After an 8 Month intermission DUE TO COVID19



Dear family and friends I have safely made it to Tucson this past monday and I couldn't be happier to be back in the mission! I was received at the airport by Elder Riches and Elder Wurtz and spent the day with them and my new mission president and his wife. We ended the night with a devocional at the home of the temple president and it was an awesome ending to the day.



 The next day I got my new comanions, Elder Medina and Elder Freeman. We're serving in West Tucson in the El Rio ward. They have both been here for some time and we're getting a little bit of a fresh start this transfer so we're looking forward to what is to come. This week we've done a lot of talking with people and contacting and have seen good success. It's super interesting to not be able to knock doors but there are so many other ways to find the elect. There are many people here prepared for the message that we have and it is awesome how open others are during this Christmas season. I'm really looking forward to this coming transfer and what will come from it. I've loved this week and preparing for Christmas and being able to read about and teach about the life of Christ. I'm so greatful for Christ and the example he gives us. I can feel so deeply the love that he has for me and each one of his children. I've been able to feel the spirit so strongly this week as I've once again been given the opportunity to declare his name and share his gospel everyday. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and relish in the thought of our Savior this time of year.

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...
