FREEDOM!!!!

Tuesday July 1st. Today was a pretty good P Day.We spent most of the day at the apartment so elder sterner could pack for transfers. that evening We went over to our new member's house. Scott and sherri's so elder Sterner could say Goodbye. We had a really good time. Wednesday, July 2nd. Today was good.I said goodbye to elder sterner and I got my new companion elder Brut he is awesome, a super, funny guy and also a super hard worker. We had a pretty good 1st day working together.
Thursday, July 3rd. It was a good day, they had fun procelitting.And then had a really awesome district counselor it was a slow afternoon one of those days where you just want to knock off and not work, but you'll know you'll get depressed if you stop working. But but overall, I had fun doing it and it was a good day.
Friday, July 4th. It was a good Day. It kind of helps that the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. Not a lot of people answered the door actually, we only talked to 1 person that day because everyone was out and partying, which don't blame them for and we had to be in our apartment by 6 which kind of sucked cause we weren't able to see fireworks except those that came over the Trees. But we had a really awesome dinner with a member family and they read the Declaration of Independence as one of their holiday traditions, which was super awesome to listen to and look at through the eyes of a missionary.
Saturday july 5th Today was a really good day. We found 12 new people. Which kind of made up for the disappointment of yesterday with no one talking to us? We're able to find 12 new people to teach and we drove out into the middle of nowhere as part of our area to see if we could talk to someone who hadn't been talked to in a while and it turns out their place had been turned into a fishing lodge and was being rented out. So it turns out they moved, but it was low-key kind of cool to drive out there and see If that person lived there
Sunday July 6th Today was a good day. No one came to church once again. Which sucks, but we're trying harder this week so, hopefully, next Sunday we have a lot of people come. We had some pretty good lessons with some awesome people. But the best part of the day was our member meal. We had another meal with the same members who fed us on the 4th of July and after dinner, the husband took us upstairs into his little library and showed us all the weapons he had collected from his travels and the cool historical artifacts and recreations that he had, which was awesome me and elder Burt geeked out over some of the things he had. spiritual thought I love this scripture and thought we would share it with y'all 8 But as oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real intent, they were forgiven. I love this scripture. Because every time we repent, we are forgiven and it shows that Jesus Christ does not care about what we've done as long as we come to him and have a desire to change.

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...
