September 28, 2015
Well here is the last week we had its been a good long hard ride and i am sad its come to an end but now more things are going to begin as well.
So Monday we ended up helping Amy move all of Jeremiah's stuff from his apartment to her's as he lost him housing due to getting arrested and she didn't tell his apartment manager cause she says its none of his business. So after we got done we had a lesson with Amerikiss and then we tried a couple 3 others then headed home.
Tue- We went out and helped Bro. Bryan move some stuff out of his garage and then moved more stuff back into it, Then we went to get some lunch at Mc'Ds as amy forgot she was going to feed us lunch I got a BBQ pork sandwich then we ate up and went to see Jeremiah, had a quick visit with him. We were supose to see Tiana with bro bryan but she had to work so we went to see Clair and Dalton as they were home we had a super Amazing lesson asked about baptism and what their hold ups were then he invited them over for dinner on sunday night. and church on sunday. After that we went to dinner with the franzlubbers and had a lesson on missionary work and we shared our testimonys of missionary work. Then we came back to town we saw Amerikiss again to finish up her lesson. Then we headed home.
Wed- We had a meeting in Omaha which took up all day it was for District Leaders and their companions and the zone leaders and sister training leaders. It was a great meeting i was sad thought it was at the end of my time as a district leader and not sooner but it was still good to be able to attend it. Then we went on exchanges with the Deer creek elders i went with Elder Telford and we had a super great lesson with one of their investigators we set her and her son both for baptism and they said yes!! Then we went to try 2 other people the one guy only spoke Italian so it was hard to speak to him. Then we headed for home watched it rain like crazy and we had some thunder that sounded like a bomb went off. Then we went to bed.
Thur- Was my last District Meeting and it was hard for me i really enjoyed the training for finding which i gave and then we went to lunch at Chik-fa-la and then we drove home we stopped by the doctors as i had thought i had an ear infection but had to schedule it for Friday. Then we had our baptismal interview for Amerikiss adn we didnt have a baptism form so we tried to one but couldn't she passed we just have to fill one out. Then we had dinner back out. We had a lesson with Amy with bro. Lloyd we were supose to see Josh but he was not home. Then Bro. Lloyd got us some Mc'Ds for dinner.
Fri- Went to the doctors i had some wax build up in my ear and they flushed it she said i had fluid on both ears so i got some meds to clear it up i hope it does before the plane ride home so. When we went to pick up my perscription we saw a less active sister Brown so we visited with her and then got our stuff we did some service at Joseph's Coat we moved all the box's and put them in order of years newest to oldest, then vacuumed went to dinner with sister Thompson. We had a lesson with Logan Otsby a new investigator we had a law of chastity lesson with him.
Sat- We got a text from the Schmidt's asking if we could help them with the lawn as joe broke his foot bad we figured it would be a good idea. So we went over helped out we ate some lunch joe showed us his new Mini Crossbow. Then we went out to Tekayma to try a less active named Ashley, her boyfriend said it was not a good time. So then we went by the Burt's and had a good time visiting with them. Then on our way home i let Elder Benally practice Drive home cause he is working to get his licence. So he almost drove off the road once but we made it then we hit a mud spot and he lost control and we hit the embankment on the right side of the road and broke off the fog light so i got in and got us unstuck then drove it home zip tied the plastic skirting back up and we went to dinner with the Lloyds we had hay stacks. Then we went out to the Mann's house to help work on the Apartment renovations. Stopped by to see Amy at the Gas station on the way home.
Sun- Was church we had 2 investigators come Josh who is 17 and Bridger from last week he came with his wife and kids. So it was really good Josh got to stay for 2 hrs then had to leave but it was good, after church we went to see sister golden and gave her the sacrament then we gave it to the Rodenbaughs. Then we went to see the Ward's and after that we went out to dinner with the Bryan's we had pizza in the Brick oven and some good pie for desert and then we had a couple other people i said good bye to and then we headed home.
Well I am filled with all sorts of emotions right now as i am finishing my last Email home as a missionary its crazy to see that 2 years went by in the Blink of an Eye and the song from Kenny Chesney Don't blink cause just like that you take a nap and you wake up and your on a mission. Next think i know i will be getting married and greater things will come I love you all thanks for all the suport and help you have all given me out here while i have served here in N.O.M!

Then moved a safe up to the Garage. Tried the 2nd one but it was way to much for the 2 of us to get up the stairs alone. Then we started on the Drop seiling for them. We ate some lunch visited. He told us about how he has his FFL licence. Then we had to go see Jeremiah with Bro. Lloyd so we left visited with him and then came back. Bro. North had to lay down so sister North had us do some stuff she needed done. Then i asked if she wanted us to finish the stuff he had us working on she said no. so we went got changed.

We also tried to see James Watt's ( white jame's) but he was out of town. Jenifer was looking for a new job as she got fired.

So when we were walking up to the house Bridger said to us " We are all Mormons here!" so i told him That's Great so are we. He had thought we were Jehovah witnesses but it turns out Bridger has not been baptized yet so we asked him. Would you like to be Baptized? and he said he would like to start coming to church so we are going to start teaching him.Then we wen to dinner with the Pond family we went to Jake's.

The Library was having a free lunch put on by the Washington county Bank so we ate there then we called to see if we could give any service at the rummage sale they said they wouldn't have much for us to do. so we tried to see everyone we could. Well then it was super nice out side so we walked around town figuring some one would be out well not one was due to the Apply jack festival in Nebraska city. Also the Huskers were playing so everyone i guess was preoccupied with other activity's. We were going to see Amy but she was sick. We tried the Campbell's but they didn't answer the door.

Then we had to go home get Elder Benally Service Cloths and then we drove up to Arlington to help clean up form the big sale they had this last week well they were basically done when we got there i guess clean up was easier than set up. So we drove back to Blair got changed took the sacrament to sister Golden, Then we tried a less active Sister Fimbrese she was sick so we texted her to see if she would like a blessing but she said no. So then we visited with this older guy in the park as he was watching his grand-kids for a while so i gave him a BHL card (because he lives card) #BECAUSE HE LIVES!

Well I love you all. Love Elder Lott

Here is the week!
Mon- We just chilled here in town cause Fremont went to Omaha for the day. It was nice to relax and do some stuff around the house.We went to see the Dick and Beth Rodenbaugh for about a half hour before we had dinner with the Lloyds and well we had given them a chicken to cook up for dinner so when we got there they said it had not cooked all the way through so they would fix up some steaks really quick well that didn't turn out so well either. But we enjoyed each others company and then had to head out for home.
Tue- We went out to Bro. Bryans and had some service time out there we cleaned up some shingles off the ground and then helped him patch some holes on the roof not being on the roof as we are trying to follow Presidents request to not be on them. Then we had to run into town to see Jeremiah, He is doing well he has been taking his BoM with him around the jail as he has been worried about what people might think but so far its been good. After him we were supose to move some hay but that was postponed for later. We got to meet Jenifer she is a new investigator that we met trying to see her sister but she got up to leave and so we talked with Jenifer shared the Restoration have her a book of Mormon and then invited her to come to church. We Helped a member move a huge cabinet back onto the wall and it was much easier this time with 5 guys rather than 3 the first go round. Then we raced to get dinner from Sister Hager she made us dinner to pick up as her husband is out of town. Then we went to go Home Teaching with Brother Bryan to see the Craigs brother Craig just got out of prison so it was good to see him. Then we went and ate dinner really quick. Then we went over to see the Steve and Jana Rodenbaugh. They told us how they are getting a house as the one they are renting just got put up for sale.
Wed- We went to town and saw sister Golden we played one round of Kings in the corner and then got a call saying the were ready to start bailing hay so we shared a scripture and then we changed and headed out to see the Burt's to help them with the hay project. We Moved 130 bales and loaded them into a trailer to be taken out to Colorado for his daughters horse. Then we visited for about 15 minutes then Mark Hannah said he wanted to take us to get a milkshake before he had to be in for work. and while we were going he stopped in town to introduce us to Tiana at the Shell Gas Station she was not in then so he said we should try back later. Then we went to Burger King to get our milk shake then there he wanted to introduce us to Gabriel who works there both of them he had visited with previously and said he had some friends that could help them out. Can you guess who they were Yes US!!! Then we had to go to dinner at the Solheims and it was a good time it was the first time in like 20 years they have had the missionaries in their home as her husband donesnt like the missionaries or the church so sinvce he was gone for work we we ate with them.
Thur- District Meeting. Went had a good time there and Elder Pitcher gave a great first training for us and then I gave one on how we can use the Ward Councel to help our investigators have a better time at church. Then we had lunch at BK. Went to look at this thrift store one of the elders was talking about well it was not thrift store it was a fancy cloth store expensive then we came to town.
Fri- Was kind for a slow morning for us. We had some Weekly Planning then we went out to see Jeremiah and tried to meet up with some Potential Investigators and most of them were busy so we did some tracting stopped to talk with this guy working on a retaining wall he said he didn't need help and he was Lutheran but not practicing cause he like to sleep in on Sunday. Then we had dinner at sister Thompsons and had hamburger and hot dogs. They were having a Fire side put on by the BYU football team and so we were trying to find some one to go with casue we new it was gong to be amazing. Well by the time we found some one to go. We had no Ride. So we started calling people Left and right and no one was available to bring us down the couple them selves couldnt drive cause neither one had a licence to do so. So please when there are activitys like this check with the missionaries to see if there is anythings you can do to help them get there with Investigators cause they may NEED it.
Sat- We went to see Dalton and had a good visit for about an hour with him he is a former by the YSA elders and we started teaching him and he has a lot of questions about the Restoration and the Plan Of Salvation and the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. We tried to answer some of them but set up a time to come back on Friday. Then we watched the Football Game we ended up at the phillip 66 gas station for a while until we had to go to dinner so we didnt get to see the epic ending to the game. But dinner was good we had a BBQ with 4 familys and had a good time visiting then saw Amy.

But he came to church and was early cause he couldnt get hold of us cause our Phone Service stinks out here.

Mon-This week has been a good one for us we went Fishing for p-day last week had a good time we caught a good number of fish. Our Dinner cancelled so we went to another members house.
Tue- I am not really sure what we did. we did go to see the Otsby's they told us that there was a guy named Jeremiah who got arrested on Sunday evening so we went to see Amy to see what happened. She told us that they were having a BBQ for there brother in law and he was talking mean to Amy so Jeremiah told him to stop so he preceded to assault Jeremiah then the cops were called due to the fact Jeremiah apparently Stabbed his Brother - in - Law. Then they transferred him to Columbus NE due to there was no AC here at the jail.
Wed- We to attend his court hearing but we were not told the time and it had already happened. So some more taracting.
Thur- We had District Meeting which didn't happen but let me tell you why. So on our way there we got a call from Elder Lee who is in charge of the cars so he left a message telling us that the Deer Creek Elders who are in my district. had been in a car accident the day before and that Elder Martinez had a minor concussion and so i called them to see how they were feeling they said not so good so were going to meet them at their apartment so they asked if we would get a free pizza first so we went pick up the pizza and then we went to the apartment had planned to have short meeting due to our time was all messed up but as it happened the meeting didn't then the zone leaders showed up with more pizza and then we visited a little more them we left. We stopped in Ft. Calhoun to see Greg. Then we went to the house dropped off a few things then we headed into town. We had an appointment with the Hall's family and we went over and talked about the Deity of Christ, It was hard due to they didnt read the same bible as us to begin with then they have different meaning for words so it was challenging but good.
Fri- We Walked into town and the Heat Index for the Day was 108 degrees so yes it was HOT!!! But we did it with a smile on our faces. We walked to where we were told the Relief Society would be meeting but they were not there. So we went to tracting and since it was so hot not many people were out and about but we made the best of the day any how.
Sat- We went played football in Omaha and it was a good turn out. I played with no shoes on again and Elder Williams had a pair of Track shoes and as he was covering me he stepped on my heal and cut me up. We came home got cleaned up and went out get Tyler to have him come out with us but no one was home. So we went out by our selves and had a lesson with a couple we met when i unlocked their car. We taught them and their room mates the Restoration and gave on a book of Mormon he would only take it if we took his Alcohol anonymous book. So I told him deal i don't think he thought i would do it but it went well they said they would read and pray and come to church.
Sun- Well we went to have break fast with the Campbell's before we went to church. It was good we had biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs. Then we went to church no one came but Amy did after she got off work which was good she had a good time. Then we went had dinner with the Jensen's family had a lesson about strengthening our faith. Well i hope everyone has a great week Love Elder Lott

June 29, 2015
Well this week was freaking Amazing!!! So let me tell you a little about it!
Mon- We were able to go fishing and we went to a lady's pond she told us we could fish but if was catch and release and it was a blast we caught some bluegills then we got tired of fighting with them so i decided to try my luck on some Large Mouth bass and i struck Gold i was catching them every cast and i think it was bothering Elder Williams cause all he was pulling in was moss. So i hooked him up with the same thing and he he found Gold as well. Then i also almost got my hands on a Snapping Turtle it was cumming up for some air and i was hoping it would come up all the way so i could us my Turtle man ( Yeee ye Live Action!!) on it but it dove down and i couldn't come up with a reason to go after it. Our dinner had to cancelled on us so we ended up trying to get blessed with dinner as we went around. (due to Elder Williams not shaving we didn't get dinner!!!!! )
Tue- We went out to help Bro. Bryan and we moved a freezer into the bakery from the basement of the house and it was a little challenge for us be we got it done. After we went over to see the Reeds and Bro. Reed was home but he told us he had not read what we had asked him to or been Reading or Praying with his wife so we talked for a couple 3 minutes then had to leave so he could finish up his work we offered to help but he declined.
Wed- We went to District meeting and it was good as we have been trying to bring up new ways for us to do our Commitments as we want to have more accountability for ourselves when we talk about the things we did during the week. I also have changed the way i am doing training's i don't call and assign then for that week they all come prepared to give one and i call upon some one there to give it so they can all come more prepared and with more things to share with us all. After the meeting I had the opportunity to give a Baptismal Interview for Tatiana who the Eagle run sisters teach and it went well she passed and will be baptized in a week form Saturday.
Thur- Was a good day we were able to go out on Splits due to myself double booking ourselves but in the end it worked out. So Elder Williams went to see the Hall's family with Bro. Broadhead and they had a super good evening with them. Bro. Glenn came out with me and we saw Jacalynn and she said it was not a good time to come by so we then went to see Jeremiah and we had a very good visit with him we watched a couple of Mormon Messages and then talked about them and i felt inspired to Invite him to be baptized and so i did and he said he want to pray about it first to make sure but that his heart says to say yes so i know he will be Baptized.
Fri- Was a slow day we went to see Kris we gave her kids the children's Book of Mormon and she said to shoot her a text to set up next visit. Then we got a car was from the dance girls now i know what your thinking but no their is a member here who teaches Irish dancing for the Primary aged girls and so we felt we could contribute to there trip fund. Then we went to take Greg White one of our Less Active to the Trail Center for a Fire side but he tried to cancel on us so we drove up to get him and take him but he was out and about so we waited for him to come home and then he still said no and so kind of up set i didn't get to go now we went to see another less active and she wasn't home so things building up for me but then we were blessed with a miracle we saw the Reed's stranded on the side of the road so we stopped to see if we could help them out and i guess the car just died and so we pushed if off to the side of the road and they had to drop off some stuff for some friends and then they would pull it home later but they were shocked we were there and thought some how the other one had told us they were there and neither of them did. So it was quite humbling for me to see how the lord places us some times for other reason if we had not gone to get Greg we wouldn't have been there to help them so remember next time things don't go how you think it should have work it may mean some thing else.
Sat- We were able to take out Brenner Mann one of the Priest's in the branch adn so we went to see a Investigator and a Less Active in Arlington first then We went to lunch with the Claussens and had a good visit with them then we went to Tekahma to see some of the Less Active who live out North we don't get to see as much and it was good we were able to meet some new people which was great.
Sun- Was crazy with great Blessing so First off we invited Jeremiah again to church this time he text us saying he was lost trying to find the church so i tried to direct him but due to his hard time telling me where he was i told him to stay where he was and we would find him and then he would follow us to the church building. We got him to church he as all dressed up and everything he had a good time everyone came up and talked to him introducing them selves to him and we had a full class for Gospel Principles and he stayed all 3 hrs then we took him home he wanted to feed us so he gave us some chips some fruit and water. Then we went out with Bro. Lloyd who is our Branch Mission Leader as we were out we saw a couple cars on the side of the road so we feeling prompted to stop so we did and they were trying to get the idler pulley off his jeep to change the alternator but due to the lack of tools they cut the belt to get the alternator off then we got some proper tools and got the pulley but the belt was whipping us as there was no diagram of how it should go so bro. Lloyd call in some back up from the shop he worked at who got it figured out for us and get them on there way but we gave the guy a Book of Mormon and a card to call us since he is moving into our area soon. Well i hope you all have a great week and be looking for all those unplanned opportunity's to share the Gospel Love you all Love Elder Lott

Mon- we went fishing again no luck elder Williams almost did some hillbilly hand fishing but was a little slow and missed the big fish swimming by the shore.
Tue_ we went out to Bro. Bryan's and helped him put on a screen door for the bakery. We had a police officer stop us and give us some nice cold water during our hot walk out side a super sweet tender mercy of the Lord!
Wed- Was a lot of walking around we stopped in to see a couple we visited a couple weeks back and dropped off some talks on family and marriage and Committed him and his wife to read the Book of Mormon together and see what changes it would bring to his family and life. While trying a potential we saw a demented cat with a jacked up face missing a ear its jaw was like half there and its eyes were starange wish i had my camera to have taken a picture of it so you would all know a little better what i mean. But better than that we were able to teach her Neighbor Criss and we read 2 Nephi ch.2 about why there is opposition in all things.
Thur- we had zone training and it was nice i sat next to sister Weston and it was great all about working with getting our investigators to come to church.
Fri- We had exchanges i went with elder Jensen from the winter quarters YSA ward and we did some yard work for one of our Investigators who took a trip to Idaho to see a Missionary who served here a couple 3 years back and then his appendices had to be taken out so we mowed and stuff for him so he wouldn't try to do it when he got home. Then we went and saw the claussens in Arlington and had a super good lesson on church and reading our scriptures but sadly they didn't come on Sunday.
Sat- We went out to help a ward member the Fullmers Move their old land lord then while we were there we were able meet a less active who just moved here a while ago and didn't know where the church building was so we will start working with her. Then after we got done we went home got cleaned up and i was texting Jeremia to see what he was up to and he was changing his Radiator so i asked if he wanted some help and he said yes so we went out and it was good we did cause early this week he stabed him self in the thumb and really messed up his hand so we were a lot of help cause he couldnt really do much but we got it done. Then they fed us dinner and we read the Introduction of the Book of Mormon, Testimony of the 3 and 8 witnesses and invited him to church. Then we went out cleaned up and headed home.
Sun- went to church had some great talks visited with the Branch President and Branch Mission Leader about how we can help our less actives and Investigators to come to church. Visited a less active and a couple 3 investigators but since it was Fathers day i think most everyone was out with family so not as many visits as we were hoping for but it was good Love you Elder Wyatt P Lott.

After that we went to see Kelsey and Joe they told us that they would be having their Baby Shower on Friday and they had not told really anyone from the Branch so we said they needed to get on the ball and spread the word as well as we would. So we went to have dinner at the Roadenboughs and had some really good white chili and I was going to tell Sister Roadenbough is in the Relief Society so she could spread the word through all the sister in the Branch.
