Elder Tyler Larson Wellington New Zealand Mission

Hey yall, hope this week was great for you guys. Thanksgiving is definitely not the same out here. But it was still a great day. Food was sub par but it's more about a day of giving thanks than just good food. Good food definitely helps tho. Kansas is Kansas. That's all I can say. This week was definitely the roughest week as far as mission work. We raked all week for random people and nobody cared to listen to a message. Thanksgiving is not a great week for mission work here that's for sure. But there were a couple of good things that happened this week. Last Tuesday, We got our friend Jeremiah to commit to coming to church. I also got a little bit second hand high while we were there. His step son Josh was blowing clouds right in our face and I started to feel weird so we left. Don't do drugs kids! Now the Golden question is, did he come to church? No, he did not. But that's alright. We learned on Saturday night that the only reason he kept inviting us over is tha...

What's up yall!! Hope you guys are all doing good. This week was good but the work was very slow. That's alright tho. Gonna have a better week this week. Not much really happened this week, so sorry if it's boring. Had a lot of doors slammed and got cussed at a lot this week. Anyways, we had a couple of interesting lessons this week. The first one was with Brandi and her kids. If you guys remember from last week, she is really crazy and has no filter. So, we went to their house prepared for a long visit because they always have something crazy to talk about. We wanted to follow up on the word of wisdom which she said she would follow, but we went over there and she was vaping so that was sad. But, we also wanted to talk about the law of chastity which is already awkward as it is. But we didn't even need to bring it up because they just started talking about their love life without us teaching anything. Let's just say some pretty gnarly things were said by her and he...

Well, good evening yall!! Good to see you guys. Hope yall had a great week. This week we had transfers which was great because I was definitely excited for a new area. So I got transferred to the Park Hill area which is right below Rose Hill and it is even more rural which I didn't think was possible. I got put into a trio for a week with Elder Bryce, and Elder Anderson. We dropped off Elder Anderson on Sunday for NZ. So, that was definitely a hard goodbye. Had some wild experiences this week tho. To explain the title I have to give a little bit of back ground.  My comps had warned me about a family they had been teaching and wanted me to meet them. So we went over there and hung out for a little bit. The boyfriend is an inactive member and the girlfriend is on date. Well not really anymore. She has some issues we have to figure out before baptism haha.. So, a little about the girlfriend. A couple of years ago she was kidnapped for 2 months. She was tortured and all that terrible s...

Good afternoon yall! How is everybody doing? Hope all is good. It's been an odd week here in Kansas. This week is transfers and I found out that I'm getting transferred which I have mixed feelings about. But hey we'll see how it goes. Anyways, not much has gone on this week. Just a regular week in Kansas. Everybody here is crazy haha. Started off the week with exchanges with Elder Woodrum. He's a stud. Love that guy. We had some fun and did some good work. We were knocking a house right next to one of our friends. Turns out that house was a red dot. Which means "DO NOT CONTACT". So, this guy ripped into us for a little bit. Apparently some elders before us had accused him of being "apostate". So funny! He didn't know what it meant and we just started laughing at him. But he yelled at us and we walked away. That was a good day. Finished the day off with a cool air plane escape room game, that took us way too long haha. Then, we had exchanges again...
