I become an old man (not clickbait)!!!!!

Monday June 9th Today was pretty fun. Because of the half transfer, we hung out with some missionaries signing bye-bye books and flags and then went on a hike to a waterfall, which was super awesome up on Casper Mountain It's really beautiful. then we all went bowling at this awesome bowling alley that does $3 games. Which for a bunch of broke missionaries is awesome. Then me and Elder Sterner finished off our day going to some of our most progressing people and contacting new ones and sharing the message of Jesus Christ.
Tuesday June 10th Today was one of the best days I've had on the mission. No, it was the best day I've had on my mission so far. We found 18 people today. New people that we can talk to and share the gospel to and we had a couple really good lessons with people that we were already teaching. For me, this has really brought me a testimony of prayer this morning. Part of our council from zone conference was to pray every morning sincerely and promise the Lord that if he provided spiritual promptings that we would promise to follow them. That's what we did today. We promised to follow them and we followed them when they came our way and we were in the right place at the right time so many times today. We saw so many miracles finding some really, really cool people. I really felt the spirit I was really motivated to keep working to find that next person that God would put in our paths to keep studying the word and to keep becoming a better missionary. Wednesday, June 11th Today was a pretty chill day. It was weekly planning. Nothing too crazy happened but on Wednesday morning, our mission President moved the elders out of our district so now me and Elder Sterner are over just a bunch of sisters which is interesting and kind of cool cause the sisters are a bunch of very awesome individuals.
Thursday June 12th Today was my birthday which is kind of crazy to have a birthday as a missionary cause it's just another day in the trenches but it's also your birthday. It was a good day we talked to people and had really awesome and interesting conversations. Which I really enjoyed that night I was able to call my family and open my birthday presents and have family prayer with them. Which was one of the best gifts I could have received was being able to talk to them and pray with them. But I thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes and thank you for the encouragement and support.
Friday, June 13th. Today was good We hit our new person goal for the week which means we talked to and helped a certain number of people come closer to Jesus Christ, which was awesome, but the weather was very bipolar. It started off at 96 and then next thing I knew it was a thunderstorm and pouring it was whole thing. And then it was nice, the rest of the day. I had some really interesting interactions, didn't meet a horror movie character but I did meet a satanist who was very interested in sharing her beliefs today. But it was a really good day. Saturday June 14th Today we helped a member do some service for his neighbor when he helped move a couch and some other stuff and then took it to the dump. It was really nice to do some service for someone right and spread that love of Jesus Christ with everyone.
Sunday June 15th Today was a pretty good day, church was fine but because today was Father's Day we were able to call our families and talk to our dads to wish them happy Father's Day and we had a really good lesson with our friend Willard. We got to know a lot about him and share about the plan of salvation and how much it can bless our lives.
My spiritual thought this week comes from Doctrine and Covenant's section 60 verse 7 Which reads: “7 And in this place let them lift up their voice and declare my word with loud voices, without wrath or doubting, lifting up holy hands upon them. For I am able to make you holy, and your sins are forgiven you”. This scripture was given to early missionaries of the church when sharing the gospel, but I think it really applies to us now and how when we lift up our voices, we will be blessed that when we do lift up our voices and talk to people about Jesus Christ in normal natural ways, The Lord will strengthen us in our work and bless us that we will be able to Help those who we talk to, even if they don't say yes.

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...
