Going to the Mill

February 22, 2022


 IW's (inspired walks) are when we walk around to find people to teach. In Utah, we can't really knock door to door because everyone already knows who we are, and probably owns a few Book of Mormons from their neighbors haha! As we walk around I am teach Elder Shreeve the area, and how to do missionary work. It is kind of cool teaching him, and seeing the growth. 


I might have mentioned this in a previous email, but there is actually a famous person who lives in my area. I can't say who it is (because the public doesn't know where this person lives), but let's just say this person is on our "do not contact" list. I personally like to be living, you know? Haha

We also went to the mill this week! It was kind of long and uneventful, but good at the same time. We boxed macaroni noodles! Me and Elder Gibson's job was to take the box that others pack, and put it on a pallet. They filled a box about every minute, so I had a lot of down time. It was good to get to know the district more! We will probably go again, and I will try to play music so it's not just the machines that we hear. That get kinda old and awkward after a while lol.

Anyway. Fun area! I am getting to know people a lot more, now that I have been here for 2 months. It will be hard to leave. I CAN ALWAYS COME BACK THO!! And I probably will. It is kinda hard to avoid Davis County when you plan on going to school in Utah or Idaho. Have a great day, and week! Hope to be able to talk to all of you soon-ish (give me 2 years tho).

 July 24, 2023 *my mother exclaimed her feelings on the brief nature of my emails a fortnight ago, so I have decided to proclaim my story how it should be! Overly dramatic for No reason!! (and I'm low key board so I thought this could be fun). Our hero starts off this week in a gloomy, dangerous area knocking door, after door, after door, in search for "the elect". Where is this you might ask? The war ridden lands of the middle east? No. A scorching desert, or an iced over wasteland? No... Davis County... UTAH!  I was hoping to have the pictures from a baptism that happened a few weeks ago but I just haven't gotten them yet. I know, it lame. I am SO PROUD OF HER making the decision to be baptized and take a major step to enter into the kingdom of God! Whenever the picture wants to show up, I'll add it to an email. The last few weeks have been crazy! We find at least 1 more person to teach every day which is so great to see! The people have been prepared in this ar...

 November 3, 2021 Corry and I took Eric to the Colorado Springs airport early in the morning. Some sweet missionaries took our picture when we got inside. They immediately saw us and came up to shake Eric's hand. There's a brotherhood in being a missionary. You stick together and take care of one another. I love that. Eric flew to Salt Lake City, Utah where his cousin, Mariah, picked him up from the airport. She took him back to her house where Aunt Stacey was waiting for him. Mariah and Stacey took him out to Cafe Rio before they took him to BYU where he got to say goodbye to a few of his friends. Then they dropped him off at the MTC! I'm going to miss this kid! I'm proud of him for making this decision to serve. I know he's going to do great things in the two years that he serves the Lord in the Utah Layton Mission.

April 17, 2023 A lot has happened, as you can imagine. Everything has been super busy and the mission has been great! Elder Eggett got transferred to Farmington and my new companion was Elder Goodwin! He is a great guy. Now I'm with Elder Owens. Also a great guy! We have been able to find so many people to teach, it's great! We are constantly teaching or finding. Elder Goodwin was a great companion. We covered 3 stakes (or 28 congregations), and it was a lot of fun. Now that I'm with Elder Owens we are back to 2 stakes (20 congratulations), and we are busy. We found this great family who went to church with us this weekend!!! We are so happy for them. Many others are close to baptism as well, and we hope they can make that step soon. I have been in the same place for 7 months now, which is unusual for a missionary, but I love it! I'm surprised I'm still here, but I know it's where God needs me to be I read through the New Testament last month and now I'm goi...
