  What a BUSSINN WEEKKKKKKKK! Dang it was a great week just super busy. Everyday this week we had an exchange (when you switch companions for a little bit of time)  I love going with all the Zone Leaders on exchanges because I learn so much from them. They really do inspire me. They are all studs.  This whole time Elder Kempton and I have been together we've been wanting to get a Lava Lava so last Monday we finally did (because we have been covering 2 poly wards) and for out weekly Presidents meeting we decided to play a little prank on President and Sister Evanson. So we put our normal suit pants on but then we rolled it up and put the Lava Lava over top of it and knocked on their door. We were kinda scared they were gonna get mad but they just busted out laughing. Sister Evanson had to take a pic. President shut down our idea of wearing it to the poly wards church sadly haha.  A lady we started teaching this week (Stacey) we had a lesson with her setup for today at...

  WOW!! This week was crazy. We gave about a lot of trainings this week. We gave a training to; the missionaries who are going to be a trainer for a new missionary, all the new missionaries, and the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders. So there was a lot.  On Tuesday we got to drive down to Provo to pick up the new missionaries and that day is always so fun. They are all so curious and wide eyed.  Wednesday is the day where all the missionaries meet up at our Mission office and get their new companion and then go to their new areas (this is what transfer day is) and bruh Elder Kempton and I just be runnin  around with our heads cut off tryna get everybody all situated and everyone tryma talk to us at the same time. It's honestly really fun! I love all the missionaries they are the best! We went up to Salt Lake City this week because the mission is getting 5 new cars. So we went up with the vehicle coordinator and his wife and then we brought down 3 of them. It w...

  Hey everyone this week was crazy busy getting ready for transfers. So we spent a lot of time on a computer. It was good tho for sure. Last Monday we found out a family who isn't a member was moving into our area so we went and helped them move. We don't help too many people move tbh because we are pretty busy with teaching and other things so we decided to help this family move as fast as possible. They came with a full U-haul truck and we moved it all inside in 25-30 minutes. God helped us in that one for sure!! One day we knocked on a members door to ask who in the neighborhood we could stop by or if he knew any of them. He told us to stop by his neighbor. So we did and we talked with her and setup a time to meet again and then we went right back to the member neighbor told him about it and invited him to come to the return appointment and he was a little hesitant but he agreed. Then the day came and we came and got him and had a lesson with her outside before she went and ...

  This week was packed busy. Ngl I was dead tired but it was super fun. We had 3 proselyting zone conferences and 1 service missionary zone conference. It was sick. Sorry I didn't send a email last week....we didn't really have a pday, we had to freaking do a fat ton of errands for EVERYONE  This week we started teaching a Girl named Kyleigh and her and her mom came to church and then another boy came with them and we were excited wondering who it was and it is her older brother who is interested in learning more also. So we set a baptismal date for Kyleigh and we are gonna help the older brother work towards that too!!  We had an exchange this week and E. Kempton went with a companionship and I went with another. I went with some Elders who were in my zone back in the day and it was soo fun to be with them. We had a bunch of miracles just happen. One lady at first said she wasn't interested in us talking to her but we kept the convo going and she let us in and we had a B...

  Dang this week done zoomed by....we were insanely busy We have to go on exchanges with every Zone Leader so that's 9 exchanges so we went on one everyday this week. It's super fun but also very tiring. We don't get back to our own apartment till like 10:30 and we still gotta wake up at 6:30 but it's still great.  I'm sorry this will be another short email some things that happened... Met this inactive poly family who has a child who isn't baptized and the first thing the kid says is, "I wanna get baptized" and we looked at the mom and asked when we could set that up for God is blessing us so much even though we can't spend that much time in our area.  We had a lot of people that we ran into this week who did not like the church at all. It's always super sad to see people so mad at us even though we are literally trying to help them in any way. All we can do is offer and invite and it's up to them if they accept.  A few times this week we ...

  Hey everyone these past 2 weeks have been BUSY BUSY. Transfers were this week since we had to figure everything out (especially since the other 2 AP's got released) and last week we had to prepare so much for transfers it was insane. I think God has blessed me with all this business because if I wasn't these past weeks would be too hard.  I hope everyone who knew Tolu is doing OK. This is a hard time and it will take time to heal but I know because of God's plan of Happiness we will be able to see him again. He is watching over us now. I'm gonna miss him and it still hurts. If anyone ever needs anything just send me an email.  Sorry for the short email but these are just some pictures. Love you all 1. All the missionaries covering Polynesian wards... we had a musical fireside which was fire 2. Canon's baptism 3. Dakota and Daxtons baptism (sorry if it's blurry) 4. Permisius's baptism 5.  6. Picking up the new missionaries from the MTC... I got to whip the ...
