I wouldn't know how to describe this week if I was asked to summarize it in one sentence so let's just refer to it as one of the weeks of all time. I'll just start off by saying training is not easy this week early on was super hard a lot of emergency comp studies if you know what I mean but we are chilling now we work well together it just took a hot second. We had a lot of meetings, President interviews, and lots of rain. Oh also had an exchange! Oh and it was stake conference weekend!! A little Miracle that has been taking place in our area is this lady named Cynthia we are teaching accepted a baptismal date and she Is getting baptized on June 8th! She is one of those people who are just so incredibly gfited and part of the believing blood and receives revelation like none other! Let's just say the veil is especially thin for her. When we knocked into her and introduced the Book Of Mormon she was so excited she knew God was omnipotent and had additional scripture...

Wow what an absolutely crazy week. This week was so spirit filled and so hard it's crazy... Tuesday was powerful we had district council and we recapped the past 6 weeks of the transfer and usually for each week I give a training on a given subject. This particular time I didn't have a theme or a subject so I wrote the past 5 weeks on the board minus this last week and left it blank waiting on the lord...As we were counseling as a district I don't even remember what we were talking about, but it hit me like a brick....The answer and subject was unity...The spirit of the Lord prevailed. That day transfer boards and that evening I looked at the transfer focus and the focus for the transfer was unity. God speaks and his ways are high holy and magnificent. In the spirit of revelation I was called to be a trainer,again. I have had a lot of spiritual manifestations leading up to the transfer that this one was going to be very hard but impactful, something I needed. Leading ...

To explain the title of this email I will first describe how to make chicken stock (sorry to my culinary teacher if you read this and it's slightly wrong) Put simple you put roasted chicken bones along with some vegetables like celery, onions, carrots, and garlic along with some herb seasonings and put all of that in a pot filled with water and turn on the heat. You wanna get it to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer it preferably for 24 hours for better flavor. Throughout the process of cooking the impuritys from the ingredients rise to the surface in a foamy/scum like way that is not at all good you wanna remove that from the stock using a spoon or something. Throughout the 24 hour cooking process those impuritys just keep coming to the surface and it sucks it's annoying always scraping them out until eventually....it's done and we get to use a strainer!! You strain out all of the soup stock and trash the bones and now flavorless veggies and keep the good liquids, ...

This week was one for the Books not in terms of success but in terms of knowledge and pure power that comes from testimony and conversation to Christ. It was zone conference week and it was so powerful. Our mission leaders presented a training on the nature of God and his purpose and love for us. Something I liked was an analogy of how God is not an umpire trying to throw us out of the game but a 3rd base umpire cheering, leading, and guiding us home safely. Too often we make mistakes as human as we are and we feel God's Judgment and "wrath" upon us but in reality his love is infinite and will do anything to help us return home. He gave us his son Jesus Christ to emulate his love for us. When Jesus is asked about the father he says we are one. "If you have seen me you have seen the father" The savior is always outstretched towards us filled with perfect love and compassion for us..Just as the Father. This is what I needed to hear and what we all need to he...

This week was one for the Books I won't lie when Friday rolled around I may have overdid myself. I have a large district and I conducted 3 exchanges, did a two hour workshop for over half the zone, and just put all of the weight on me that's something I'm really good at is taking responsibility and having this weight on my shoulders. It's something iv been struggling with my whole mission but without further Adu let us get into the bulk of the week... Monday was interesting we basically were at the mission home for a minute and then had a member meal and not much was able to be done but, Tuesday!!! Wow Zone Accountability and District council was so revalatory it was awesome! We counciled as a district and came up with the most amazing flow ever in regards to first contacts lessons and whatever it may be and as we used it we saw so many miracles in all of our areas. We then split off and did a tri exchange for the rest of the day and covered three different areas....

I know I have said this previously but this past week has been the Craziest week of not only my mission but my whole life up until this point....Monday was interesting I was able to feel so locked in with the spirit and I was comforted knowing the Lord is proud of how I use my stewardship and received a ton of reassurance and felt God's Grace and his love for me and that to me is a miracle. Tuesday I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do for my training in District council so what did I do? I prayed so hard and so many ideas flooded my mind and picked one and stuck with it and studied hard. I knew that the Lord loves effort and he just wants us to Go and Do and he will lead us as we do that. It was such an inspired training taking in a fact of all 7 missionaries in my district all of their strengths and weaknesses the Lord was able to take that and run with it. I felt the spirit so strong giving that training. I never wanna not have the spirit with me. We later the...

This week has been one of the most impactful weeks I have had in my life and I attribute all of it to my savior Jesus Christ. This has indeed been a Sacred and Holy Week. I will just share some of the Few miracles I have seen without getting too personal. These past 7 weeks have been hard that's all I will say everyone is allowed to struggle and should struggle that is how we overcome, Grow, and find rest in Jesus Christ. He invites is to continously to come unto him and it's not just a one time event. We are invited to follow him and take up our cross daily, buttttt, he also invite us to... "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" He wants us to be bound to him daily and walk with him daily, so that we may learn of him continously and find rest in him. Tuesday w...

Wow what a week this past week has been. As I have reflected more on my savior Jesus Christ and came to worship him leading up to this Easter season I have felt so much peace and Joy amidst all of the pain and sorrow. Tuesday was our last district council for the transfer and it was so powerful everyone came together and bore testimony of The spirit and why they baptize and I felt God's love. That night transfer boards were going to drop and I was so stressed out and anxious for no reason whatsoever and when they dropped I saw that I am staying in the same area with my companion and district leading a large district with some of the best missionaries and I just felt peace wash over me and the spirit confirmed that this is right and God gave me his errand. Wednesday I took it to heart and I felt the fire and the desire to reconsencrate myself daily to the lord and focus on him in all that I do as I once did. If I could describe last transfer I'd describe it as fun but also re...

This past week has been absolutely amazing and filled with so many fun times! Monday we went and rode our bikes down to the southern part of our area from 6-9 like usual it's where most of our finding is and we ended up getting hit by a huge rainstorm and we got dumped on. It was a 20 minute bike ride in just pure down pour and heavy wind speed it was like Nephi tied up on the boat getting pounded by the heavy rain storm it was crazy. We got cooked. That next day my phone would not charge because it got jacked up due to the rain but the issue resolved itself a few days later haha. Tuesday we had an emergency all mission zoom call where our mission president just re-emphasized some standards on staying safe and reminders of some protocols. Totally was not expecting that but he shared some spiritual stuff I really appreciated and helped me alot. We had district council and zone accountability and it's always been hard this transfer but this specific Tuesday I felt I was called ...

Wow this week was something else I can say that I have seen God's hand in my life. We had some amazing miracles and heavily manifestations. Monday we had like 3 sets of Elders help somone move with us and it was so much fun and then we went to the driving range and hit some Golf balls with one of our youth. Tuesday was wow. We had district council and it is always something I care heavily about. We had some great discussions and then I gave a training on teaching and exemplifing like the savior. One of my favorite things ever is to be an instrument in the Lords hands when I am teaching or speaking and to just love others. I always feel Joy when I do that. Afterwards my companion and I had endless boneless wings and we both broke at 20 and I about died it was aweful. After that miracles just started flowing. We found a couple people just walking around the Safeway parking lot and saw so many miracles. We have actually been finding people again! My moring p studys have been grea...
