Sommers Baptism

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 other elders that I need to kinda be with for a day. So basically we switch companions and we get to learn from them and make sure they are doing good. So we got to do that. I was up in a place called Pinedale for a day. So that was way fun. We also got to to have a meeting with all the missionaries in the area in green river. That was lots of fun. So that was kinda the weekend. Got to build some nice relationships with some cool people out here.

 

 

While we were on exchanges me and Elder Alba who is from Mexico experienced the painful part of missions. It's probably not what you'd expect but we were down in Randolph for the day and they had a pancake breakfast. It was pretty awesome. Everyone was super nice. We had just gotten seconds and just about to finish and the guy cooking up pancakes cooked us up some BIG pancakes. They were huge. That also explains the email title. We ate SO Many pancakes it was crazy. We weren't able to finish them all that's for sure but we certainly tried. The picture we got with them is my favorite. My companions face says it all.

 

 

But other than that has been a a great week and it has been super busy. Lots going on. This week will be a little slower but that's alright! We have interviews with out mission president and that'll be great. Other than that we are just working hard. We met a really cool guy named Christain. He is super excited and interested in meeting with us. It was so awesome to talk with him finally. We are excited to see him progress.

 

 

Other than that it has been pretty good and look forward to what this week holds. I'm loving and enjoying the mission so far and can't believe how fast the time has gone. It's awesome. 

 

Hope you have a great 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. We spent some good time teaching and talking with her this week. She's way excited to which is super cool. It'll be a great week getting all that organized and ready. 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...

What A Week!

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!! Yedi our recent convert has been telling is good friend about this amazing gospel. We went over to teach her and she is so amazing. Her name is Joslyn and she is so ready. She is very receptive to our lessons and is on date for baptism on the 26th of January!! We are so excited...

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...
