TRANSFER 5 EN NOGALES

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 passes away this week so keep them in your prayers. We had another awesome lesson with the Gil family and they're progressing so well and keeping commitments and seeking to change! The work is going awesome. We prayed of where we needed to find yesterday and were lead to a road in our area and prayed and got out of the car and there was a guy sitting outside his house so we went up and just shared the restoration with him and told is his dad was "a mormon" (he was 73) and he said he wants to find out more about the mormon church because he's lost his faith in the catholic church which was a cool miracle! Really great week and loaded up on food at Wallmart so gonna be a good week. Hope you all have a good week and come closer to Christ and find answers to your prayers with faith!

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...
