Transfer NEWS

We'll another transfer comes to a close here in the Arizona Tucson mission and I got some very suprising news, I will be going home. Our mission President callled us out of the blue on Thursday and informed me that the mission department put out some new information pertaining to individuals using certain immunosuppressive medications that will need to go home until this passes and I am included in that group sadly. It was very sudden but the Lord comforted me very much in assuring me that this is his will for me for the time being. I'm saddened to leave the mission I have loved so much for the last 9 months but know the Lord is preparing me for bigger and better things. 

I'm so grateful that my last week in this part of my mission service was Easter. As I said last week I made the goal along with my family to read the last week of Christ's life in the 4 gospels of the bible. This puts everything into perspective. Christ suffered physically, spirutally, mentally and emotionally that he could save each and everyone from the bands of death and hell. He made this eternal sacrafice out of love, mercy and compassion that he has for each and everyone of us, because he did this he know how to perfectly comfort, heal and support us in our trials. This is one of the biggest things I've learned on my mission is to draw upon this help in trying times. He mades the most difficult and trying times of our lives more than bearable and joyful because he's gone below all things that he could know all things. I'm greatly saddened for this sudden change but I know that it is for my greater good and that I will be able to continue my service to him in what ever form that may be. I thank all for the love and support I've recieved over the last 10 months it truly has helped me so very much! If i don't respond to anyones email I will probably see you in the next couple weeks at home.

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...
