Elder Bryce Thompson: 7/21/2025 Week 81- I went to Bryce Canyon!

Sorry for the super long email last week!

Monday for pday we got food at Costa Vida then we attempted to play baseball but no one really wanted to play so we ended up playing kickball for a bit then went inside to do more, shot some hoops and played catch for a while. Ended the night with dinner and a couple visits!!

Tuesday we had an amazing district council!! Talked about daily contact with our friends which was much needed. Visited a bunch of people and that was the day.

Wednesday we had interviews with President Loveland which took super long. We got to do a training with the other Elders in the Zone so we were at the church from 12-5:15 🥲. It was good though because the interviews were worth it!! That night we went to youth night an got to play a couple rounds of backyard football with the youth!

Thursday was a pretty normal day, tons of contacts and our scripture study/ game night with the youth!! We also stumbled across a couple really cool street names! Mormon Trail and Bryce Canyon Drive!! Started an exchange with Elder Duckett in his area!

Friday was a really fun day. It was super hot and no one was outside but we pressed forward and got QT ice cream which helped a ton. I got to hold a couple bearded dragons. We then met Chris and his wife who are both super cool. Had dinner with a super awesome family and got a pic with their really biggg dog! Helped out with a move and that was about it.

Saturday we started the day with going to the Temple because we had a couple recent converts go for their own endownment which was such a cool experience to be a part of! I got to see a bunch of people I knew from previous ward's, Including the youth of the FW5 ward!!! Went to In n Out afterwards of course... The rest of the day was filled with a bunch of contacts and weekly planning!

Sunday, had church and partook of the Sacrament!!! I got to teach another youth class this week which was a blast. It was on Asking God in prayer when we have questions!
