Now we did celebrate the birth of the one is who is called Mighty Counselor, Prince of Peace and the Son of God.

Hey everyone! 

I hope you all had a great Christmas! And that you have an awesome New Year! 
Tuesday:
We knocked a lot of less active member's doors and we went Christmas shopping.
Wednesday:
We went to district council and we were able to visit 2 less active members that we were able to make a return appointment with from Tuesday. One of them even gave us dinner! We also attended the youth white elephant Christmas party.
I got some plastic duck feet finger puppets!

Thursday:
We did some service. We were digging the holes for and putting in wooden posts to build a cattle chute. So that was a fun experience. After we got 3 in it was time for us to go. We got a special delivery from our ward and they gave us a lot of presents. We had dinner with a member and their dog. The dog was literally  shaking with excitement at the top of the stairs when he saw us. It was so cute.
Friday:
It was Christmas eve. We had a mission wide call that anyone who wanted to join could, if you didn't, that was alright. We went to a member's house for a Christmas eve party and it was really fun. Catch phrase got a little intense (fun intense to clarify, no one was angry or anything) we also got chocolate Christmas oranges with pop rocks in them from the members.

Christmas day:
Woke up at 6:30 
Opened presents
Went in to Missoula to call family because the internet is way better there than in the outskirts. 
Went to the institute building to hang out with our district and did a white elephant gift exchange and played some games together.
We went to a member's house for dinner. We played games, hung out and they had a cousin over who had gotten a bottle of hot sauce made out of the hottest pepper in the world! We all tried a dab of it. It actually tasted pretty good. We went home afterward.

Sunday: We had a fun sacrament meeting! We had a Christmas program that was really nice. We were able to finish up our first township in knocking doors and we went down to a member's house and had dinner.
That was an awesome week. I hope you had an awesome Christmas and that you have an amazing New Year!
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...
