003a4007-bc72-4301-b815-9a60f45def6f Elder Ammon Shaner Back to Missionary Letters I'm The Exchange King and I'm also Hiccup.. This past week has been overall pretty good we had interviews with the mission president and he even came to our ward meanwhile we had 4 of our friends pull up to sacrament meeting so it made us look real good in front of him lol. Pretty fun but crazy week and I'll be hitting one month in the feild this next week 🥳 More Exchanges... So i have been on more exchanges than known to man and im not complaining. If you don't know what exchanges are its where you basically swapped companions for the day with another companionship. At the beginning of the week Elder Cubano wanted to do exchanges with the chimney rock elders again but this time he wanted to put us two greenies together so I got my driving permission early to make it happen. But me and Elder Platt while on exchanges did a service project where we sledgehammered walls which was the funniest thing ever. Then Monday I believe we went on exchanges with the ZLs so I had to make sure i was locked in to impress them. I went into the Cheyenne area for the day with Elder Johnson and I love him he's such a goat but I actually ended up putting someone on date by myself while with him so afterwards he said "yeah your training next transfer" then he said the only person he knew who trained second transfer is AP. Anyways on our drive back in the dark to Scottsbluff we talked about conspiracies and Skinwalkers so that was fun. My Growing Addiction I can't lie im getting addicted.... to buying awesome things like Pokémon cards 😞 or like sick posters i see. It's honestly so fun trying to pull a really cool card from the pack and it didnt help that the first pack i did I got a really good card and also the fact that everyone else here does it. But its fun I got some sick cards a sick Spiderman poster and now a Lil Spiderman figure that was a mystery figure and right before I opened it I was like I want that winter Spiderman and I got it! My Look-a-likes I guess??? So we usually have a question of the day from some of the sisters which is super funny because its always something but they also think that like everyone looks like me. It started out with a Pic they sent of a guy on a motorcycle and said it looked like me dont know why but holy man I want a motorcycle so ya that looks like me. Then we talked about movies I said something about how to train your dragon and they said I look like hiccup I WILL TAKE THAT HE SO COOL! Then it went to them saying I look like Remy the rat from ratoiulle which just isn't true. Cool things Aight this emails pretty long already so I'll wrap it up but some cool things that have happened that I haven't already mentioned was we got to go to 2 b-day parties in the same day. The first one we were walking by and they said hey you hungry ofc so we went and partyied it up. Then we pull up to one of our friends house and they are setting up for their mom's bday party so they say to come back later and we did and got fed again later and partyied it up lol. Also we had a lady crash out over text like bad because we said we could meet up inside somewhere unless there's another adult man which was kind of funny. But we actually got locked out of our apartment because we took our car into the shop overnight and our keys were in there so we went over to the shop and there was a cleaning that who wasn't too sure about helping us and seemed kind of mad but we got them lets gooooo. Anyways that's most of the important stuff that has happened and sorry for the long emails yall dont have to read them all but I do enjoy getting replys back. Love yall and have a good week. Also we going to the zoo today i think lets go. Google Photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/WuZLR4fbshPCtFGYA Previous Letter Next Letter

b2a87480-2184-4201-b7bf-0b7dc379f067 Elder McKay Mulitalo Back to Missionary Letters chroo broo Ran allim famini! another week down, honestly nothing really happened this week. we went out and didn't see too much going on. not too many brown people were out and about recently. I forgot we met an inactive member named zay and she wants her son jessie to be baptized. we met her after I had a prompting to stop by and she was crying and asked for a blessing, then I played with jessie, now were kinda best friends. glory to god 🤞church was insanely chaotic on sunday... but were past that. we went on a hike for pday, pretty chill. got some calm fliccys. had dairy queen after, not chill. 😭 The chuuk is getting better ever so slowly, still praying and pushing. Alma 48: 17-18 Man those verses, so powerful. I invite you to study the attributes of Captain Moroni and the other examples in the Book of Alma. They're all so tuff and their faith runs so deep. One thing is common among them all. They Center their life and mission dedicated to Jesus Christ. 🩻 love you all 🫶 https://photos.app.goo.gl/DSwq1RW2YLAc9KTa9 Previous Letter Next Letter
