Grant Mission

Merry Christmas everyone! We have had a lot of fun here this Christmas other than the fact that we were sick for a LONG time. Walking in the cold is definitely not the best for one's health. We learned that we had the flu for a while and that was what made Adamson feel AWFUL for a week.  He started to get over it once we started to go out and work! We decided to just work through it and he started to feel better and has since been a lot better.  We had a Zone Conference on Thursday that I went to and left Adamson with the District Leader so I could get some instruction from the mission leaders. We had a Zone thing on Christmas eve where we invited as many people to church as possible! We exchanged companions for the day and had a ton of fun! We tracted out some neighborhoods and by lunch had 84 people invited to church! It was crazy! We had a ton of fun doing it too! We were as bold as possible and saw many opportunities that we normally wouldn't have. At the end of the day we...

We have been sick the last 5 days!!!🥳😃😀😅🥲🙁😥😓 Not fun. BORING! It was so boring! And the thing is, Elder Adamson might still be sick. I was sick for 3 of those days but I'm fine now. That means we still won't do anything for a few days. I've offered to help in every way I know how and he either declines or says he'll get to it later. But aside from that, I have had a lot of time on my hands for no reason.  Have any of you guys heard of Hank Smith? Well I had heard of him without truly understanding anything really until last Wednesday. That was the one day it seemed that we worked. Elder Adamson has quite a few of his talks and played one of them in the car. And I loved it! It was amazing! So on Sunday, I asked him to send me all 16 of the talks he has and then binge-listened to them in 2 days. Each one is about an hour or more but it was worth it! All of them were so GOOD! I now understand things differently and see things from a whole new perspective but finish...

This email is going to focus on yesterday the most because that's where this week got interesting.  Wednesday through Saturday was normal missionary work which like always (especially while walking) leaves you so tired at the end of the day. One of the best people ever came out with us for some visits this last week. After the visits, we spent 45 minutes at his house with his wife talking missionary work and how they can do all they can to further the work in their ward. The fire is inside them and they are now the members we are going to work with a lot! On Monday though we had exchanges! Elder Child came into my area for the day. My second time with him! We had some effective studies that morning as well! We talked and discussed the differences between the Light of Christ, the Power of the Holy Ghost, and the Gift of the Holy Ghost. It was really fun and we learned a lot! It had snowed last night and Elder Child is from Orange County California and loves to disobey traffic r...

Finally! A time that Elder Adamson and I haven't been passing sickness back and forth long enough to do some good work! We got out Wednesday and on and it's been amazing! I'm learning a lot from him and can't wait to continue the work! We went to the temple today for the 1st time in a while! It was amazing to feel the spirit there and help others who have already passed make Covenants with Heavenly Father! I didn't realize how much I missed going until this morning. The spirit was there, some familiar members were there, it was fun for all of us! Now i need to go again before the big exodus known as Christmas Break. We then went straight to play with the other Elders and do some nerf battles! Playing a zombie mode is really fun! We ran and got some exercise in and had a blast doing it, and now we are planning on it next week too! Hopefully we get less injured and less scrapes on our hands but it doesn't really matter that much. Something Elder Adamson and I have...
