Yaa Teeh!
Monday we spent the day with Landon. He took us to Walmart in Winslow, we also got to watch him make a long board. Pretty cool. :) Then we had a really great lesson with Jimmy. The members play such a vital role there. We wouldn't have even been able to get close to where he is now without the members!Monday, November 24, 2014

Monday was a lot of fun. For P-day we went up to the church and threw a frisbee around. Then we had family home evening with a member family and one of our less actives. Then we had an appointment with some new investigators. Well when we got there, there wasn't another male in the house so we called and got there across the street neighbor to come with us. They are a great family. We got 3 new investigators!Monday, November 10, 2014

Yaa Teeh!
So this week has been really interesting. Let's just say I've had better weeks.
Monday.... I drove the car into the fence. Yep, what a way to start off the week lol. I still haven't heard if I am going to lose my driving privileges, it wouldn't surprise me if I did.
Tuesday we got to go out and give some service to an inactive member. This guy had the biggest tomato plants I've ever seen. They were well over 8 feet long!!! It's increadable!!!
Wednesday I got called upon to go play at a funeral. It's nice to be able to be trusted to go and play the piano right on the spot. I'm extremely fortunate to have the talents that I have! Then later in the day we were walking down the street and a lady pulled over and asked us if we gave service. We said that we did. Then she started talking about what she needed. She mentioned family history so we talked about coming up to the church and doing family history work with us some time. She loved the idea! Then she started talking about the last time she was in an LDS church building. She had definitely felt the spirit! She was so excited to come and do some family history work with us!
Thursday we had zone training. Then we got to go with a member down to Woodruff and watch "Joseph Smith: the Prophet of the Restoration". He absolutely loved it! Then we went with some other members to see a less active in Perkins Valley. Member are so great! They are a friend to the people that will be a long term friendship unlike the missionaries who will be leaving eventually.
Friday. Weekly planning took a long time... after we got done with weekly planning at 7 PM. We went walking around Holbrook trying to find some new people to teach. Well I started singing hymns in Cadence. (e.x. - left right left right.... but the pitch of the song was a hymn) Elder Jensen would try to guess the song. It was pretty fun.
Saturday we got to teach one of our less active's and his non member wife. She is super interested! We also got to teach one of our investigators who we haven't seen in about a month. We took some members with us and they were great! We even set a date with them for the 27th of December!
Sunday was a day full of ... you guessed it! Church. It's good to be able to really focus on church and the importance of it.
I love Holbrook and I love being a missionary! Hope you all have a good week! Until next time, Hagoonee'!

Yaa Teeh!
Monday I got all caught up on my letters then we got to go teach a couple of new investigators. They are native's. I love teaching the native people! They just have this spirit about them and they have been prophesied about a lot!
Tuesday we had a lot of cancelled appointments but we did get to teach Mark. I LOVE MARK!!! He is a non-member, Marine, and he just got married to a member. We are teaching him at the 1st counselor of the mission presidency's house. So we have really good member support. He and I have really bonded. He has given me a couple of para cord bracelets and now he's given me a challenge coin for the Marines! His lesson went really well. We got to teach another lesson with some members to a member that is coming back into church activity. I love it when the members can answer all the questions and we are there just to get the conversation started. :)
Wednesday we got to go on splits I got to go with a young man, Landon, from the Painted Desert ward. Fun guy. I also got a package that day with some interesting stuff in it that I had no idea what I was going to do with it all. Then I had a light bulb moment. Elder Jensen and I can decorate the sisters car. (Does this sound familiar to anyone? :D ) See pictures below. :)
Thursday we got started on being trained on family history. I got to do a little bit of indexing. That is a lot more fun that it looks! It just has this really neat spirit about it. Huh, imagine that... The Prophet's and Apostles have said that like a million time. Go figure. :D
Friday we got to go to seminary to learn and to get to know the kids a little bit better. Then we had interviews with President Batt! I respect that man so much! He told me I am doing an amazing job down here in Holbrook. I really love being in Holbrook. Then after the interviews we got to have President Batt come out and work with us for about an hour. Our appointment fell through as well as all our back ups. lol. That's mission life some time.
Saturday was crazy. President Hatch had asked all the full time missionaries to sing in the evening session of stake conference. The only problem is we are all so spread out so we couldn't practice until the day of... Oh and he wanted a missionary melody like the one in general conference. Well thankfully we have a sister missionary that can improvise really well on the piano. So we sang "I Hope They Call Me On a Mission", "Called to Serve", and "Bring the World His Truth". I was the chorister. The choir did super well!!!! I had also been asked by President Hatch to give a 3 minute talk in stake conference about the stake central message. That went really well to. I got several compliments the next few days.
Sunday we had a Stake Conference Broadcast from SLC. Elder Foster, Sister McConkie, Elder Christofferson, and President Uchtdorf spoke. It was absolutely increadable!
I love being a missionary and I am seeing so many miracles in my life as well as, and more so in other peoples lives. Until next time, Hagoonee'!

Yaa Teeh!
It's been a busy week down here in Holbrook. Monday we got to drive to Farmington.
Tuesday we had transfers. Said good bye to Elder Krebs and picked up Elder Jensen. Then we headed back down to Holbrook. Then we had a really good lesson with Pete that night. I love Pete! He is just a big ray of sunshine!!! :D
Wednesday we got to teach a lot of people. We also had mashed potato's for dinner....... I LOVE MASHED POTATO'S!!!!!!!!!!!! ya.... let's just say they were really good. New companions are always interesting because you have different experiences and teaching styles and everything. Not a bad thing, just different. But, I love Elder Jensen. He is from Bountiful UT. He's had a total of 5 area's in 3 different missions because of some health issues. He likes to play games. He's also the youngest in his family and he is a great companion! We are going to have a great transfer together!!!
Thursday was probably the spiritual District Meeting I've ever taught. I was training on the Atonement. Wow, what a powerful subject. Right when I told everyone what I was training on the spirit came in and it was just great. We read a lot of scriptures about the Atonement and then we watched a video that Grandma and Grandpa Lynn sent to me about the Atonement and missionary work with Elders Eyring and Holland talking. Really good district meeting, in my opinion. Later that day we got to work with some of the stake leaders and find ways we can better work with them. That is always so cool, to see how different stake presidents run their specific stake. Lots of learning.
Friday we had a really good weekly planning session. Then we got to go to the wedding of Mark and Theresa. Theresa is a member of a year or two and Mark is a non member. Oh, and he's a Marine. (Oh Ya!!!!! :D :D :D) He's come to church almost every week for the past 2 months we just can't get in with him. But we have an appointment with him this week so we are pretty excited!
Saturday we walked, and walked, and walked some more. I asked Elder Jensen the day before if he was ok to walk. He said he was so we walked a lot!!!! If you have google maps we walked from our apartment to the seminary building then over to navajo and up to mission lane and back with stops in between. Then after it was dark we got in our car and went out and tried some people. We got onto a street that we knew someone lived on but we weren't sure where. So we were driving slowly down the street to see if we could find the house number. We ended up finding it on so we parked and got out. I pulled out my flashlight so I could show Elder Jensen the house number and then to see where we were walking. Well before we get to the door it opens and this man has a very aggressive look on his face. I quickly identify as the missionaries while shining the light on my tag. He then, again very aggressively, tells us to not to sneak up on peoples house while it's dark. He was emphasizing his point with his hands. His right hand was kept behind his back for most of the conversation. But he was moving around a little bit so I was able to see it for about a second or two. Yep, he was holding a gun. Well, that was a first. IDK, maybe he had been watching a horror movie and was a little on edge. :)
Sunday we were at church for a long time! Then we had dinner, did our studies and met with President Hatch. Good stuff. :)
Well thanks for all you do! Hope you all have a great week! Until next time, Hagoonee'!

Yaa Teeh!
Monday we had dinner with some members and they had this cranapple juice to go along with it. Well I had a glass and then two and three. Right after I started my third glass I thought to myself, "Wow, this is really sweet." sip "REALLY sweet!" sip "Oh..... It's probably from a concentrate with A LOT of sugar. It's been a long time since I have had that much sugar. It actually made my stomach hurt a little. :)
Tuesday we taught four lessons, all of which had members there. That is such a big help when members can come out with us! After our studies we went out for about an hour to try and contact some people. We talked to a few but nothing to big. When we got home and had lunch I realized that I hadn't been wearing my name tag on. (Face + Palm) Oh, man. I laughed about that one. Then after lunch we went out again to go try some people. We were walking next to the train tracks and a train was coming. Elder Krebs decided to wave at it. HONK HONK!!! The train totally honked at him! It was so awesome!!!
Wednesday we went on exchanges. On our way back on the free way we say the after math of a rollover. So we turned around and see what we could do to help. There were already people there helping but the authorities hadn't shown up yet. We really didn't do much but it did make me think about what I want to do for a career. It made me explore some other options that I hadn't thought of before. Then we went out to McLaws road and were trying to contact some people. Well, we go to this one house and start walking towards the door. A girls steps outside, closes the door and starts walking towards us... all with her head down. I said "Hi." That's all I said. Well, ...... At least I know that my ears still work. :) She screamed and ran back in the house. After a minute or so she came back outside laughing. Fun stuff.
Thursday. So we've had a mouse problem in our house for about a week up to this point. We had the regular mouse traps and the sticky mouse traps. Well I get done with breakfast and go to wash my dishes when I look down where one of the sticky traps are. Instead of seeing a grey colored mouse I see a tan... 18 inch.... bull snake! Scared me half to death!!!! So I took a couple of pictures and then we got rid of it. We actually ended up catching two mice as well and since then we haven't had a mouse problem since. We also had two really great lessons. One with Marvin out in Woodruff and the other with Jimmy. They are both great! Marvin is close to getting baptized and Jimmy is getting reactivated. Lots of miracles are happening here! Good things are happening!
Friday we got to teach an Yolanda, an investigator that we haven't been able to catch in about 2 weeks. She is doing good. We taught her the Restoration but she has some concerns with the Book of Mormon and Prophets in general. She really is a great person though and we love teaching her! That night we got a call from President Batt. He asked me if I would be willing to train a missionary named Elder Jensen in Holbrook. He also talked to Elder Krebs and asked if he would be willing to be in a tri-panionship, train, and white wash! Elder Krebs is such a stud! I love that missionary! I'm going to miss serving with him! But he will do wonders in his new area!
Saturday we started teaching this family. The wife really just wants to bash with us but the husband really wants to learn. The problem is that they both talk at the same time and we really don't get to talk a lot. It should be interesting. Then we got all of transfer news that night.
Sunday we got asked to teach two different classes right as they were starting. They both went really well. Then after church we went around and took pictures with everyone that Elder Krebs wanted to see.
We've had a great week here in Holbrook! I'm excited to get Elder Jensen! Great things, miracles, are happening here in Holbrook! Until next time, hagoonee'!

Yaa Teeh!
It's been a really great week for us here in Holbrook.
Monday we were doing our Preparation day shopping and we had a member from Joseph City pay for our groceries. The interesting part is that she lived in West Jordan for a time and attended the Callie Building. Her name is Sister Palmer. Small world.:)
On Tuesday we went to teach one of our Less Actives who lives with an excommunticated member. Well we go in and the excommunicated member is drunk.... like straight up wasted! Well he kept telling us the same story about his friend being sent back to jail. Ya in the 30 minutes we were there we heard that story at least 20 times... I will say though, since I've been in Holbrook I have been able to recognize drunks a lot easier. (I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. lol :) )
Wednesday... ZONE CONFERENCE!!!!! We got to get up at 4 am to drive to Tuba City but it was worth it! Elder Krebs and I tied for first in our vehicle inspection. We got a perfect score! Then my planner was recognized as one of the best 3 out of the close to 40 missionaries there. But the best part was we got to go see "Meet the Mormons"! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thursday I was on exchanges in Holbrook with a missionary from Indian Wells. We had a good day and were able to talk to a lot of people. I got to know him. Interesting story. He's a convert. He had an apostle stay in his home before he was a member of the church. That's crazy!
Friday we did a lot of work/ planning in our apartment. Then we went for a walk and we got to talk to a Free Mason. Ya, that was interesting. We also had Elder Krebs last companion stop by and pay us a visit. That was fun.
Saturday we started walking but as we were passing a farmers market we got called over and talked to people there for a little over an hour. We got a lot of free produce and I was able to meet a 3 day returned missionary from the Sacramento Mission. Yep, he knew Elder Durtschi! Again, it's a small world. :) We walk most of the day and we were able to talk to a lot of people.
Sunday I was given to para-cord bracelets by a potential investigator. They are MARPAT-ish colors but they look was sweet! Church was good. We had a member family bring some non-member to church. We then got called last LAST second to teach that class. So we didn't even know what we were teaching when we walked in. But it went really well. Read a little out of the manual then asked some open ended questions. It went really well. We are planning on teaching them tonight. :)
It's been a really good week for us down here in Holbrook. :) Hope you all have a great week where ever you are! Until next time, Hagoonee'!
