Hello Everyone! I hope you are all doing well! Life here has been nothing crazy but it has been enjoyable. I hope everyone had an awesome thankgiving! Hope you all had a fun Black Friday and whatever else yall had this week! Anyway, here are the highlights! There has been a lot of changes between this transfer and last! There is about half of us that stayed. Some of my good friends are in a quadpan now with the zone leaders. So that is definitely interesting. I am really looking forward to christmas in this zone! There are some awesome friends that are in this zone!  We did have an awesome experience where we went and visited with our newly baptised member Joshua! It has been a bit since he has been to church and it definitelly has taken a toll on him. But this time we go over there and he told us he visited with Brother Garcia and that he quit smoking again! Keep Joshua in your prayers! He is an incredible guy! This is probably the happiest I have ever seen him! Thanksgiving on th...

Brand New Transfer!

Hello Hello! This is your weekly reminder of my existence I hope you are all doing well! I Know it is late, and I am tired so i am going to make this quick. Somehow I ended up staying here in merlin! I thought for sure I was leaving! I am so glad to stay here for thanksgiving and christmas this next transfer.  I got a brand new companion! He is on his second transfer, his name is Elder Kartchner. He is pretty chill. I like him a lot. He actually came from the cave junction area which is in this zone so I have gotten to know him all of last transfer which is way fun!  One of the ladies we are teaching is very funny and when I told her we got a new companion she told me she didnt trust him and that she wouldnt let him in her house! I didnt know that elder Kartchner gave out so many negative vibes. He is a good guy! She is really bipolar sometimes! She is wack.  We did have an awesome lesson with Chris, We invited her to become baptised with proper authority and she said she...

Hows it going everyone! I realised this morning that I didnt write my emiail last night like I ususally do. Thank you marshall. Anyways, lets get right to it. Exchanges with the super chargers So the possition of AAP got changed a couple of transffers back to what they call the supercharged missionaries. or the MLTs. (mission leadership trainers). ANyways, they decided it would be so fun to come do exchanges with Elder Merrill and I As well as our friends Elder Robison and Ferrin. Now if you have been on or are currently on a mission, it is a common rule of thumb to not say some things around leadership. especially the Aps. One of the guys didnt get the memo and started saying all this crap that made a couple of us other guys cringe super bad. So i am pretty sure I am getting transfered out now. I guess this is how the lord wants it to go.  Shirley and Chris On thursday we had 2 awesome lessons! One was with our good friend Shirley Dastrup and one with Chris. Shirleys we decided it...

Welcome back to my email list! You guys know the drill at this point. I am still alive and doing well! We actually didnt have very many funny stories this week but Ill tell you a little bit about some of the people we have been working with the last little bit!  JD and John Carlson Middle of the week we went and gave these 2 a blessing. They have been less active for the last little bit and have since been working on coming back. More JD than john. But we go over to their house and it is like a super off the grid house. Everything is run off of the land around it. it was kind of cool to go to. Well John used to be a Melchezidek priesthood holder and he asked if he could be part of the blessing. So that kind of was the coolest part of the experience because he was trying to do better and to stay worthy of the wonderful power. And JD came to church with us this week in his new suit he was excited to show us!  Chris Merl So I might have mentioned Chris, maybe once, but she is thi...
