WEEK #90 - Cheyenne Mountain YSA

Hey everyone! it has been a crazy busy week and we are dead tired.
On Monday, we had fun with the district and hiked Pulpit Rock. It is a nice easy hike and we had a great time.Elder Stark got to come with us! 





I also got a haircut that day at Paul Mitchell Hair School and it was good. We had dinner on our own and then went to FHE. We had a lesson on using your talents for good and then we played Jimmy Fallon games! We played Box of Lies which is where you have a board in between you and another person. You have an object in front of you and you have to describe it to the person and they have to decide if you are lying or telling the truth. It was awesome.
On Tuesday, we had an awesome zone conference where we got to see a ton of missionaries and get spiritually uplifted:)


Afterwards, we went out and did some finding and then had dinner with Michael and Marly in 5th ward! That was super awesome. Unfortunately, we didn't get to stay for too long because we had to drive out in the boonies to meet with the Relief Society President and go over some names with her. That was really good and she is going to be inviting a lot of people. 
On Wednesday, we went and Elder Luker had to register for stuff for his school. Then we went to the old people home and played more bingo. I actually got a blackout before all of them but I didn't tell them. They rubbed their bingos in my face though. haha it was fun. After we did some finding, we went to the AF Academy and waited for an appointment we had with a cadet but they didn't come. We went to MOD pizza for dinner with Nathan and then met with Miriam to go over the lists we got. This is going to be a great initiative. I got an email from President Rehm that said "you're the right man in the right place for this initiative."
On Thursday, we did service at the YMCA and then did some weekly planning. Dinner was with Mason Thatcher and he took us out to eat and brought one of his friends along! we got to have a good lesson about Easter and the Resurrection. We had institute that night and it was really good! Brother Palmer does a great job. We talked about having the faith to go and make it happen. We then met with Laura to go over the YSA lists and she is reaching out to an individual.
On Friday, we had a great district meeting and President and Sister Rehm came and joined us. We are doing really well as a district and it was great. Then we met with Talon after Lunch and did the same YSA list thing. He is going to go with us to invite these less active YSA people to have the missionary lessons. We helped set up for a homeless banquet and then had a lesson with an investigator and that was really good! Kristen Mason came with us and was awesome. For dinner, we picked up two cadets, Ben and Jack and got some pizza. It was really awesome. The mingle was fun, we played volleyball and hung out with the YSAs. We got to talk with a lot of nonmembers that came from the other wards.
Saturday was really great. We spent the morning serving an Easter lunch to the homeless people. that was cool. I was in charge of stocking the tables with utensils and place mats when spots cleared up. We went and contacted people at a park in Fountain and then went tracting and had some great lessons! We had dinner with Gilbert at Texas Roadhouse and that was awesome. Then we had to drive 40 minutes out to the boonies and met with Lindsey and Kynzee to go over more lists. It was a good drive and really productive.




On Sunday, we had Ward Council, and a great time at church. We went park contacting too and talked to a lot of great people about the easter message. It was a great Easter Sunday. We had dinner at the Thompsons and then made it to the fireside that they were having at the stake center. Then we gave a blessing to one of the Sister's investigators to help him quit smoking.Sorry if things seem kinda rushed in this email, we had less time. Love you all so much and have a great week!
