#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

  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...

#98 I Guess I'm TikTok and Instagram Famous

  How's it going? I hope everyone has been well.  On Thursday we had a member call us and ask us to help him out with a "service." It turns out he's an Instagram influencer with about 13k followers. He posts videos about the church and a lot of them are controversial. He had us film 2 quick videos with him. One was a crazy edit of us. It was a parody of another video that recently went viral. And then the other was a video about what to do when the "Mormon missionaries" knock on the door. We didn't think too much of it, but now about 4 days after the videos were posted, we have about 10 million views between the two videos on Instagram and Tik Tok. Yeah I never really thought that would happen on my mission. We've had so many people message us and say they scrolled into our video. Apparently in the comment section we've gotten a couple death threats, but there's also people that think it's the coolest thing in the world. But the best part...
