 This week was a blurrrrrrrrrr, here are the highlights. 


Monday: Elder Rees got his teeth cleaned and picked up a 200 dollar bill, we went and shot hoops and I'm back to certified bucket status. And I took a fatty nap.

Tuesday: Got a new service gig at an establishment by the name of Newby-ginnings, and I inherited another vest, which puts my grand total of vests to 5. We had a wonderful lesson with a friend Brian who is currently working on developing a zombie video game, afterwards we had dinner with Ute a hugee German lady who made some beef and broccoli (way better than lil bros, learn how to cook bum) we went along with our bishop and visited a few of his youth and hyped them up about missionary work (even the depressing parts) and I got so bored that night I made a Spider-Man pillow. I'm trying to be pick up on some more hobbies, arts and crafts have been calling my name.

Wednesday: At the food bank I discovered a little trick to listen to some music I enjoy, I buttered up the manager and got her to throw some oldie tunes on aux, let's goooo. Still trunky for music...mountains...a normal life....etc. But we're doing good , finding ways to get along with the other elders and joy. We had dinner with the Strongs, Gary the husband burnt the rice and his wife about beat him, so fun. He shared his experiences in the war as an undercover spy who got German soldiers drunk to leech information from them. He is the equivalent of a Mr McMarthy substitute teacher I had back home, I could listen to him forever. On the note of war, we visited another friend of ours who was in his boxers playing Fortnite (he secured the victory.) He is covered in sooo many tattoos, homie looks like an Etch 'n' Sketch pad. On the way to the car wash to prep for car inspection the AP's called and asked if I'd set the church building for zone conference. We spent the whole night scrambling to get it finished.

Thursday: Zone conference. This was actually such a spiritually fulfilling conference, God really is in the details, read your patriarchal blessing, I dare you. We went back to Newby and this one dude about threw hands with me because I couldn't find his couch, and then his dad threw him in truck and peeled off with a couch hanging out the back. We visited an ex marine member, he let me feel the shrapnel in his literal face (he received 2 purple hearts because he got shot and blown up) and after he gave me a taco he had me sign his beneficiary of death as his final witness. Toby Ficklin had us for dinner and he is hilarious, he has a Boston accent and he's a clown (in a good way) met a cop who ironically has the last name Glock. Reminds me of a song...hanging on my earlobe is a rock, hanging on my waistline is a glock .. pop pop! 

Friday: We went to a place called Burger Bunker and I got the sandwich by the name of "The Grenade" which lived up to its name as it blew up in my stomach. I also led the area today on an exchange and I drove for the first time in the mish, I got 5 tiwi violations and hit 1 curb, but I did get back into the swing of things. Missionary advice, always visit a member at the end of the day so they can hype you up after a depressing day. 

Saturday and Sunday: Idek what happened these days, had a fantastic stake conference, caught another mouse, cleaned a hoarders house, played with some kiddos, etc etc

  It's been a while since I wrote an email. A lot has happened! So our friend Asia did get baptized! It was an incredible service. Her leg was still hurting from the bus accident so she stood for the duration of the entire service and when she walked into the font and I baptized her she said there was no pain in her legs which was a miracle. She has been coming to church to an earlier ward because she had a Sunday work schedule but just this week she was able to shift that around so we're looking forward to having her come to her ward and grow in the gospel.  In other news I have been quite busy with some of the craziest things I've seen in my life. I thought this area couldn't get any sketchier but alas it has .... We are teaching a friend named Clarice and we showed up to her house for a lesson and there were six cop cars in the front yard. We waited around for a bit and when they all left we started talking with Clarice and she told us that her husband beat her up be

Poop......There It Is 3-13-2023

  This week was a wild ride that's for sure. On Monday we were shooting hoops and a huge gathering of 14 year old boys showed up with this dude that had a really cool beard and then we proceeded to ball up with them. The teams were interposed between youth and elders. I was on the team with the scrawnier kids but we won. It was fun crossing kids up, breaking their ankles, they were slipping and sliding everywhere. Then the worst thing in the world happened. Our plumbing took a dive, there is a sump pump in our basement that takes the sewage up top where the septic tank is at. Posted in all of the restrooms is a sign that says do not flush more than 18 inches of toilet paper or feminine hygiene products or wet wipes etc. Or else you can clog the sump pump and it'll be a $250 fee to fix and repair. So we have been super diligent about following that rule, apparently some Elders months ago must have used dude wipes because the sump pump got clogged and the whole house started floo

This week we had zone conference, got to see a lot of familiar faces. My companion and I hosted because it was our building. Our mission president and his wife gave us a revelatory experience as they spoke on faith and how to incorporate it into the work. We had pizza (and them we ate pizza for 4 days after that ) I'm literally lactose intolerant, send help.    Howdy folks! How have you found joy in your life this week? For me I found joy in the small moments. I have been serving in Post Falls Idaho for the last 6 months of my life. Time has snuck by me, it's already the month of May, I cannot believe that. I have been serving in 2 wards, White Pines (WP) and Prairie Falls (PF.) The WP Ward is 80% young families all with young kids and I love the family vibe, some of my closest friend relationships come from this ward. The PF Ward is more so older families. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this area (I say this with my fingers crossed that I get transferred next week) I am
