September 12th, 2016 (Ice skating and such mischief)


It has been a fun week! Our Preparation day was moved to Tuesday last week so we went ice skating as a zone and that was so much fun! This is my zone they are so much fun!

So I have found that I am an okay ice skater, I mean no I cannot stop at all without the help of a wall... and I don't have the best balance but I only fell twice. So I call that a win! I did crash into the wall pretty much any time I would stop so that was a new experience. It was a lot of fun though!

On Wednesday Elder Hagman and I drove to the Springs for a meeting with the other mission leadership and we had JustServe training after that. If you haven't heard of Just Serve then go to justserve.org and look for stuff to do around you every day. It is something that as missionaries we do every week and it is a blast! I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!

One of our just serve projects is at the Pueblo zoo and we went to that on Thursday and it was wonderful! We helped clean out an old shed and a picnic area in the zoo! It was a ton of fun!

So in my studies this week I started the Book of Mormon over again and it stood out to me more than normal the very first verse in the Book of Mormon "I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days."

The very first thing talked about is the family, it is something so important to God that he reminds us and teaches us of it over and over again. If it is important to God our Father in Heaven, then it really should be important to us as well.

I am very grateful for my family and all that they have taught me, I know that I can always rely on them to tell me how it is, and they have helped me learn of these things for myself. I am so grateful for them!

I love you all and I keep you in my prayers.
