¡dos meses!












Today is my two months, not a huge achievement but still something cool! The work is going great down here in nogales. The lord constantly listens to our prayers. In my last two weeks here we've basically been starting up and area which is hard because you don't have many people to teach and it's a lot of finding which is hard. But this IS the lords work and he is doing his part that we, through his strength can do ours. This week alone we found 11 new, interested people and got two more referrals today about two prepared families! The work is blowing up on us and we need to catch up with the Lord at this point not, but I can testify that this is his work. 

We had many great lessons this week and you can see the power and interest people have in knowing about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth! We had a lesson with the Bernal family this week (the kid who sold drugs in front of us) and they had a friend over named Dorian who told us he'd never read out of the bible or book of mormon as a 7th grader and we read Mathew 7 (because Dorian and the bernals son were fighting alot while we were there) and Dorian kept asking questions, giving his thoughts, and even downloaded the scriptures on his phone and started the book of mormon with us. I stand all amazed at the power of God in this work. He truly does all the work were just messengers, he's constantly preparing people for this message and gospel it is awesome. The gospel is so powerful, I've already seen the light it gives people, the desire to improve and be their best, the desire to be a deciple of jesus christ. We all have it in us, we showed a video about migration to one of the people we're teaching. It was about how us like animals have that instinct in us to know where we need to go and where we came from. As missionaries it is our job to help people notice this and guide themselves back to our heavenly father by the power and sacrifice of his son! This is the TRUE and RESTORED gospel on the Earth, I know this as a fact. If you do not know this I invite you to read the Book of Mormon with an open heart and to pray to know if it is true (Moroni 3-5) the power of this book is undeniable and I invite all to join this movement in the gathering of Israel in any way!!

Thank you all for your emails, thoughts, and prayers. I am always open to recieving all and any of those things. I thank you all! Have an awesome week and come unto christ!

The miracle of Golf

 Dear family and friends,  We had a really great week this past week! We worked really hard and made a ton of contacts with people in our area and saw a lot of cool tender mercies and miracles! Elder Torgerson and I have been trying out a new style of contacting this past week and it's been really awesome. We put a different contact in for every 15 minute period during our day. Some take longer, some are shorter but it allows us to get in with some people we have not seen for quite a while.  This past week we also went golfing with Tommyee's husband David. We got special permission from our mission President to go and play with him! As many of you may know I love to Golf and so does David so it worked out and we went and played 18 holes at the course in their neighborhood. It was the first time in my life that I've actually played 18 holes and it took a lot longer than we had anticipated it was going to. We were diligent that as soon as we got done we changed and went to ...

Last Haul

  Well I'm pushing into the last week of my mission. It is hard to believe that this really is the end. It doesn't feel all too different from everything else that I've done these last 14 months, it just feels like the end of another transfer. I would be lying if I said I was not looking forward to seeing family and friends, some of which I have not seen for nearly 3 years which is crazy to think about. I have cherished the time I've had to serve as a missionary and I'm super grateful that I was able to return to be a full time missionary despite the obstacle of the pandemic. I welcome what comes next and I really don't have too much of an idea as to what lies ahead of me at this point. There is a lot that still is up in the air but I know that the Lord will provide.  This past week was good. Fairly normal. We were able to teach some lessons. Meet some new people. Share the gospel with others and we had some great meals provided for us.  We actually had the oppo...

Ya me voy

  Dear family and friends, I received news this past saturday that I will be leaving Sahuarita and Elder Mortenson and heading back up to Tucson. We have 4 tucson zones in the mission and this will be the last one I need to serve in, east zone. I'm excited to for the change and am very optimistic about the area! I was only here for 6 weeks in this area and with elder Mortenson during his training so it will be sad to leave it all behind. This has been one of my most challenging transfers of my mission thus far and the Lord really refined and humbled me in the process, he has a way of doing that to us. I have never pleaded more for heavenly help for something beyond my own personal needs than I have in this past transfer. It truly brought me down to the lowest depth of humility and made me stand back multiple times and say, "I dont know what to do, take my hand and guide me." Each time that I was humble enough to utter that phrase the Lord guided everytime, sometimes it wa...
