Letter #28

 What's up guys! How's everybody doing? Honestly, nothing crazy happened this week so I'll just give you a quick run down of everything.


Monday evening after pday we went to one of the YSA (young single adult, can't remember if I already said that or not) activities, they had a lot of rootbeer floats and afterwards made soda rockets with the empty soda bottles. We never got to see the rockets take off though, we had to leave early for a lesson, kinda disappointed.

Tuesday nothing too big happened, visited a few of the members and shared a quick message with them and did some door knocking. Wednesday we had a lesson with Michael and went over the Plan of Salvation. I'm gonna say it again but he is doing very well, I'm excited to have his baptism here in a little bit! We also had a lesson with Ann and talked about some of her fears about fully committing to the church. One of the things that she brought up is "what is He going to make me go through?" She was scared of all the hard things that could happen if she fully turned to Christ, which is a very valid fear, one which I kinda have myself.

Now I don't know exactly how much she took from what we said, but I had a cool expirience of my own. Elder Brown and I testified of Christ's atonement and all the things He went through, which was everything, and how He can support us because of it. Also, do our trials not make us better, stronger people? We all go through challenges, that's not the question, but what is the question is do we want suffer alone or do we want Christ at our side? For me, I'd rather not be alone in my trials. It takes some faith and trust but the Lord will never let us down. It will be worth it in the end.

Thursday through Saturday we're just  normal days, more visits and knocking doors, Sunday was a good relaxing day. Today for pday we played in the snow for a little bit, walked through the "Belly of the Dragon", (one of the caves out here) and then played some pickleball. 

Well, I hope all of you enjoyed your week, 'till next time!

  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 ...
