First Lesson & Tracting

Hello Everyone!

It's the second week out here and me and my companionship trio finally got to teach our first lesson! We taught Jason and Lavina. They were actually being taught by the previous elders in the same ward, but this lesson we were able to put them on a baptismal date! We are hoping that being baptized will bring them closer to their Lord and Savior. 

We also met a really cool lady, Laura during tracting. She already has such an amazing testimony of her Savior due to her many past experiences, and we were able to give her a Book of Mormon too! 

We also met another awesome guy named Robert, he also has a great testimony of God and how much He cares for us. It's been a much more successful week than the last and we have given out so many copies of the Book of Mormon!

I Made It Safe and Sound

Hi Everyone,

Well, I officially made it to Texas! My first area is in Aubrey and I live at a place referred to as "the barn." We have a living area in a barn and it's really cool. There's a pond where you can fish and there's horses. I'm also in a trio companionship and my comps are from Farmington, Utah and Ohio. 

I will be serving in the Clear Creek Ward while I'm here and the bishop of the ward is really awesome. His name is Bishop Martino and we have been getting up at 5 a.m. each morning to go to his house to work out with him and his 8-year old son.

I hope I can learn and grow while I am here serving. We have been doing a lot of tracting and a lot of our appointments have cancelled, but hopefully the work will pick up for us soon.

I love you all!

This Week Was Super Awesome!

Hello Everyone!

This week was super awesome! I saw one of my old buddies from Weiser, Idaho down here at the MTC. He's going to the St. Louis mission and got here just this last Wednesday. It was also really great to see some classmates from Morgan High here. 

It's been really awesome to feel the Spirit here stronger and much more frequently. It's been helping me teach lessons better and know what to say. We also got to listen to the General Primary President, Sister Craig on Tuesday night! It was really fun being able to listen to a visiting authority in person and her talk was really cool!

Unfortunately, I still don't have any funny stories, but hopefully I'll be able to get some to tell all of you soon! But overall, being able to be here in person is super sweet and I can feel the Spirit so much more!
