Now we did help perform service multiple times this week.

O.K. so this week was quite a bit of service!

Monday- (P-day) In my new area, we don't get together with the other missionaries in my district because we're too far away from each other and we need to conserve our miles. So we mostly hung out in the apartment. 
 
Tuesday- We went and helped paint a person's porch railing and then we had a lesson with a woman named Lydia.
Wednesday- We had district council first thing in the morning and then we had a member lesson. We then did some more yard work, and some street contacting. When we went back home we found an ancient paper area book in the apartment and were able to find a few matching profiles and get some lessons from the early 2000's moved into our digital area book.
Thursday- We spent Thursday up in Choteau (pronounced "show dough") and we had an... interesting lesson with a person being taught up there. They just wanted to ask us/rant to us about politically charged subjects. We then volunteered at a blood drive. 
Friday- We had a lesson with a returning member. Then we went and did some service by moving around some boxes for an older lady we are teaching. We then got a call from our Elder's Quorum President about moving someone in on the way home so we went straight to that.
Saturday- We spent Saturday up in Choteau again. We did quite a bit of Facebook finding and contacting through member lists. We spent so much time trying to find a certain home and it turns out it doesn't exist anymore... which was fun.

Sunday- We spent a lot of time traveling that day. We just spent it going to Choteau, then the Stake Presidency wanted to have a meeting with all the missionaries in the stake at 3 so we went up and did that. So it was 1 hour up and one hour down. So 3 total hours of traveling.
Even though we're not teaching a lot of interested people right now, I really like my companion and I'm loving being back in the country!

I hope you have a good one. (Sorry no pictures this 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...
