And it came to pass that we did commit a murder against a creature of the sky with our transportation machine while moving at 72 miles an hour

Well this has been a fun week! We taught 2 impromptu lessons that turned out really well. With that let's get into the week. 

Monday- We had a ping pong tournament with the Shelby elders. Well more of a winner stays type of thing. I was the one staying at the end....but it was because the previous person was staying for a long time and surrendered his position so he could go play the game that the other Elders were playing.
Tuesday- We had a service appointment that halfway through turned into a teaching appointment when we started talking. We talked about our role v.s. Christ's role in forgiveness. It was pretty cool that some teaching came out of our service! After that we did some street contacting and Facebook finding. 
Wednesday-We had district council down in Great Falls which because we don't get down there too often means a Walmart run so we can get food for a lot cheaper than the stores down here. Then we did a companion study, street contacting then visiting people we were asked to visit by the ward council. 
Thursday- We had a mission wide meeting about how to "find" more effectively on Facebook. We went up to Choteau and did some street contacting. An 18 year old from the ward buddied up with us for a few hours as we tried to contact people. We ended up talking with an 98 year old man in our ward. He has some very interesting life experiences. 
Friday- We had a few member lessons. We got a panicked call from someone who had their friends cancel on them last minute for a moving project and she wasn't a member but the missionaries had helped her in the past. We went to help her. (Don't worry, this one didn't take 8 hours) and at the end we offered her a Book of Mormon and she accepted it! We explained the basic history of 1 Nephi and then skipped ahead to 3 Nephi 11. She was so interested! We contacted the missionaries in the new town she was moving to, to make sure that she gets visited. 

Saturday- This day involved 2 hours of street contacting. We also got to go to a ward party. And do some list contacting. This is also when we had the unfortunate incident with the bird. There were a bunch of birds on the road but they usually fly away when a car is coming. One unfortunate bird, didn't move in time and we hit him with the front of our car and it banged on our windshield and bounced off. 
Sunday- We had church. Did some street contacting. Had a pretty solid lunch. Then we got transfer news. I am staying and Elder Terek is unfortunately going. He's getting transferred to Helena.
Well it has been a crazy week. Hope y'all have a good day!
Love,
Elder Krebs
I was a slacker and didn't take any pictures this week.

  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...
