Week 69: Hey y'all, a message from Elder Uchtdorf!!!

So this last week was awesome!!!

On Saturday Elder Uchtdorf came to our mission and him and his wife talked to all of us!! 

It was an awesome and very spiritual experience!! 

One of the messages that he shared with us that really stuck with me was: 

"God always promises a safe landing, but not always a calm flight." 

So life may get hard, things may seem like they are not very fair, but I know no matter how low you get or how hard things are they will always get easier and God's plan for you will always be good in the end. 

This week is also transfer week and I will be staying here in New Portage!! 

New Portage has been awesome!! The members in the branch have all been amazing!! 

We have a few people that have been progressing and we actually found out something cool this week, one of the families in the branch have an 11 year old son.  We all found out that he some how did not get baptized, and he wants to.  Because he is 11 we need to teach him all the lessons before he can be so we are very excited for that!!

Christmas packages for missionaries: 

Dear Missionary Parents/Others

We are fast approaching the Christmas season!  Because of the volume of packages we receive and the logistics associated with distributing them to the missionaries by Christmas, we need to ask for your cooperation in the following ways:

1. All packages MUST be received by FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2019

2. All packages must be sent to the Mission office:

                                Elder Brock McVey

We cannot be responsible for packages stolen when left at the doors of missionary apartments (this happens frequently during the holiday season).

3. Christmas packages will be distributed to the missionaries at Zone Conferences, the week of December 9th.

4. Please address your package clearly so that we can easily identify the recipient.
Please identify all CHRISTMAS packages in some unique way.  This could be a Christmas sticker, a red or green felt morker with "Merry Christmas" or holly or something.  I just need to be able to sort the Christmas gifts from packages that may be needed before Christmas

Week 68: Hey y'all

So this last week was good!

We have done a lot of service! 😂😂

We helped out at a couple food pantrys, raked lots of leaves and helped people move. 

We helped a member clean out her basement and she had 2 sofas that need to go out but the first one was extremely difficult to carry out. The second one was heavier, bigger and solid wood so instead of trying to carry it out we tore it apart which was really fun haha.

We originally had interviews scheduled for last week but President was sick so we will have them tomorrow instead. 

We also had to deep clean our apartment this week so that was fun and took up our day.
