Happy Holy Week!

Helloooo This week felt very long to me but I did a lot of fun things and saw some miracles! I hope you all enjoy🎩 March 24, 26 It occurred to me that the Lord gave me mercy by putting me in Broomfield 3rd. It's a familiar area, I lowkey enjoy knocking a lot, and its smaller than Broomfield 1st! If this was my first area I was biking in I'd be so ungrateful but I've been biking like 10-15 minutes everywhere vs 45-90 minutes like I would've in Broomfield 1st. So big shout out to God for knowing me so well and granting mercy to me. We also did pretty well today! Our weekly planning was long but in my defense, I had to train sister Samuel how to do some stuff so thats why it took longer. Also the STLs came along to join us for weekly planning but idk why lol After that, we had 2 hours before dinner to proselyte and we got 4 phone numbers in one block! We taught all of them, got one return appt, and passed out our 3 boms we had on us! It was so fun! We had dinner from 7-8:...

Yakwe!

Hey yall. I learned im actually on bike still but life is also still good and God is still good so we are chillin. 😎 Also Yakwe is hello in marshallese btw (my new comp is from the Marshal islands) March 16, 26 Last dinner After pros time, we took a flex ride bus to a member dinner lol. We had dinner with the Richards and when brother Richards saw us get dropped off he went “WHAT?”😂 I thought it was so funny his reaction because of the bus. He thought it was so cool though! He described it like our own limo despite it being public transportation😂 The Richards have been so amazing to us this transfer though. There are many places in our area we simple would not have been able to go to if we had not been driven by them. Angry lady The richards ended up driving us home but before they did that, we still had 2 hours of proselyting time to knock doors so we knocked doors around the Richards house and then walked back to be driven home. During this time, we tracted into a house that had a...

Waiting on Gods Time

Good morning!! Im back at it again with the highlights from the week and I hope yall enjoy! Oh also my title choice is how I've felt all week lol. March 11, 26 Literally forgot to journal but nothing special happened that day😅 March 12, 26 Pasta press! We had dinner with all the sisters in our zone! The ysa sisters picked us up and we went to a member owned restaurant called Pasta Press. It was lowkey so goodddd. I got pasta with some kind of meat sauce but there was also this super good pasta dish that had pesto and I would definitely go again! Oh also it was free since we are missionaries👍 Had private interviews Sister Churchill and I wanted some final guidance before the transfer was over so we scheduled private interviews (30 minute sit down conversations with the mission president). When we got there at 8pm, there were 4 other guys there who were waiting for walking interviews? They said it was for 8pm but we had our private interviews from 8pm-9pm. We waited for 30 minutes ...

Yet Another Hike

Good afternoon! This week has been an emotional roller coaster lowkey but its been good! Enjoy! March 3, 26 I still cant belive its literally MARCH Ive been gone from home for 5 months at the end of march, thats so crazy😭 We had a good day though! Since I ratted to President about sister churchills piano skills, he has asked her to play some piano songs for an event on march 17th. The exact event I do not know but I think it could be related to transfers? Anywho, shes been listening to the audio clips of these piano songs for the past day or two and during lunch today she literally figured out both songs in one hour without any sheet music😲 My mind is actually blown away by her skills bro After that we had our weekly planning @ red Robin again where we did all of our planning in a little over an hour!!! Previously, I have taken upwards of 4 hours but my STLs help last week was so good! It also helps that we have very little dots lol so we mostly just filled in finding time💀 Later th...

A catholic priest & crashing a lesson

I think this email is definitely on the longer side so feel free to copy and paste this into a text reader to make it more bearable lol. Enjoy! February 23, 26 I recognize my weaknesses We planned with our STLs this week because the last few times I weeky planned, it took all afternoon, when its supposed to take two hours😅 So I texted one of them for help and it was fun! We went to Red Robin, got unlimited dirty sodas and fries and locked in🗿 My problem is that we wanted to take a lot of time planning for our friends bcuz we care but then it ended up taking hours to do so. So, they helped us find a solid method to plan quickly and thoughtfully. Along with that, after we planned for our friends and put in the times we have lessons and other concrete activities, I was bad at putting in finding time. Ive been in very different types of areas throughout my mission so far, so it was super helpful to hear how they plan! For finding time, their technique is putting in blocks of finding and ...

Belated Email - Temple Pday edition

Hello Yall! This is late bcuz of my temple Pday! Sorry your weekly scheduled program was changed but life is all about change so whatever. Enjoy! February 17 🎶Play me a song, your a piano man🎶 I had a private interview with President Clawson and towards the end of our interview he asked if I thought sister Churchill was actually good at piano because if he asked her she would be gracious and say no but I told him the truth that shes good! So after our interview, he asked her to play in front of 4 missionaries plus president on the spot! She told me she afterwards that she was so nervous and that makes total sense😆 What made matters “worse” is after that, president asked to play heart and soul with her and president told her to improvise her part😨 I could never play the piano in front of people like that but she was a pro! February 18, 26 Bussing & walking We have been forced to think more creatively about how to get around our area because its too big for bikes but almost too s...

Denver Tour Pt2 & Big Daddy's Pizza

Hello hello hello! It's finally pday! This week felt very long but it was a good week! I got to go on the denver tour again and on Saturday we got 15 phone numbers in a day!!  Oh also I deleted Facebook and I feel holier than ever.😁 February 9, 26 It seems like every day this transfer nothing has gone the way I planned it to Idk how to adjust my brain on that but it seems to be very necessary  I called my family from 9:30am to 11am then we went to walmart to go shopping We had to walk our groceries home😭 it was 20 minutes of slow torture and my bread ended up looking like it had scoliosis based on the way it looked once I took it out of the bag Ollie also told me all about his patriarchal blessings and WOW!! He has great thing is in future! Hard things potentially, but great things too! Then after pday we decided it was a good idea to use the bus up to the northern part of our area just to get right back down lol We assumed we wouldnt be doing any actual finding because we n...
