Letter #23

 Well guys, I don't have much to say this week for real this time. Anyways, Elder Smith got sick last Monday evening and stayed sick all the way through Friday. He spent his time in bed and I spent my time staring at the wall, playing with a Rubiks cube, cleaning, some contacting, basically not much at all. I did listen to like 40 of Elder Hollands talks though, it was almost like general conference again. Anyways, this past week was a little rough. I have no idea how missionaries during Covid did it, a week is bad enough, I can't imagine 2 years staying in the apartment. 


We were able to go back out Saturday though and let me tell yah, best day ever! Knocking doors never felt so good. Sunday we gave some talks in church and had a lesson with Tikva, which went pretty well. We were talking about baptism and she finally opened up with some questions and concerns and we were like "Yes! Finally!!" The discussion we had was amazing and I know that she was able to feel the Spirit, at least a little bit. We invited her to ponder and pray over everything that was said before our next meeting, which I can't wait for! 

Today for pday we got to go help butcher some heifers with Tikva and her husband  Sean, which was great cause we got some free hamburger out of it, pictures of the process below.

Well hope your guys week went better than mine, talk to yah next week!

1. Sick day
2. Meat processing

  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 ...
