Week 21: American Mary

THE RIVERTON DISTRICT

 

2. Bye Elder Powers

Elder Garcia and myself

Well brothers and sisters,

Elder Powers is packing, he's off to Longmont, Colorado and I'll be getting a new companion tomorrow. I don't know anything about him so I'm pretty excited. 

This week has been great.  We had Elder Campbell's last district council and then he hopped on that big transfer van in the sky, so that was pretty sad. And because of that, we've been with Elder Garcia for the past week so that's been fun. 

We've been able to do lots of walking cause the weather has been nice so we are super grateful for that. But in all honesty, it was a pretty normal week, we're working with a few people who are progressing well, and we've been able to find some new people as well. 

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve a mission and I would invite all of you to do the same.

Love you guys!

Friends, family, loved ones, and people who just delete this when it pops into the inbox.

This week has been phenomenal. We're teaching a new family that has been showing interest for a long time. They're super solid and are very excited to learn more about the gospel. I love this work so much. 

Elder Powers and I have just been doing all we can to earn the Lord's trust, and be on his errand. 

Missions are full of tough times but that's often times why they are so beneficial. In Alma 20:29 we are taught just that. I am a firm believer that everything hard we go through makes us better. I am so grateful for this great opportunity I have to serve and I wouldn't trade it for anything. 

The church is true brother and sisters. 

I love you all very much. Sorry I'm the worst email writer in the world.

Dear Distinguished Colleagues,

It was my birthday this week and only a small handful of you wished me happy birthday, so I guess I know who my real friends are. To say the least, I am salty.

On Friday we had all of our appointments fall through so me and my boy Elder Powers did tons of finding, it was the Bee's Knees. Some members grilled us some steak so that was pretty legit.

We had a super cool experience this week, we've been trying to focus on specific prayers lately, and we were able to find some new people to teach and it was exactly the amount we prayed for. Super cool, the Lord works in mysterious ways. 

Well hey that's all the time I have for today. You guys are the best. Love you
