Letter #15

 Merry Christmas everybody! I can't believe Christmas is only 6 days away, it feels like we just had Christmas the other day! Time is just flying by. 


Christmas is a wonderful time to be able to think obout our Savior and being a missionary makes it even better. I get the opportunity to focus on the Savior 24/7 without having to worry about work, school, or really just normal life in general. One thing that I have been really pondering about is His love for us. I love Romans 8: 35-39 because of how it describes this love for us, especially in verse 39, 

"Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

One of the questions that ive been thinking is how have I felt His love in my life and I wanted to ask you guys that. How have you been able to feel His love, and, how can you share that love with others this Christmas season? 

Sunday was probably my favorite day of the past week, we go to 4 sacrament meetings here in the Kanab area each Sunday and then after all those we have a few other meetings so there's not too much time for anything else, but we were able to squeeze in 2 nonmember lessons, one with a guy named Michael and then another with 2 ladies named Christina and Tez. They both were fire lessons and the people enjoyed them a lot! We didn't have plans for either of them, they just kinda popped up. It made me realize how important it is for us to keep out hearts and minds open so we don't miss opportunities like those, not just as missionaries but for each of you too. 

Today was fun, for pday we went to the Coral Pink Sand dunes national park and went sledding down some of the dunes and boy, was it a blast. Best pday ever!

Well, that's it for now, hope you guys have a great week!

  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 ...
