Week 9: Tripan Miracles Pt. 2

 

 

Mother's Day phone call

Hey you guys

Basically we had a super long week but we were able to find lots of success. Elder Littlewood got put with us cause his companion finished his mission so that has been a whole lot of fun. We were able to witness a lot of great things. 

We had a baptism last Friday and that was absolutely amazing. We've been working with him since I first got here and it was super cool to see him get baptized. 

Elder Treanor is unfortunately on to bigger and better things heading up to Casper, WY. I'll miss him greatly he has been the best companion I could've possibly asked for. My new companion will be Elder Jenson coming down from Fort Collins. He's supposed to be pretty legit so we'll see. I'm pretty excited for it. 

Anyway I don't have a lot of time so I'll talk to you guys next week.

Week 8: Empire Line

 

 Few things could have made this week better honestly.

We were able to get out and do quite a bit of finding which I absolutely love and people call me crazy for it. But hey there's really nothing better than talking to random people about things you know without a doubt are true. We've been extremely blessed lately with people who are prepared to hear our message being put in our path. 

One miracle we had was Darron, who has been taking discussions for about 3 years, commit to be baptized this Friday. It has been so remarkable to watch the Gospel change his perspective on life. His wife is a member of a few years and she is just ecstatic. That has been such an amazing thing about being on a mission, seeing how the Gospel blesses every aspect of a person's life. 

Elder Treanor and I have been able to realize the blessings that come from obedience and diligence and we plan on keeping that up. You can not go wrong in any part of life if you're doing those things. 

 

(Former) Elder Reiswig came back to the mission yesterday and surprised us all so that was a super cool thing. Elder Treanor got so excited he ran and gave him a hug and ripped out the back of his suit jacket. But yeah he brought his fiancee and they're getting married in like August, super crazy. 

 

We get the transfer document this Saturday so we're hoping we stay together in this ward for at least one more but we'll see. 

Anyway all in all it was a good week and I'm looking forward to the upcoming week. 

Love you

Week 7: Nil Sine Numine

 

 

 

This week was all a blur and fairly uneventful so I'm sorry for ANOTHER boring email. (Not like anyone actually reads these)

We taught lots of lessons and did a ton of service. We spent one day down in Berthoud putting shingles on some guys roof and replacing his shutters so that was fun. Got a nice sunburn. We did a ton of finding also and tracted into a few solid potentials so we're looking forward to that.

We had one of our investigators move to Texas so that was super sad to have to say goodbye to him. We're hoping he continues to progress with the missionaries down there.

Went to with one of my favorite families this past week as well and that was just super incredible as always.

Me and Elder Treanor have been focusing a lot on the stones lately and how it can be applied daily. This has brought us lots of blessings as we've been able to focus on how important that really is for everyone.

Once again I apologize for the boring email.

Love you guys.

Also I put up a 153 in bowling so I'm pretty hyped about that.
