Yardwork


Another week has come and gone. This one was pretty fun and everyday was pretty decent so honestly it was a good week. 

As usual the past few weeks, we did a Livestream on Facebook on Tuesday where we sang a few hymns and shared our testimonies about the hymns, it's always a load of fun and I look forward to those Livestreams.

The most exciting aspect of the week was that on Thursday we spent a few hours doing some service working in the yard with some members who own a huge chunk of land! We spent like 4-5 hours with them taking off some top soil and doing lots of work with shovels and wheelbarrows because they are wanting to build a little pathway in their yard. Most likely we'll be going back to help next week which is exciting. But we had lots of fun working and also got a little bit of a sunburn which is like pretty much the first time I've been sunburned here in England haha. 


Our week was also full of some great meal appointments with members along with a couple good lessons sprinkled in throughout the week with the people that we are working with. All in all a pretty average week in the life of a quarantine missionary, which I'm happy about so things are great. 👍

That's all from me, I hope everyone is safe and keeping busy, with lots to be grateful for! Talk to you guys next week.

Final Mission Thoughts

  I recently received an email from my dad who gave me an invitation to read Alma 26 about Ammon describing his story and his experience as a missionary, and then to write my own mission story down. I decided this would be a great experience and I know my ideas may be a little out of place in some moments and that I might forget some details, but I hope and pray my writing will capture and portray a small portion of the joys and challenges of my full time missionary service. I hope this will bless my future self and all who read this story. All things contained here are true experiences and moments that helped to shape the course of my young life up to this point.  On Tuesday October 9, 2018 I was dropped off by my family at the Salt Lake City Airport to fly to the Preston, England missionary training center. It was a very emotional day and tough to say goodbye for the next 2 years but I know that I was doing the right things and fulfilling my duty as a priesthood holder to se...

He's Home!

There is nothing quite like that first hug in 2 years.  It is something you have to experience to completely understand.  I missed this boy so much.  Even though I got to video call with him weekly, there is nothing like being together, in person. Stockton's welcome home looked a lot different than we anticipated when he left.  Covid restrictions kept us from going inside the airport, we all wore masks and we didn't invite extended family.  But it didn't take the joy out of the moment we finally got to be with him!  It's a mom's (and a girlfriend's) dream come true. ♥️ We didn't get the best pictures because we were more concerned with video.  And, Mason was on picture duty.  He is still learning about angles and capturing that perfect moment! The day started with this middle of the night picture and message... The journey begins.  About to board the plane for a 10 hour flight to Atlanta. His already later-in-the-evening flight was delayed by...
