July 27th 2016


This has been the strangest week of my mission it has been super fun, and just so different from everything I have done.

It started off with driving up to springs on Tuesday and picking up a brand new missionary. I was able to say good bye to Elder Bennett my Trainer and take a "3 generation" picture. We drove home and got to our house at about 8:30 at night. Made dinner and then went to bed. We drove a lot that day it was a long day.

Wednesday was a normal day of missionary work we contacted people and taught lessons. It was really a good day.

Then Thursday happened. It was the first day of what is known as "Mormon Christmas" it is one of the few really really big thing that happens in Valley and so we had a really awesome week we contacted like 300 people easy and just walked around and gave out Book of Mormons to people visiting.

We were in 3 Parades! We drove a truck full of missionaries singing Hymns in 2 of them and walked in a 3rd. I will try and find pictures of it to send next week.

We went to a rodeo and a derby, we were asked to help with the ticket sells and then we were able to watch it! So much fun!

Then Saturday Morning our entire zone ran in the Manassa days 5K Run I don't think I had a very good time but it was still really fun there is like no air up here at all! I think I want to get more into running though after the mission it was super fun!

On Sunday we had a really awesome opportunity to teach the Primary in Sanford 2nd ward about Captain Moroni. We talked about what he did to help the people in there wars against their enemy’s. He fortified the cities and he taught the people to trust in God and obey his commands. In our lives we might not have to fight in battles however we still must always be fighting a different kind of battle. We have to fight against the tricks of the Devil. He wants us to be miserable and turn away from God. If we stand tall and turn to God we will be alright. I know that He cares about us and wants the very best for us.

I love you all and pray for your safety
