Letter #34

 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 about their lives too and you'll be surprised at how much people will talk back, I promise!

We also met with the Gankhuyag family (we just call them the G family cause we cant pronounce their name), they're Mongolian and the coolest family ever!! They had us over for dinner with a nonmember we've been trying to teach, her name is Amy and she's from one of the Koreas. They are among the most missionary-minded people I've ever met and LOVE to share their testimonies! Amy really doesn't have any background on religion so it might take a while for her to understand the gospel, but with the G family and some help from the Lord, anything is possible with her!

College just ended last week and now most of our YSA work just ended with it, just about all of the student body has gone back to wherever home is so kind of a bummer for us, but we'll make the best of it, we got a lot of doors to knock here!

Overall the work is a bit slow at the moment, we did have Niko on date for this upcoming Saturday but due to a death in the family it has to be postponed for now, so please keep Niko and his mom on your prayers! They're in need of a lot of comfort!

That's all for now, enjoy the warmer weather!

  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 ...
