Elder Brayden Richards: June 10, 2015 President Morgan's last Zone Conference

Hello all!

This has been a pretty good week so far! Thursday was a pretty average day! We taught some lessons nothing to crazy, Friday was like unto it. Except on Friday we went on splits with the APs because they are doing a miniature mission tour. So that was cool. We went and looked up a less active. And he was totally cool with chatting. It was a good lesson!

Anyways Saturday we got to go help at the Cub Scout carnival! It was pretty nice they hooked us up with bagel bites which are totally rad! I was impressed with it too; it was a pretty nice little shindig.

Sunday was good also we went to a dinner appointment with a family who is really into church history so it was cool to talk about it and stuff! I really enjoyed it!

Monday was sort of crazy I taught district meeting and the. We came home for lunch and our bishop called us out of the blue and asked if we would come help him move a member who is moving in. So we went to the address and they pull up on a truck and we start unloading this stuff, and elder Ficklin and I got to move a fold up bed couch and those things are wicked heavy! It stunk! We had it up one flight of stairs and it took about 15 minutes and we were both drenched in sweat. But we ended up getting it to the apartment. So we head home and Elder Ficklin jumped in the shower when the bishop called again to have us help another member move, he found out about both moves about 2 hours before they wanted to have people there, anyways we show up at this one and I ended up mostly packing the kitchen and doing their dishes so they could pack them. It was great service but we got them on their way so hooray.

Yesterday we had zone conference it was pretty awesome, I took a ton of notes so that's a good thing! It was President Morgan's sort of goodbye it was sad because he is so cool but it was good too. He is going to be missed! But he gave a great talk to us about consecration, and also he just gave us good advice. It was really a special meeting. I loved it.

Things are good here! Today our goal is to skateboard the entire island starting at our house which is at the very top all the way to south ferry at the bottom of the island. So that should be fun we are making stops along the way too, so I can hopefully check in with you guys! It's Elder Ficklin’s last real p-day today. And this is what he wanted to do. Yeah our skate trip ended rather abruptly, we were riding across a weird bridge thing on the river, I hit a bump and jumped off so I wouldn't fall and the bump hit my board in such a angle as to send it flying off the bridge. So I walked home. It stunk. I spend a good while just staring into the river; Elder Ficklin captured a picture of it. It really stinks. But life keeps going

But yeah zone conference was awesome. Its crazy it's already summer vacation, the school year was just starting when I left! Its nuts! Time flies!

But that's the extent of my week! I hope you all have a great next week.
