Letter #19

 Hey guys! 3 transfers down, onto the 4th! This one went by crazy fast, feels like I just got to Kanab a week ago. Transfer news came out Sunday night and found out that I get to stay here for another transfer! I'm super glad because it feels like we're finally getting some more momentum here in Kanab.


Well, to describe the week, we were able to do the spanish class, we ended up just going over the sounds of the english alphabet and some common words that they may use in there work place (they work in a hotel so words like bed, blankets, wash, bathroom, etc.)

I also had 2 back to back exchanges with the Kaibab Elders, Elder Rawlings and Elder Petramalo. (If you don't know, exchanges are just swapping companions with other missionaries for a day). Both are really cool guys, I learned a lot from both of them, esspecially about how I can be better talking to people while doing door to door contacts. 

We were not able to have a lesson with Dathon this past week but we have one set up for tomorrow, hoping it goes well!

We found someone knew to teach while we were out tracting one day, her name is Tammy and she told us that she just moved in a little bit ago and is looking for a church! I was like, well, do we got something for you! (I didn't say that out loud but that's what I was feeling). She loves Jesus and was super willing to take Book of Mormon and read it. She was able to feel the Spirit last time we met, looking forward to next time we meet with her!

One last exciting this week, I got to go to the temple for the first time on the mission! Our mission as a whole went to the temple in Cedar City and it was so nice. It was super relaxing and spiritually reviving. Glad I got to go!

Well that's all for now, hope you guys are having fun! Talk to you next week!

1-2: temple trip
3: pday with the boys

  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 ...
