Elder Pieper

 This was a really good week, probably one of the best weeks of my mission up to this point. We had a member of the presidency of the Seventy come and visit the mission named Elder Pieper. We had many enlightening meeting with him throughout the week about simple eternal principles that we can apply in out lives as missionaries and also disciples of Jesus Christ. We also saw many miracles and if all goes as planned our friend Sanahin will be getting baptized tomorrow! 

This past week I had mentioned that we received a call from a lady named Eliza that has a desire to be baptized. We were able to meet with her this past Tuesday and get to know her a little better, she is really awesome. She doesn't know too much about God but is very eager to learn more about Him and His goodness. She actually came to church yesterday she was about 15 minutes early and she really enjoyed it! 

Another cool experience we had this week was last week we reached out to someone who has previously been taught here but there wasn't much information about him. He had met with the missionaries once but due to being busy with school he didn't have enough time to continue at that time. He met us at the institute on Wednesday and we had an awesome first contact with him. He really opened up about how God has played a role in his life and how he really wants to come closer to God and learn more about the plan he has for him. A member actually happened to come to the institute building and kind of invited himself into the lesson but shared a simple but great testimony and I know it was exactly what Adam needed to hear. At the end of the lesson we read some verses from Alma chapter 7 about the atonement and asked him what stood out to him and what he felt God was inviting him to do in these verses. He told us that the part about Baptism and becoming new is what he felt God was inviting him to do so we will continue to work with him! 

Like I said our friend Sanahin is planning on getting baptized tomorrow but her mom is really against her getting baptized so please pray for her and her mom's heart to be soften. 




There were so many great things that happened this past week but those are some of the high lights. 

We also set up a basketball game between north zone and west zone today at the mission office and we took it to them, let me tell ya. It was a really great time!

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...
