Week 13!! Blazing wings!! Nov 7, 2022

Nicholas Clemons Nov 7, 2022

What's up yall hope everyone had a great week and a greet Halloween!! This week was lit and was full of miracles!! We also had an all day p day this week which was so much fun!! 

 Monday: CELESTIAL P DAY! we started off all day p day by playing some basketball and then we headed to Buffalo wild wings and took on the blazing challenge which is 10 Carolina reaper wings in 5 minutes. It hurt a lot but I was able to do it. After b dubs we spent the rest of the day playing games and then ended by playing a big game of hide and seek in the dark. 

 Tuesday: we had a lesson with a inactive member who wanted us to teach his daughter who hasn't been baptized yet. The lesson went so good and I'm confident that she is going to be baptized soon!! We also played basketball with a bunch of investigators except we were in our church clothes so it was kind of hard to play haha. 

 Wednesday: was kind of disappointing. A lot of people didn't want to talk to us or just canceled the whole lesson all together. We did have book of mormon study though which went really good! We also did like a crap ton of raking leaves but we did get to jump into them which was fun! 

 Thursday: we did some service for our friend Carlos. We just tied a bunch of stuff to rope and he hauled it up to his attic. Then he made us breakfast and put like 3 habanero peppers in them and they were nothing compared to the Carolina reaper wings. 

 Friday: we had zone conference which was super good. We talked alot about following the spirit and heard some really good testimonys. After that we met with brother woods who just overcame cancer and he is so cool because he is starting to just see God in his life and it's just super cool. 

 Saturday: we met with our friend John. John is super cool because he literally owns a hawk. Then later that night we went to our stakes dias de Los Muertos party. There was lots of good food and a bunch of the missionaries came and we danced the entire time which was super fun even thought I couldn't understand half of the music. 

 Sunday: we had a really spiritual sacrament meeting. I even shared my testimony. After that meeting one of the youth teachers asked us to teach there class about gaining a testimony so we did and I think it went really good. (Shoutout to brad white for teaching me how to teach 15 year olds lol) 

 Anyway that was my week and I'm absolutely loving my time out here in Nebraska serving the people of Bellevue. I'm getting farther in the book of mormon everyday and every verse is just so spiritually uplifting! I'd love to hear from some of you! Feel free to reach out!!!

Halloween 2023

 Halloween was very low key this year.  Brooke came over with Navy and Wonton.  The two of them are wild.  Brooke sat outside with some candy and we had like 100 trick or treaters.  We usually have close to 300.  

I knew about 6 kids.  I thought I would know more being in the primary.  We had to put Wonton inside for a while with Navy.  Herehe is looking out the window.  He didn't like being inside with all the happenings outside.  

I thought I got a pic of Navy but I can't find it.  She wanted to be outside to but she's kindof wild and was barking.  

This is Nick in his Halloween costume.  Cowboy hats on the mission.  Love the blue pants.  

And after Trick or treating, we took Wonton and Navy and Brooke and I went to Mcdonads to take Ty a McRib at work.  This is the last time 

Ty got a Mcrib but the smile is the same because he is so excited to eat a McRib.  

Jack went to a halloween party.  

Week 12!! I'm cracked at volleyball!!

 

Alright the title of this email may be lame. Unless you saw how bad at volleyball I was at the prove mtc. Shoutout elder carver for carrying me in the mtc but on p day we were playing volleyball and our team went down 15-5 but with my great volleyball skills we brought ourselves back and won!! That's was pretty much the only thing that happened on p day. The rest of this week was full of lots of lessons and street contacting. We also had stake conference this week and 2 70's pulled up and I shook both there hands so my right hand is just full of priesthood power right now haha

 Monday: played a lot of basketball and then ate some really good Chinese food and then ended p day with some good volleyball and gatorball. After p day ended we went and saw our friend Adam who has been going through a lot but the important thing is he is still turning to God and reading the book of mormon. 

 Tuesday: we did a good amount of service for this member. It was fun service because we just picked up sticks of a hill and burned them. After we were done we roasted some marshmallows over the fire which were so bombbb. After that we went and did interviews with President Bailey. We had a bunch of member lessons so we just cranked those out for the rest of the day. 

 Wednesday: we had zone and district council. Our district has been killing it recently which is sick. A bunch of our lessons fell through that night so we did a lot of street contacting and then had a good member lesson about the power of prayer. 

 Thursday: my comp is the district leader so he gets to interview people to be baptized and so while he did that I taught his son about the restoration which was really cool. Then on our way to a member lesson we got stopped by a train for like 20 minutes so we had to make our member lesson that night really short which sucked soooo much. 

 Friday: we got to teach our friend Brittany who is super hype. Her daughter is like 3 and comes up with these super sassy comments about the book of mormon which is super funny. Friday night we had our wards trunk or treat which was super fun because we got to judge all of the chili. Some of the people in the Spanish branch came too and there chili was really really spicy. 

 Saturday: we knocked out some service In the morning and went to Tony's baptism!! President Bailey showed up which was so cool too. I felt the spirit so much when we gave him the holy ghost blessing. 

 Sunday: we had stake conference and it was so good. Both 70's gave amazing talks about the power of being a light in today's society. Then the rest of the night we got yelled at a lot from people saying that Jesus isn't real but we just move on and keep smiling. I know someday they will be great investigators. 

 That was basically my whole week. Hope all of you have a great Halloween. We get an all day p day because it's Halloween so feel free to email me!! Love you all!!

Facetiming Mondays

 

Nick gets to call on his P day.  So he does a group call or whatever and it is usually Brooke and Jack and me.  He calls Brody and he is usually at work.  This time, Abi got to join in.  I guess she got messenger.  I'm the one in the dark spot.  I was in the car and it was dark.

Nick sounds so good.  He got a hair cut from his companion and I'm not so sure about it.  But I'm sure the price was right.  He bought that new coat he is wearing.  He calls from the garage so he says it is cold there.  

He said he bought some boots but didn't show them to us.  Fun Fact, a few days later, Grandma said she wanted to buy the Boots for him and gave me some money to put in his acct for him.  

Nick did share this on Facebook

Mitchell, my nephew,  got a deer.  YUCK.  But so cool.  I guess they had to drag that for a LONG time to the truck in the dark.  Doesn't sound like that much fun to me.  

I had an appt with the Cardiologist.  I saw this guy in the red.  He is Mr. Tate and I worked with him a long time ago and I love him.  Abi and Brooek also had him and liked him too.  Too bad he was too far away to talk to him.  It looks like he is taking his parents to the Doc.  I have missed working with him.  

He is the one that told Abi to be a Physican Assistant and that she was smart enough. Or be an accountant.  Thats cool that she is actually being one.  

Hopefully his parents have a follow up in 6 months and I can see him again

So Proud of our Ty

 Proud of our Ty that he went to the Planet with Brooke.  Look at him rocking the machines  He is brave  I can only go to like the treadmill or bike.  He's rocking it.

HE will be so sad because I saw this today.  McRib is on its farewell tour.  He loves a good McRib.  This is the last season.  He is the only person, besides Melanie, my dead sister, that likes the McRib

I saw this on Mcdonalds post and then I get this pic

Doesn't that McRib just look delicious.  :)  

Week 11!! "With those boots on nobody will know your from Northern Utah

Week 11!! "With those boots on nobody will know your from Northern Utah

What's up guys!! It's been a pretty crazy week! We found 10 new people this week.i feel like I'm really starting to hit my groove as far as teaching about the gospel goes. I even used the first vision in one my lessons this week which was so hype for me! 

     We  taught macry how to ride a bike. Macry left for the provo mtc yesterday and needed to know how to ride a bike for his mission so we taught him how and then ate some Mexican food with him. 

   Wednesday One of the people we used to teach recently passed away so we went to his funeral and the service was pretty good. It was kinda weird being in a different church but it was also kinda cool. Especially because it was a rock band church so they had some really cool songs about Jesus. 

    Tuesday we went and visited brother Sanchez just to see how he was doing and he ended up taking us to the boot barn where a bunch of there boots are 50% off right now. So I copped a pair and after I bought them my companion said the funniest thing to me "with those boots on nobody will know your from northern Utah" haha. Guess I'm a cowboy now haha. 

  Thursday night we had a really powerful lesson with josephine. We taught her about the power of the book of mormon and I even shared my testimony of the book of mormon which was fun to do haha. 

   Saturday we did lots and lots of service. The first service project we went and cleaned up trash out of the grossest house I've ever seen. There basement was flooded and so we cleaned up trash with water up to our ankles. The water also smelled like dog poop which wasn't very pleasant either. Later we painted a house and then we ended off service Saturday by burning some sticks. 

Later that night we visited Mike and patty. Mike started chemo recently and it's not looking good for him. So keep him in your prayers please! The chemo has made his whole neck swell up and he can barely meet with us for 30 mins before he has to rest. So that kinda sucks but he still wants to get baptized!!

Sunday we had a cool lesson with a family from south Sudan. We taught them all about the restoration and talked a lot about baptism. All the kids want to be baptized but the mom doesn't speak good English so she's kind of on the fence about it but the cool thing is she is sisters with one of our inactive families so we are gonna try and see if we can get her to translate for her!! 

That's all that happened this week. It was a super busy and hype week! Hope all of you are doing good. Feel free to email me! 

Love clemdawg

Jacks New hair

 

Jack came home the other day with his head shaved and this new color.  I guess the football team did that and some girl going to beauty school (maybe) did the hair dye.  Something like that.  It doesn't look all that bad...Here we are at church.  He didn't know I took the pic.  He won't send me one and I keep forgetting to get one  

It was going to snow this weekend so the Taurus needed to get some windshield wipers changed.  That left me to do the changing.  Jack (who I made go to the store with me)  and I went to Ace hardware and they didn't have the right size.  We looked online for the size.  We had to go to Costco.  Conveniently Costco had the size AND they were on rebate.  6.99 each.  Wow.  Great.  Of course we needed chicken wings and bananas and apples and stuff so our 6.99 windshield wipers turned into much more.  :)  

But I couldn't figure out how to get the old off.  None of the videos were that great for that part.   I got out the garden clippers and cut the plastic off.  Then they went on like a charm.  Just like the videos said.  I amaze myself.  Although I'm sick of having to be the one in charge of all the cars for sure.  

Went to my favorite sushi place.  Ginger sushi or something like that.  It was super great.  As usual.  Brooke was invited but she wanted to go somewhere with Grandma and McCall and Cooper.  Missed out.  I had a great date to the dinner too.  

I ordered some more checks.  Like WHO uses checks.  I have to have them for the one or two times a year that I write them.  I sometimes write them to Costco before payday.  I only get like one day before they clear.  But sometimes thats all I need.  That is probably enough to last me the rest of my life.

This is my cousin sharon commenting on this post that has 93.5 K responses.  Makes me laugh because I drive a cadi.  I"m far from rich...
