P-Day 101 Part 2

Nyob zoo!

Wow, what a week! There was so much going on. I don't even know where

to start...

I guess I'll start with last Pday. So we went on a hike to Mt. Baldy

in Eagle River. It was a really pretty hike. It was raining but that

didn't stop us. We just sang hymns all the way up and it was a blast.

When we were near the top it had stopped raining and we got over the

fog. There were breaks in the fog and we could see the trees and the

fields down below us. It was amazing.

We again had done a lot of service. We helped people move, helped at

the botanical garden and fed the homeless shelter. We also gutted

fish!

Now to the pinnacle event of the week: President Nelson! President

Nelson of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles and President Gong of the

Seventy came up to Alaska and decided to see us missionaries! They had

some trainings to do here and decided to make time for us. It was

amazing. I got to shake both their hands and the spirit was

incredible. They are truly servants of the Lord. When they taught,

they were both incredibly funny and very profound at the same time. It

was amazing!

The subject line comes from President Nelson this week. He was talking

to us about callings and releases. He then turned to President

Robinson (who comes home with me) and said: "Enjoy your release, some

of us have to die to be released." Everybody was laughing and he just

chuckled up on the pulpit.

We had a special Stake Conference and Bishop Davies of the Presiding

Bishopric was president. He talked about the Book of Mormon and

temples. It was amazing! We had 3 investigators there and they felt

the spirit and learned a lot.

We got an investigator on date this week. He has been coming to church

for months but we finally asked him if he was willing to join if we

taught him and he said yes. We set a date for the 24th. He has been

coming for months and listening as we have been teaching some other

investigators. So he will be ready quick. We started officially

teaching him this week and he took it well. Since he is 17, we will

have to get permission from the parents, so I will be trying to teach

them of course too!! They are already Christian so we just have to

help them gain testimonies of the Book of Mormon.

We are going on an 11 mile hike and have no time. Sorry I couldn't

reply back to everyone. I think I got everyone covered with this

email.

Church is true everybody! Have a good week!
