And I did go up into the mountains, yea even my whole district and we did cut down a tree yea even one for each companionship and we did do this that we might decorate it and celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Good Morning everyone! My week has been pretty fun! Here's some of the stuff that's happened. 

Monday- P-day, a member offered our district to cut down a Christmas tree on their land. They were trees that were growing in the dirt road leading past their house so they were going anyway. We rigged a makeshift tree stand.

Wednesday- we had District council which was fun! We then visited a referral in Missoula and visited a person we are teaching over in the homeless shelter.
Thursday- we did exchanges again, this time I was with Elder Bagley. We had dinner with a member family and they asked if we wanted to bring home some apples! We of course said yes! Then as she was putting them in a bag she said that they had been picked for a month and a half now. So we decided not to eat them but they didn't go to waste, we left them outside for the deer.

Elder Bagley and I spent a lot of time talking and he beat me in battleship quite a few times.
Friday- we helped move some stuff for a member of our ward in the morning. We then exchanged back at noon but did the trainee meeting together. 
Saturday- we helped carry some lumber and shovel out a house frame for a house a member is building. Then we built a snowman. And we went to the ward Christmas party. 
Sunday- we gave talks in church. We then did a lesson down in Clinton and then went up to Drummond to go to THEIR ward Christmas party. When we went home it was a blizzard like a full on blizzard. But don't worry, we drove slowly.
It's been a fun week! Hope y'all do fun stuff!!

  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...
