2 nephi 19:6

I don't want to take up too much of anyones time on Christmas or of my own to spend and talk with family but I will leave a quick update on the area and share my short thoughts and feelings about my week! 

This week we have seen countless miracles it's beautiful to see the Lords hand in the work and him guiding us and blessing us for our efforts in this work to save his that are him. This week Mary Lopez recieved an answer about her desire to be babtised and will be babtised January 3rd and bore unto us a powerful testimony of the truth and love that she has found within the restored gospel of Jesus Christ! We also saw many miracles this last monday which is normally our preparation day but it was moved to Chirstmas so that we could talk with family and have a rest day then and we had nothing planned with it normally being our preparation day but the Lord showed unto us why that preparation day was moved. We had a first lesson with someone we met two weeks ago of the restoration and he told us how much sense it makes that the gospel is restored after so much confusion and talked about how he wants to share this message with his friends. We were tracting and ran into an inactive member who was looking for the missioanries to help him come back to church and to start coming back again! We had a member follow us to our house from Pheonix and told us how she needs the time for church so that she can start coming againg. And countless other miracles, this is the lords work, his hand shows the truth of these things, god seeks to bless us and to lead us to the truth. I would like to close and with my quick testimony that i've grown over these last 6 months of my mission. I have seen the litereal hand of God come into my life and pull me up when i'm down. I have seen the truth of that which we teach by the power of the holy Ghost. I know that Jesus is the Christ, our savior and redeemor and that it is only through him and his infinite atonement that we are saved. An atonement that HAS already been made and it is up to our own agency and judgement to use it! I know one day I shall see my savior again but I shall not know him anymore surly then, than I know him as his fellow servant now. I love this gospel. I love the scriptures. I love my savior Jesus Christ and I know that he loves me. I know this all to be true and I'm eternally grateful for the truth of these things! 


Have Merry Christmas, I love and thank you all greatly for all that you do for me. Come unto Christ and be perfected in him that is mighty to save us!

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...
