  What's going on everybody! I don't have too much from these past 4 days but we had a lot of fun! First of all, happy Memorial Day! I truly am grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy and for all those who made those freedoms possible, especially our Father in Heaven.  Alright, so the night before Elder Stucki left we met with a less active member named Steven, and he brought his nonmember  friend Andre from Bangladesh with him. They recently had some expiriences that motivated them to turn towards God, Steven wanted to come back to the path and have the Spirit with him again and Andre wanted to figure out how growing a relationship with God can benefit him.  He is so awesome and one of my favorite things about him is that he is not afraid to ask questions! Our lesson that we had, as short as it was, was very refreshing to say in the least and got me thinking of my answers and knowledge of what I teach. Preparation and having the Spirit with you is the key! Friday an...

  Hey whats up everybody! Sorry this email is a bit late, truth is they changed our preparation day from Monday to today because of transfers, which are happening tomorrow! (This will just be once every six weeks, every other pday will go back to monday) We got news last night, and I'm staying in Ephraim! Elder Stucki is getting transferred down to St. George, and I'm sorry to see him go, what a fire missionary! My new companion is Elder Williams and he'll be the new district leader for the transfer. This week was kinda hard, we've had some trouble getting our friends to meet with us, just because of family stuff, sports, and whatever else. Other than that though, the week was actually pretty great, we've knocked a lot of doors and have been getting to meet so much more people! One of my favorite contacts from this week was a guy from north Africa, and I can't remember how to say or spell his name but he was a very cool guy. He's Muslim and he has a very goo...

  Hey! What's goin' on everybody? This week was awesome, Elder Stucki and I had a lot of fun and met a lot of amazing people! One of the people that we met is named Jimmy and he's a nonmember, worked with the missionaries in the past quite a bit but hasn't committed to baptism yet. He's got a cool story actually, he's got some family tjat are members and when he was younger he went to church a lot and even went out on splits with the missionaries, making visits with them, teaching lessons, and talking with people so despite not being a member yet, he und understands quite a bit! The lesson we had with him was awsome, he is a really deep thinker, like deep deep stuff, and has a lot of interesting views on the current world and the things that are going on.  His reason for not committing yet was the fact that he struggles to see God in people. He sees a lot of people professing to be disciples of Christ but not really living their supposed standards; he sees a lot...

  Hey everybody, what's goin' on! Sorry for missing last weeks email, I'll try to make up for it here. These past two weeks have gone by fast, and since we don't have very many people that we are teaching we've spent most of our time trying to find more people that will listen to us. Haven't really had toooooo much success setting up any appointments to where we could start teaching but we've had a lot of good contacts at the door! We've met so many cool people, like just yesterday we knocked on a Catholic families door and talked to one of their sons who is moving out and going up to Orem and had a good 20 minute conversation with him about the immense amount of good that a relationship with Christ can bring.  It's so amazing to see that despite everybody's differences Christ cam bring us all together, so for all of you, go out and talk to people, make friends and build relationships! Bring up what you love, what you do, what you believe! Talk a...
