SNOW!

Yes! Snow!

It snowed on Saturday and Sunday and got really cold really fast! You will see pictures at the bottom but it covered the ground and the car! It was super fun and I was laughing half the time it was falling! Being in snow is fun!

However. Being COLD is not fun. I don't really have a super good jacket for the cold and have been on the lookout for a week now. A member gave me a good bulky one that could go over a suit but it's too big to wear normally. If anyone has any good suggestions on coats, I will gladly look into them!

This week has been really fun! One experience however, stands out from the rest. We were at Costco yesterday, and after we got our food we sat next to an older guy who was sitting alone. We got to talking and turns out that his wife died 3 years ago in 6 days. He was really sad and was at Costco to go on one of their mini dates after activities and eat shakes. He also said that he has prayed many times to know if the Book of Mormon was true but has never gotten his answer (all this is happening in a noisy Costco food-court). So, I did all I could. I testified. I told him that even though he has prayed before with no answer, that if he prayed tonight about the truth that he would get his answer. I know I felt the spirit and that means he did too. I will probably never see him again but I believe I affected him a little bit. 

That leads into my thought. Prayer is the THE way that we can know the truth of anything. God is not going to lie to us. All we need to do for an answer is ask earnestly and then be ready to act on whatever answer you get. So, if any of you have any questions, pray. Pray and then ACT on the answer you receive. It has changed lives here and it can change your life. 

Training is going well but, like normal companions, nothing is perfect but we are working to be better every day!

Afton for 2!

Image
Hey everyone, sorry for no email last week, I was waiting to send one after I got transfer news! I'm staying in Afton for another transfer and getting a new companion! His name is Elder Garcia and he's from Arkansas! He's super funny and we get along really well! This area is just a roller-coaster! We used to have 4-5 potentials for this month and now we have like 2. It has been sad to see the situations that make the people we are teaching wait to get baptized. We are doing our best and being diligent while on the Lord's errand and we hope to see miracles! This area is amazing and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for it!

Unexpected surprises...

So, this last week has been amazing. Elder Jones and I have gone around visiting a ton of members so that we can get to know their neighbors. We have already seen success from this and are going to continue to do it. A miracle we saw this last Tuesday was a call from the Seminary teacher in the stake. He called and told us about this girl who wants to be baptized and wanted to meet that next day! So we met with her and 2 of her friends on Wednesday and she is ELECT! Many things in her life have lead her to this moment and now her friends are helping her make that choice to follow the Savior.  After that lesson at noon, we set the next one for 7:30 the next day just before transfers! We taught her the plan that God has for us and invited her to be baptized. She agreed and set a goal for June 3rd! It is amazing what the lord has in store for each and every person on the earth. The amount of love he shows us through the scriptures and just in the world around us is beautiful.  Th...

The Elect

Hey everyone! Sorry for missing an email this last week, I realized I needed to write one at 10pm and just decided to wait till today. We had transfers this last week and I get to stay in the Kimberly 1 area and I swapped out Elder Johnson for Elder Villezcas (VE-yez-kas)! He loves anything to do with Sonic the Hedgehog and loves to talk. This is going to be a fun transfer! Last week went slow like the end of a transfer usually does but now we have to get that momentum again. There weren't a ton of miracles either but they are definitely coming back.  Something that I saw happen last week was when Elder Johnson and I were teaching this really old guy named Tom Smith. He's a PMF and had been meeting with missionaries for a LONG time and we had finally dug through his concerns to whether or not he believes Joseph Smith is a prophet or not. We had challenged him the week before to make up his mind on that subject but he had forgotten that part of the challenge when we came back. A...
