Elder William Turrell Pixton's Mission 2023-2025

tuesday for breakfast I made a smoothie... i worked out, studied then we went to the food bank. the food bank was insane as per usuall. Elder bassett was absolutely gobsmacked. for lunch i used my chef abilites and cooked up some chicken. it was actually un-un-gas (supprisingly) I found some balsamic vinegar in the cubord so i put some of that on it. after that we did some door knocking. it was raining all day today and Elder Bassett absolutely hated door knocking. he was like dude theres a no tresspassing sign we cant go in there. and then we did and it was fine lol. yeah the first door knocking experience is always the worst. after that we had sandwiches at sis newmans and she got to know Elder Bassett. it actually really helped him to talk to her so that was good. hes been pretty homesick, but he seemed to be doing better after that. then we went home and played magic wensday it was Elder Bassetts first district council today!!! there was actually a lof of things that people said

hey hey howdy yall this transfer has zoomed by at warp speed heres what ive been up to these last two weeks... im running out of creative names for these emails sooo im just gonna start numbering them zone confrence so this actually happened three weeks ago but I forgot to write about it so I figured id put it in this one. zone confrence this transfer was mainly focused on member participating lessons. our zone ended up setting a goal to have a total of 62 lessons with members by the end of the week. on average we get about 20 so it was a pretty lofty goal. we all prayed about it though and we felt that it was what the Lord wanted. Elder Larkin and I set a goal to have 6 lessons with members and we had no idea how to do it haha. we dont have very many lessons so we figured wed have to bring a member to every lesson. we had a lot of our lessons fall through but by the end of the week we reached our goal exactly. as a zone we ended up with 60 member participating lessons it was super

tuesday so today was a ton of finding. we went out in the boonies and knocked an abundance of doors and an abundance of those got slammed in our faces. like it was actually so funny this one dude threatened to sick his dogs on us if we didnt get off his property. he was like you better run to the gate or your gonna get bit... but they're werent even any dogs outside. so yeah we had absoluyytley zero success from that but it was a super nice day today so it was nice to go on a 2 hour walk pretty much. after that we had a zoom lesson with stephanie where we talked about a bunch of deep doctrine. after that we decided that there was still one more person left for us to find so we went finding again. it was the last door we knocked on and we ran into this super nice old lady named Jo-ann. shes had throat cancer twice so is super hard to understand her. like gift of tounges definitely came into play to try and interpret what she was saying. she told us her whole story and it was super i

Hey, I found this really great talk about missionaries. It is really long, but so good. Definitely something to contemplate. I don't know yet if you are being transferred or not, but I know someday you will. I know you will need to make decisions about what kind of missionary you want to be with your next companion, in your next area, for the rest of your mission. I think this talk was really great at talking about different types of missionaries and turning your heart and mind over to God so He can make you into the man He wants you to be. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this talk. I hope you really study it and pray about it and how it can help you in the rest of your mission, but most importantly how God can help you become the man you want to be and He wants you to be for the rest of your life and through eternity. Love you so much! Mom Quotes: You can't be happy if you don't want to do the things that lead to happiness, even if you do those very thin

7uesday anyways, today I woke up feeling pretty crappy so I just stayed in bed for a bit. then I took a super steamy shower to un-clog my nose and I felt a lot better after that. the food bank was hectic as always, but one of the food bank people started asking us about missionary stuff so that was cool. we probably wont start teaching him or anything like that, but he definitely respects us and what we do. thats the thing about the south. a lot of people love that were going out talking about Christ so they're super friendly to us, but most of them have their own church and dont want to be taught. after the food bank we had lunch and went to mayo for a lesson with stephanie. sister Royse came in clutch and bore her testimony when we face timed her so thats another member participating lesson babyyyy. lessgoooo. after that we just did some finding and, well thats about it. I didnt eat much for dinner because I had not appetite from being sick. also... we finished the puzzle tonight
