May, Jaxon

Man what a week! We just had so much going on its been the best!     Basically this week has just flew by, I drove down to Salt lake to get my new companion. They trained all the trainers on.. Well how to train. (try saying that 3x fast) and then we met our new companions! His name is Elder Greenwade and he's way cool. When we were finding out who our new companions were it just took me back to when I was getting trained it was wild. Anyway the rest of the day was just driving. Getting to know him and a little bit of work! He's from Farmington New Mexico and is the youngest of three. He reminds me alot like me it's kinda crazy. Anyway he's the best!     The week consisted of lots of work and learning for sure. We had the craziest miracles from the Lord this week. On Wednesday which was Elder Greenwades first day we had a member from my last area come out and work with us. We meet with some of the people we are teaching and had some powerful lessons. We invited him to...

Can you believe today's Monday..? I can't, the week came and went and now we are starting a new week. AND a new transfer. If I'm being real with you it feels like transfers are like a big long week. It's crazy. Guess that just means that we are working hard.     There hasn't been much of anything to special about this week. We had exchanges on Monday evening and Tuesday. That was lots of fun. I was with one my my good missionary friends Elder Stepherson again. That was awesome I learned alot from him! We get along pretty great. So I was in a place called rock springs for a day or so. But other than that we were just eqching lessons and had district council as usual. It was my last one for this transfer.     But on Saturday we received the transfer calls to know who's staying and going. And I'm losing over half of the district. That includes my companion so I'll be getting a NEW companion tomorrow. So that'll be fun to get to know everyone. It's e...

This week was great and we had some pretty cool stuff happen and hopefully some awesome stuff to come. Nothing super out of the ordinary though.     On Tuesday we got to help out at the food bank which is always fun we really enjoying giving service there! We just help out with stocking and if anyone needs help with taking their stuff out to the truck we are the guys to call.     Wednesday was pretty cool cause we had our interviews with our new mission President! That was super exciting. We were planning on having them over the phone and then last minute we had them say they were coming out to. Kemmerer for the interview... Yea that also ment they were. Coming into our apartment. So. We. Got. To. Cleaning very quickly... So this place was immaculate that's for sure. It went great though they are just super amazing people. But because our apartment is so small there isn't any private places to have an interview. So it undead up happing in the kitchen which was intere...

I am just doing amazing to be honest with you all today had just been an amazing day it has been just such a blessing. The Lord has truly blessed us and I can truly say I am feeling the joys of the mission!! And the pains as well but we will get into that later.     To start off the reason I'm so happy and just gleaming with joy is because about an hour ago we had Sommers baptism and it was AMAZING! Man it was just super cool. There wasn't a whole lot of people but the spirit was SO strong it was great! There was some amazing talks and just a really strong family bond was made today and it was the coolest thing ever to see. Man. So happy. It was super cool to see them unite and come together. So that has been today. We are going over to their house tonight and say goodbye because they leave tomorrow for vacation. So that'll be happy and sad.     This week though has been great! We had exchanges this week which were awesome. So because I am district leader I have othe...

This past week has been a little Rocky to be honest but we made it through and all is well.     On Tuesday I wasn't feeling good at all... I got pretty sick and so I was out for the count for a while. Just got a cold/fever something like that and it wasn't fun at all. I still tried to get some work done and we went out for a little bit but other than that I was done. The cool thing was even though I was sick and we were in for most of the day the Lord still blessed us. At the end of the day we got a phone call from a member and they said that one of their good friends wanted to meet with us! We went over there and talked with them and it went super great but man it was tough but I made it through it.     The next few days were me recovering and getting better. Thursday was pretty cool we got to meet our new mission president!! That was an interesting and great opportunity. President and Sister Prier are great! They are from Texas and they are just really excited to b...
