Well this week was good I got to Go to my favorite little big town called Lexington or AKA Mexington.

Well Monday we drove to Lex and when we got there the AP's had already beaten us its funny how they always seem to be on time or early every other time than on transfer day so it was a quick good by from there. Where i would be staying with Elder Edwards

Tue- First we went to a less actives home to help move some scrap wood form the ramp they took out in the front of the house because i have a truck so we did that then we took some other junk over to the dump and then went out to Johnson Lake to try and visit some of the Investigators and Less Actives that were there so we went out and we got to see a couple but not everyone was home or able to have us stay we did see this crazy thing were a woman was living in a garbage can to get away from her kids which is sad and crazy and weird. but it was not to bad.

Wed- Was district meeting which was in away strange not having to one leave so early and not having to travel out of town for the meeting but i was lucky enough to get to give a training on how we can make our message more meaningful my centering our message on Familys and it went very well. The other training was on Researching our Ancestors  then they asked everyone to share their family stories they were supose to memories for Zone Training this week.

Thur- We had Calls coming from President Weston to tell us who our comps would be and if we were training well Elder Edwards got a call but i did not get one so we went out to Gothemburg to help Bro. Sanders out on his ranch which was fun we ran some Electric fence and some Barbed wire and got rid of some unwanted trees for him. then when we got home from that one we went back to eh family who we moved the wood for to move some sand and found out they wanted us to take out there whole front yard and move the sand to get dirt which is silly cause its is super good soil already so it didnt work out for us but we got fishing licence so fish the pond they live by and Elder Edwards caught a good size Large mouth bass which was fun.

Fri- we got a call saying we had to meet the transfer van in Kearny so we jumped in the truck and tried to find the place they were hiding at which was a big apple easy to see if it wasn't behind the other stores and on the front of the building but i found it and got my comp Elder Kunzler who is form Northern Utah from a ranch out there his folks run so this is home and headed home stopped and ate with the Branch Misson Leader then came home and unpacked.

Sat/Sun- we went around visiting people so Elder Kunzler could get familiarized with the area and people. Went to church didnt have to tell his stories to many times over again but had a good day Anna and Alaina both bailed on us Alaina's boy friends daughter was sick and Anna slep in which should not have happened due to i set an alarm for her which woke her up the last two weeks she didnt come so oh well will keep  working on them both  well hope you all have a wonderful week love Elder Lott.

Well here's a glimpse's of what we got to do this week.

So Monday- we decided since it was such nice weather we would go to the Golf course and go hit a few balls at the driving range heres how it went

​
Tuesday- We got a call from a lady named Sonia who wanted help from us to clean out her Strawberry patch well we raked just about everything out of it for her not so sure she will have us back over ha-ha Just kidding we did a good job she said it was wonderful. After that we took off to Pam's Place to help finish up the Corals for her horses after we got done we went home changed cloths and went to the Holt's for dinner  since elder Bosen was leaving they asked what he wanted was home made pizza. Then we were going to go over to the Magee's for a blessing but he was not home from work so he asked us to wait a day.

Wed- We yep you guessed it went to Zone Training in North Platte which was good we had training on the importance of  following up when we leave commitments and watch a video Called 'DAYTONS LEG'S' which was super good if your looking for something to lift you up for the day thats a great video. Then after that we went to Hershey to help Bro. McConnell with some fencing work he had for us to do and we got half of the holes dug the Barbed wire laid out and all the post set out before the rain and stuff made us quite for the evening so we ate with his family and Sister McConnell made Home Made Pizza which was super good so we raced home got cleaned up and went over to the Magee's to give Brody a blessing before he went in for his Bone graft and had a rod put in his big toe because he couldn't move it.

Thur- We went into the saddle shop and had just missed the tore he gave to his daughters 2nd grade class but while we were there we watched as he put a new seat in a saddle some one brought into get some repair work done on it after that we went to see Brother Teter who we had not seen since Sunday night he took us to dinner to Dairy Queen after that we went to see Anna and she told us she would be coming to church on Sunday and i set an alarm on her phone to make sure she didn't sleep in again. Then we went to see Jordan an investigator and we talked with him cause we hadn't seen him for a week or so as well which was good played some cards which was fun.

Fri- We were going to take a bed and a dresser out to Kat's place but she called us and told us not to come so we Tried Bob Flood but he told us he didn't have anything to do either so we did our Deep Clean of our apartment which was good to get done before we had to be out of town so we went to see the Brawley's who we hadn't see for a little while as well they offered to feed us so we ate with them and talked about coming to church when it warms up cause he doesn't want to have car problems on a cold day then we went to see Pam at Denny's cause she wanted to feed us for working on Tuesday but since we had eaten already we just got Blueberry milkshakes which were really good then we went by the Jeffer's to see when they would like us to come over to Skype on Sunday they were having their sons birthday party since he was home from Collage so they told us to call them after church and they would let us know.

Sat- well as you can see we went to Bro. McConnell's for Branding so we got there worked the Cow's first gave them their shots and Vaccines then we started on the Calves but i gave my job to Elder Bosen and helped Wrestle the Calves which was fun and hard only ended up with bruises on 85% and then things got heated up and nuts were a flying literally of my body so not to bad then they had us over for dinner again after then we wanted to catch Drakes Graduation party so we headed for there and when we got there it was all over and just cleaning up what was left out.

Sun- Was kinda nasty we had rain all day and Anna cancelled on coming to church due to the weather being to cold for her neropathy but we had a good time we had Fast and Testimony Meeting was good lots of good things were shared then we headed home and went to the Jeffers so we could Skype and after a little confusion we got things going and it was great to see everyone Well i hope everyones mothers day was good and hope everyone is doing well Love Elder Lott

May 8, 2014

Well this past week was good but slower that we planed and wanted it to be but we made the best we could out of it so here it is!

Mon- well we got a call from Don baker (Jake's father-in-law) asking if we could help him move some stuff from his wife's house ( an assisted living home) well i couldn't tell him NO cause i am always wanting people to ask for our help so we went and helped him in a torenches down pore of Rain and we went to load up a old book shelf which didn't fit in his trailer so we took that back in and loaded up a couch and took it to his house and then the Holt's told us due to the weather they wanted to wait to move stuff on Tuesday.

Tue- We got asked to help Sister Bates clean out her garage and take a load of stuff to the good will trailer so we cleaned out the bed of the truck so there would be room for everything and headed over when we got there we called he she came out opened the Garage and we see 4 boxes in the middle of the floor she tells us that's all i have for today and 2 were not even full of stuff like 5 idem's is them but we loaded them up and took them to the Good Will trailer that came down from North Platte so we got done with that job and went over to the Holt's and no one was home so we thought they must be at the other house waiting for us went there still no one so we called and they forgot to tell us that they wanted to wait again for Wednesday so we went home changed and went to the Brawleys and visited with them.

Wed- Well like usual we were headed to North Platte for  District Meeting and we were able to enjoy a training by Sister Gullage which was centered around the Priesthood which turned out fairly well then we went and got Little Ceasars Pizza for lunch took it back to the church and ate and talked for a while then we all had to depart ways and head home so we got home and got changed and went to help the Holt's again and this time we got there and yep you guessed it they were home yippee so we ate dinner we had Crunch Raps she found on Pintrist which turned out really well and they had a mouse running around too which made the night Fun for us haha i got to get a pan out of the cabinet to make sure there was no mouse luckily no mice were in there but we get ready to go move stuff so we got to the house and moved a treadmill, a table, a mirror to the house and had to move an old TV from the basement which was easyer than we made it on ourselfs but we got it done then we moved the couches from the Basement to the living room up stairs then I found a wad of something that kind looked like a mouse so play a trick with all i will say is it worked really well.

Thur- We were supose to help Pam Allen but before that Don Baker called and wanted us to help him so we agreed to so we tried round two on the Book case with a horse trailer which was not quite tall enough to stand it up in so we had to lay it down and then put a bed in also and took the bed to a storage spot he had some other stuff and took the shelf to his house. then he took us to Lunch at Front Street steak house which was good then we went to Pam's and she wasnt home so we tried her phone no luck so we waited for an hour and a half before heading back to town where we stopped to help Jake in the shop he was making a pare of shap's so not to much he had for us to due but he asked if i would sew them for him but i let him do these ones then we had two Branch missionarys come down and take us to dinner and then we took them to meet more people in the area and Branch it was fun to take them to meet people.

Fri- we were going to help the MaGee's with there garden at 10 but Don called again and asked for some move help for about an hour so even though Elder Bosen wasn't feeling well i made him help Don but then he didn't want to help them and chance getting them sick so we cancelled that and had a sick day on the nicest day of the week which stunk but what do ya do.

Sat- We went to Stake Conference which we had to be in Kearny for that meeting and we left here at 1:00 due to some worrie that we would be late if we didn't from our ride Bro. Lunsford and made it early but wasn't bad at all we as the North Platte Zone got asked to give a musical number Called to Serve but it was good then after conference we made it home luckily before curfew.

Sun- We went to North Platte for the second part of the meeting and was late to that meeting due to our Ride and some construction work being done but was able to make it to most of the meeting. Well i hope everyone is doing well. Love Elder Lott

April 28, 2014

Well here is the best week of my life. (every week is the best week)

Mon- P-day was good Elder Bosen has been dying (ha-ha get it) anyways to go play some golf so since it was so nice and we had clubs we had to go hit 90 balls at the driving range and luckily none broke this time Dad :) but we had a good time then we putted for a little while then we headed home and Jordan Called and wanted to go to the park and throw the Frisbee around for a while so we did that then went to the soccer ball, then we went to the hacky sack which i am not very good at but we had a good time with it and just enjoyed being out side.

Tue- we went to help Pam who needed some help getting some Corals built for her horses cause they are going to drop some colts soon so we fought mother nature with her 40 mph winds and dust storms to get it done for her then the horses got out and so I Wrangled them all back for her then she took us to lunch. got a call from Crazy Sandy K. who had a stroke in her Eye this last week and she is blind in one eye know kinda crazy deal. we had dinner with the Holt's and gave their son a blessing to help him he possibly has bad allergies as a 2 year old which is sad but he seems to be doing much better.

Wed- We had to go to North Platte for District Meeting even though we were not sure we would be able to make it due to a mileage cut in the middle of the month but we made it with a few to spare for 1 day which was 50. where we learn about using our member more in our areas and also using Ward/Branch Correlation meetings. Went and had lunch together then we all went our separate ways. we went to dinner with bro. Teter and then went with him to help him with his Home teaching we saw Sister Bates and the Brawley's then we stopped by Greg for a very lengthy visit with him.

Thur- Started off like every other day until a knock on our door brought TROUBLE to us it was Christina John Morris Ex- girlfriend she told us he was going nuts and called the cops on her for braking into his apartment and tried to lay hands on her the day before and so we told her we would talk to him. We got a call from him a while later telling us he was going to Colorado for the weekend to visit his family and that his son was still not doing well he had to be Revived again this week and he was not doing well at all but it was a good idea for him to visit family to get him out of town for a while to cool off but said he would go to church while he was there. that's where he was Baptized too also stopped and talked to Anna for a while too.

Fri- we went into the Saddle shop to see if we would help Jake with anything when we got there his Mom was there but not him she told us that his Mother in law had passed away the day before and they were out taking care of things with that but i helped his mom fix a breast collar put a snap on for a guy on his gun case and Jake gave us the number of a guy who was branding some Cows on saturday encase we needed something to do asked jake if he had heard from Greg recently cause he wasn't answering his phone but when we were there he called and we left to go see him so we talked he apparently had to go take care of some business so thats why he was gone for so long.

Sat- We went to the Jeffers to help them Build a Patio next to there Fire Ring which was quite the chore but we had a good time with it i worked on cleaning bricks to lay then we went to go get Sand from the Lake then we put a layer of sand down and started to lay bricks then found out we would have to lay North to South to get them to fit like he wanted but we used every last brick he had to get it all done but get it done after that we get cleaned up and went to Anna's for dinner she gave us a meat loaf to take home then we went to see Alaina Wright a less active she told us she would come to church with her cousin who was there with her then we went and tried Vince a referral we had gotten he answered this time after 5 minutes on the porch he invited us in we taught the Restoration as best we could with how he was asking his questions which was what we were trying to tell him so we left him with the pamphlet and told asked him to read over it with his wife and to give us a call if he had any questions or needed anything then left  with a prayer but it was good.

Sun- we got a call from Alaina W she would not be coming to church again 3 weeks now greg bailed on us and we got to church i was standing at the door opening it for members as they showed up and the Magees came again 2 weeks in a row so the up side was we did have a less active come anyways which was good came home we tried a few Less actives talked to Greg he thinks he wants to move to Billings to work for Ben Swanky a saddle maker rather than working for Jake Vanhorn here dont get him some times but oh well i just hope he makes up his mind and does it rather than fly by night.

  Well I hope every ones doing well Love Elder Lott
