And we did journey far from our abode yea even 2 hrs away, but I say unto you this is still in our area so let not your hearts be troubled

Dang this has been a pretty crazy week!

Let me break it down
Tuesday was a lot of chopping and stacking wood but that evening we went to the youth activity which was playing volleyball. A light was taken out by the volleyball. (Their gym and chapel are the same area we just have an accordion door like 2 feet in front of the pulpit and all the chairs are movable) Anyway a light was taken out soooo we spent a few minutes cleaning that up.
On Wednesday we had a mission wide area book training with my Dad! That was pretty fun! We had district council and went on exchanges. My companion is the DL so you will read about a lot of exchanges this transfer. 

On Thursday we went to go do service. First, we mucked out a goat pen. Then we stopped and had lunch. Then moved some furniture for an older lady. 
On Friday we had a Facebook finding training in which Elder Hansen and I together ate the entire bag of Funions that my family sent in a package. Friday was mainly a day of useless meetings for me. Then we had dinner with a member of our ward.

On Saturday we traveled to the edge if our area to perform service for and teach some people. It started snowing and by the time we got home it was like a good 2 inches! So because we can't ride snowmobiles to that part of our area, we are stuck with zoom lessons with them from now on.
On Sunday we had quite a few lessons. Someone we were trying to get to church for a long time finally came! First they caught a cold, then right when they got over that they had to be quarantined because they had come in contact with had covid (they were safe, don't worry) then they went out of state for Thanksgiving. So it was so cool to finally get to see them at church. We also watched the Christmas devotional last night. And a member made snow for us!

That brings me to today! My week has been pretty dang fun.
Here is a quote that I really liked this week “Just as we should not lower the standards that the Lord has established for the conduct of His servants, we are also not authorized to raise them. … Be sure that you do not have higher standards for yourself or others than the Lord has established” -Elder Cecil O. Samuelson in an MTC devotional. 
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...
