Good Morning!

I'm 100% sure it is still morning for all of you. Now I don't know if all of you will read it in the morning, so here is the title for you who do! Good afternoon!

Okay, it has been a busy week this last week. Elder Garcia and I have been working our socks off gathering Israel. It is going fairly well! We have found quite a few people this last week and are hoping to progress them! No one is close to baptism yet except for Tui'ono. He's from Samoa and has come to church every week in the YSA branch. We need to finish teaching him everything so we can baptize him but he's so close! 

I have seen the success that comes through comp unity and faith and works. I have usually had comp unity on my mission but either Faith or works have usually lacked. One of the Zone Leaders said that faith and works makes this whole work even possible. I've looked back at that a lot this week and tried to exercise my faith and put forth good works to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. 

I'm looking forward to the rest of the transfer and hope I can do what the Lord requires of me.

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...
