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!!

Were Half way there! OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH I love sayin Prayers!

October 20, 2020 - Home MTC Week 3  Y'all like my remix? (practicing my Texan)        How are you guys doing! This week has been a huge adventure, so much has been going on, and yet as I'm writing this I am struggling to remember everything I want to write. Let's get into it!        As far as German goes the language is coming along well! yesterday we started teaching Daniel(TRC) and as we were teaching him I was impressed by how much I was able to understand, every time a lesson comes I can get pretty stressed right beforehand, I'm sure this is going to change as I teach more lessons, but it didn't change the fact that I was freaked out at teaching a new person. It has impressed me more and more about how much I have been able to feel the spirit these past 3 weeks. I've told a couple people this already but at the beginning of online MTC, I wasn't sure that it would work out. I couldn't imagine a situation where the spirit could be felt over a Zoom call

That's right, I'll be flyin out from Utah for two years as of next Tuesday! I am hopeful that I will be heading for Germany soon, but until then, I am happy to serve the lord wherever I am needed! The Best District!(Lehi for life!)(Do you guys also think they should make a new district movie?)     There was a lot that happened this week, one of the greatest things that happened was that I was able to hang out with My good friends the Blodgetts and the Greenes up the canyon! I have always loved Utah's Mountains and I think that is one of the things I am going to miss but I was happy to be able to have an awesome time roasting and cooking Woofem's by the fire.(That's right Auto Correct, I meant Woofem's)(If your not sure what a Woofem is your missing out one some pretty good joy.)(Send
