Heyo! Hope you've all had a good week! This week has been pretty solid. I am definitely going insane, but its fine everything is fine. The only thing really keeping me sane is walks and members. We have had some really good memeber lessons which I've enjoyed.  So to explain how insane we are going all four of us Elders went for a walk to a park and we got to this open grass field and starting pretending to through a football around. I kid you not we were throwing back and forth for 10 min and it felt sooo real. People around probably thought we were on something haha. Anyways long story short one of the Elders Moms order us a football so that should be much better and we will go throw it around with the people we met last week, Earnest and Sam.  As for the lessons this week we did some Come Follow Me in Mosiah chp. 27. I'm so grateful for this manual and it really helps us Study the Book of Mormon more effectively. We had a few members share some personal stuff and they rea...

Hello everyone!  Hope you've had a good week. This past week had some highs and lows. We had our Zone Conference and I got to play basketball this week!  So I guess I'll just start with the bad news and get that out of the way. So we had a schedule lesson with Grace on Tuesday and she said she got called into work so we rescheduled for Wednesday. Well the next day she texts us and says that she's going to the hospital for her health and won't be back til Saturday. So I made sure she could do Saturday for sure and she said yes. Well we planned for 2 o'clock and she said that she forgot and was still in the hospital. At this point I'm a bit frustrated because she is telling us she can meet for sure but floggs us. So I ask her if she can do Sunday for sure and she says yes 100%. So we get ready for Sunday and she tells us if we can do 3 instead of 2 because she's hopping in the shower. Then at around 3:15 we get a text from her claiming it's her dad who...

Hello my people! Hope you're week was great, and a Happy Mother's day to all the mothers. This week has been an ok week. Elder Pombo has been struggling and so lessons with members have been reduced. On the bright side though he has been doing better the last couple of days and our friend Grace reach back out to us! So earlier in the week we had been keeping in contact with Grace and she wanted to video call us so we were able to chat with her and she agreed to let us teach her again. We are going to restart all the lessons and take it very slow. The last time we taught her I felt like we were teaching the lessons and not the person. We had lesson with her and it went well. Grace was paying attention and hopefully understanding it all. We only covered the first 2 principles from lesson 1 (God is our Loving Heavenly Father and the Gospel Blesses individuals and Families) We are going to be meeting with her 2 times a week. We hope she can really feel the spirit and have an increa...

Heyo everyone! Hope you all are staying sane and healthy. Its been another average week. We have kept the week busy and occupied. This week we had a call everyday with either our district, zone, or mission. We had our mission mingle and broke out into 7 different rooms and played a game which was fun. We had a stake missionary call and we played game where we guess the movie based off of emojis. We also played would you rather. We played the 5 second game where you have to name 3 things in 5 seconds. The game comes from Ellen DeGeneres and it was fun.  All of the calls this week were fun and really made the days somewhat entertaining. For Sunday our district had a sacrament meeting and I lead a discussion from Come Follow Me. We talked about Abinadi and his faithfulness and courage to stand up for what he believed in. It was a great discussion it made sunday feel like a sunday.  Spiritual Thought:  I was studying patience this week and I came across a beautiful talk given...
