Friends family I love you all so much! I'm super tired this week so it might be a bit shorter. My main hope and prayer is that each of you just know of the infinite love our Father in Heaven has for each of us and the love that Our Savior and I have for yall. This past week was transfer week and I got the news I am staying! Not going to lie I know I am here for a reason but somedays I want out haha. This past week we got a crazy snow storm and so here are some fun things we did this past week! -Dug our tracker out from icy snow - Moved a new apartment in the snow -Had a dinner and devotional with the new missionaries - Transfers! -Extended two baptism dates - Had a spirit filled church tour! - Had an hour and a half long meeting with the YouTuber "outdoor boys" where he taught us how to grow our Facebook mission pages - Had a leadership meeting -Almost passed out - Shoveled our African Friend's driveway -Trained the MLC on accountability vision and administrative...

My dear family and friends. What a crazy week I have had. My mission is awesome I really do just love it. Among all of the ups and downs there is no better place, way, or means to learn the things I have been learning on my mission. I will forever be grateful for and forever be blessed by my mission. Here is how my week went! Tuesday we had district council and zone council that was awesome! We also had office time and then waffles with a secret service member. We had a lesson and then had accountability zoom meetings with us, the aps, and President and Sister Macpherson for 3 different zones for an hour and a half. Busy busy but full of the spirit! Wednesday we hooked up the good Ole truck and trailer and picked up 2 service missionaries and moved 2 apartments. One of them was disgusting and loaded with a buch of random things I just threw away or donated. We had 4 companionship help us and I got to see one of the missionaries I trained and love to death! Out of the 2 servic...

Ahh my dear family and friends! How truly you are loved and needed! You are each important and are here for a purpose. For that I am grateful. I am grateful for all of the blessings that has been given to me and those yet to come as well as those I have neglected to recognize. I am grateful for the Atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His infinite meekness in traversing and trodding the wine press alone. I am forever grateful for the difficult path of discipleship we must all walk for the gate and the path is narrow, but prepared for those who walk it. That is what I wish to focus on this week. My mission is not a 2 year mission. There is endless opportunity for Joy in the lord's service. For the past little bit I have been focusing intently on preparing myself in all that I do and allowing God to shape me for fully into the man that He has set me out to become. I have been trying to refine my Discipline/Discipleship and climb my mountains. I love this years theme for the s...

What up what up what up! Boy howdy I do love each and every single one of yall. After writing so many emails it can be difficult coming up with cold openings these days, but the main point I always want to get across is that I love you, God loves you, and we are grateful for you. I'm doing pretty solid I had a fantastic personal spiritual week I won't share to much about, but just know that I know without a doubt our Savior Jesus Christ lives and walks with each of us and our Father in Heaven is ever mindful of us and has perfect and incomprehensible love for each of us. Tuesday was pretty solid and mega busy we bounced from district council to the office, then a lesson, to dinner, and then to an hour and a half long MLC call. I find myself busy most days. Wednesday we moved a set of Elders and picked up 5 new bikes out in the furthest part of our mission and covered bedding for 2 ets that happened. Let's just say we were slammed and had not much time to prosselite...

Family friends loved ones oh what a fantastic new year it is! 2025 was a trip. I wouldn't trade it for the world though 2025 for me and im sure many others could be summed up in one verse... It'd probably be Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. It's been a hard year but my testimony of the Gospel and the lessons I have learned are invaluable. I am excited to take on a new year with lots in store for 2026! This past week was something of miracle! Tuesday we had President interviews and district council so our day was shot absolutely barely any time to find. Wednesday was new years eve and we had some runs we had to make and we had to be home by 6 so boom another day shot! Thursday was new years day and we had to drive on the far end of the mission to give a companionship some bikes and boom! Another day shot we got stuck outside our area longer than I anticipated and would have liked. Friday ...

Helloo friends and family! Merry Christmas! My hope and prayer is that this Christmas was special for each one of you. I guess yall will just have to send me an email telling me all about it! Im grateful for each one of you and I want yall to know that you are special to me and to a loving Father in Heaven who sent our Savior and King down to this earth in a Lowly manger just for you...yes you. This week has been exhausting, but yet fun and fulfilling. I have learned a lot haha. Tuesday we had district and Zone meetings till 12:30 and then we had MLC following that until 5! Lots of spiritual meetings and some good council! It was there in MLC we vocalized our Assignment and got feedback from the MLC. Let's just say there is a lot of work to be done this transfer. The goal is to baptize 44 for Christ, but we are updating the culture of the mission and ramping up accountability to help us have a baseline of 44, then 50, then 60, and so on until the day we baptize 153 in a month....
