Baptisms and snow

Hey everyone! It's Thanksgiving! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and got to spend time with family! It was good to talk to family and see what they're all doing for the holiday!

It has been a week truly to be grateful for. Sometimes. We had our friends Ashley and JaCoby get baptized on Saturday! It was great to be a part of their conversion process! If you all could pray for Nat, their mom, to accept baptism, that would be great. This area has been amazing and I can't wait to see what happens with transfers! Transfers are next week friday and I should stay for another one but we will see. 

However. We got news that we will be walking soon because they need our car elsewhere in the mission. I would be all for it but the thing is, it's starting to snow. Quite a bit. The snow makes it less fun but I'll get over it. 

Thanksgiving was today and Elder Larson, Elder Welch, and I all got to go to have Thanksgiving dinner with Ashley, Jacoby, Nat, and some families in 1st ward! We ate a lot of food and had a blast! I learned I'm really bad at the card game Golf. I'm just saying I'm really good at getting big numbers. We then went to Julie Kline's house, she's a new member, and got to eat some pie and gave her and her sister a blessing. It was a good day and we are looking forward to this next week!

Hello everyone!  We have had a great week here in Kimberly! We started it off by having a lesson with one of our more promising people at the seminary building! She was a lot more comfortable there and the seminary teacher was able to help with the lesson! We had a really busy day on Thursday and ended up rushing everywhere because we had so many things to do in a short amount of time! We got to talk to a lot of members this week and have learned more about some families in the wards we cover and how we can help them! We had that busy pace almost every day this week. Being busy makes the work a lot more fun and makes it fly by sometimes!  We had a lesson with a man named Mike Saturday night. Mike has had a really rough life and didn't want anything to do with the church a few years ago. His neighbors are members and they have helped him a few times and served him a bit and recently asked them for advice on some things. The members referred him to the bishop and he started meeting w

Faith and Diligence

This has been a good week. We handed Madi off to YSA (young single adult) missionaries and they are planning to have the baptism in early July. I'm bummed about that but I can't do too much there. All the people that we committed and invited to come to church didn't come. We did our best. A big thing that happened was the Ward council for the Hansen Ward came out with us every night this past week! It was amazing! The people we talked to that we were teaching before progressed so much in the lessons with a member! We have been trying to get this going for quite a while! My favorite thing that happened was probably all of Monday. Elder Smith and Elder Taber came into my area and we had a blast. We worked and had faith and prayed often and were diligent. We got the hang of member work more, signed Elder Jones and I up for over 4 hours of service this week, helped the Guerrero family that got offended commit to come to church, acted on instantaneous promptings to pet someone&#

Miles, Lists, Painting, Church Attendance, and Exchanges

So, biking is fun. I might've mentioned it before but we were really close to our mile limit for the month so we had to bike these last few days. I've come to enjoy it actually! An elder I know loves bikes because of what he calls "bike blessings". Blessings that come from putting in the extra effort to bike no matter what the weather is like. I can say that "bike blessings" are real! Elder Klomp and I had a lot of success on the bikes! The lists are lists of people who have gone inactive or that we need to visit and there are six of them. One of our wards got on us for not communicating super well after giving them 3 people who are progressing very well and told us to make spreadsheets of EVERYONE on all of the lists. So we typed out all the people and made the spreadsheets. It was tough to be inside typing out a list when I could be teaching someone. We did service for a member this last week! We helped him paint the outside of his house so he could sell i
