This week was another good week. The front half of the week went by super fast, but the second half of the week definitely went by a little bit slower.
10/30 Monday
So today we got permission to go to Mount Charleston so that we could get rocks to use for training at MLC (Mission Leaders Council). They're definitely rocks a lot closer than Mount Charleston in Nevada, but we wanted to go do some exploring. It was way sweet to see pine trees and be in the mountains once again. As we were up there we felt the fall breeze, where the sun is really warm but the wind is really cold. It was a lot of fun we went on a little hike and then headed and played some basketball.

10/31 Halloween
This year for Halloween, President want to do something different than having all missionaries just sit in our apartments from 6 to 9, so he scheduled with the Temple President for the whole mission to go to the temple. Elder Jensen and I drove 10 of the out of the valley missionaries to the temple. Elder Jensen and I helped in the baptistery the whole time. After we did a few names ourselves we helped with confirmations. It was pretty cool to be able to help out at the temple. The out of valley missionaries came in and are staying at the mission home tonight. We drove them to the temple in the "Man Van," so that is always a good time. I was changing lines on the freeway and traffic was a little crazy and I smoked a big piece of a blown tire. Luckily, it just made some noise and a little bump, so nothing was hurt!
11/1 Wednesday
Today Elder Jensen and I had the wonderful opportunity to rebuke the MLC... haha So, President has been really hurting lately with a bulged disc in his back. He is hardly sleeping at night. He has been beat. We are pretty frustrated with the zone leaders right now and so we had to invite them to step up. President didn't want to do it, because when he is tired he comes off mean haha. We weren't sure if we should be the ones to do it for obvious reasons and so we all agreed that Sister Walker should give them the “step it up speech!” She did a great job and Elder Jensen and I did a couple training's to help the missionaries feel the need to be better and take lead! It actually turned out quite well, but I definitely think the missionaries knew we were serious haha! We met with Marco tonight and had a discussion on the Plan of Salvation. It went well. We are having a hard time getting him to keep his commitments.
11/4 Saturday
Today I was on exchanges with Elder van Vleet. I have gone on exchanges with him a couple times before. He is a great missionary and I always have a super good time with him. We taught several people today and many of them are progressing well! It was a lot of fun to be in the south part of town again. I really enjoyed serving in the Painted Mountain and Coronado Wards. The missionary I was with eats some interesting things, so for dinner tonight we had fried spam and egg sandwiches.
11/5 Sunday
Tonight we had Zions Youth. We also met President’s son Corey and his family. They came up for the weekend. President’s son served in Latvia and he was a very successful missionary there, so we were able to pick his brain on how we can improve! The Heimarks came to Zions Youth and loved it.
This coming week is going to be an easier week, we just have a temple trip this week. The following week is transfer planning....😰🤕haha
Love,
Elder Call
