Close Only Counts In Horseshoes And Hand Grenades

What it do, crew. How y'all been? Oh, me I been pretty alright, I would say. General Conference, ya let's talk about it.

First off, this week was pretty solid. Put 2 friends on date for baptism. One name is Val. She's pretty chill, not sure if she'll make it there, but we will try. Regina is back on date. Super sick. She has pushed through so much to get baptized. She will be getting baptized next Sunday, if things all work out.

Got to go to Omaha. We had a trainer/trainee meeting this week. Was pretty chill, just hung out with a bunch of other missionaries. Mainly for my new guy, but still got some stuff out of it. Unfortunately, our area 70 cooked us. We basically just got told you can never go to the temple. In the past we would go for trainer/trainee and missionary leadership conference. None of that. I can't even go with recent converts any more. Only missionaries within an hour of the temple can go with their recent converts. I don't know, maybe they are inspired in some way, but who knows.

I MISS THE TEMPLE

Anyway, general conference was so good. The first 2 sessions I was running around trying to help my friends watch it. I missed a bunch, but now I get to study those jawns. Also, come on Rapid City? 
So close, yet so far.
Should've been Sioux Falls.
Maybe someday.
Favorite talk, prolly Christopherson.
We need to be worshipping all the time.

Y'all have been spiritually fed by conference, so no spiritual thought this week. 
Re-listen to conference, when you can. 

Almost forgot the flicks
Ya they do

Welcome back to another epic week in the NOM. This week starts with throwing a couch off a balcony. Let's get into it.  We finished closing the old apartment, so we had to get everything out of it.... Including the couch. We are on the second floor, and I was not about to carry that downstairs so.... We just threw it off the balcony. There's a vid in my Google photos so check it out.  Had a fire exchange with Martino who is a brand new greenie. Was pretty sick and had a lot of fun.  Got 12 people to church this week. We were told by our Mission President to invite everyone we see to church, so I guess it works. He might know a thing or two maybe. Also got the FLDS broda there. So lit. My momma had her birthday so give her a little late happy birthday to her. Also did something that would make her proud prolly. We ate some Ethiopian food and guess what, it was mainly eggs.  For those of you who don't know, I absolutely hate eggs. But I thuged it out and it was pretty ...

Maybe The Weirdest Week Of My Life.....But Also Two Baptisms?????

Wow I don't even know how to start this. We left Tuesday morning for Omaha. We meet a very enthusiastic convert. I don't even know how to describe her but just wow she was kinda a lot. But she was super awesome and helped us get to the airport. Then we met a very anti lady who I'm not sure was fully there. She was calling Joseph Smith the devil and that were all going to Hell. That was fun.  Flight went great and the sunset in Omaha as we were landing was incredible. Had the first good meal since I had my last meal cooked by my mom. MTC food sucks. Then we found out where we're going to be serving and I'm serving in the Falls Park area in Sioux Falls. Like 30 people came up to me and told me how lucky I am. Apparently it's the best area in the mission. Pretty crazy I guess.  We had a 3 hour drive to get out here. Then I met my trainer Elder Ruddell. He's pretty sick. Very good trainer. Went straight to finding and that was crazy. Still getting used to that. ...
