Friend at church! (Ch 5: G2 pt2, Week 5)

 And it came to pass that the fifth week of the fourth transfer was full of lots of random things 


I went to Mount Olive with Elder Bergstrom and it was awesome! I love him so much it was such a great exchange! We have a lot in common in the way we approach missionary work and how we teach. We also went to a Pentecostal funeral for the mom of one of their friends on date. It was good. Different than what I'm used to and it made me miss country music. We also put 3 more people on date for baptism!!!

On Sunday we had an amazing ward conference! Our bishopric and elders quorum got reorganized. The bishop is still the same. The best part was that Woody, one of our friends we're teaching, came! And the ward was so awesome and welcoming! He was very touched and felt the spirit for sure! 

Other random things:
* A guy we talked to said he's good at chess and that he'd beat me. Elder Howell let me set up to come back on Pday so I'm going to be playing against him later today!
* Our new member Dylan is getting Wifi soon so we can hopefully get in consistent contact with him and help him get to church every week!
* Èlder Stock (one of my neighbors in Siler City) spent a day with us! It was a blast!
* We had zone council. It was really good and it was about uniting with our companions
* We saw a car that was in a predicament and tried to help but we couldn't
* We had housing inspections in the morning before district service
* Service was in another area that was an hour drive away
* Between service and inspections I got no personal study time Friday morning which really sucked
* Elder Howell's sister got married! 
* Apparently it's daylight savings? I found that out late Saturday night
* I ate a giant slice of pizza
* I hit 6 months yesterday
* We found a frog
* I found a street sign with my dad and sister's name!

During ward conference the Bishop said something that I loved and wanted to share. Think about this "If everyone did what I'm doing how would that be?" How would it be? Would the world be full of truth or deceit? Would it be a clean world? Would it be safe? How can you change yourself to become someone that improves the world?

"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father."
-Mosiah 3:19

I love all y'all so much!
And thus ended the fifth week of the fourth transfer

Church History Museum Visit

My mom and I made this collage for a scout requirement. My mom accidentally put the wrong year on the picture. These pictures are actually from our trip to Utah last December. It was 2015. For scouts I need to write about how this experience helped me feel reverent or helped me better understand my duty to God. It helped me feel reverent because it has historical and religious stuff and only historical and religious stuff. And modern day religious stuff. One example was a replica of the golden plates. We got to lift it to see how heavy they were. They said it was 50 pounds and it was REALLY heavy! Also, I got to see a video that had my Grandma Lynn in it. It was about the early members of the church who were trying to decide who the next prophet should be after Joseph Smith died. Several people had a really strong spiritual experience when Brigham Young began to talk to them and the Holy Ghost helped them know that Brigham Young should be their next prophet. We also went ...

A Story From When I was LIttle and Other Stuff

Recently I have been interested in hearing stories about when I was little. One of my favorite stories that Mom told me was about when Ammon and I were little and we would hog the bed. She said that I would come get in her bed over and over again. Dad would carry me back to my own bed, but I would always come back. She said that even though I was small, I would take up ALL the space. Somehow I could make my arms sprawl all over the queen sized bed so there was hardly any room left. When Ammon also tried to get into Mom and Dad's bed it was even worse. Sometimes Dad would just give up on having room and he would go sleep on the couch for the rest of the night. Right now I live in Craig, Alaska on Prince of Wales Island. All of my cousins are in Utah and all of my grandparents are also in Utah. I miss them and am going to visit them in just a few weeks for my baptism. I am inviting all of my cousins, grandmas and grandpas and maybe some of my uncles and one or two aunts. I already ...

Chapter 2: Siler City North Carolina (Week 2)

And it came to pass in the second week of the first transfer of Elder Shadel in the North Carolina Raleigh Mission... We got stopped by cops!! It was super fun! Apparently we were peeking into car windows from the quadplexes (duplexes but there were 2 on bottom and 2 on top) all 3 of which are a solid 50 feet minimum from the cars. And someone didn't like that and called the cops. Elder Walker and I don't remember looking into any cars but we must have because no one would ever make a false report to the cops. The cops were really chill and we got stickers! A bunch of the people came out to see what was happening and we offered to share a message with them but no one wanted to talk about Jesus. Other random things that came to pass: -A dog bit a whole in one of my pants which is mildly annoying but it's just a small hole. -Service is fun! I like farming and I love goat milk Gelato! Yellow jackets aren't fun though  -I found some random ties laying around! -There are so ...
