothers day. We went to church, had some lessons and I was able to call my mom, which is always the best.
Monday It was the best day of my mission so far. The whole mission went to Martins Cove to do service. I greased, stained and moved hand carts(it made me feel Amish). We learned more about our pioneer ancestors who crossed the plains and the sacrifices that they gave up to join the rest of the Saints in the Salt Lake Valley and receive the blessings of the temple.
Tuesday and Wednesday We had a dry spell no one wanted to talked to us and everyone who did was mean which was crazy I was so unmotivated 😐
Thursday and Friday Lucky people were nice again and wanted to talk to us again so we were able to do missionary work. Saturday Went pretty well. I had some guy try to tell me that I didn't have the Holy Spirit because I didn't speak in tongues🤨. That was fun. Sunday It was good not much happened but I had a good day. Spiritual thought Helaman 5:12 12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall. I love this scripture because it teaches us that when we rely on Jesus Christ, we can be safe when the devil comes against us. Photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ck63mQMBX7NYgbWW6 Elder Thomson

I teach the gospel to a goat (not clickbait!!!)

Hey y’all I hope everyone is doing well. This week has been a little different once again. (Pictures from Tuesday:) To be honest, not much happened on Wednesday, but we did a lot of tracting because we didn't have a lot of lessons planned and we found 8 new people and had a great dinner. Then we came back to our house to clean because we had apartment inspections the next day. We wanted to make sure everything was clean before they came. Not much happened on Thursday, but Friday was my first ever exchange with the zone leaders. I had a really good time learning new things from them because they're really good missionaries. I got to meet a lot of new interesting people, including someone who tried to use star trek to disprove Jesus Christ. I learned a lot from the ZL'S. They taught me great ways to connect with people when you first meet them and how to be more confident in doing the work. Saturday, we had an amazing lesson where we got to teach about the history an...

I leave spiritual boot camp not clickbait!!!!

  What's up, y'all? I hope everything's going well. (Keep scrolling, text and pictures mixed!) Things are going okay for me out here. My last email left me off at the MTC with a couple days left. My last couple days at the MTC were pretty good. Went to the gym, went to my classes and hung out with my MTC district. They are all amazing people that I love and I'm so sad that I don't get to hang out with them every day like I used to.  And of course we had everyone's favorite, general conference which as a missionary is one of the most spiritual impact full things you can do. They had amazing topics.I especially liked the Elder Cook's talk when he talked about the Casper temple here in Wyoming.  On Saturday, in the afternoon between sessions of the general conference, the cafeteria was serving steaks. I got challenged to eat as many as possible. I managed to eat 5 of them, which was a terrible decision because they were all terrible. Sunday was also amazing and...

I ride the range from Casper to Cheyenne (not clickbait)!!!

I'm sorry y'all but email is going to be short and sweet because I for some reason decided to wait until the last minute. Wednesday was our zone meeting where we set our Mission baptisms goal of 100 baptisms!! Which is crazy but Elder Gong of the 12 Apostles promised we would hit that goal which is pretty sweet. That night we drove down to Cheyenne and stayed with the Zone Leaders there. Thursday morning we woke up and went to missionary training so I was able to see Elder Waite and Sheridan and got some awesome training from the mission president and the APs and then drove back to Casper and did some missionary work. Friday was super fun. I got my first on date for baptisms. We stood outside the halfway house and talked to people until the prison guard told us we had to leave which was kind of funny. Saturday was good it started off doing missionary work. That night was Stake Conference so I got to hang out with other missionaries and after the President and his wife...
