#105 2 Years

Image
  Happy Tuesday!  I hope everyone has been having a great week so far. This past week was awesome! Definitely one of my favorite weeks as a missionary. Also, 2 years ago today I was set apart as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! What a past 2 years it has been! I still have over a week left though so I'll still be sending out another email  We had some amazing lessons this week with our progressing friends. Ashton and Annette are doing amazing! They've felt the power of the Book of Mormon and they feel the spirit everytime we come over. And they are both applying for a new job so they won't have to work on Sundays. They said that if they're going to do it, they are going to be all in. And our friend Frank from last week brought his entire family to church. It was so cool  We got to go out and eat with President and Sister Coleman and Elder Gurr and his comp before Elder Gurr goes home this Friday. It was so much fun. Elder Gurr is lite...

#104 Missionary Work is the Best!

Image
  How's it going? I hope y'all had a wonderful week. It was another amazing week here in Vegas. We went on exchanges with our ZLs amd I got to be with Elder Proctor again   I miss being his comp so much. We had a ton of fun and had a lot of success. We talked to this guy Junior who's in a band and he played us this crazy good jazz routine on the keyboard. He wants to come to church this week. We also helped at this service for this non-profit called Green Our Planet. It was pretty fun but definitely looked and felt like I was in Breaking Bad  Normally I don't share things like this but I had to share this onr experience we had this week. We helped this one not active member load a moving truck so they could move to St George. We had to go in and out of the house a lot to get the stuff and oh my goodness, that was the most disgusting house I've ever been in. There were crumbs everywhere and pizza that was probably purchased a year ago. There were piles of paper and i...

#103 110 isn't that hot

Image
  This was a pretty fun week!! We had zone conference on Wednesday and it was amazing!! We focused on repentance and how we as missionaries can repent and how can can teach it to our friends. President Coleman was also on one with his comedy. It was so funny and so spiritual. I'm going to miss the Coleman's so much. I also had the opportunity to give my departing testimony. It was incredibly weird to actually be the one to walk up for during the departing testimonies. I remember being in my seat at my first z con and thinking that that would never be me. But here we are   I spoke on the joy that comes from knowing Jesus Christ lives. Usually I don't choke up when I bear my testimony, but I did this time. It was a powerful experience.  I went on an exchange with a brand new missionary named Elder Moss from Nashville. It was really fun! We helped at this service all the way down south. We had gotten a ride from a member, but that member had to leave early. We were supp...

#101,102 Linda's Endowment

Image
  What's up everyone?! I hope your past couple weeks have been amazing. It's been a good first couple weeks of the transfer. We've been getting out and working hard but we haven't seen a ton of fruits of labor yet, but that's alright. I've found that it's just an honor to represent Jesus Christ even if people don't want to hear about. But we still have faith that He is preparing people. We've been working with a family for a month now. They are super awesome but just need some extra courage to be able to request Sundays off from work. So please pray for the Fredrick family  Last Friday I had the amazing opportunity to go to the temple with Elder Rogers (my comp from a year ago) and Jim and Linda Ness to see Linda receive her endowment and get sealed to her husband. It was so awesome! I had been looking forward to that day since before Linda was baptized. It was such a sweet experience to see them become united for eternity. It was also great to see a...

  What's up everyone?! I hope everyone's week has been amazing! Happy Fourth of July!   I am so grateful for this wonderful country. It truly is a promised land. I am so grateful for the freedom I have to worship Jesus Christ. I am grateful that this country was prepared so the world could receive the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And even though we're not the greatest at soccer, we are so much better than the rest of the world at the sport that really matters Super Bowl Championships USA - 60 Belgium - 0 Rest of the world - 0 These past couple weeks have been awesome! We've been able to find more people and help them come to church. We're working with this one part member family that really wants to come to church but currently they work on Sundays. If y'all could pray for the Fredrick family, that would be awesome    On the 4th we got to help at the Summerlin Patriotic Parade. We had to wake up at 4:30 but it was totally worth it. We handed out hundre...
