This that heat they had zero and Stanley, digging them holes in

Monday, July 7th. Today was a pretty chill p-Day. Nothing insane happened. We played some sports at the church. But the Central Wyoming fair is in town and we went to an interesting alpaca show and we got to walk around some of the livestock and check that out.
Tuesday, July 8th. Today was a 100° which was insane walking around in white collared shirts and slacks. By mid-afternoon, both me and elder Burt were hot, sweaty and mildly irritated Which didn't help when we knocked on the door and a guy wanted to debate the definition of soliciting his no soliciting sign wasn't on his door or around his door it was on his garage on the other side of the house which we didn't see it was kind of funny cause but luckily by the evening at cool down and it was a good rest of the day.
Wednesday, July 9th. Today was a pretty good day. We had a zone meeting. Which is where we gather together as a Casper Zone and talk about are upcoming plans for the month and set our baptism goal and zone focus, This month's zone focus is called. Check the tag it is to help remind us that we are set apart representatives of Jesus Christ. The rest of the day was filled with regular missionary work. Nothing else awesome or sad happened. Thursday, July 10th. Today was another hot day, but nothing else really happened. We had weekly planning and we had a couple of lessons with our friends. But other than that, it was a regular day.
Friday, July 11th. Today was a pretty sweet day. We started the morning off with zone football where I made an awesome interception, but the consequence was. I got some nasty turf burn on my legs but in my opinion, it was worth it. This morning, we had a Zoom devotional with President and sister hall where they asked us to stop petting animals which is crazy No more petting cats just so I don't get Rabies. To be honest, it seems like a pretty reasonable trade-off to pet cats and get Rabies, lol. The morning, other than that, consisted of regular missionary work. But this afternoon Elder Burt. Let me lead the rest of our day. Elder Sterner had let me do it when I was in training. I was in charge of everything. Which was a lot of pressure and I kept fumbling my words but when I calmed down and focused on missionary work, I realized how much more I had grown since being a greenie.
Saturday, July 12th. You know the saying Speak of the devil, he shall appear. Well, the same is true when they tell you to stop petting animals. All the cute animals show up to tempt you. Today I saw the fattest pregnant orange cat ever. Lo-key all it wanted was some belly rubs which I gave it because how could I pass up? I don't think I got Rabies. We had some good lessons today but nothing else happened.
Sunday, July 13th. Today was a good day. It was a pretty regular Sunday. We had our friend Connor show up at church. We went to a baptism for one of the sets of sisters in our district. Elder Burt and I gave a presentation on the restoration, which was pretty good. Elder Burt and I hadn't ever taught the restoration in a lesson before yet and so it was super awesome to see that we had a pretty good flow and could teach well together. Monday july fourteenth Today was an awesome day. It was my first zone conference with the halls which was such an amazing experience. I went into it looking for and seeking personal revelation. And it just kept flowing with answers to questions. I had for a long time as a missionary and I came to a realization and love for the atonement of Jesus Christ and the power it has in my life and the lives of my friends as a missionary. After the zone conference, our district went to Buffalo. Wild wings and had an awesome dinner where a member paid for all of our food which was super nice.
Spiritual thought. 2 Nephi 9:7 7 Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement—save it should be an infinite atonement this corruption could not put on incorruption. Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man must needs have remained to an endless duration. And if so, this flesh must have laid down to rot and to crumble to its mother earth, to rise no more. This scripture, this week has been powerful and has been helpful to know that our Savior's atonement is infinite and powerful to save all. To be honest, I'm not sure I had a testimony of this before this week. But it has really struck me how powerful and how important the atonement is in our lives.

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...
