Hey Everyone,
How are we all today? It's a nice 80 degrees here in Missoula Montana, with a great chance of Missionary work. haha! I'm doing pretty good. And there is really no reason to fret about me everything is great.
So I've heard there are several people a little worried about me since the last few weeks of emails have been a little short. Not to worry, I'm not trunky, yet. It just has been a pretty busy last few weeks and we have had some pretty full Preparation days, which takes away time from my emails. In fact, we are going disc golfing in about 30 mins, so I don't have a lot more time today either. But I am going to provide a good email today.
So to start it all off.... Monday we had a great Prepartion day activity where we did a zone Minute to Win It game where we ran around and had a lot of fun. Between that and going to the Mall, because window shopping is the best, the day was pretty full.
Tuesday, we had an interesting day. We had Zone Conference in Frenchtown a smaller town just outside of Missoula. We pulled up around 8 am to set up because Elder Jensen was doing a musical number. This zone conference was a little different. President had to come in late because he had some buisness to take care of. We heard some great messages on using the Atonement and becomming united as a mission. We also had some fun playing Montana Billings Mission Family Feud.
After this zone conference, we had dinner at Mckenzie River Pizza Co. and Elder Barlow paid for us all. That was so nice of him. I'm so happy to have great friends that serve and allow others to serve them. We also "adopted" Elder Eveleth for the next 2 weeks as his companion needed to go home. We miss that Missionary, but are excited to work with Elder Eveleth again.
Wednesday was the 24th of July BBQ for the 1st ward. That was a lot of Fun, and we had an investigator come, Andrea. That was awesome.
Thursday and Friday we went on exchanges with the Missoula 5th ward elders. Elder Christensen came with me, and Elder Jensen went with Elder Barlow. That was a lot of fun. Elder Christensen and I did a lot of finding with a bit of success. We even ran into a Luthern Pastor who said that he might invite us to come play D&D with him. That was interesting, for sure. Elder Jensen and I, before the exchange started, found a new person from among our potentials. It was great to see the progress of the area once again. Now we just need to focus on getting people to church.
Friday we also spent like 6 hours helping the M4 missionaries with a move. It ended up taking like 6 hours, so our day was kind of shot after that, but it was a ton of fun.
Saturday was pretty normal. We met with most of our investigators, and seeing how they are progressing. So... That was good. There is a lot of potential in Missoula, if we go out and search for it.
Sunday turned into one long and hectic day. For the most part, it was normal, but with a Deep Clean Monday coming up tomorrow, we chose to help with the other apartment. That wasn't the greatest idea, I have to say, beause we ended up staying up to around 2 am to get it done, but now it looks all sparkly clean.
Well, Life in Missoula is great and I love being a missionary here. But my time is running short this week, so I'll have to say c'est la vie, and talk to you all next week.
Love,
Elder Sherwood
Pictures... Sorry, I have some, but don't have time to add them this week. I'll put them on next week's email. Love ya'll.
