Teaching, Splitting and Dunking!

February 23, 2015

Hi :) so some quick highlights about this week. It's been crazy being a ZL. So much work. Holy moly, there is no time to stop and consider the lilies. We taught about 20 lessons this week and had 5 people at sacrament. We also got 2 investigators on hard date. For the 14 of March. They are awesome. We had a solid lesson with them on Thursday. And we planted a tree for them. We have another baptism coming up on the 8th of March. He's quit smoking and coffee in three weeks he's been able to do this. Keep him in your prayers. He's a single dad. Changing for his son. It's cool to see his change. Also we have 1 potential on date. And we talked to a la old man tonight who helped with the Apollo 13 mission. He has part of the ship at his house. And he's really old. But he told us cool aeronautical stories and about astronauts. Was wicked awesome. He signed a photo for me and gave it to me. I went on exchanges to Ashland. A college city in the which you don't have to wear any clothing. None at all. So that was really weird. I'm healing from my crash. My hands have healed. Fast really. And my knee is healing haha. Body feels great. I've lost 4 lbs since being out. It was actually sweet because we played football last p day I caught a sick one handed catch while I was being tackled, more like pass interference, but I caught it while falling with my legs. It was cool. And it was a 4th down conversion for 35 yards. Anywho I agree all missionaries should have a good crash story. I have to prepare a talk on the 8th for a stake youth fireside. 15 minutes. We had an ice cream social that I was in charge Friday night with about 30 youth present. I talked about charity and showed the Good Samaritan. We have talks in our up coming mission conference. Notice I said mission. That’s right the whole mission will be there. That's this Tuesday. Than I have a talk at our zone conference in 3 weeks that'll be 10 minutes long. And I have to also prepare a 30 minute talk on the atonement. So I'm a twitch overloaded:) good stuff :) also I finished the Acts. Paul is a stud of a man. We had a really fun chili cook off on Saturday night. Was a blast! Members invited non-members and friends and it was great. I tried the hottest chili. It was hot. But not to bad. It was great to get to know the ward through this event. This ward is a missionary ward. Everything they do they invite people to come with them. It's awesome! On Saturday morning all morning long I chopped and split wood. Massive logs. And little stumps. This guy had a huge wood splitter that we used. It would take a log about 3 feet wide.  Huge! But I got super sore from it. Moving all that wood. Plus I split a lot by hand and they called me the mini Goliath. Lol made me feel good. :) Over all great week! I got a sweet letter from my grandma. And got to remember my amazing little brother on his birthday. Anywho I love you all so much! GRIZZ
