Where Oh Where Has the Email Gone?

Hi I am emailing on Tuesday because we went to the temple today!

We went down to Rexburg early this morning, and went to the temple. After that we did a quick shop and then we went to lunch, and now we are up here in St Anthony Emailing, after that we are going to wash the car then have our last interview with President Nelson (President Hurley gets here in two days) then we are going back up to Ashton, and who knows what we will do!

Anyway this week. This week has been awesome! We went to west on Friday and Saturday, and while we were up there, we were given a ton of pizza. So much that we dumped a few on some people we were teaching and then dumped some on another set of Elders, and then ate some ourselves. It was kinda bizarre! Anyway, the other days were cool too!

On Tuesday we went to Zone Conference! That was awesome! It was the last one for a lot on missionaries I know so that's sad, oh well. We learned about teaching in interesting ways, and about making sure that we are having fun in our work. Also President gave his departing testimony :( it was super awesome. I am going to have to go over my notes and write down exactly what I can remember him saying. 

On Sunday some people we have been teaching and trying to get to church for the last several weeks CAME! woo! It was an awesome Sacrament meeting to come to also! The ward had a returning missionary give his talk, and he was an amazing speaker about all sorts of cool experiences on his mission. it was super powerful and A great first church meeting to come to.

Anyway I have to run!

I left some new pictures and I think that's all left.

Hi All, 

 I didn't have a lot of time this week oops.

Anyway cut to the chase. I learned how to make ties a while ago, and have recently gotten aLot better at it. So Question for all, if you find fabric that you think would make a cool tie design, can you send some to me>? 

Rose: Talking to Dad and Grandmas on Sunday

Thorn: not much

this was a really great week. We went to West Yellowstone on Sunday, so that we could meet a ton of people. But, it was Stake Conference. so we were watching a webcast from Ashton. and half way through, it cut out. And I considered going and asking if I could help, but by then someone came back and said there was no saving it. so Stake Conference ended an Hour early.

This upcoming Tuesday we have ZONE CONFERENCE! THE LAST ONE WITH OUR MISSION PRESIDENT! AGG

That's all I got.

What about Pointed Emails

Hi Everyone, it's another Email! What a surprise!

This week was awesome! Definitely high points were, Today we visited mesa falls, Sunday we gave talks, and on other days we did other stuff.

I have a lot of pictures from Mesa Falls, It was really pretty when we went this morning. I just wish we had been able to spend more time there. oh well.

My talk I gave was about Missionary Work! Super Convenient! I recorded it and I guess will send it to you, but be aware, I wrote it in the time that Elder VanOrman was speaking before me. Oops I still put off talks til the last moment and that isn't good.

Anyway, if you would rather skip the 'figuring out what to talk about while talking' then I am actually going to write about it now because I think it's really important for everyone to know.

I spoke about how easy it is to share the gospel, in our daily lives. I specifically talked about how in Idaho missionary work is all about the members and without them nothing happens. Anyway, I mentioned how Aaron started teaching simply when he needed to teach king Lamoni, and how we need to be simple and caring in our invitations. We shouldn't walk up to random people and invite them to meet with the missionaries. 

That doesn't work (in Idaho) But, we can still invite our friends to church activities and family activities because that is where the spirit is present, and the spirit is how people know this gospel is true. That's why missionaries push the Book of Mormon so much is because when you read it the spirit is present and as you recognize that then you know it's true.

Anyway,

Rose: best crepes I have ever eaten. they had strawberries and Nutella and happiness inside of them.

Thorn: A family we are teaching still hasn't come to church. :(

if you find this either you are cool or something helped you...

NOT NECESSARY EMAIL -- I could be doing this in my spare time.

Hi

Transfer calls were this Sunday. They really snuck up on me this Transfer. The last six weeks have gone by in a real blur. Anyway. Elder VanOrman and I are staying in Ashton for another 6 weeks. And I am so excited for this next transfer. It's going to be a blast. 

I had the opportunity to go on Exchanges this Tuesday with our District Leader. That was an absolute blast we did so much stuff and met people that Elder VanOrman still hadn't met so that was funny to tell him what we did that day. We got to share a message with someone who had been meeting with missionaries a while ago, but had stopped. That was great. Also we had a really awesome dinner where Elder Cano (DL) met someone who was serving where his grandparents lived in Uruguay when they got baptized. So that was also odd.

On Wednesday We had District Council. I didn't make anything good this week, because I learned the morning of that we did not have a pan big enough for my brownies that I wanted to make :/ But after District Council we were able to help setup a blood drive, then a few hours later we were able to give blood! (What is a fast time to give blood? mine was 3.59) The rest of the day we ate a wonderful dinner and then lethargically wandered around Ashton until we passed out from blood loss. rip.

Friday as usual we went to West. Lots of people. Lots of wind. Fun.

Speaking of not fun, my trip into ACTUAL Yellowstone died. Elder VanOrman was going to be staying with another set of missionaries on Monday, so I could go. But the other set of Missionaries decided to take their P-Day on Tuesday to go to the Temple. So rip my trip.

That's all for now

rose: staying in Ashton for another transfer

thorn: rip yellowstone (for now)
