One Month in the Books

ZONE CONFERENCE




We focused on teaching by the spirit and learning how to be better teachers, and finished the day with lots of great practice.

      

    





Has it been a month already??? That's crazy It does feel like its going fast but not THAT fast, i haven't been keeping track (i figure it'll go slower if im counting down the days like christmas).

Successfully received first packages, box is nice too ill keep it as a bookshelf xd.  Boom bookshelf box.  


Jakob hasn't texted us back yet, his mom said he works a lot but he should have time to send us a yes/no, we aren't letting him go like past missionaries have lol. We've had a few more lessons with Jared and he's working on coming to church 🎉. 

The exchange (with Elder Winn) went well, it was only 24 hrs. So we switched back at 9 or so last night.

The storm you had Thursday must have blown over to us on Saturday, we went to some desolate townhouse neighborhood, half the houses were still being built, so a lotta dust over there, but then the rain started and the dust settled and it was nice, it was dumping down rain for a bit while we were knocking and talking to what few people lived there. The weather feels crazy here.

I also did some exercise for like the first time in my life yesterday and pushups made me tired and sore right after, but I did some lunges and squats and it didnt feel like anything so I just kept doing them until we had to leave but my legs are shot today so ig it did something.

Elder Scott and Elder Madsen in Eagle Mountain Area

Meet the first companion, Elder Madsen:    Helping out at a youth activity (picture from Sister Terry); We also get to go to the youth activities which was fun, the priests and teachers were doing a coding activity where they had to write sudo code to code the person teaching to go to the gym and make a basketball through the hoop. Cookies at a member's house, Elder Scott reports they are being fed really well: Oh, and Pickles too: From the mission field: "I had two really awesome experiences today, p-day ends at 6pm so we go out talking to people at 6. We met Jared, he had some personal issues, he was a firefighter, so a bunch of mental issues and he fell away from the church a while ago, but he recently started getting back into it and prayed for the first time as a family yesterday and we showed up today, it was really cool (i tried to describe what an awesome spiritual experience it was for us and him and what it felt like but i couldnt), its interesting to see that as som...

Dino Nuggets & Firetrucks

Image
I'm excited to go to walmart today (how is that one of the highlights 😭) getting to pick up some food and stuff, I ate my last dino nugget (yup) yesterday so im outta food, gonna get some actual ingredients this week instead of microwave stuff. My companion mostly just uses what he has, he wanted to make tacos but had no meat, cheese, or sauce so he make it with Dino nuggets, doritos, and salsa.   8.21.2025: Smelled like eggs in the apartment when we all got back. We let someone know and they told us to call 911. Well.. We just got a call from the APs, they said they were pranking the other elders we live with.  The firefighters left, and they said they didn't ready anything and joked about why it smelled bad, so we told them and they're like 'yup sounds about right' and they left, nobody said they were mad about it and that it was typical teenage stuff. 8.22.2025: On exchanges with Elder Winn.  When knocking for almost an hour in the evening, but didn't have a...
