Now we did have snow, fallen trees, and murder in the land of Bozeman!

Hey there! 

As you can tell from the title we had a pretty crazy week! 
So to start with the first eventful thing. We went to pick up some dinner from a member and figured since we were out we might as well stop by some members that were a little less active and share a short scripture. One of the people we visited we had visited her a couple of times before and we had a short visit on her front porch. We thought it had gone okay, but we found out in the news that one hour after our visit with her she murdered her husband and later killed herself. So that was pretty crazy and a little freaky. 

Life continued as normal until Saturday night. It started snowing towards the end of the evening. So we picked up some freeze resistant window wiper fluid so the windshield wouldn't freeze on us. Sunday morning we were obviously pretty excited to get some snow. But when we got to church an entire tree fell over because the fall leaves were still on the branches. And the only handicap accessible entrance was blocked. So in our suits we got to help move a tree while it was snowing with the help of a truck winch of course. We were able to slide in 2 minutes before the sacrament was administered. And did I mention I was speaking? So I had to walk to the front when it was my turn so I didn't interrupt the meeting. It continued snowing and we got about 4-6 inches of snow in a 24 hour time period. 

Transfers happened as well and I am going to the Missoula 3rd ward. Both Elder Allen and I got transferred and we're curious if it has to do with the woman we were teaching that killer her husband and herself. Because we've only been here in Bozeman for one transfer and we're both getting sent somewhere else. 
Anyways it has been a very eventful week! I hope you 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...
