Letter #46

 Wow, time just keeps getting faster! This transfer is already over and I've learned so much, more than I thought I could! 


Some quick updates from these past couple weeks: First of all, Skyla got baptized! It was such a neat expirience, one of her struggles the past few weeks leading up to her baptism was not really being able to feel anything but after she was baptized and given the gift of the Holy Ghost she said she felt different, but very good! The Spirit is REAL and I know there is a power behind entering into a sacred covenant with God. She felt that too and we're excited to continue working with her!

We've had a lot of good contacts with our friends as well and have begun to see some progress made with some of them! We are hoping to start teaching Star, Brilee, Colby, and Breklee in the next few weeks as all of them have expressed interest in meeting with us! Each of these are individuals scattered throughout our area and I know that the Lord has been preparing them and many more to learn about His gospel, keep them in your prayers! 

Also with it being a new transfer, transfer boards dropped and Elder Speed is going to Moroni and I am staying here to train a new missionary strait outta the Missionary Training Center. It'll add a lot more responsibility to my plate, esspecially since I will continue to be the District Leader, but I'm looking forward to the chance to prove myself worthy of this work! 

That's about all for now, hope yall have been enjoying the fall season!


Heres some ranndom pictures from the past 2 weeks. Between mountains, fishing, fall colors, picking corn, elaborate mazes made out of hay bales and more, we had a blast!

Also, shout out to Elder Stucki, love ya brother! I wanna be at the wedding, don't forget!

  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 ...
