Well well well hello there people of the email list! This week has definitely been something to remember! So lets get started with the highlights!  The trio!  So for the first 4 days of the week, Monday-Thursday I was with the zone leaders in a trio! I totally had mixed feelings about the whole ordeal! I loved being with Elder Wells and Fawson! They are incredible Elders but every lesson I felt like the odd duck. I felt like I was not included in the lessons. It also could have been that the people dont know me. But I feel like if I was in a trio someone would constantly be left out. But I did have one fire lesson where everything ended up working out great and I was able to tie one of this lady's interests to the gospel! She is going into Psychology and I asked her if there was a relationship between the 2 and what it did. She said she saw somehting one time saying that prayer creates positive brain stuff to make you happy! So Pray! The psychology lady says it is good to do a...

Alright hello people of the email list! Hope you are all doing well!  This week is kind of been nuts so let's get right into it! Car Crash! Yep! I got in a wreck! I totaled the whole vehicle and 3 people died. Just joking, Elder Larsen and Elder Walker did though on their way home from the church on pday! They were making a left turn and some lady ran a red light and slammed into the back end of the car! The air bags on the whole side went off and they couldnt drive it. So they call us up at around 9 and ask if we could drive over and pick them up and take them to the autobody shop here in medford. So we do that and they end up asking us if we can take them back home and lets just say with everything that happened it ended up being a super late night out here on the mission. We didnt get home till around 11 and our curfew is supposed to be 9 so that was fun. I am sure president would understand.  Exchanges with Elder Fawson Alrighty so next on the list is exchanges with my zon...

Hello people of the email list! Welcome to this weeks email! This week was kind of slow except for the last couple days so I guess lets get into it.  John's situation: Well we learned that my good friend and only progressing person that we are teaching had his hours changed. So that means he cannot really do our 3 meetings a week and it might be back to 1. We are hoping that he will want to meet with us at his own home. I guess this is the ultimate test of faith. Does he really want to keep progressing or does he want to just drop it right there? I guess we will find out! District council: This week in district council we talked a ton about Covenants and how important they are. President Nelson talks about how once you make a covenant with our Heavenly Father it is like a chain. He will never give up on you. Even if someone might not be living the covenants fully he will still be willing to help you get back on track and hold on to the iron rod. I absolutely love talking about cove...

Well hello there people of the email list. It is that time of the week again. You get to hear from yours truly. Your probably suprised that I am still kicking. It has felt like eternity. Just kidding. This week has been a rollercoaster. So lets get started. IM IN A TRIO Just kidding. I am not actually in a trio but my district leader Elder Radcliff wanted to give his greenie a chance to practice spanish so he sent him with the spanish elders for the day and Elder Fossat and I got to hangout with Radcliff for the day. It was actually way fun. I can tell if I am ever in a trio it would have its ups and downs. But we did make a ton of jokes and it was just hilarious.  We taught this guy named John (Seriously! What is with all these Johns!) about the Articles of Faith. One thing stood out to me while studying for the lesson. The gathering of israel happened when God confounded all the languages after the tower of Babel. I have always thought of it as a physical thing where they all leg...

Im just joking, Yes I did shower before church! But it is still funny to say that to some people. They just think your either very gross or funny.  Anyways, it is the new year! Holy smokes! I did not know that when you become old the years go by like a flash! It feels just like yesterday that I was graduating High School! Or celebrating last New years with my family! This year has been one of the most chaotic years of my life. So much has happened!  One thing I wanted to mention before I get started is the importance of Goals! Thoughts lead into action. Goals make actions that seem almost impossible possible. Just take the first small step. I have set up some spiritual Goals for myself this next coming year. I want to follow Come follow me every week this year. I am going to do this by studying it for little bits of my personal study every day as well as have a more in depth one Thursday morning. I promise that as all of us seek to make spiritual goals, Heavenly Father will bl...
