Spam and Eureka

An AMAZING week this week, tons of just fun stuff going on!

Eureka, Nevada

We have been coordinating with our Branch President and Mission Leader and are putting together an awesome Branch Mission Plan(6 months late haha). It's going really well though! Tons of great ideas and goals flowing. If there is one thing I have been able to learn these last few transfers, it has been the importance of having a purpose and vision, setting goals, and making plans to arrive there. So much more can be accomplished in life if we actually set some expectations for ourselves and strive with all our might in the little things to get there!

We got to go to Eureka this week, which is a little English branch in the middle of nowhere, and it is so adorable! There's Masons, Mormons, and Mennonites there! Such a fun little place, and we should be finding a new investigator there soon!

So I always thought SPAM was like a big joke and that nobody ever ate it, but wow have I been proven wrong! There's a family here, la familia Ramirez, who we visited and somehow got on this topic. They were so astonished that I hate literally never had SPAM before that they made me a SPAM and egg sandwhich and ohmygosh those are actually amazing! I feel like Oliver and Joseph in the Kirtland temple; my eyes have been opened!  

Saying goodbye to President and Sister Chesnut

Zone Conference - Elko

We had zone conference this last week, and it is President Chesnut's last round of Zone Conferences before he ends his mission in July. It's actually been super sad and super hard to watch this happen. Like I'm legitimately sad that we are going to lose President Chesnut. He is such a great leader and example and disciple of Christ. But it's alright. We know President Godoy will as well lead this mission in righteousness!

Like my homemade haircut?

Elder Johnson

Well, not much else going on. Jennifer Sahlberg, who you might remember, will be getting baptised this weekend  in the Cold Springs ward. Well apparently when going through her program, she decided she wanted me to give a talk at her baptism, even though I'm about 250 miles away! So I will be writing the talk out and having Elder Schloemer read it there. I am pretty pumped, and I've never done a talk-by-proxy before!

Hope you all have a great week and remember to follow the Prophet!
