And we did get stuck in a snow bank for the space of 2 hours and a 30 minutes in a place where my tablet of many wonders could not connect to other tablets

......Well you will have to wait till the end to hear the story behind the title. This is going to be a short one because the last letter sent was on Wednesday. 

Elder Hendrix and I, taking pictures on a cool bridge!

Thursday- We had District Council. We then did some Facebook finding. After that we did street contacting because it's warm enough that we won't get too cold. Then we went to dinner with a member. He is pretty awesome. He served in Vietnam so we got to hear some pretty cool war stories. Even though he wasn't given the opportunity to serve a mission he helped teach his fellow soldiers. 
Friday- Friday kind of got thrown off with our plans. We went to chop wood for an older guy in the area and after we got it chopped (it was pretty darn frozen) he offered us hot chocolate inside. Of course, who am I to turn that away? Anyway we started talking and we ended up having the Plan of Salvation lesson with him. You could definitely tell he was feeling the spirit really strongly during it. 

Saturday- We went up to the stake center and planned to do some Facebook finding but ended up running into other missionaries who were doing a lesson with a guy that Elder Hansen and I referred to them and they invited us in on the lesson. Later that day we went to the adult session of stake conference.

Sunday- We went to the regular session of stake conference and then left pretty fast to get changed from our suits into other church clothes to get lunch and go up to some people we are teaching waaay up into the mountains who finally got their roads plowed out. What ended up happening was that 10 miles from cell service we got stuck into a snowbank and we had to shovel ourselves out for 2 and a half hours. By the time we were shoveled out, the sun was setting and we didn't want to get stuck again. So we went down to cell service and set up some member lessons in Drummond since that was closer. We came home at 8:30 and had dinner, played Lucky Unders (a card game) and went to bed. 
This is where we were stuck in the snow!
Well that week was a bit crazy. On a more solemn note: with Ukraine being invaded I would like to encourage everyone to keep them in your prayers. And regardless of your political opinion I would like to encourage everyone to pray that the world leaders can receive revelation on how to best handle this situation. 
I love you all and hope you stay safe.
Love,
Elder Krebs

"Now Behold it came to pass that the heat did go out for the space of 5 days"

  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...
