Oh Boy, Pt. 2

 November 16, 2020 - Week 1 - Hurst, TX

Meine gute!

Meine woke war sehr krass!(es tut mir leid, meine grammatik ist nicht gut.)  

Lots of things have been going on this week, so let's get tacklin 

1. I have my first Comp and trainer! Elder Stoker is real cool dude, he's from Utah as well, and for the lehi district, he loves to go hunting, but above all he loves to go fishing. It's been a sort of discouraging week cause we have had 4 planned lessons and all of them were canceled. Other than that I can't wait to teach my first lesson on the restoration.

2. I was assigned to my first area which is the Hurst 1st area. It's a biking area and I'm lovin it(hehe)(McDonalds)(es tut mir leid I didn't mean to do that.) The apartments were staying in are super cool, on the first day I was here we ran into a guy named Paul who lived across from us and had a long discussion and tried to bash with us on what we believed(so...that happened😅) Then two days later we had an impromptu discussion with Jay(also lived across the street) he had some legitimate questions and truly has an awesome understanding of the Bible, were hoping to start teaching him soon. The members are really awesome from what I understand we are really lucky with how many member meals we have each week. Other zones keep talking about their struggles with that but we already have 3 member lessons line up for next week(that means we get food.

3. My companion is super awesome! His name is Elder Stoker, he's from Utah as well! Were getting along awesome and I am so grateful we got paired up, he has been super patient  as I memorize the lessons and I am super grateful!


Elder Lebaron, Elder Stoker, me.

4. This week although has been discouraging at points has helped me realize how much of Gods plan is not my plan and sometimes that is the hardest thing, it's hard to have so much faith in something that we cannot see coming but know that Gods plan is better than ours and when we follow Gods plan I know that we will be blessed in the end, remember Journey before Destination!

 

Alle  Füsse Sind Gleich!!

4 down 2 to go

 October 27, 2020 - Home MTC Week 4 Hallo Alles!       Yep you read right! I only have two more weeks of MTC! some of you know elder Larson but his quote stuck out to me the most this past week. "The weeks feel like days and the days feel like weeks."       There has been a lot of news going around about Germany and the Berlin mission right now but I think the most trustworthy part of it all is I have received information that my Visa is being processed! So good stuff is happening! I am supposed to get my flight plans to Texas here pretty soon , so I'll let y'all know!(See what I did there?) Fun fact: most of us actually study in the same room with the same lighting and same computer quality and everything!        1.Quotes:    These last couple weeks the sisters in our district have made it quite clear that we as a district need to watch what we say, because what we say may just be recorded down for posterit...

OK, Here We Go!

October 6, 2020 - Home MTC Week 1  So much to say!    This week has been a rollercoaster Learning, Emotions, the spirit, the language, and like 10 other things, but for the sake of sparing you about 10 hours of reading my innermost thoughts, I figured it would be best to give you the rundown. ( I apologize, This might be a little longer than you or I expected:D) My Companions    1. A little bit about my day and the people I hang out with. some of you may know I have been taking Home MTC but I am taking it from the Preston, England MTC. This means that all of my teachers are from England and that all of my classes are a little weird. I start my day at a pretty regular time for a missionary, getting up at 5:30 so I have enough time to be ready for class at 7. The biggest difference is I only have an hour break and then I start my(Would technically be called) Evening classes, or at least that's what it is for my teachers.    Speaking of my teachers, They ...

Truckloads of Cap'n Crunch!

 October 13, 2020 - Home MTC Week 2 Was ein Woche! Have you ever felt like a week went by but felt more like a dream? I'll get to that later.      This week officially marks the 2nd week of my MTC experience, but it is entering the third week of learning, which means that by the end of this week I'll have gotten halfway through MTC! (I know, none of that made sense to me either.)(I'm not jumping ahead, I promise I'll wait to make my "Halfway through MTC Announcement on the next one.)  My typical HMTC breakfast(Danke Sister Blodgett!)(apparently the MTC goes through truckloads of this stuff)(and it makes sense!)     There were a lot of things that happened this week, We recently started teaching lessons Auf Deutsch! I could not be happier to be learning such an awesome language, although it has been frustrating trying to communicate when you feel so restricted God has always found a way to get across what you want to, for the longest...
