Image
Hello hello! I love you all so much! I hope each of you know that! In a time not to distant I will be home but for now.... I have work to do. This past week we had a trio for two days and it was so much fun wow. I have never had a trio on my mission and God knows why It was so goofy and we had so much fun! We also worked hard and had some cool experiences! Transfers came and I am staying with my companion in the same area but I will be a sistrict leader again! We have 2 sets of sisters and both are training first Transfer missionaries! They are elect! It will be an awesome Transfer. On Transfer day we drove so so much. We drove around dropping people and luggage off like crazy! That morning we helped some guy from Utah who has a moving company move someone into a mansion from 8-10am, then drove and got ready for transfers at 11am, left transfers as soon as we could and dropped Elders off, came back, drove sisters luggage 30 minutes across town, ate lunch, went to service, language...

Family and Friends how I love each and all of you! Im going to try to keep this breif but try my best to share some of the Miracles and lessons I have been both seeing and experiencing out here! This past week has been so miracle filled! On Tuesday for District Council I pulled up all of our numbers as a District for the last 6 weeks and we talked and counciled about the trends we were seeing in out areas. We talked and discussed true and correct principles in the purpose of Numbers and Goal setting in missionary work and unified together as a District to get 7 lessons with members. The week prior was one amd pir 6 week hight was 7 so we felt the need to achieve. We recognized a pattern of our church attendance correlating with out members being present.

What up!!! This past week has been so awesome! Very fulfilling and lots of hard work! Let me break it down for ya! Monday like I mentioned I took my companion fishing and now he is addicted to it haha. It was his first time and he caught a couple bluegill. We had zone conference and it was so powerful and so Bold! Exactly what's needed as im preparing to finish my mission strong. I have been setting mini goals to change up how I approach people and make things more intentional and we have seen some awesome miracles! I went on an exchange with an Elder I love Elder Clayton and we talked to so many people and gave out through Books of Mormons and extended 1 baptismal date. I love seeing God work in the details of the lives of others we meet. It's been raining for like 3 days here it's crazy I've never used an umbrella so much! Our friend Derrick came to church and he is working towards Baptism next week!! After the rain settled we went to the lake and pro...

The power of the Priesthood 5-18-2026

What up what up! Im going to keep this one as little more breif because our member has a pond stocked with bass and im gonna teach my companion how to fish. This past week has been one where I have learned a lot of things about myself and what God may have in store for me and with that I was trying me best to work hard. I got sick but continued to run every morning because that is my focus to get a good habit of doing cardio(I hate cardio but these endorphins aren't free) I was like come on why am I getting sick im just trying to do the Lords work. With that I sought a priesthood blessing and although I have been sick all week I have been sustained. I felt God's power carry me and I know its because of the Priesthood. My testimony in that is firm. I have less than two months left and I am just trying to give my all. We had stake conference and it was powerful. I love the Oakton Stake its the best and I feel at home here! (It's been 7 1/2 months) I'll close with one ...

Mother's day 5-11-2026

Well well if it ain't another week. A glorious one if I might add because it was Mother's Day. Shout out to all of the moms and future mothers out there. Woman hold the greatest influence out there and the biggest one for sure is my own mother. She is the best!! She taught me all the good I know. She is an example to me of what a true mother in every sense is. She is one who raised 4 boys 5 if you count my father. God bless you Mom I love you. This past week I have had a lot of special experience, but also a lot of up and downs. Can't expect anything less. This past week our on date friend came to church! He is 16 loves boxing and football. Good kid who loves God. His grandmother is a returning member so the ward is so excited! I got to minister to my Friend and Recent convert in Vienna from almost a year ago who is preparing to go through the Temple! We talked for an hour and 40 minutes over the phone. I have also had the special privilege to lead over two sisters servi...

Hope of Israel 5-4-2026

Honestly writing this I don't have too much to say except I love all and each of you! This past week has been Miracle filled as well as full off opposition! I don't want to call it your average Missionary week because there is nothing average in terms of God's work and the Miracles He performs daily! I remember as I write now that Tuesday was kind of crazy haha. Sunday- Tuesday we were on foot and let the sisters borrow our car. We had a meeting and their car just got out of the shop and we were gonna be late so we quickly swapped cars and we got out of there quick. 5 minutes later we realize that the sisters have the keys still to our car.(It's a button press to start) So we drive 15 miles in northern Virginia which is like a 30-45 minute drive with traffic. We don't go by distance we go by time here in NOVA. So yeah that was fun we drove 40 plus minutes with no Keyes and we survived! Wednesday we did service for a less active lady who hasn't been to chu...

Panama 4-27-2026

What up what up what up!! I love you all so much don't you all forget that! This past week has been something of a miracle to me. Let me break it down. We got transfer news and Elder Fushtei from Ukraine got transfered and I stayed. I got a new companion named Elder Moran from Panama and he is awesome! As Elder Fushtei and I were finishing off transfers he really showed love and gratitude for me and it was a tender experience. He gave me his angel Moroni Tie, his signed baseball hat and said to me, Elder Williams I am going to miss you... thank you... Those simple words make all the difference in every aspect of life. Im forever thankful for him and for my Savior Jesus Christ. This transfer there is a lot of energy. We had a 3 hour leadership meeting and a huge emphasis was dilligence and Urgency. It made me so excited because I am ready to run the last stretch of my mission and see some of the greatest miracles. Since the transfer started our district is on fire, my new compan...
