Denning, Dallin

Yes today marks my 5 month on my mission but most of those months were at my house sooooo i don't know if it really counts haha but this week was awesome we did tons of service and man do I love the people here they are dope and I've met some of the coolest people!! Which is crazy cause like who would have thought cool people live in South Carolina? Right?  But being able to serve, help them and be a representative of Jesus Christ is constantly keeping my spirit up!     The highlight of this week was we helped Gary (the guy with the cool motorcycle collection) move some of his really old bikes into his shop so he could fix them up! And man, he has bikes everywhere we picked up 4 bikes at his friend's house Bobby Ravanski!! And they were super far in the back of his lot under some tarps then we moved 3 more from behind his house and we put them all in the shop he has a warehouse of about 30 motorcycles and next week we are going to help him move some of those!! I can ...

Wow this week was good!! Happy father's day to all the dads out there hope y'all had a good day and that your kids and wives spoiled ya!! But about my week we did tons of service for members and nonmembers Friday we helped a family set up for a funeral cause their grandpa died. It was super sad but they really appreciated our help and Saturday they had a wedding after the burial, so we set that up Friday night after everything!! Saturday morning, we helped this old lady move. her husband also just died, and she was moving in with her daughter and son in law in New Hampshire she couldn't take all her stuff with her, so she said if you want anything just ask!! I got this cool old book of Mormon from 1952 its sweet!! Then after that we went and pulled plywood off a member's floor and put thicker plywood down so he could put in tile!!    We did lots of serving this week!! Which reminded me of the story of Ammon in Alma 17 in the book of Mormon! Ammon goes to the land of Ish...

This week flew by wow!! Tuesday we did lots of service for a member in the Camden ward. He fed us hamburgers and they were really good. He's redoing his kitchen so we ripped out the flooring he had in there and then hung out with him and chilled.     Wednesday we just hung out in our little shack all day and friended people on face book!!! Thursday is when I ate the possum. It was actually ok. The member that made it had made the possum in to sausage so it didn't taste that bad and then they put it over noodles it was ok I was hoping I'd get to kill the first possum I ate here in south Carolina but I guess that'll have to happen later!   Friday we did more service for 2 members, the Napp family and Bobby Ravanski. The Napp family just had us do some yard work but Bobby had us dig trenches for plumbing which was quite fun if all you do usually is sit in your apartment on Facebook!!    Saturday, we went back to Bobby's to finish up and played in his game room...

Wow what a week this week was by far one of the best weeks I've had here I'm South Carolina!  We had zone conference on Wednesday and it was my first one as a missionary! It was cool to be around my zone and hear all about how they are all doing a lot of them are reassigned missionaries so I could talk in Portuguese with one of them but most of them spoke Spanish (which I can pretty much understand) so that's dope that day our president president Innes gave his farewell talk cause this is his last transfer it was awesome the way he speaks with the spirit its incredible even though I've only known him for 3 weeks I'm definitely going to miss him!!!  Thursday was the slowest day this week. we just went to the church and did Facebook finding with our District leader!!  And then Friday this is where the Baptist comes in lol we scheduled service that day at 11 with a member he's straight up the coolest guy his names Derick Swails he has this huge property where he li...

Wow this week flew by it feels like yesterday was last p day! Haha I guess what everyone says is true! Cause days are definitely long and weeks go by fast!!!  This week we were on facebook a lot trying to do finding and we've had no luck but we have 2 missionarys (the traveling trainers) coming tomorrow to teach us more about how to better find people so that should help!!  We also went to this huge party on Saturday with a member (it was out side so we could go) and the south is every thing I imagined it!! The food at the party was fried chicken and they had like 4 boxes of 150 pieces each!! Thet also had mac and cheese baked beans  corn and watermelon!!! We talked with lots of members and nonmembers there it was awesome super fun and got us out if the shack (our appartment) and that's all I got for this week!!!    This week I started the Book of Mormon over cause here in the Columbia mission they are doing a 90 day Book of Mormon challenge and I'm trying to ca...
