What's
up fam!!!
- we
were chilling at Institute with an investigator. I walk out to get a drink and
the Stake President tells me he needs someone to go do visits. So I pulled a quick
one and went and did visits with President Repscher. It was pretty fun, he's a
boss. We had a good time.
-
had a dream I was transferred to Ohio... and I was companions with
@teambetaalpha... and we taught Urban Meyer... greatest dream ever.
-
did some mall proselyting... we ran into an investigator and started teaching
them... happened to be this went down right in front of Victoria Secret so that
was a new environment for a lesson that's for sure.
-
saw Elder Baird on Wednesday when the new missionaries were driving through. He
told me he wants me to be an assistant for the sole purpose of him being able
to torment me about being a Utah fan every day in the office. I'll shed a manly
tear when he and Sister Baird are no longer in the office.
-
made spaghetti for Elder Bennet and Elder McElvany. Wasn't the same without
Jared but I tried. Rapping Gold Digger solo as the sausage cooked just wasn't
as fun. We also finally killed the wasp that had been in our apartment for 24
hours so that was a big deal. The wasp is currently sleeping peacefully in the
groot shrine.
-
Mission requested we get flu shots and that kind of crap is about on the same
level of raptors and ticks on lists of things I hate so we are gonna make it a
party and do a zone flu shot party so I don't hate it as much. Probably go to
OG after and get some bread sticks... yeah
-
went and checked out the MSU football practice... They didn't have a 72 year
old defensive coordinator dancing to "don't stop til you get enough"
during stretch but it was still cool. Coach Pease = GOAT 👴🏻🐐
- I
have told Elder Hunter (Wisconsin fan) repeatedly the importance of the tie you
wear on game day and how it affects your team... he thought I was crazy... well
Badgers are 4-0 and he plans on wearing the tie the rest of the games.

-
Jace (WML) got engaged this week so Hunger Games salute to him as he gets ready
to leave the YSA.
-
tried a new contacting approach on campus. What we do is walk campus looking
for each letter in the alphabet (on like buildings and stuff) and ask students
where we can find the letter. We get some weird looks but we get weird looks
anyway so I don't care.
-
had a lesson with Jon... he's so solid. Stud RC.
-
Jasmine had us over for dinner and we had a lesson with her non member roommate
around the campfire, pretty sweet. We also had a #CrisisAverted, She nearly lit
herself on fire... typically when you pour gasoline to increase the fire you
don't stand down wind from it.
-
Eli is practically my sports center out here. He gives me the entire run down
on college football Saturday's during EQ. Perks of serving in a YSA is there
are CFB nerds like me.
-
went down to Belgrade for dinner with Bishop Smith. Super fun night. Stovall
was outside so we stopped by... he was typical Stovall, freakin hilarious. Went
and saw Gina and Kenny!!! Man I love it here so much. Belgrade is just...
home, I love it so much. I'm gonna be back up here a lot.
-
While in Belgrade I got a
prompting to go visit a former investigator that Elder Christensen and I taught
last year, our old pal Larry. The first lesson the dynamic duo of Elder Apple
Pie and Elder Whipped Cream ever taught was to Larry. If you don't remember
he's the one we held a surprise 75 birthday for with celestial brownies... and
he still remembers the brownies... he made a painful groaning noise and put it
has hand over his stomach when I brought them up... #AchievementUnlocked.
Really good seeing him, he wants us to come by and teach him some more.
Overall
a pretty eventful week. Had a little minor meltdown on Friday morning cause we
were walking campus in the rain and straight up NO ONE wanted to talk to us.
Gets a little frustrating. One of those "we have no food we have no jobs
our PETTS HEADS ARE FALLING OFF" moments, but then we went and saw Gina
and she gave me chocolate and pizza and that fixed it up for the most part.

Sunday
School lesson yesterday was another big highlight. Especially with it being on
@pettbryan's birthday, the lesson was "work ethic". Don't know
if there is a better example in my life of that than my dad. Something I'm
trying to learn out here. Gotta stay patient, diligent, humble, and respect the
process. Really grateful for the examples I have had in my life, grateful for
the mission and all it's teaching me. Have a lot I need to learn!
Mission,
life, whatever, you keep on workin. Goin back to the Michael Jackson hit I
mentioned earlier, you "don't stop till you get enough"... well I guess you can
never stop learning on a mission/life... you can never stop strengthening your
testimony... you can never get enough of the gospel. And if you don't stop till
you get enough... then I guess you never stop right???
So,
that's what I learned this week! Work hard like @pettbryan. Respect the
process. Always stay humble and kind. Family on 3.
Go
Utes & enjoy general conference this weekend! #GetUpItsGameday
