Bend zone best zone

 Yo what up gang, bend is so hype fr like its literally a place people go for vacation. Theres lakes and camping spots and even places to fo skiing and stuff so its a good time.

We opened up an area so we had to start from scratch with freind and all that. I'm in the high desert area which was a sister area before. There hasn't been Elders here in a year and a half so the ward was so excited to get us and I'm so excited for this area it's gonna be such a good transfer.

There's a couple apartments which is dope but it's mostly like townhomes so it's like younger couples and I feel like they are way more prepared than old people. Old people just get mad and try to bash. 

But yeah it was a fire week we were pretty much knocking most of the time and I love knocking so I love it we found some cool friends but also some fake people it's all chill though. 

We got this dude Chris who's been being taught for four years now but I told him he's gonna take a dive into the water in the next couple months so hopefully he will haha.

Me and elder densley are having too much fun its literally a frat. Hopefully we'll have more lessons this week we didn't have too many last week cause we had no friends but I think we're gonna get there soon.

The members are Dawgs in this area there's this one family with a huge house and we just played pickle ball and basketball and all sorts of stuff even a golf simulator so that's was hype. They also have like 5 Porsches and a Ferrari and some other cool things but yeah I'm having a good time out here and I think the work is gonna be good as well.

Anyways the book of mormon is so good and j smitty is a cool guy and i love the church so yeah hehe.

Love yall have a good week

Transfers

 Yall will never belive who im living with this transfer....elder densley when we got transfer boards and I saw that I was so happy and I'm going to bend which is like the best zone in the mission because of the members and it's basically just a frat but I'm excited to see how the work is over there and I got a new comp his names elder gates I'll meet him tomorrow so that's gonna be hype.

This week was good it was elder Hopkins last week we have to drop him off in Newberg today at 4 that's gonna be sad to say goodbye. 

We found some cool friends this week, like 3 weeks ago this dude came up to us in Burger king and long story short he got away without us getting his name or number and then this week on Thursday we ran into him again and we got all his info and he was at church this week and really liked it so him and his kids are gonna get dunked this transfer so that's hype fr.

We had exchanges with the assistants on Friday so I was in Newberg which is were like the mission office and everything is and pretty much every other door you knock on is a basher so that was a fun day haha.

I didn't talk too much about conference last week but I think it was a really good one, hollands talk was so good as usual, but the abortion one was really good and someone needed to do it so that was good. Sister runias was fire probably my favorite, I could go on but those are the highlights I guess you could say and the prophets of course.

Anyways we got a busy day so that's all I got hope you all have a great week and have a fire Easter.

Love E Nelson

General Con

 It was such a weird week and it went by so fast but it's all good. So on Tuesday we had MLC and that was interesting, I got to see elder densley so that was awesome we had a good hug and maybe a little kiss haha.

At mlc we talked a lot about pride and gossip which are definitely things our zone needs to work on, we also talked a lot about comp unity which is definitely important but I think we spent way to much time on that and then we just skipped over talking about urgency and laziness which I think is what we should've been talking about, not to mention the prophet just told us that we need to be urgent but yeah.

GC was good it started off with a banger from holland he actually had my eyes welling up a little bit but I was able to hold off the tear, there were some good talks but I think the main thing I got from it was to be prepared, they talked about the 10 virgins a couple times and they built a statue so I think we need to be prepared for the second coming but I also feel like I've been hearing that my whole life so idk.

I've been grinding the Bible this week I read it like 2 hours a day and it's sooooo good I don't know why I've never read it before but it's so good and I can't out it down sometimes but I've noticed that when I study instead of goof off or scroll Facebook we see much more blessings and miracles so I'm gonna try to finish the Bible by the end of June.

We have a baptism this Saturday so that's gonna be fun and it's elder Hopkins last week so we're gonna end with some heat but I'm excited for transfers next week and I hope you all have a good week.

Love, PT

Lame Week ngl

 

Not too much happened this week to be honest I'm not sure how much heat I'll be dropping in the email but we'll see were it goes

Our boy tevon is back on date for april 12 but we prolly gotta push that john back because he keeps skipping church like a bot but i cant really talk to it's chill.

We played basketball with some members and friends on Wednesday and we absolutely cooked them it was such a frat fr. We played football too and we cooked them in that as well it's actually just not fair but it's a good way to fellowship.

This email is low-key just gonna be spiritual ig. I think general conference is this weekend and I'm so excited mainly because I get to miss church, this ward is so weird and I'm gonna be honest I'm ready for a new area. We have mlc tomorrow and I'm so excited because I get to see elder densely and I'm so happy. 

I'm just gonna be straight up Oregon is godless. 

Like bro no one here loves jesus and no on loves God it's sad and we definitely need to step it up as missionarys because there's so much work that needs done here. 

Also can we talk about how fake catholics are like no offense but being catholic is just an excuse to say I love jesus but I don't need to follow any rules and have any morales like come on at least Baptists are hard-core. Maybe a little too hard-core but it's chill. 

Anyways the two greatest commandments are love God and love thy neighbor so stop hating on people it's not what God wants. I love everybody even the unholy amount of homeless people here I love the bashers and I love all the weird people of Oregon so just love everybody even if you have different beliefs or if someone does you dirty just love them I know I can be better at showing love to all but we all have things we're working on.

Anyways hopefully next week is more eventful also I noticed last week that I caht even read my own emails so I don't know how anyone else can read or understand them but yeah good luck I guess.

Love yall I guess hehe
