Letter #8

 Hey guys! How's everybody doing? Sorry if this email is a little short, things went a little slow this week. 


We did have one really good thing happen though, we've been meeting with a lady named Nancy ever since I've been on the mission and she has made a lot of progress so far. This last Saturday we asked her what she thought she needed to do next to come closer to Christ and she came to the conclusion that she needed to get baptized! The Spirit was super strong during this time and we were able to set her up to get baptized on the 12th, at least at first. We are going to have to push it back a little bit now because she missed church this past Sunday (It's a requirement to go to church at least 3 times before a person can get baptized in this mission and she needed to go to church this past Sunday to be able to have 3 before the 12th). It wasn't her fault really, her husband is having health issues and she had to take care of him, but hopefully they'll be able to work things out. She wants to get baptized though, and we will continue to help her in any way we can to help her accomplish her goal!

I was also able to give a priesthood blessing to anther lady we are teaching named Sue, she's about to have neck surgery and is a little worried about it so she asked us to give her a blessing. After the blessing she said she already felt a little bit better! I'm glad for the progress she's made as well and for the opportunity to work with her as well. A lot of people are just so amazing if we take the time to get to know and help them. 

Well anyways, that's all for now, thanks for all the emails you guys have been sending, sorry if I don't respond to you, just know that I do read them! Good luck to you guys!

  Yo what's up everybody! We're quarter of the way done already! Only 18 more months to go! Also this transfer is up, it absolutely jusr flew by.  So we got transfer news last night and turns out I get to stay another transfer here in Kanab! Elder Smith sadly got kicked out, he's going to St. George somewhere but best of luck to him! It was a fun 12 weeks with yah buddy! My new companion is Elder Brown, don't know too much about him but it should be all good.  This last week was great, again nothing too much went on, just doing a lot of contacts and door knocking. It was all pretry normal until Sunday which was a blast. First we gave a talk in Orderville 1st ward about the Sermon on the Mount and how Christ's teachings has helped on the mission, which went great, giving a talk is such easier now out on the mission. Also, after the Young Single Adult sacrament meeting, Michael McDonald (I forgot if I've already told you guys about him, if not he's an investig...

  How's it going everybody? This week has been a little better for us, we were finally able to go out and work finally! I've got some bad news though, Daisons baptism didn't end up happening, he decided he wasn't ready for baptism yet and asked us to try again later. On top of that Tikva said she didn't want to take the lessons anymore for the time being so that's a bummer. We will keep trying with both of them though, the wards here are doing a great job of reaching out and fellowshipping them! Please keep Daison and Tikva in your prayers! We were able to meet with another person this week, her name is Ann and turns out she lives right behind us. She is amazing though, she loves the church and the community, she has a few minor things holding her back from joining. But with some time she'll come around.  This weekend Kanab put on a event called Ballons and Toons, they had a bunch of hot air balloons and bands and street vendors and booths. There was also a ...

  Hello! What's going on! This email is just going to be a quick one and I just wanted to share something that I've learned. We had zone conference last Thursday and the focus was having faith in Jesus Christ. Without faith centered on Him, we can do nothing and so I have focused on increasing my faith in Him. But you know what? This past week has been among the hardest weeks faith wise on the mission yet. We have not been seeing the success that we've wanted and it has been discouraging and hard, but one thing I noticed today is that we've had more successes that I've realized, such as our friends Skyla (who is getting baptized at the end of the month) and Braxton coming to church this Sunday! We've also been able to have quite a few lessons with our nonmember friends as well and we've really gotten to know the area good.  This feelings of discouragement and doubt I now realize were not my own thoughts and feelings, but that of the devil attempting to halt ...
