11/11/2019 Members are the best sometimes

I really appreciate all of the great members I have been able to work with. Obviously with dinners, but then also other things, like rides, supporting missionary work. This week was the second time on the mission where members, unprompted, have bought clothes for people we are teaching who are getting baptized. It's really awesome when they do things like that. 

But yeah, Michael is still on the schedule for this Saturday to be baptized. He is doing super well. We also had a lady come to church who hasn't been to church in probably 15 years. She got out of contact with the church when she moved here, then some missionaries found here, recorded her address wrong, and she fell out of missionaries because no one could find her. Then we ran into her a month or two back, and she finally came back. It's great how the Lord has provided a way for the the missionaries to find her. Even amongst documenting the wrong address. She really liked coming back to church too! 

Those were the two big highlights of the week! On a minor note I celebrated my one year mark in the field this past week. Can't believe I have been in the south for one whole year. Have a great week, everybody.

A couple weeks back we had a Zone P Day. Carved pumpkins, though one one else wanted theirs in the pic. Elder Critchfield and I carved a tiny one. Acts 2:38

He was dropped off at the MTC in Provo by his brother, his sister, and brother in law. on the way to the airport in MN on Tuesday Laters How can babies walk away from their parents this easily??? "OK you can go now" In N Out Burger before the MTC induction on Wednesday. EM's brother says there were other families at the restaurant that were going to be dropping off their missionaries leaving sister's apartment MTC parking garage drop off And about an hour later, EM sent his first email: I have arrived at the MTC alive. Paul, Hayley, and Austin did a good job dropping me off and keeping me company. Next week Thursday is my P day. That's when you can expect to receive an email from me next.

Week 2 of the MTC. It definitely went faster than the first week. This email is just going to be a splatter of experiences, descriptions, and stories probably. More about my companion: Elder Miller is from Arizona. He likes basketball, and played on a national team in high school, which is pretty rad. He's pretty goofy and can make everyone in the district laugh. He likes rap and country music the most, so we're kind of on the opposite when regards to the music spectrum.  MTC cafeteria food is a hit-miss. The breakfasts have gotten old really fast. It's the same "egg loaf" (scrambled eggs that's really more of a loaf than a scramble), bad ham, and oversalted hash browns every other day. The lunches and dinners range from great to bad. For the most part it's better than what I ate in college, but that's because I was paying for food and being super cheap, I ate sandwiches and rice. We sit together as a district for most meals. We're all pre
