WELP

WElp it's been a pretty crazy week out here in the mission field. Monday I got called and my mission President said I'd be going home which was pretty sad but after talking with the mission department, my parents and doctors I get to stay out here so that's pretty lucky! We have been updated slowly but surely on the announcements from the Church and Nation on the steps being taken to prevent and stop this virus and it's pretty crazy all that's going on. This week and transfer combined we will loose 50 missionaries. Many have already left with their parents picking them up and many are being called home a couple transfers early and it sounds like we may get a large influx of new missionaries from all over the world so that will be interesting but the Lord has been preparing us for this and that is where my confidence lies is in my Lord my God. In this whole week, through all that has taken place he has spoken a constant peace to my heart and soul with the utmost confidence in the plan he has. I know that he exists and that he is all powerful and ever present in all that we face. There is many ways to interepret the things that are happening in the world but when we have the gospel, the true gospel of his son Jesus Christ that is the hope, peace and joy that he speaks unto us his children here on the earth. We are not lost nor forgetten for our God is ever with us in all things. I know this work to be true that we are doing. Satan is putting all the power he has to try and destroy that which The Lord is building up but he shall never prevail over our God. God knows us and asks us to hear his voice through His Son Jesus Christ. This week has been a great week of peace becasue I have heard Him, He speaks when we seek him. Seek Him out, find his voice and prepare for April 4th. This is my reitereated invitation to each of you, put away your distractions and hear our loving God for there is the peace we seek. I know he loves us and that he has a plan for us all, trust in him. 


10. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

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...
