Quarantined Week 2!

 

Quarantine Buddies

What is up my friends! Coming back at ya with another weekly! We don't got many of these left

So highlight this week was definitely Thanksgiving! We've been quarantined all week so that hasn't been too fun, but Thanksgiving we were given 2 meals, and we even made a meal of our own, it was kinda fire ngl. Always good to talk to the fam as well!

Our Amazing Home-Cooked Meal!

Other than that, just trying to pass the time! Went on a few roadtrips (Don't worry we have the miles) and have just gotten some good studies in! This is just a good time to reflect on my mission and get my ducks in a row I guess. Our quarantine should end on Thursday if all our symptoms are gone

Enjoy the photos! Wyoming is just gorgeous! Not a bad place to be quarantined!!! See for yourself!!!

Episode V "The Covid Strikes Back"

Yo what is up gang! Sorry I'm emailing on Tuesday... My Pday got switched cuz of transfers, PLEASE don't kill me for this one! This is an interesting week that's for sure!

So we start off the week kinda on fire ngl. We had exchanges and some really awesome lessons! Even invited a few of our friends to church and built some great connections. 

But that's where the fun ends...

We be quarantined for covid. I'm doing just fine don't worry, but since Thursday we've been stuck inside! Not a great way to spend Thanksgiving but it's whatever If there is a week to not do any missionary work, its this one, when everyone is out of town and busy. Bright side to everything!

So we've just been partying it up. Because we got miles and a beautiful area we are just gonna road trip. Kinda pays to have Yellowstone in your area. So here are some photos of our travels! 

Also we got transfer news for my last 3 weeks, I'll be staying in Cody to finish up! Pretty happy about that!

Hope ya'll have a great week! I'll survive don't worry! 

Now this is a Cody Moment

 

ATTENTION - CRAZY WEEK YALL

This week was A W E S O M E !!! Started out with a super lit Pday up at Buffalo Bill reservoir with the district! And also a lit district council with interviews! And exchanges with THE Elder Sam Hatch!

We've had a really great week when it comes to the work. Had quite a few lessons! We did a chapel tour with one of our friends and it went really well! The murals have a lil presentation that basically teaches the restoration for us! Gave out some books of Mormon and just overall had a great time!

Did some mad service as well, chopped a crap ton of wood, cleaned up some vinyl fencing, and helped someone move!

We also got to go out to Wapiti (just outside Yellowstone) for some service and it is gorgeous out there! And got a little buggy ride with some Belgian draft horses! 

You could say it was a good week for sure! Just partying it up per usual!

All Things Denote There Is a God

 

The other day my friends and I explored the Buffalo Bill dam just outside of Cody

It was one of those moments; a day that is cemented in time. A memory to always look back on with a smile

The Shoshone River was full of crystal blue water, The rocky cliffs were littered with sagebrush and trees. A chorus of water and laughter filled up the steep canyon walls. The cold, rapid wind pierced through our clothes, while the treasure that is the present pierced my heart...

It reminded me of a quote from the author C.S. Lewis:

"We can say we believe in Christ as we believe in the sun at noon day, not that we can see it, but that by it, we can see everything else"

Everything, testifies of a Supreme Creator. The majesty of the mountains, the course of rivers, the breeze in the air, and most miraculously, you and I!

And because He created all these things, It is Him, that allows us to enjoy everything that is!

And so, when we get lost in the rocky cliffs of mortality, or confront the tapestry of trials that is so beautifully woven throughout our lives. We ought to remember who's hand is in all things, and that same hand is at the front, anxious to lead us in all things! (Isaiah 41:10)

I'm grateful for moments like these, that just by glancing at the many things around, we are able to see divine design, and the Diety that loves us all so very dearly.

It is only through the Savior, and having a deep personal relationship with Him, that we are able to fully enjoy these carefully crafted chapters!

"The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator."

- Alma 30:44

Zone Conference Babyyyy

 

What is up yall! This week was actually super great. Definitly give it a read!

We start off with good ole Pday. Went on a hike with the district which is always a good ole time. Then we had zone Conference! Brother Littlefield came which was super awesome (He does a lot of social media work and works closely with the general authorities) he gave some great insights for us and definitly fired me up for the final stretch here.

We have had nothing but great visits and lessons this week. We've been able to find a couple of new friends and more on the way. The wheels are starting to turn that's for sure haha. We haven't gone a day without meeting someone new and sharing the gospel with them. Either on Facebook or in person. It has been really awesome!

Had to drive out to Powell for a couple of Baptisms. Gonna give a couple of chapel tours here this next week. Went to Bubbas Barbeque. Ate some really good Salmon. Going to do some mad service as well. Just good stuff all around! 

That's kinda it. Just missionary work haha, nothing too crazy. Hope yall have a great week!

Kill 10 Flies Before Dinner🥺

Heart Mountain

Alright yall! This week was ABSOLUTELY FIRE

We have had an amazing week! There is a ton of work out here in Cody. There hasn't been much done in the past so we are kinda reaping the harvest out here. Especially with the temple announced, people are more curious then ever :)

We've had a couple of great lessons and visits! We had a couple of miracles as well this week. We went to bring some cookies to an older lady who used to be taught, and we ended up knocking on the wrong door but a very nice lady opened the door with her 3  boys and we had an awesome visit! Finna try teaching em this week!

Halloween$$$

Did a little bit of service as well, raked some leaves, helped a couple people move, helped out at a covid drive (ended up talking to a guy named Eagle, he's Markipliers cousin turns out) doing some street contacting, Facebook work, a little bit of everything. Our "line" is in the "water" pretty much every hour of the day which is sonice

Had some great dinners as well. Had a dinner out on a dairy, the members made us swat 10 flies EACH before we could sit down and eat. Kinda a fair trade if ya ask me. Pulled up to a dinner and the member  (an old farmer for your information) was up on his forklift trying to fix some shingles on the roof... had Halloween this week (that was a thing I guess lol) had to do a couple baptismal interviews in Powell, just the usual!

JUST STAYED BUSY THIS WEEK DOING WORK

WE REALLY OUT HERE IN CODY
