Now it came to pass that we had transfer news....

Hi Everyone!! 

Monday- We did a little Frisbee golf and met up with the rest of the district.

Tuesday
We did some studying and then had some lunch. We realized we didn't like the set up of the apartment and we re-arranged the living room. After that we went and did some weekly planning. We then went contacting in the park and had an interesting interaction. It went down roughly like this: 
Us: Hi, how is it going? 
Them: good. Oh you're wearing name tags, is that so you don't forget who you are? hahaha! 
Us: Yeah, 😁 we're actually missionaries for our church. Are you religious very much?
Them: We're Baptists.
Us: Oh, that's awesome. Would you possibly be willing to hear a message about Jesus Christ that we could share with you?
Them: No, we love the Lord.
Us: (confused looks while they walked away)
So yeah that was pretty interesting. 
Wednesday:
MAY THE FOURTH!
It was a pretty good day. We tried to contact some people who were previously taught. We had dinner with a member family. We went to a park and just had a really good conversation.
Thursday:
We had district council where I brought brookies (brownies and cookies)! (Thanks for the peanut butter cookie mix Uncle Trent and Aunt Teresa) and went to Buffalo Wild Wings afterwards where we all tried the Carolina Reaper wings. Needless to say I was hiccuping a lot. 
Friday:
We had Zone Conference and it was pretty fire. Elder Valenzuela of the Seventy visited us. It was really cool to learn from him.

Saturday: 
We did some service and we did some contacting. 
Sunday: 
We had a good breakfast and my companion asked a great question, "Why haven't we eaten the ice cream I bought on Monday?!" So I made a milk shake with the ice cream, chocolate milk and the leftover brookies. After we drank it, we left for church and I said "Now to stay sitting for two hours." Maybe the milk shake right before, wasn't the best idea. 
We got to call home for Mother's Day which was pretty fun (I was an amazing son and ordered my mom flowers and a game she has wanted for the last 10 years!! Ticket to Ride! *This was inserted by my very thankful mom 😉💕) 
Another thing that was exciting was that we got transfer news!! I am leaving Billings and going to Conrad, MT on Wednesday! I'm excited to go back to the country but I'll miss my awesome companion! Conrad  is really close to the Canadian border so I'm excited to be going there in the summer instead of the winter! 
Well it has been quite a week.
Hope  y'all have a great one. 
Love Elder Krebs

Our new apartment arrangement!

  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...
