Everything Worked Out (1/14/2019)

- 1:51 PM

Dear friends and family, Jon was baptized on Saturday! This is my first baptism where I set things up and the person being baptized actually showed up to the baptism. Feels nice. And the next day I was able to confirm him a member of the Church. A first for me! We're very proud of Jon. He's come a long way. Elder Lewis and I have scheduled our year-mark temple trip, which will be this Friday. Because of how the rules work with us going to the temple (and since that was the only day we could get someone to drive us), this Friday will be our next P-day and we will not have a P-day next Monday. After that things should go back to normal. I'm very interested in/excited to go to the temple. On another note, since I've decided to head right into school when I get back, President Stratford has recommended a slightly early release for me (so I don't turn lazy again while waiting for school to begin) which will be... December 14th . So mark the date....

"Out of Great Tribulation" (12/9/2019)

Dear friends and family, It doesn't feel real, but we have come to the end. 23 and a half months have passed since I became a missionary. This is the last weekly email. I was set apart on the day President Monson died. I've labored through all the many changes that have happened in the Church since then. I've seen new mission rules galore all across the board culminating in a new missionary rule book. I've read the New Testament and the Doctrine and Covenants in their entirety for the first time. I read Jesus the Christ twice and the Book of Mormon 4 times or so. (I think I still am missing a bit of the Pearl of Great Price somehow.) I got to look at myself in the proverbial mirror, recoil in horror, and try to repent. I got to meet countless individuals who I will love and stay in contact for the rest of my life. I was involved in teaching 6 individuals who got baptized either while I was in their ward or afterward. I learned how to bette...

Hey guys, Cheryl was baptized this past Saturday! Wish I could have been there. I'm happy for her though. Just imagine me in the attached picture... S. Gifford Nielsen of the Seventy came to visit us this past week for our Zone Conference, which was pretty great. He and his wife had a lot to share with us, which I would essentially boil down to "be a good missionary". It was a great opportunity. We have an investigator named Godwin we are working with who is at present our closest investigator to baptism. He took notes while we taught him the Plan of Salvation! I love him. It's pretty exciting. I will let you know how it goes. This week I want to share two talks from President Nelson. I was asked to start preparing a talk for a sacrament meeting next month and for it I've been researching "the gathering of Israel", which I really knew almost nothing about before. The way I learned about it was through these two amazing talks: "C...
