Goodbye snow! At least for a few more weeks...

Good morning everyone! Sorry for not sending an email these last 2 weeks! 

I finished my time in Afton last Friday! I got moved all the way to a town barely outside Pocatello named Chubbuck! I'm in a trio with Elder Larson (from Hurricane, Utah) and Elder Welch (from Arkansas)! Elder Welch and I can't drive so we both have to let Elder Larson do all the driving. Being in a trio is interesting. It makes the work more fun and helps with keeping conversations going! 

This week we had an amazing miracle! It was on Saturday when we went to some referrals the bishop of 1st ward gave us. It was in some apartments that Elder Welch had helped move a lady into a few weeks before. She was also from Arkansas so we went over to check up on her and she is super open! Her name is Averona and she has 4 kids! The oldest is 11, the next is 10, then comes the 5 year old, and the little 1 year old. This family is amazing! We gave them a couple copies of the Book of Mormon and invited them to read the introduction and come to church on Sunday! The kids were so excited that one of them asked when they could be baptized! It was amazing! We said we would talk about that next time because we wanted to see if they would even come to church. Well they did. And they LOVED it! They love the people and the spirit and said they will be back next week too! This family is a miracle! I love them so much and want to help them in any way possible!

Overall it was an amazing week and we got to help a lot of people out!

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...
