Elder Bryce Thompson: 7/14/2025 Week 80- I'm a real Mormon Missionary now!

Monday was a normal missionary day. Started the day off by going to the office and making some handouts for our zone council! (See pictures) then Zone Council!! It was super amazing and spirit-filled. It was different than normal. We spent most of the time counseling with each other about the struggles in each of our areas. So many ideas were shared! We ended the night with a couple of visits.

Tuesday we got to go to the temple! It was super awesome as always. Our Elders quorum president who's from Sacramento took us and we ended up getting In n Out afterwards... have to have that California tradition. Afterwards we went to a member's house where I could get a haircut and watch the Chosen Season 5! Our district tagged along too. It was a good time, we got to the scene when Jesus cleanses the temple and man was it good! Had a lesson that night and that's about it

Wednesday we got to go on exchanges with one of the APs and what do you know... Elder Langston gets to join us, one of my district leaders who I still look up to so much! Anyway, we saw so many miracles. Had a lesson with our new friend Jordan!!

Thursday wasn't too crazy, had weekly planning and got to help a couple members pack up some stuff for a move. Ended the night with a scripture study for the youth and went and borrowed a couple bikes for the next day 👀

Friday I got to be a real Mormon missionary! Myself and a service missionary went and blitzed up in trophy Club. What that means is went went and worked another missionaries area to help them out. We biked around which was a ton of fun. Started of by visiting some people and going to Chick-fil-A for lunch and had a good comp study! Then did some more riding, talked to people at Tom Thumb and then got kicked out just as we were about to leave. Oh well people just don't like Jesus I guess 🤷. Did more visits, some guy got us water so that was awesome! Then the sisters brought us slurpees, that helped a ton. Had dinner with the Larsen's. And ended the night by joining another companionship for the day.

Saturday I joined the YSA Elders to learn from them! Started the day off by taking their car in for service so we ended up walking around for an hour or so! Then made some other visits for the day and that's about it!

Sunday, we had church, I got to help with the sacrament again. Oh and we got to teach the Young Women which was super fun! Had SMC, and that was the week!!
