I miss you all and think about you often. So this week was another crazy service week. We had service every day this week and it was amazing. It ranged from weeding, sweeping, lifting, throwing, and some breaking lol. I got some pretty cool battle scars from a black berry bush we tried to attack... though I think it attacked us more haha. So our area finally got a car!! We share it with another companionship from the other ward but it is still ours. It is an electric blue 2020 equinox and definitely the nicest car I have driven in my life lol. It is kind of funny because a lot of missionaries drive the nicest cars they'll ever drive when they are on their mission lol. This week we had a couple of member meals and we 2 bbqs with families from both wards. It tasted so good and was definitely needed... or wanted. We tau

My week was good and very fast. We did a service project literally every single day... and it was amazing. I know I already extended the challenge to give out and serve and I hope you all had that opportunity. I also hope you all experienced the spirit testifying to you all that this was what you needed to do. Anyways this week we drive more new cars to our mission. We picked up 13 new equinoxes with our whole district and I got to drive alone twice haha. It was so nice to drive again and to see field upon fields of green. We also had interviews with president this week and it was amazing. I asked president about a couple of doctrine questions and fortunately he was able to answer them and with talks. So I apologize for the length of this email but I want you all to know that I love you all. Challenges will co

This week was crazy busy because of transfers and sadly my Canadian companion is gone:( but he is in a better place in the mission but I miss him. My new companion is elder Boren and he is awesome! He is from highland utah and he has been out for a year in about 4 days. He is really funny, but kind of quiet. We did a lot of service this week... for example: Saturday we had four service projects back to back. We started at 6 am and finished at 2 pm. We were so tired when we got home that we spent our lunch time sleeping haha. Though we were tired, the feelings that I felt were priceless. We have also talked to a lot of people this week and invited a lot more to church. Unfortunately none of them showed up but they said that they would try to come this week. Well I don't have a lot to write this week but my challenge is different.

This week has been an amazing week full of service and miracles. It started off with a bunch of service in yards and helping people move their stuff to the storage shed. It has been so hot but it made service fun still. This week we had a fantastic lesson with a referral from the spanish sisters in our area. This mans name is mike and he just barely got married. He has a son who is 2 and really cute. We started off teaching a message of hope but he asked a lot of good questions regarding the Restoration so we taught that instead. He believes in god and Jesus as separate beings so that is awesome. We told him that in order to know the truth he had to pray and read and he gladly accepted. Now we will be having a lesson with him come Saturday and a huge service project as well, so excited!! We finally got back to church!! It was awesome and so spi

I miss you all and hope this week was full of faith and not fear. This week was a good week!! We did a couple of service projects that consisted of cutting down a BlackBerry bush, running from Hornets, and doing a whole bunch of weeding haha. My parents are probably thinking, "it's about time he worked." Haha. I also go to drive a brand new equinox 2020 because the mission was buying these new cars. It was so fun and so beautiful. Today for pday we played a lot of volleyball and had a huge water balloon fight with spin the bottle. It was so much fun and I realized that I suck at throwing lol. Well we have a couple we are teaching so far and they are awesome. Our most progressing person is james who is still searching for the truth. We are still working with him but we can tell that his faith is growing. Well let's ge
