Christmas! And transfer news!

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 had invited 268 people and the Zone had invited 1950+ people to church!

On Christmas day we went to 3 services and only had 1 person come to church. We at least gave all those people the opportunity to go and feel the spirit and have somewhere to remember Christ. We then hung out with a few Elders and opened some gifts. I called family and got to speak with my brother! It's been a long time and he and I have definitely changed!
Hopefully for the better! We then had dinner with a really fun family and played Cover Your Assets for an hour! The Zone had planned a movie night at the mission office and watched an episode of the chosen! It was a fun Christmas and I can't wait for the next one.

Monday was a big work day. We got a lot of work done and had a lot of fun. It was a busy day and we had a lot of success.

Transfers are happening this Thursday and I am moving to Kimberly ID. It's going to be fun!

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...
