 June 5, 2023 S4 ep 1 I'll just start out by saying how amazing God's plan is. It is so cool to see it play out in such intricate ways. So many times this week I saw this happen. Over a couple of weeks we have fallen out of contact with some really promising people. This week we just happened to keep running into them. So that was really cool to see, and we're going to see how they decide to move forward! For those of you that missed my last micro email I am now the district leader here in Mountain Shadows, and also training a new missionary. I'm barely out of training myself so definitely a bit surprising, but I'm really excited and confident in myself. It really is amazing out here. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else, even with all the cool things going on back home, I'd rather be here serving the Lord and the people here! One day we biked like 30 miles or something because our Sisters needed us to come move some big furniture for one of their members...

MS3 ep 3.5  May 31, 2023 Today is P day too, and we just got our transfer news and what not so I figured I'd send a quick email out! So we already knew that we were probably staying and SUPRISE! We are staying. I will continue to train Elder Deniger here in Mountain shadows for my fourth transfer. They make phone calls throughout the day to extend callings such as zone leader and district leader etc. I didn't get any phone calls, except at transfer news (which they do over a zoom call).  It turns out I'm the DL for the district too. So I am going to be a district trainer. All in all I haven't had much time to think about it, but I'm pretty excited for it, it'll be a ton of fun. Anyways, we pretty much just played volleyball with the zone today and some basketball in my new Giannis shoes so that was sweet. Life's been crazy with all the changes and there is some crazy stuff happening with transfers tomorrow that I will talk more about next week. G...

S3 ep3  May 29, 2023 What's up everyone! I hope life is going well, it's definitely pretty solid out here! The only downside is we get fetchin stuck at places on P day, but we're working on it. Maybe we will get a car at transfers. Chances are we don't but we can still pray right? Anyways, this coming week is going to be kind of strange, we have 2 P days. A partial P day today and a full P day On Wednesday. We get Transfer News over a zoom call Tuesday night and we have transfers Thursday. Transfers are going to be absolutely crazy, President Eyre said he is going to just mix everyone together from both missions and almost no one is staying but chances are we will stay since I'm training and he's been out like 3 weeks 😂   The area has definitely gotten a little rougher as it gets hotter, less people are outside and those that are, are pretty cranky but it's whatever! We keep pushing forward in faith and diligence. We are teaching a really really promisi...
