Week 34: Back in the Saddle

THE WIND$OR DISTRICT

CHEESIN

First week back in Colorado was a riot. 

Elder Bogle is my new companion. He's from Arizona and was Elder Huntsman's MTC companion. He's a great guy I like him a lot. He has a very strong desire to work super hard and it keeps me super motivated. I love it. We knocked a whole lot of doors this week cause we have a goal set as a mission of how many non members we want to talk to everyday. It's been a lot of fun. Tracting is almost therapeutic to me, it's so nice. 

I had the opportunity to go on an exchange yesterday with an elder I really love to be around. His diligence is very contagious and we were able to see a lot of miracles throughout the day. I know the Lord will bless those who are diligent. 

We had a regional conference on Sunday and got to hear from Elder Holland. He talked about how Zion is wherever the righteous are. I love that concept because it really shows the importance of strengthening those around us. That's something I've found very true being on a mission. When we strengthen those around us, things become a whole lot easier and our lives become a lot more consecrated and holy. 

We got to go to the temple as a zone this morning which was fantastic. It was so awesome to be able to feel of the spirit that is there. It's always a great experience.

Well I hope you all have a great week. 

LOVE YOU

Week 33: We are EATON good tonight #Re2urnFromExile

The Walkers (a.k.a. the G.O.A.T.S)

Young (not really) elder Cerezo and I as usual

As stated in the subject line, my days in the Land of Riverton have come to a close. It's certainly very difficult to be leaving because of all of the amazing relationships I've made. I am looking forward to coming back someday to visit all the great people here. 

Tomorrow I'll be making the long journey back to the mission office and from there I will be heading to Eaton, Colorado where I will be in a trio. I am very excited for this opportunity for more change. I have found that that is where the most growth occurs. 

This past week was great, we were able to finish up the lessons with Crystal who will be getting baptized next Saturday, so it's really too bad that I'll miss that, but I'm excited for her.

Elder Huntsman will be staying here for a little while longer by the way. He will do great I'm excited for him. 

My new address is: 

6607 W 3rd St K-1101 Greeley, CO 80634

Thank you for all that you do for me. I wish I was better at writing weekly emails, I will accept any and all feedback on how I can be more interesting of a human being. 

Read D&C 122 it's a goodie 

Till next time..

Week 32: Most Uneventful Week of My Mission

 

I apologize but honestly nothing really notable happened this week. We have been working hard without much success but it'll come! We're not even phased. #TrustTheProcess 

But yeah we went to mission prep Sunday night so that was like the highlight. It was awesome to see people so excited to serve. 

The church is still true for those who are wondering. 

Transfer doc comes out this Saturday so I should hopefully have more to report on next week. Thanks for all you do. 

Even though no one really sends me mail, I would recommend holding off on that just in case I get shipped out.
