Letter #41

 Happy Pioneer day from Ephraim Utah! This week was a blast and it felt like it went by in no time. Also, I hit my 11 month mark a few days ago, almost halfway there!


This past week I went on exchanges just about every day this past week and my favorite day was Wednesday. On Wednesday I was on exchanges with Elder Glunt who is getting started in his second transfer now in Mount Pleasant and together we found 3 new friends that evening to start teaching! Honestly things have been a little slow in Ephraim at the moment so it was a nice change in pace for a bit!

My other favorite day was Saturday because Niko finally got baptized!! His mom finally agreed on a day Niko was so excited! What an awesome kid, thanks for all the prayers because they helped immensely!

Our district has seen quite a bit of success this past week, in total we've found 10 new friends and had 3 baptisms. The Lord is pushing the work forward!

Also shoutout to Brandon Cluff, he just happened to come up to Ephraim for a bit and we also just happened to go to the same sacrament meeting without even knowing it, picture down below! (I look half asleep but thats only because the picture was taken halfway through a blink)

Christ lives! He is our Savior and He loves YOU very dearly, and I know that to be a fact! Have a great 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 ...
