First Week In The Mission Field

Hello everybody!! Man has this week gone by fast we have been going to work each day till we got to go home. It definitely has gone by fast but it's been an amazing experience so far. I'm in a biking area so one of the first things we did was go get a bike and the biking has been crazy especially in a suit. But other than that my trainer has been training me well we've been doing lots with the members which has been awesome. We also have someone on date for baptism on November 25th and are super excited for him. He is from the Congo and is super strong and has been coming to church for seven Sundays which is crazy awesome. We are trying to meet with him one last time to set up the interview for his baptism so he can be all set for Sunday. We can't wait to meet him and see his spiritual growth continue as he is so close to being baptized. We've already had some crazy experiences. One night as we were heading over to contact a referral it was in this apartment area within our area and there was a man sitting on the bench doing something with his backpack. My companion wanted to go speak with him and make a contact and as I was trying to put something in my pocket I couldn't find it. No matter how hard I tried I was trying to get it in but I couldn't. As this stalled me and my companion we saw the man begin to leave. My companion try saying something but he couldn't for some reason. The spirit was very much warning us of what was in front of us. My companion got a glimpse of what was his face and he said he couldn't forget the face and how scary it was. We don't know what he was doing but the spirit was telling us to stay away from him which was a crazy experience already. The rest of the night was kind of off but we definitely learned of the importance of the spirit. So lesson learned dont talk to suspicious people. But happy that nothing happened so that's good. We also have someone on date for baptism on Sunday so we are so excited for that he is from the Congo so thats super amazing he's been to church lots. Love you all till next week.

This was another great week here in Kemmerer Wyoming! We've been real busy all week. Tina is on date for this Saturday and man we are super excited.

So that'll be keeping us busy this week.     We had a really cool activity on Wednesday with the youth! We all did a big service scavenger hunt around the area. It was lots of fun. We got to know more of the people around and just help people out. We even got to know some of the youth which was great.      We really are trying to work with them and help them prepare for missions! Let's see we also had some really good lessons with Diana. She is doing amazing. She really has just grown to love the Gospel and she is super ready for the 24th! We even have started to teach her Granddaughter who is interested in learning more. Man that just had been a reall...

It was Christmas of course and I hope you all had a great Christmas I know j did(: The calls home were good and also all your Christmas greetings were greatly appreciated thank you(:     We had all our appointments fall through on the night of Christmas which I mean hey to be expected I guess. No worries there though we kept on working and are seeing the blessings there from that. We had to push our baptisms from last Saturday to this Saturday since there was lots of stress and such happening in the family. We want their baptism to be a stress free and good experience so we are excited for them this week.     We also picked up a new person who us really progressing. Its actually Yedis friend!!

Quarantine Life

Hey Everyone hope you're staying safe and healthy! This virus certainly has taken the world by surprise but have no fear The Prophet of God is here!!     I love President Russell M. Nelson he is truly our Prophet here on the earth. This past week we had the amazing opportunity to hear from him and many other of the apostles of the church in General Conference. It was amazing we got to learn alot about the Restoration of the Gospel. Being the bicentennial of Joseph Smiths First Vision and really the Church being restored on the earth! If you didn't have an opertunity to hear the Words of the Prophet then I'd encourage you to read/watch them once they're posted on the website.     https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng     But pretty much we've been doing the same old same old. In our apartment and texting, calling you name it if we can reach out on technology we will try! Haha! It's been good though we've seen some cool miracles. Today we had a guy ju...
