Now behold the field is white already to harvest.......now the field is on fire......Run!!

Hey y'all!

We had a pretty cool week this week. I got transfer news but you'll have to wait until the end of the letter to find out what it is!
Monday- The Shelby elders came down for P-Day. We played a few board games. It was really fun!
Tuesday- We did a few lessons. Then we did an hour of service and tried to contact people. 



Wednesday- We went up to Brady to do list contacting. On our way back we saw smoke coming up from a field. We technically did have a half hour of street contacting but we decided to check out the fire instead. We got closer and saw that there was a huge fire and 30-40 mph winds didn't help. The fire went 8 miles in a straight line jumping I-15. One of our members in the volunteer fire department said he was in his truck trying to get ahead of it to dig a ditch and cut it off but his truck couldn't even keep up with how fast it was spreading. So naturally all the stuff for the rest of the day canceled on us as they were trying to fight the fire.
Thursday- We had a district council. It of course rained....after the fire was already put out. We went up to Choteau and tried to find some people that wanted to hear our message up there. 
Friday- We were insanely busy. Literally booked from 8:45 in the morning until we rolled into our apartment at 9:30 at night. We served at the food pantry, then went straight to emptying a storage unit. Changed into church clothes and had a short lunch. Went to a lesson with Casey and Elsa. Came back. Changed back into service clothes. Went and helped move 53 bales of hay. Changed back into proselyting clothes and finally got our studies in. We then went to Dutton again for another lesson. We then realized, "hey we're in Dutton we don't want to do our nightly scripture study with Elsa and Casey in a spotty area while driving. Why don't we just visit them and do it in person." And we did! We came back around 9:30 and promptly fell asleep. 
Saturday- We went up to Choteau again. We tried to contact people but we weren't too successful. Had dinner then came back home. 
Sunday- Went to church in Conrad. Watched the YA devotional.  Had an awesome dinner with a member. (THEY GAVE US STEAKS!). Then we got transfer news!! I'm going down to the Bozeman 1st ward!! I'm excited for the change! I feel like I was able to do what the Lord wanted me to do in this area but it's time to move on.
Well it has been an awesome week! Hope y'all have a good one. 
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...
