THANKSGIVING



Thanksgiving week was a very interesting week in the mission! We had preparation day, Thanksgiving and Friday we were basically at the hospital all day for my companion so we had some weird days in there but it was a really good week. A lot of our investigators are really progressing so well and weve started to teach a lot of new very interested people! We also had many people come to church Sunday and ththe babtism later that night. It really showed me that the Lord was preparing them for better things the weeks they couldn't come because it was fast and testimony meeting and the testimonies shared were so powerful it was awesome that they were able to see that especially one of the ladies that were teaching which is probably the closest person we have to being babtised, she wanted to come to church and see how it was and she loved it! It was a huge miracle and blessing! We also had a couple huge miracles finding this week and great lessons! This week we were in our house studying and I was looking at the window at our neighbor working on her car and I felt like we should go and help her but didn't do anything because it kinda looked like she was just looking around in the back, but like 5 minutes later she came and knocked on our door asking for help! So we helped her change her lights in her car and talked to her and she talked about how she had just read a book about enoch and melquezidec and that shes looking for a good religious book to read but cant find one! So we gave her a copy of the book of mormon and she said she'd read it and she also came to the babtism Sunday night it was really cool! It's been a really good spiritual week!  Hope everyone had a good week and keep helping others feel of Gods love!

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...
