Hey yall

This week was a pretty good week! On Monday we went down to Osage beach, and we played sand volleyball as a zone! It was a blast! We have a really cool zone! There are a lot of cool missionaries! On Tuesday we did some service at this food pantry thing, and there was this one lady who was working with us, and it was her fist time, and it was my first time as well! She kept asking me what to do, and everytime i would tell her it is my first time here, and she just kept asking me questions, but it was way funny! On Wednesday we had district meeting, and it was pretty fun! I really hope everyone starts to participate just a little bit more though lol! Elder Wilde also taught me how to solve a rubics cube on Wednesday!  Thursday was a slow day! We just never got anything really going! We ended up driving out to a far less actives house to try and get something going, but it will still a fun day i guess! On Friday we did some service for a member, and we were moving old rotted 2 by 6s! In this pile of boards was pretty much any bug you can name, and then some! There was even 2 or 3 corn snakes! It was pretty intense to try and avoid all the bugs! Saturday was kind of a boring day as well! We helped some members clean the church, and that was fun! Sunday was a pretty normal day of Church as well! We had 4 investigators at church,and they were all younger than 12, so we went to primary for 2nd hour, and helped their teacher teach them! IT was way fun! Then we went over to a priest's house! On Tuesday he was in a really bad car wreck! He has a really bad concussion, and he messed up his back, and he broke 4 or 5 ribs! We just went to visit him, but he was in a way good mood, so we ended up playing Uno with him and his family! it was way good! Well that was my week! I hope yall are doing good! I love you and miss you all

Hey Yall

This has been a dang good week! 

Thursday was a little crazy! I was in the car for 6 and a half hours! I was always in a car

 with someone really cool though, so it went by really fast! When I got with Elder Wilde 

we were driving back to Sullivan, and my bike feel off of the bike rack!  We were on the 

free way, so we could just turn around! We ended up having to take like a 3 mile round 

about loop to get back to the bike! It was Destroyed!!!! It had been ran over a bunch,

and so it was toast! The good news is I talked to my mom, and we have insurance on 

the bike, so it will all be good! I love Elder Wilde though! We have had a blast these 

past few days! He is from Vegas, so I still havent had a Utah companion! Friday was 

a blast! We just went around and i started to meet people! It is awesome our ward 

mission leader is soooooo much like Travis Leatherwood, so he is way fun! On Saturday 

we played basketball with the youth, and that was a blast as well! I really love this 

ward! Yesterday I met almost everyone, and I am just so excited! Last night we 

played canasta at our high priest group leaders house, and that was so fun!!! I am 

ready to keep going here! I am sorry that I dont have more information! A lot more 

happened, but i  left my planner at home, and it has all the stuff  That we did on it! 

I sure do love and miss all of you! 

Love Elder Sorensen

Hey yall

     This week was a pretty good week and a half! It is kinda weird to email yall on A 

Wednesday and not a Monday!  This past week was a pretty good one though! It was

slow until Wednesday! We had a district meeting, and it went pretty good! I really have 

enjoyed my district here! Elder Wisden and I have done a ton of tracting latley! We have 

met some good people, but it is so funny, and sad to hear how some people are so stuck 

in their ways they wont even talk to us! It will be alright though! We have had this hole 

under our apartment in the closet in my bathroom forever! It hasnt been a problem the 

whole 6 months I have been here untill this week! We have been hearing noises coming 

from that closet!  Then on Wednesday night we put some moth balls in the closet, and put 

a trap out by the hole outside! Well  we caught an armadillo! It was crazy! I would have

never guessed thats what we would have found! We took him out a released him! We thought 

we were clear of the problem! Boy were we wrong! Sunday we herd the noises still so i open

the closet, and find a Skunk!! What we did is we got the trap, covered it in blankets, put it in 

my bathroom next to the closet, opened the closet door, and shut the bathroom door! That

night we just got home, and we herd the trap go off! I ran into the bathroom grabbed the trap 

and ran outside as fast as I could! I lifted the blanket, and sure enough it was a skunk! We 

had someone come and "take care of it" for us, and we have been good ever since! Then 

last night We got our transfer calls! I am going to Sullivan Missouri! My companions name is 

going to be Elder Wilde! 

My new mailing address is

Elder Sorensen

Sullivan MO  63080

I am pretty excited, but also way nervous! I will still be the District Leader, and It will be interesting!

I love and miss yall so much!

Good Morning everyone!

I have had a very interesting week! Monday we did the usual, and played basketball! We played 

for a few hours, and then when it was time to leave somehow we got stuck having to stay with this 

16 year old investigator while his grandpa was coming to give him a ride home! Well his grandpa 

was in no hurry! he was supposed to be there in 20 minutes, but he didn't get there for 2 hours! 

It was kind of a long day, but it was fun to talk to this kid for a while! On Tuesday we had the 

Elders From Wagoner come over for an exchanges! Both Companionships stayed in Tahlequah!

It was Fun! I went with Elder Call! he is from Colorado! We had a pretty good day! Then on 

Wednesday we had Zone Training in Muskogee! That was one of the best meetings of my mission! 

It just really stuck out to me! I feel like it really has helped out my missionary work a ton this past 

week! Our district Starting doing this really cool thing! We started to have morning devotionals 

every morning! What we do is every morning we get on a conference call and someone comes 

prepared with a spiritual thought, and someone says a closing prayer! It is only about 5 to 10 

minutes long, but it has been so awesome to see a difference in my missionary work, and others 

have told me it has helped theirs as well! Friday and Saturday were awful! We found bed bugs, 

and exterminators are crazy expensive to get rid of them! We did a few treatments Friday, and 

Then Saturday our LandLord came over, and told us they weren't good enough! We literally took 

everything out of our apartment, and either put it in Black trash bags to cook in the sun, or threw 

it away! Then we spread out this stuff that is supposed to kill them! As of right now everything 

except our mattresses which are in a protective thing, is still in black trash bags, and we are just 

living out of them! that really kind of sucks! Sunday was pretty good though! I got the opurtinity to

bare my Testimony in Sacrament meeting! It was way cool! Well thats about it for my week! I love 

and miss yall

​Hey everyone! This week was a pretty good week! Tuesday I went on Exchanges, and I 

went down to a town Called Eufaula, and I had to correct this elder for flirting with sisters, 

and honestly it was funny! He just agreed with everything I said! Im not even sure if he listend 

to me, but I guess we will see!​ On Wednesday We had District meeting in Tulsa, and we 

interviews with President and Sister Loveland! It was kind of funny I got minerly Chastized 

for not writing in my planner as much as i should, and i made the joke to him that I wouldnt 

be able to read it anyway, and he got a pretty good kick out of that! Mine and his interview 

went for 15 minutes, and usually mine only go for like 2, but it was good! We talked about 

some good stuff! Then My interview with Sister Loveland was amazing! She told me a lot 

of good tips for being a District leader, and she is such an awesome lady! On Thursday 

we went to an investigators house! Well they told me a long time ago that they had a blue 

suit, and I joked with them for like 5 months that when they find that suit it is mine, well 

they found it! It fit really good! I will put a picture on this email! It was way funny! So I dont 

know if any of you have ever been in Oklahoma rain, but it gets crazy! It is just hard hard 

rain! It comes down in lakes not drops, and it rains for like 15 minutes then stops for 30 

and starts back up! it is crazy! We are starting to get somewhere with a few investigators, 

but it is not moving very fast right now! This next week is going to be another good week! 

I love and miss yall
