Montana

I'm in Montana for my first area which is the farthest area in the mission which is pretty crazy. It's super crazy out here. This is the booniest place I've ever been to. Everyone is so spread out and has a truck and loves hunting. 

I have 2 companions training me which is pretty fun one of them is a year out and the other is going home next transfer so I'm getting some good training. 

We're serving in Troy and Libby. Libby has a small ward and Troy has a very small branch. This guy Moroni had us over for dinner for my first member meal and it was insane! He had tons of homemade chicken wings and they were absolutely delicious. The best part was we got the extras😎

The work is going well-- we've met some pretty crazy people and some pretty awesome people. The branch president lives in the middle of nowhere and built his own like personal sized lumber mill and was skinning some logs when we got there which was pretty cool to see. 

Missionaries haven't been in our area in a while so all the members are so grateful and just happy to see us. Oh and the views here are absolutely incredible I'll give you a sneak peak here at the end. I haven't gotten to getting some great pictures yet but I have a couple. 

This week I've been learning that it's not that hard to walk up and talk to people. Sometimes they'll say I'm not interested but most of the time they'll talk to you. What I'm learning to do is to casually bring up Jesus Christ in those quick interactions. 

But overall it's been a great area I'm just still trying to figure out the best way to learn how to do missionary work. 

Love you guys, I'd love to hear from you all!
