And my companion and I did bring 2 souls unto God in the waters of Baptism that they may too partake in the blessings of heaven.


OK the exciting news happens at the end of this week so bear with me while I go through everything.

Monday- It was P-Day! We visited an awesome ice cream place and it was overall really fun.

Tuesday- we spent a lot of it in Missoula because we had a lesson there and we were advised to limit our traveling so we did a little Facebook finding and did a 2 on 2 game with the people we are teaching. We then hit up an awesome burger place called Frugal's and it is actually really good considering the "frugal" price.
Wednesday- We had District Council and then we went to taco bell while the sisters picked up their trainee. Elder Hansen and I then went to give a blessing to a returning member in the hospital. After that we got changed and went to do some service.
  

A snow storm picked up pretty good right then. (The video shows how bad it really was.) Ironically we showed up for service as it was slowing down and the service was shoveling. We came back to our church building and cleaned up the font and set up the chairs for Saturday's baptism. 


Thursday- This was a weird day. The weather wasn't nearly as bad as before but we were again told not to travel too much and this is when we were supposed to start an exchange with the Zone Leaders, but alas even though we were already in town for a lesson, by the time they gave the advisory our exchanges didn't want to switch.
Friday- We started the exchange at noon. It was hard because it was with someone I'm working to get along with, but oh well. We did a little shoveling. The snow was a lot heavier because we had freezing rain that morning. We then went to a homeless shelter with some fun Elders from the other district and helped serve food. 
Saturday- we exchanged back at like 10 in the morning. We went to another Elder's apartment that live just a few blocks away from where we switched and we did a comp study with them. Elder Hansen went over to our church and started filling the font at about 2:00. Then as 4:00 rolled around, we watched as Brayden and Tristan's grandfather baptized them. After the service was over the grandfather came up to us and thanked us for looking out for his family. It was really touching. (As a reminder, these boys came to be with their mom over Christmas break and during that time we taught them all of the lessons and they wanted to be baptized.)

After that a member invited us over for dinner. They invited a friend earlier but they hadn't responded so they assumed they weren't coming. They had to explain so she didn't think it was a set up with the missionaries. We had fun at dinner, but she left before we closed with a prayer and it's a good thing because it was a long one. As soon as the prayer ended the member got a call from their friend and she had slipped on the ice and broke her ankle! Elder Hansen and I were there and were able to help her into the member's car and they drove her to the hospital. 
Sunday- we were invited to participate in Brayden and Tristans conformation and it was really cool. We then did quite a bit of studying and set up a few lessons throughout the week. We went to a member's house for dinner and it was really fun.
That was quite a week.  It was so fun to be able to bring Brayden and Tristan to baptism. I love you all and I hope you have a good week! 
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...
