And I did tarry in the land of Clinton, MT for the space of many days

Image
  OK, so it has been a while! I missed a p-day  because I had it on Thursday in the MTC but on Monday in the mission field. But anyway here are some fun/funny stories that happened.  So back in the MTC we were comparing people being taught's questions to an iceberg and it was saying that you should know the full concern before trying to tackle it my teacher gave the quote of " You hit that thing and Leonardo DiCaprio is in a lot of distress!" 😁 We had a really awesome last day as a district in the MTC. It was honestly really hard to leave them.       When I left the MTC it was at 3:50 in the morning! On the way to the front runner station, the bus driver apparently thought he was on the fast and furious because he was driving pretty crazily. When we got to the train station I promptly threw up (nothing got on my shirt luckily). We then took the front-runner on up. And when we transferred to Trax there was a basher dude who when he started asking his q...

Provo MTC Drop-off (Oct 1 - Oct 6, 2021)

We enjoyed a wonderful general conference weekend with Elder Krebs, listening to inspiring messages from our Church leaders. Elder Krebs packed up his room and spent his last night at home on Tuesday, Oct 5: On Wednesday morning we enjoyed breakfast at the Black Bear Diner: And then enjoyed some time looking at the beautiful fall leaves at Rock Canyon Park in Provo: It was then time to say goodbye, as we dropped Zach off at the Provo Missionary Training Center (MTC) where he'll be for the next 2 weeks as he continues to prepare for his assignment to serve in Billings Montana: Elder Krebs was so excited to join his MTC district in person after having spent a lot of time with them on Zoom video conference calls during his week of at-home MTC. Elder Krebs' preparation day is on Thursday, Oct 13 and we can't wait to receive our first email from him! This week was quite an adjustment, getting used to not having Zach at home. However, it was also a time of great joy as we continu...

I got to know my district more and learn what and how I am teaching a bit more. After my classes I got to view a pre-recorded devotional from Quinten L. Cook here are a few of my notes fr...
