Light and truth

A great week out here in Nogales. I do not have a ton of time today because max actually for special permission from his mission president that we can call one another today which will be awesome and the first time since i left the MTC in July so I'm very excited to hear from him! This week was awesome and weve been having some awesome lesson, seeing some awesome miracles and I've had some great studies this week. My testimony of the truth of these things has grown so much bu the power of the holy ghost showing that which is correct and from him (light and truth) and that which is false and of the interpretations of man and lack of faith. We had many people come at our religion this last week in many different forms and ways qnd love to try and prove it wrong by their own interpretations and knowledge of the scripture and their unchanging opinion. They use not faith nor the power Gods given to us to know all light and truth, the Holy Ghost. I have recieved so many confirmations, undeniable answers from the Holy Ghost of the validity of some things and the falseness of others. Thats the power of the Holy Ghose but it only works on our own faith. So many people attack our faith for the focus that Christ puts on works. They hate that they have to do something other than accept grace to be EXALTED not SAVED by Jesus Christ. Christ has already issued his atonement for all of man kind, weve been saved but in no way have we earned the precense of The Father or the Son. It takes works and great amounts of faith for us to recieve answers. When The Savior saved the woman with the blood infirmity it was by her faith that she was SAVED. If we truly desire the saving grace of The Savior we have to seek him out while hes close, seek his truth and he will seek us. I love the scriptures and The Holy Ghost to testify to me or their truth. They are eternal life. Seek and ye shall find.

I might get transferred for the first time on my mission this next week so probably dont send anything to me but I will keep everyone updated! 

Have a good week and find the truth and light that we have here in the world

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...
