Now I did travel down to a land of taxes on sales. Yea even a land called Wyoming, yea even in a small town called Cowley.

Hey y'all! 

This week has been wild. On P-day we had a transfer dinner with the Stake Presidency about 1 1/2 hours away, so needless to say P-day had to end a little early. 

Then we got transfer news on Thursday and both Elder Waycott and I are going down to Wyoming and I am training! We found out in the evening so then Wednesday and the majority of Thursday was split up between cleaning, packing, and fulfilling the lessons and visits that we had committed to earlier. We also had District Council which mainly consisted of signing transfer journals. 

The actual transfer took place on Friday. So we went down to Helena to catch the transfer bus to Billings. But due to all of the stuff that was set up we didn't end up getting to Billings until about 10:45 pm so we crashed in another set of missionary's apartment in Billings for the night. Then we drove down to Cowley, WY on Saturday. When we got there we found out that our new apartment flooded a few weeks ago and they are still getting it cleaned up and refurbished. So we are crashing with the Lovell, WY elders until the apartment gets all the way fixed. 

It turns out that Cowley is a 3 unit area and 2 of the wards meet in the same building so we got to experience a 4 hour church day. Then at dinner we were given a pretty cool gift from the member. So he did some work for a friend who had gotten granite way back when from the same quarry as the SLC temple and he got to keep quite a few stones from this friend. He gave both my companion and I a small chunk off of it. 

Well this has been a pretty cool week! I hope y'all have a great 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...
