Less sick! And seek and expect miracles!

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 done is seek out the miracles and then expect to see them throughout the day. We try our best to recognize even the smallest miracles and share them and try and look for even more. And the miracles are usually in the small things. We find someone who is interested, a connection is made between Adamson and a friend when they give us a ride home in a snowstorm, and so many more! Those are all from 2 days ago! 

I believe that sometimes we expect so much when we look for miracles, like surviving 6 rolls down a mountain, that we overlook the small miracles like the change we make in others lives. I love miracles and that has become my favorite past time at the end of a day to look for all the miracles. If we all took some time to look, I promise that you will see miracles where you least expect them and that they will continue to help you and bless you in all your endeavors as you continue to look for them. 

I love you all and am sorry again for the late email. Hope you are all doing well this time of year and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

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...
