WILCOX

Well They finally got Elder Holman out of Nogales after 7 1/2 months. I was really hoping president would call and change his mind but they made me leave sadly. It was good to say goodbye to everyone and will be awesome to visit again one day Nogales Arizona is a beautiful place with some awesome people. I'm here in Wilcox, Arizona and it's been a big change. Not many people only around 3,000 but it's a great place. The members are so involved and love missioanry work so that's been really awesome. The leadership just knows the importance of this work and the rest of the wards and branches follow after. I'm so excited to work here in Wilcox because I've already seen in a week that the Lord has been preparing people to recieve this message for along time. The lord blesses his servants and works along side them. In Jacob 5 it talks of how labourers worked in the vineyard but in the following verse it talks about how the Lord of the vineyard worked along side them. This is the Lords work and the opportunity that I have to be apart of it. That he'd allow us his servants to even put his name on our nametags is such an honor everyday. I know the truth of this work and the power the gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ have to change lives. The lord has really humbled me in this area and allowed me to take a step back and look at my self. I love the complexity of our God and the ways he attempts to give us this gospel message with the promise of our own free agency to choose these things. This work is true. Prepare for conference and it will be unforgettable that is a promise we have from God, Jesus Christ and their representative Russle M. Nelson here on the earth. Take head to their words and hear him. I love you and come unto Christ!

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...
