Letter #38

 Howdy everybody, what's been going on? Sorry for the lack of emails on my part for the past 2 weeks, I've had some technical difficulties with my phone not sending and then deleting my drafts at random. So annoying.


Well anyways the past few weeks have been awesome! Just in short, we've been able to pick up quite a few new friends to start teaching and I'll give you a rundown of them:

Raylynn, Macady, and Boman are all recently turned 9 year olds who don't know too much about the church or even Christ in general but after some missionary magic and showing then how cool Jesus is they asked us to come back and continue teaching them! Boman is esspecially awesome, his love for Jesus Christ and the gospel is through the roof!

We also are teaching 2 other kids who are soon to be 9, a boy named Kyean and a girl named Annaleah. Their parents are less active who are trying to come back and want their kids to know who Christ is before they decide to get baptized.

Duncan is a young adult that we've picked up and honestly I don't know too much about him because every lesson we've had with him I've been on exchanges in another area, so I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Some other ones we have been working with (if you can remember them from past emails) are Gage, Kayden, and Niko, all 9 year olds. Niko is such a beast, coolest kid I've known on the mission yet! Right now we are working on getting him back on date to get baptized hopefully here within the next 2 weeks!

Elder Williams, my companion, is an awesome missionary. He knows a lot about missionary work and I've been able to learn a lot of things from him, fun fact, he's also from Texas! His family owns a Buffalo ranch just south of Tyler TX. 

It's been an awesome transfer so far, and we're already over half way through! Time flys so fast. Hope you guys enjoy the week, esspecially all of you down in Texas. Can't say I miss the heat, stay cool ya'll!



Pics from the past 2 weeks, most of them are from a hike up maple canyon with the district, one is with Boman, and the other is ending our exchanges with the Mount Pleasant Elders:

  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 ...
