Elder Mason Holman

  Dear family and friends, This was a really good week. I'm not sure what changed but I took a lot of pictures from what we were doing this week. We did a lot this week. We went on exchanges with some elders. I got on a bike for the day and tracked the  riding of the day on my watch and it ended up being about 16 miles in total. I went with an Elder named Elder Cabrera. He's a pretty funny guy from Idaho. We had some good success in our contacts that day and met some really cool people. We shared two copies of The Boom of Mormon with people we met that day and they were both super awesome contacts. We also issued a zone wide challenge to see who could send in their best planking picture. There were some funny responses. It was a cool day. It is his first transfer in the mission so I wanted to be his first exchange. The new missionaries always have a certain light in them and fire to do the work.  Then we also had the opportunity to attend the temple with Tommyee for the f...

  Howdy family and friends!  We had a good week this past week. Very busy with it being the first week of the transfer. Monday night we had one of my past companions come and stay with us and another missionary that I've served around. It was good to see them and see how they have been doing. It was the first time in my mission that I haven't gone to the transfer site which was odd, just a normal day to start off the transfer. So we got right to work on Tuesday and it was honestly a really good week. On Tuesday we had a lesson with one of our friends Brian and we showed up just wanting to talk about faith and build on that with him. We got into the lesson and we were reading in Alma 32 and he was really focused and involved with the lesson which was awesome. We read a verse and he paused and said, "I have a question" so we said alright. And brian proceeded to say, "what if I wanted to get baptized?" That was straight out of left field. So we talked to him ab...

  Dear family and friends,  This past week was really good! Elder Torgerson and I probably had out best 3 day period that we've ever had together. We saw many miracles and the Lord's hand was upon us in all of our labors. We welcomed in the new year with another transfer coming to a close and many changes to come but for us.... no change. Elder Torgerson and I will stay together and he will be my last companion. I'm very excited to see what miracles we will be able to see as we labor diligently for this transfer.  On Tuesday one of my good friends Elder Fullford was concluding his mission so we capped it off with some buffalo wild wings. We all ate a good amount of wings and we also all ate one of their blazin wings and it was a very spicy wing. Afterwards we went to a lesson with those elders with a miracle woman that had reached out to them on social media and that lived in our area. Her name is Michelle and she is so interested in learning more and has already taken so...
