Transfer News

Image
Hey everyone!! Hope you are all doing well and had a great week(:     Well lots has happened this past week so that's always nice. We got transfer calls on Saturday night and... I'm leaving my area. It's kinda sad but happy at the same time. I've been here in the Winder Stake for the past 6 months and it has been amazing. I wouldn't have asked for a better start to my mission. I've been able to meet so many amazing people. That's the sad part and it'll be the same with areas I get to really know the members because we get to build the relationships then we leave. But that's missionary work. I've also been able to build some awesome relationships with the people we are teaching and I unfortunately won't be here for the rest of the teaching but I am definitely going to try and make it back for their baptisms!! I know the Lord needs me in a different area so I'm okay with it. I'm sure I'll be able to meet some more amazing people.   ...

Easter Sunday

We certainly had a busy one filled with church and amazing people. We went to two wards which was great and there was lots of good singing and talks on Jesus Christ. We even had Zach, someone we are teaching come to church which was so amazing and just made me happy to see him. We then had dinner with on of our bishops which was delicious. Met his family and had lots of food!! Rest of the day was good we made some good contacts and met some cool people.       Eariler in the week we had our zone conference which was great... Kinda... I was really not feeling good earlier in the week so zone conference was rough but there was some good messages from what I could take down. So a majority of the week has been recovering from that sickness which wasn't the most fun but we made through.     Today's been a great day we had a zone activity which was lots of fun we all got together and played some basketball and volleyball which was great its always nice to be able to pl...

General Conference

Sorry for the late email, this week we get to go to the temple and so because we get to go we have our PDay on a different so that we can go to the temple and do everything on the same day so today's been a busy day! Even just the week has been pretty busy!     We had General Conference as you all know this past weekend and that was so amazing!! We got to go to the Sunday Morning session and man it is something else to be there in the conference centre. It is way big and when the prophet walks in its like Woah the spirit is way strong. All the talks that were given were amazing I absolutely loved all of them! On my my favorites was the one given by Elder Dallen H. Oaks titled "Where will this lead" it was super powerful! We often need to ask ourselves when we are faced with a decision "where will this lead?" thinking about the outcome of our decision will help us to know where they will take us and how it will effect our future. Anyway it's a great talk! We ...

April Fools

I thought it would be a funny prank to not send out an email but in the end I think that would be a not so funny April Fools prank haha!     Overall this week was a pretty great week! We definitely worked super hard this week and saw some pretty amazing miracles happen! We wanted to have 9 people on date for baptism so we did some planning and goal setting and prepared for everyone individually to help them prepare for baptism! After all the hard work and lessons we had we were able to reach the goal. It was so amazing and we just had some pretty great experiences with everyone we are teaching. They all accepted the invation to be baptized is the coming months and we are so excited for all of them! What a blessing it was to see and a testimony building of the importance of putting our faith and trust in the Lord. As we do that we truly can have great things happen.     Yesterday was quite a busy and jam packed day for sure. We had lots of church of course and we actu...
