Another great week in the work of the lord. It was a week with a lot of big things that took place. Were kinda in a crazy day right now. Were up in Tucson because I had a doctors appointment so we changed our preparation day and we went to the temple which was awesome. Were currently outside of top golf. Its gonna be a busy day so I'll keep it short. This week was really awesome, we saw lots of success with the people were teaching and had many great lessons. The lord blessed us with energy on the bikes and we saw many miracles of being on the bikes! The Gil family surprised us at church which was an awesome surprise. They came to hear elder Midyette and I speak and were super nice and said that we did a good job and went and found us before they left to say goodbye. Such awesome people here prepared by the lord!  We also had elder uchtdorf come to our mission which was so awesome to be able to hear the power and testimony of an apostle of the lord. He had a powerful testim...

Well we got the news on transfers and I'm staying here in Nogales, transfer 5 and get to finish training Elder Midyette I'm so pumped! 7 months in one area is not normal my mission president said but I love Nogales its gonna be really weird to leave here! 6 more weeks to see the Lords hand with these people. I don't have a lot of time today so I'll be quick and give a highlight reel of the weekend. This week was another week before transfers so kinds saying bye to people unknowingly so I have a lot of goodbye pictures and a couple funny stories. There's a special needs man at the foodbank that has been a good friend of mine while we've been here in Nogales and I told him I might be leaving early on and we did our work and when we were leaving he like followed me to the door and asked if he could give me a hug. it was pretty cute ahah I love the foodbank people. It was such a good week with the people were teaching. One of the people were teaching mother pass...

This week was really awesome. Lots of lessons and opportunities to teach new people and say a lot of growth with the people we're teaching and miracles from Gods hand in his work! We had two lessons with the Gil family this week. We taught the plan of salvation this last Tuesday and our mission president and it was one of the most spirtual lessons of my mission! They have such a great desire to learn and come closer to Jesus Christ through his restored Gospel and Church! IT was an awesome opportunity to teach with President Browning and to learn from him and see how he teaches and one of the biggest things I noticed he did was that he recognized the Holy ghost and took about 15-20 minutes and told them about recognizing the holy ghost and used the example in John chapter 14 of how the holy ghost is literally the tool that God left to us to know all truth after Christ left the earth and it is by these means that we can recieve all truth and we've seen the fruit within them of...

We came up to Tucson last night and got to do a Zone break out (zone meeting) then went and did a blitz with a random missionary and had a big party with all the mission qnd it was super fun and ate some pie and found out that Elder Uchdort is coming to the mission this next month so that will be awesome! Yesterday in our blitz we were sharing scriptures wirh people about the new year and how it's a new start and saw many miracles through our finding and met people who had met with missionaries and said that they want to meet with us again and a guy who said he wants his family to hear the word of god and that we can come anytime! Huge miracles this time of year with people wanting to become better and change for the better through our perfect example of Jesus Christ! So many miracles and I'm so happy ...
