Randolph's Baptism

This week has been absolutly crazy. Like woah.. it was super busy for starters and just so much happened so that has been great!

 

 

So for starters this week we did TONS of driving like everyday we were on the road. This week we were helping Elise and her family prepare for baptism so from monday to wednesday we were back and forth from Kemmerer and Randolph for lessons with their family. so that was all the start. It is only 45 minutes but still it was alot when you do it like 4x. So that was the start of the week. had some good lessons and everything was going well. Then come thursday the crazyness began.

 

 

SO on Thursday morning we were driving back from Randolph so we could make it for some service we were doing for a recent convert. we had to dig a trench for him in his yard so we got some shovels and got digging. We asked some other elders who were planning on coming tonight to come by adn helo so we had 4 missinoaries and we got it done really quick. Had lunch with the family and that was great. Then we drove back into town, because he lives 15 minutes out, to make it for some planning adn thigns. Just the usuall thursday stuff. Anyway that was all good. Then we hit the road with all the missionaries to go and meet with Elise and do the baptismal interviews for all the kids. So back we went. That all went really well and it was a good night.

 

 

Friday we zoomed all the way up to Pinedale which was about 2 hours and 30 minutes to help out the elders up there. it is called a blitz and basiclly we all just get to work and try to find some people for them to get to know and work with. That was really cool becuase we got to find some awesome people! MIRACLE! To end the night 6 missionaries huddeled around a tinny phone screen and all watched the new Book of Moromon video. Which BTW if you havent seen them yet please do. You litterally watch the Book of Mormon come to life. It is simply the BEST!(: so that was cool.

 

 

Then it was the big day. We made the trip back down to Randolph and got ready for the Baptism which was the coolest thing ever. The spirit was just BOOM so strong. It was great. my comanion adn i got to each do some baptisms and that was just great! so that was just the coolest thing ever. I am so thankful to be able to be apart of the Lords work here. It has been so amazing. So we stayed the night and went to chruch with them in the morning and they all recived the gift of the holy ghost. AHH it was jsut great. I have known Elise and her family for the past 5 monhts and it was so cool to see her and her kids take the next step into baptism. so wodnerful. So that was really the past week. I have been here and witnessed the Lords hand lead and guide everything we do and it has been such an amazing blessing an MIRACLE to be apart of it all. Even today we just went to the store and we met a lady who has some questions and we are going to hopefully start meeting with her. SO COOL!

 

 

Anyway sorry this one is so long... but i had lots to share this week! hope you all are well and staying warm! have a good 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...
