¡La fe en Jesucristo!

Well another week in the books and it was a good one. Very busy and a lot of missionary work going on which is always a good thing. Kinda flys by and is hard to think of the things that stuck out but I'll share what I can! 

This week we had a huge break through with a kid we've been teaching for a while! We went over one night to the familys house that we've been teaching for a while. No one was really progressing and we even almost dropped them but we went over Wednesday and talked to the mom and her son Raul kinda just catching up. Then Raul who is about 12 said that he read in "the book" ( the book of mormon) and said that he felt a lot happier after. Then he said he did this a couple more times that week and everytime he said he felt much happier and had piece and we'd never heard anything like this from him so it was pretty crazy. Since then we've had three other lessons with him, each being better than the last and he really gets it. It's really awesome to see the gospel change peoples life and see their desire to be like christ! 

Something fun and unexpected was that today we got invited by a ward member to go hike around a cave in the middle of nowhere. It was pretty and reminded me of Utah! We thought it was going to be just a little open cave, We were very wrong haha. We ended up squeezing into the tiniest wholes, crawling and shimmying on the floor it was pretty intense and all we had was head lamps but was a very fun thing to do for preparation day! 

I have an invitation to everyone who reads my emails to find someone to serve this week and if you do write to to me about your experience and how you felt. It's one of the ways I've felt the most peace and happiness on my mission is in the service or others, teaching, praying and reading the scriptures. But I hope everyone trys to take this invitation and had an awesome week.

Thanks for all of those who write weekly its good to hear from other missionaries and to hear people's love and support for this work. Thank you all and have an awesome week.

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...
