Hey guys!
Great week this week! We've reset ourselves and got back to really
trying to talk to everyone we see, and we've talked to some awesome
people, and got a lot of return appointments this week.
We've really been pushing with Jesus this week trying to get him all
ready for his baptism his Saturday!! Heavenly father has truly blessed
him to open his mind and learn so much so quickly. This is the fastest
I've ever taught anyone and he is one of the most converted! It's been
such a blessing because we were worried to baptize him and him just
leave to boot camp. But he's great! He came to another wards baptism
last night and he's just so pumped!
We had a really special lesson with him this week where we taught the
law of tithing. During the lesson I felt really be able to promise him
huge specific blessing if he would pay his tithing for the rest of his
life. I love teaching and having the spirit be with us. It's the
coolest feeling ever then be worthy to be a tool in he lords hand and
help others come closer to him.
We also had a cool lesson with Jordan on Saturday and taught the plan
of salvation. As I've said before that's probably my favorite lesson
to teach and it was awesome. We focused the plan this time in helping
understand the "whys" of life, and he really enjoyed that. It helped
him understand why the gospel is so important if it is true. He is a
very logical guy and the spirit is helping everything click. It's so
cool to see that the spirit works in such different ways to
individualize everything for each person.
Transfers are next week, and no one has any idea what's going to
happen, all we know is elder clough, our roommate and old companion,
is finishing his mission, and we'll be sad to see him go.😩
Well, that's kinda it from here. O we did es changes and I was back on
bike and it was fun, but it was 110 and I was a bit wet by the end of
the day 😋😷
Love you guys!

Hey guys,
Sorry I didn't write last week. We went hiking and my companion forgot
to mention we took a different rout than I though and it was a 8.5
mile hike rather than a 4 like I had anticipated. But we're back this
week, and wow were we blessed. In they last two weeks we have had 7
new investigators! It's been super cool. 2 in the Spanish and 5 in the
ysa!! And the ysa hasn't had investigators in forever, they have only
had 2 baptized in the last 2 years, so we are all super excited. I
cant remember if I talked about Jesus, but he is an awesome kid. One
day he just decided to text a friend that is a member here, and asked
if he could come to church. He cam and he loved it! We have now had 3
lessons with him, and he came up to us after church and said he guys,
i don't know how to say his, but I mean I think I'm ready to be
baptized!! So he is going to be baptized Saturday the third! Idk if
he's more excited or the ward, they both are pumped!
We also had stake conference this weekend and it was very powerful.
There were two different 70s with us, and they were great! Elder
hallstrom is from the presidency of he 70 and elder Macoon just was
called this past conference.The two big themes were Sabah day
observance and truly keeping it holy. We don't need the list of what
we can and can't do, but we need to ask our selves is this what I want
Heavenly Father to see me doing on his holy day. " our Sabbath day
observance is and outward showing of our inner faith"- elder hallstrom
The other teme was truly becoming converted to the lord. We should be
able to ask our selves is here absolutely anything that would push us
out or away from the church. And if we really are converted we can
answer, with 100% certainty, no there is not. And the way we become
converted is through consistency in the small things. Reading the Book
of Mormon going to church saying prayers going to the temple. And when
we do is when we see miracles.
Sorry not too much more.
Love you guys!

Hey everybody!
We had a pretty awesome week!
Once again tuesday we had our big training together as a mission and
it was very interesting. Because the mission president goes home the
first week of july he is sort of just pouring all of his love and
wisdom on us and it is really cool. As i feel most are, mission
president are so in tune with the spirit and have so much wisdom that
just being around them you feel great. We sadly don't get to take back
our training as we used to in our zones, because they have asked the
missions to stop doing zone meetings, so I'm not sure what we truly do
as zone leaders anymore haha. But it's fun to be with president.
Then throughout the week we have been blessed with miracles. Sometimes
i can't understand why he blesses us when sometimes we haven't really
done anything to deserve it. On Wednesday we were going around trying
to find new people to teach because we sadly just dropped everyone
because no one would come to church. So as we are getting back into
the car, this old lady yells at us asking us to come over. So we jump
out excitedly and start talking to her. Her name is Dominga and she is
68 years old she said she had talked to missionaries is 70's in
Nicaragua but nothing really came of it. She asked us if she could
learn more about joseph smith and his story again! I was pumped, she
invited us to come back Friday. So Friday rolls around and she talked
about how she is just excited to learn more, and how she wants to come
to church and all these awesome things, and lo and behold she came to
church! It was awesome. We didn't really get to talk to her about her
experience because we had to run to the ysa ward. But we have a
lesson tonight with her at 6!
Sunday morning we also received a text from a random number asking
where and when church was. This woman shows up and says her name is
Griselda. She tells us how she has been a jehovah's wittiness her whole
life, but then she lost her faith in it. She then said she lost her
husband and her job. At first she thought it was a sign but didn't
want to go back to the church. So she said she prayed and prayed and
prayed, and wanted to know what path God wanted her to go on and all
the sudden she found a job, working for a Mormon bishop, and she said
she then took it as that was her answer and was now going on faith
and came to try it out and said she really enjoyed it. We are going to
her house on Friday!!!
Then even more in the ysa a kid brought a friend to church and is open
to talking to us and learning more! Don't know much more about him
than that but this all happened so quickly and it is incredible to see
how much Heavenly Father is taking care of us. I think in the past I
would be sad because we would struggle to find people to teach, but I
was sad because we just didn't have much to do, now I feel down when
we do, because I love teaching so much and to not being able to share
it with someone now is what is hard. I love this gospel and am amazed
everyday at how much the Lord loves us and wants to bless us.
Thanks for everyone last week for the birthday wishes they were really
special!😊
Love you guys! Have a great week!
