Called to Serve in Provo: Week 34- Helper, Utah

This week has been awesome, I'm serving here in Price, Utah, actually Helper, Utah, and my companion is Elder Redmond, sort of like almond but red. He's a studley guy with a lot of good priorities. Like preparing to go home in five weeks. Yep that's right I'm sending home another missionary. It sounds bad but his two years are up.

I'll try to get some pictures with him, he doesn't seem to like them. But stay posted. So we live in helper but our boundaries are huge! We go into Price and all the way down into Scofield. So it's a very fun mission. I think we actually get the second most amount of miles in the Mission. So we drive a lot.

The scenery here in helper Utah amazing, I'm sort of surrounded by a wall of sweet looking mountains, because there used to be a giant lake here, but now it's all dried up. Plus the famous balance-rock is here so that's cool. As for the work, it is a little slower, which is kinda expected with only 2000 people that live here. But we're working hard. So we're still successful missionaries :)

As for being a Zone leader, it's not too glamorous, consider it more like a zone babysitter. We do stuff like deal with chastise and support troubled missionaries, and collect key indicators at the end of the week to send them to the assistants. We also advice on how to be more successful and positive, not that I know how yet :), because here in helper price and the members aren't as friendly, some missionaries of trouble with that. So it's pretty simple, and fun too. We get and give a lot of training too! On Tuesday we have to go to 8 hours of training, called missionary leadership council. Then on Thursday we do a Zone training meeting for 3 ish hours. That's going to be fun. So Christ was right, we serve our missionaries a lot and he said it perfectly. "If any are chief among you let him be your servant".

But that's about all folks. Here are some pics:
