Family Reunion / Lumberjacks

First off let me start by saying being away from my awesome dad on Fathers day was the worst! 

This week Elder Hatchs trainer came on exchanges with us. (in missionary terms it makes him my grandpa) Elder Slade is his name. so for one whole day we had a grandpa, father and son out teachin the word! 

Elder Slade was a very very good example of how a missionary should be. He asked the most amazing questions, I hope to be like that by the end of my mission. 

We set some Goals together and we worked our tails off to get them, we fell short but we were okay with it because we knew we did all we could. Goals are something to help us stretch, we dont need to feel bad and get on ourselves if we dont reach them. Thats what Elder Slade helped me out with and taught me. He goes home to Arizona in 7 weeks or so. I'll miss him.

We did some service at a families house two days in a row this week, we put up some fences and took out a lot of trees so we can make fences. It started to pour rain on the second day and the rain was like slush! IT WAS SO COLD. it was a blast though, we had other missionaries there and we were sliding around in the mud trying to get work done! We kinda felt like all the kids at the end of Holes when it finally started to rain. 

The bad part about not caring if youre cold and wet is the next day youre WRECKED. jeesh we were pretty sick afterwards! oh well, we feel better now :)

As I was in the Doctors office my phone dropped and I lost all my pictures! good thing some missionaries took some pictures.

this past week Ive prayed a lot, and lots of things were answered and Im grateful for it. Its not a coincidence that I came across Matthew 21:22 this week either. "and all things, whatsoever ,ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

I love this scripture and I hope yall will continue to pray for the things you desire for. 

I miss yall! 

love 

Elder Legas
