Letter #38

 Man this week was all over the place, had a lot of fun though! I got to do a lot of exchanges with they were a blast! We have such good missionaries here in this district, in total we've all picked up 11 news friends and set 7 plans for baptism this past week. 


Last Monday evening we had an awesome lesson with Boman and we taught him about the Plan of Salvarion and he loved it! I loved it to because it reminded me how much God loves each and every one of us, He's got a purpose and a perfect Plan to achieve that purpose, and I truly testify of that.

Tuesday through Friday was an adventure. Between bashers (people who argue for the sole purpose of arguing and are not very nice about it either) and ward parties and bacing back and forth in the district, the time just flew by. We had quite a few visits with all of the other 9 year olds in our teaching pool, and we just met with Niko yesterday, please keep him in your prayers! His mom has been struggling quite a bit and although both of them really want Niko to get baptized, things just keep coming up. They could use all the prayers and support they can get!

There is a lot going on not only in my mission but in the world as well and one thing I just wanted to share real quick is that despite all that's going on, I have found a lot of peace and stability through reading the scriptures, esspecially the Book of Mormon. I know it goes hand in hand with the Bible in testifying of Christ and His gospel, who is the only true source of everlasting peace and joy. Give it a read!! I know you can find evidence of God's love and His eternal peace in its pages! 

Have a blessed week!

  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 ...
