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

 



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 questions my genuine first thought was "I'm too tired to be thinking about this." Luckily there was a missionary on the train who was awake enough to kindly answer his questions in a quick kind way. 


      After landing in Montana all of us met the mission president. We had lunch in a church building and had a little orientation thing. Went to dinner, got my first area with the awesome people of Clinton. Then once we were going to bed in the bunkhouse was when I realized I forgot my charger down in Provo. I ordered one and it's on its way but have been using borrowed chargers since then. 

It was so cool that my first Saturday in Montana was an all-mission conference and Elder Gong came!! It was so awesome, I got to shake his hand!

      


I got to meet my first field companion Elder Hansen. Well, we were in a trio for a bit. So temporarily I was with Elder Johnson but he left for Brazil on Saturday. We did play Frisbee golf with other elders in our district for our daily exercise for a bit. 

Also, we had a bear outside our apartment the past few nights. 

Ok, this has been quite a bit so I'll let you guys go.

Love,
Elder Krebs

  Hi guys!  My week has been pretty fun and like last week it involved a lot of service. So here are some stories.  During fast & testimony meeting there was a primary kid who began to bear his testimony on every person in the ward...... individually. The whole congregation got a chuckle out of it when he said about his sister "I even love Rachel!"  Secondly on Tuesday we had district council along with some yummy, yummy pancakes! After that we were doing some Facebook finding in the stake center's family history center with the Zone Leaders. That's when the ZL's got a call from the AP's that we needed to submit some baptismal forms because as it turns out the companionship right before Elder Hansen came in had baptized someone but then both left like a week later and forgot to fill out the forms.  We went to an amazing burger place called Parker's they have 135 different burgers! If you are ever in Missoula it's well worth it.  We then went to a y...

Elder Zach Krebs spoke in Sacrament meeting last Sunday, gets set apart as a full-time missionary tomorrow, and starts the Home MTC on Monday! We're so excited for him and this amazing adventure he's about to start! Here's an excerpt from his sacrament talk on Sunday, September 19th: "We should be sharing the gospel in normal and natural ways. If we have a ward service project ask if they want to come participate. Although the news may not be showing all the good in the world, most people like to help. Or if they are the ones in need of service we have amazing people in the ward who love to help as well. And if you are feeling nervous remember these words from Alma 32:23: “And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also. Now this is not all; little children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned.” We can be angels as well. We can all follow God’s will for who he will have us deliver his mess...

Hey guys it has been pretty crazy!       On Tuesday my companion and I split wood and then of course the people we were splitting wood for brought up politics something missionaries aren't supposed to talk about. We deflected it pretty good though.       On Wednesday we went up to a part of our area we can't go up to very often because of miles. We had lunch, shared a few lessons, we then went to their branch Halloween party. We were made judges in the chili cook off so my morning the next day was fun. Also, we had the trunk or treat there and a member came up to us as we were waiting for the trunk or treat to be over and handed us bags and told us to go trick or treating.     On Friday we went and helped some people move and that was pretty fun.      So back on Wednesday we had someone offer us tickets to the MSU game and we took one of the people we are teaching to count it as missionary work! The cool thi...
