Blackberry Bushes Bad

-

  This week we did some service. We helped a scout troop clean up someone's yard who is not able to do it themselves. One whole side of the house was covered in blackberry bushes and those things are mean. They are covered in thorns and stick to anything. In the backyard there was a section fenced off that was so covered in black berry bushes that we couldn't see that it was actually a concrete patio thing. 

 
There are some good members in scappoose this last weekend we were fed some really good meals. One family fed us smoked brisket and some chicken wings. And another family fed us some good steaks. Both families gave us some candy for halloween so that was awesome. The member that fed us steaks has three dogs who are very excited when someone new comes so that was really fun.

A scripture that helped me this week was Alma 26:37 and its when Ammon is glorifying God for helping them teach the Lamanites to find joy in God
"Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people whatsoever land they may be in"

  We had a good week out here. Wroclaw is one of the coolest cities. Every day we see something new I feel, its really cool. Live on a college campus so theres a lot of young people around. Outside the chapel/office building there are a ton of kids skateboarding its pretty cool. there are gnomes everywhere i will attach some pictures of the ones of seen lately.  There are bridges everywhere in the city too so we have seen a couple of those.  One scripture that I really liked this week was John 15:13 and it says Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. and I love this scripture because Jesus laid down his life for all of us and this love is the greatest love someone could give.

  First week in the field under the belt! We arrived Tuesday morning and just hung out all day meeting all the other new missionaries. All 24 Elders stayed at a members house superr nice all decked out they had the inside basketball arcade game like it was straight outta the arcade. Next day we were sent out to our areas. I was assigned to Scappoose, Oregon smaller town but very cool everybody seems to congregate at the Fred Meyer in town so we walk around the store trying to talk to people. Me and my companion live in an apartment next to a park with another set of Elders they are super cool my companion is Elder Stanley from Idaho falls and the other Elders are Elder Kopf  from Texas and Elder Peterson from Syracuse Utah.

  We are here in England in quarantine. We are stuck in this mtc room with 6 other elders and we get to leave to go to the bathroom and outside for 30 min twice so its kinda tuff but we play pickleball in the room and we made a card deck or flash cards so that aint bad. We should be in Poland in a couple of weeks hopefully. This is going to be a really short email but I know I am very blessed to be in the position I am right now and I am very grateful for that. And I am super grateful for the time I had in Scappoose and my trainer Elder Stanley and the rest of the apartment Elder Kopf and Elder Peterson and the rest of the scappellens district.
