NEW GUY




Well very short on time today sorry about that! Got my new companion the new guy from the MTC. He is from New York city, 20 years old, and a convert with 2 years in the church and has a very strong testimony! He is awesome and we work really well together! Really excited for the next 2 transfers and the time we have to bring people unto Christ and help them find the truth of the restoration of the gospel through the scriptures and prayer! We saw many miracles this week and taught many good lessons! The people were teaching are progressing well! We had a lot of lessons and service this week. We helped unload 5,000 gifts for kids in mexico which was pretty cool! Helped our neighbor build a fountain and did a light the world stand giving out hot chocolate and wrapped copies of the book of mormon! It was a great week and I'm so happy to be a missioanry! Starting this week training and seeing a fresh missionary has shown me how much I've grown through Christ and his atonement and his love for all of us! I have enjoyed these last 5 1/2 so much and I'm loving the growth the savior gives to us as we come closer to him! I love you all and invite you to come more unto him that saved us and in this path you will find solace! Have a great week and a half and enjoy your time until you hear from me Christmas!

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...
