And there were many miracles wrought among the servants of the Lord

 Hello everybody!

Let me tell you about my week!
On Tuesday we laid some concrete for a member at his place of work. That was definitely stressful. I was on a tool that loosens the wet concrete to make it more liquefied so it doesn't set too fast. I noticed a gospel lesson to be learned here. When we build our foundation on something weak and loose all it takes is a small vibration to knock us down but when we build on something solid we it will take an earthquake to make us fall, if we do fall.
On Wednesday we had pretty fun district council. After that, our District went to Taco Bell and Wendy's and brought it back to the building for lunch. 

We had an activity with the youth and painted Books of Mormon. It was a fun way for the youth to get excited about giving them away to someone!
On Thursday we had an awesome zone conference.  It was about finding "the elect" meaning the ones that God has prepared for us to teach. They encouraged us to pray about finding the elect and promising God we would prioritize them over trying to find others. So Elder Hansen and I prayed after zone conference and then not even 1/2 an hour later we got a text with a referral from our bishop. When we had got there we learned that all 3 of her kids want to be baptized! Miracles really do happen if you pray for them!
We had a few hours of service on Friday where we stacked a lot of wood and had dinner with a member. We talked for a long time (probably longer than we should have) but it was fun. 

Then on Sunday we had our final lesson with Damion! He has progressed so much! When we taught him the word of wisdom he realized a few days later that his family is why he keeps on breaking it so he decided that being homeless but baptized was better than being at home but unbaptized. So he moved out of his house and is living in a tent in a member's back yard. He really is amazing!
Also on Sunday our heater went out so we had to bundle up with a lot of blankets to be able to get some sleep. 
I love you guys!
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...

Home MTC Here We Come!

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...
