Letter #48

 Altight, it's been a while but I'm finally getting an email sent out! I have 3 drafts that I never finished so I'll try to include some of that here.


First of all, the past few weeks have been packed. Elder McDaniel and I have been talking to everybody that we see as we bike around town. We've also had had some awesome lessons, a few of our friends are even close to being baptized! My favorite lessons have been with the Jaime kids, Xander, Xzavier, and Xiphira. They love learning about Jesus and even came to church for the first time a little bit ago. Braxton, the new friend we picked up a little over a month ago has slowed down a bit, he had some family issues come up that he had to take care of but we were able to have a fire lesson with him over the Restoration and he loved it and is still down to learn more!

 There were a few new friends that we picked up as well to begin teaching and all was going well until transfer night. We had it all planned out, Elder McDaniel and I were going to stay in Gunnison (obviously right? I mean I still have 1 transfer left to train him and they never move trainers and their trainees). We had all our lessons set up, told everybody that hey, there's no way either of us are getting moved, we'll see yall tomorrow! type thing. But turns out that both Elder McDaniel and I got transfered out of Gunnison and both down to Washington, same area even so we're still companions! 

We cover 2 stakes now, Washington Fields and Washington Fields North, and let me tell yah, this definitely ain't Gunnison anymore. There are so many people and so much traffic and everything is just fast paced. Not gonna lie, I miss Gunnison a little bit, but one thing I have found out is that there are awesome people everywhere. We've already met a lot of great people, both member and nonmember. 

I'm running out of time so I'll tell yall more about our friends next week, but hope all is well with everybody! Stay safe and take it easy!

  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 ...
