6/17/25 Mission 99% Complete

751/758 days and now its just one week! Here we go!

Started off with zone conference. I gave my final testimony. On the same day, we had a huge scavenger hunt organized by the zone and we won (kind of). Ended with some fun beach volleyball.

Lots of member work too. We were able to meet with more members and just get to know them. Super good stuff.

Well, I have been pondering a few things and today, this seemed like the most important. First, from the talk Foreordained to Serve, "Protect the private times in your life". Second, Psalms 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God." As missionaries, we take 10 minutes a day to pray and ponder on what is on our minds. As I have done this these last few months, it has helped center each day. My small invitation to you all is to take a small bet of time (1 minute, 2, 5, or 10) and ponder on the goodness of God in your life.

Well, the rest:
- When at two different members places, I received two opposite pieces of advice about marriage. 1, Get married first and then pursue an education. 2, wait to get married and then wait to have kids. I think the second one is a little better.
- A 1 hr service project turned into 2.5. Changed oil for an drivable lawnmower and then proceeded to mow their overgrown lawn. Super fun time and he gave us hats the next day.
- Zone conference: we had ribs for lunch and those hit different. One of the best conferences I'd been in.

There will be 1 more email after this one. Its been real everyone and till next time!

The work awaits,
