Zone Meeting

Hey guys! 

This week was a good week! Monday for p-day we went to Greece and and played basketball, went to the Greece mall which is huge! Etc... Tuesday we had zone meeting in Batavia so we went down and had a good meeting. We learned a lot then all of us went to Taco Bell and we ran into for sisters who all have sons on missions from Utah. They were just traveling around the country and we happened to run into them at a random Taco Bell. So pretty cool!

We did a bunch of service this week for members who just got out of the hospital. Mostly mowing lawns but it was good because I haven't done that in a while. We did some weeding a couple of people's gardens and that I'm not gunna lie, it wasn't the funnest. They also had a huge horse! It was a Belgian I think? It's back was over six feet high and it weighed over 2000 pounds.

We did some tracting and I've almost done all of Brockport since I've been here for so long and it's not that big of a town. Hopefully we can find someone to teach soon. We had a good lesson with Joseph and Lee this week. Joseph is keeping the word of wisdom so far so that's good! And the lesson with Lee was really good! Bro Britton came and we talked about a lot of questions they had from this anti pamphlet they got from the pageant.

It has been a great year so far and I'm excited for the next year (except for the winter!)  I've learned a ton on my mission so far and especially that my mission might be all just planting seeds for the missionaries in the future. Somebody has got to do it right?! And that the mission is for me to grow and become better and if that happens then it will be a mission accomplished! Hope you guys have a great week!

Love Elder Daugs

Ps. I have to play the organ in sacrament meeting in a couple of weeks since all of the people that usually do it are gonna be gone!

HUMP DAY!!!

It's official! It has been one full year since we sent our missionary off! We all gave him one last hug and wished him well. I can't wait to hug him again!! I miss him! He is doing great serving the Lord and loves being in New York. We are looking forward to counting down the next 365 days!

We love you Elder Daugs!

Hey guys!

This week was good as usual. We did quite a bit of tracting, we had a district meeting, and all of the usual. I went on exchanges with Elder Coffey in Spencerport and we did a bunch of service and contacted a referral that we got from President Francis. He met this guy at the airport when he was dropping off he missionaries to go home and he got his info and we went and contacted him and he is going to see them again.

We had a lesson with Joseph and he had been keeping the word of

wisdom for a couple of days and then he faltered because he lives with a member and she is inactive and she smokes so it's kinda hard for him to keep his commitment. I did a baptismal interview for a guy in Spencerport and he is ready to be baptized so that's awesome! We are kinda running low in people to teach so we are in desperate need to find some more people to teach. Other than that nothing too exciting.

I love you guys and hope everything is going good!

Hey guys, there really wasn't much too exciting this week. We did a ton of tracting this week and handed out a ton of advertising for pageant.

I got to go to pageant this Saturday with Lee and Mary Jane.  It was awesome! I really like it and you guys are going to have to come and see it next year. We are continuing to hand out the Book of Mormon. There really wasn't anything too exciting besides that because nobody got transferred in our district. 

I have been reading the Book of Mormon for my fourth time on the mission and I am marking every time it mentions Jesus, anytime he speaks and Christlike attributes so I'll send it home soon. 

Sorry for the short letter.

Love, Elder Daugs

Hey guys!

This week we have done quite a bit of community service, which is good because then we get to talk with a bunch of people and to get to know the people from the other churches. So helped at the food pantry giving out food donations. We helped at the book sale at the Episcopal Church. We also helped at a dinner serving food at the Episcopal Church.

We had all of the usual things during the week. Walking around a lot trying to tell people about the pageant and trying to give out some Book of Mormon. We had a good lesson with Joseph and Brother Warren came with is to the lesson. We taught about the word of wisdom and he wants to change and quit smoking himself even before we gave the lesson so hopefully he will be able to do it.

We also finally got in with this one family and they want to meet again and they want to go to pageant but they don't have a car so we will have to try and figure out a way to get them there. Joseph also wants to go but he doesn't have a car either. The best part of the week was going to pageant! It was an awesome show and lots of fun. It's surprising all of the people you meet there. I met lots of people from Utah, California, Arizona, etc... And I ran into Elder Wick of the Seventy and got to talk with him for a little bit. He gave a conference talk a couple of years ago. It was a big endeavor though to go to pageant. It starts at nine so you have to leave to get there and get a seat by 6:30 then you don't get home until after midnight. So it makes for a long day. I hope to go a couple more times with investigators if we can figure out all of the rides situation.

Transfer calls were this morning and I'm staying the same so I'll be in Brockport for at least 6 months.

Have a great week!

Love ya! 

Now that's a slice of pizza!
