Stories
- so, we got transfer news! i'm staying in Grand Mesa for a 5th transfer, which is lit. what isn't lit is that we're losing our boys:(((( the pear park Elders, Hanks and Shumway. the man who taught me to fish. so sad. here's how some of our events went diwn this week, courtesy of my journal:
went and saw pear park to burn some pants for my 18 month mark, and we vibed. love those boyos. gonna miss em 
we went to sonic.... for the last time with daddy hanks n shumway..... i'm gonna love and miss them so dang much. frikin rip.
saw them for the last time:( gave them a bike pedal we signed. yeet
- did service for our girl v! met her son and her neighbor, both who were really frikin cool. they asked some good mission life questions, we were able to share a little bit. then we weeded a bunch haha.
- seminary! went hard. played a game of telephone with the kiddos, testified of God's love for us by restoring the gosepl after so much truth was lost. it was very fun especially since we used scripture phrases, so "thy walls are continually before me" became "call the soap man" or sum like that. good times!
- saw the evans, they're lit. helped with a referral they wanted to send, and gave their daughter a lot of mission advice. we all were joking and laughing around it was a great time
- owens called for his buddy adam's mission call opening, and got super grunky cuz reasons. so we did abs then ate fruity dino bites to help be ungrunky. this also had to happen later on in the week cuz... other reasons....
- man, had a tiring day. we were in collbran for a solid 8 hours working. took like 20 mins for dinner. other than that it was visiting peeps and driving. shoulda said more to some people than i did, but oh well. gave them a good impression, hopefully. the best part is the views tho. can't get nothing better when you talk about mountains. and in the fall??? i'm a lucky man
most eventful was this dude named "b" for now, he's cool. plays guitar in his church band, apparently they do hard rock type stuff. also talked about cars, and he showed us his kittens and puppies. they got a lot of animals lol
- we had dinner with the myers, that was fun as usual! i decided to spill a hamburger bun of mayonaise directly on my crotch. hm. hmmmnneehhegshakdhajdksj
- we locked outselves out of the building. hehehehehehe
had the fruitvale elders come save our butts. they unlocked the door and sped off. we then, realized, that we had not just locked our keys in the building, but in the now locked library as well. after much trial and tribulation, we could not use the broken coat hanger or rock to try and turn the deadbolt through the top half of the door. so what did we do? we called brother buddecke 
he shows up with his lockpicking set, goes at it for a bit, but eventually gets one of the handles open by messing around with some screwdrivers. it was epic. as we left the church building tho, we happened to hear a lot of loud sirens heading our direction. after a very brief moment of panic an our member saying oh crap to freak us out, we realized that they were not for us. also cuz he saw how spooked we were and started laughing hysterically. good times.
- went fishin. caught some good stuff!! a lot of fun brookies, then a quite big one at the end! twas sick. owens made a fishing pole. out of a stick. a frikin stick. it was sickkkkkkkkkk he even caught some on it haha twas lit
- on the way up to the mesa, we hit what's technically "empty" on our tank. 0 miles left. and still had to drive like 20 miles down to a gas station in mesa, 30 mins away from any other gas station, where the gas is like 5.39 or somethin like that. everywhere else it's 3.77, so that's a big jump lol. we made it tho, just coasted down the mountain. didn't even have to press on the gas once coming down, it's so downhill. payed like 10 bucks worth which got us to our district activity
- the activity was fun! ate food, played card games, and chair soccer! i was doing real good at chair soccer, then owens got me out. frikin hecc. but be proud of me hazzy, be proud! elder reyes YOINKED his ankle tho, which is big sad. we went and got him ice, crutches, and an ace bandage wrap. poor guy
Teaching Updates
- so, our boi colty boi got his bike lost last week, so we tried to fix the two random bikes we had in out, there are many things wrong with both of them lol. also they're apparently girl bikes? who knew. either way, we gave him the now partially dismantled bikes, hopefully he can use them!!
- saw A, love her. she wants to meet and so does her roommate! we got her number now
- met with miner, he's a stud as always. read 1st nephi 4, about laban gettting yoinked. he understands it so well. wish he understood more of the spirit. and that he did't have weed plants as tall as i am.
- went and saw sister ingram, found her in the smoking shack with chucko. had a good lesson with them, in which she didn't feel as tho she was vibing with the church. we talked about it, and chucko actually understood quite a bit! we asked if we could teach him about the Book of Mormon and our church, and he was like ye. lessgoooooooooo. also gave him and Tom a BoM
- sallie n co. ryd had his friend ben over, he self taught himself piano and he's actually pretty good! invited them all to read alma 32. they're so loving. sal is a rough mom tho lol lemme tell ya. love ken tho, i feel like he's marginally more elect. all of these are fake names. or shortened. iykyk
- went to Dabeccs, and she wasn't feeling good so we talked to her son a bunch. he's frikin awesome. we talked about music n cars n stuff and it was just a great time. he seems to like us now! lessgoooooo
- after church, we went and saw the Smiths and started teaching Bro Smith again! caught them as they were walking out to do laundry, so it was very inspired:)) they'll have our number in their phones now, so they know it's us and can respond hahaha. even tho... every message we've said "it's the missionaries".....?? idk. interesting people, some brains just aren't wrapped around the concept of phones.
Spotlight
- bro, my boi josh nufer is in the mission now and getting trained by the one and only elder Bingham:)) shoutout to both of ya!!
- shoutout to daddy hanks and shummy boi. love you bois, thanks for being my best friends the past transfer. Godspeed my fine eldas, Godspeed
- hm. my daddyo. love that guy. he's a legend
My challenges for you
- when it comes down to it, we get two choices. good or bad. the cool think is tho, that we get to choose. my challenge for you today is to choose the right. that song we all learned since primary. 2 Nephi 2:26&27 define this pretty well. if you choose anything other than that, as those verses say, you will be chained. literally. i've felt it! i've felt the chains you can't see dragging me down, weighing on my heart. restricting me from feeling the Spirit of God!
choose Good. choose Joy. choose Christ.
and my second challenge is for Elder Mclain Hassard only. and it is to stop being so cute and to give me a big smooch. that is all i ask of u 
u can only reallly do one of those tho. u cutie
Every minute, every moment...there was Jesus.
