A crazy Week

SO this week was nuts busy... we hardly were able to keep up with everything we had to do.

Monday was super cool. So after all of our p-day stuff. We went to dinner and then to FHE in the YSA ward. Elder Markham was kinda dragging his feet about it...didn't really want to go and all I really cared about was having something to do in the evening. We get there and the lesson is average and the treats are average and I am still thinking to myself "well at least we weren't wandering around outside in the cold. that would suck." when a member says to us "hey Elders come talk to this guy he isn't a member!" So we talk to the guy(his name is Taylor) and ask him when we could meet with him. He says "would now work?" OF COURSE!!! so we had a quick 20 minute lesson with him and committed him to baptism on the @ of January! We had two more lessons with him this week, both of which we were able to take members to. He is super willing to learn and to change! Turns out he has already been taught so we just have to review some things with him and help him live the commandments! He committed to be at church and came! He was super fellowshipped at church. It was awesome! He was a minute or two late and we were waiting for him in the hall. Right when he was showing up one of the members (Dallon) we took to see him walked out and started talking to him. We walked in and sat down and Taylor tried to sit down with us, but Dallon wasn't having any of that. He pushed his row of 6 friends and his older brother over to make room for Taylor !!! It was super awesome! Needless to say we both have better attitude toward FHE now.

On Tuesday we had our Zone Meeting! It went Super awesome! especially considering this months chapter out of preach my gospel is super dry.

We met with Douglas and took Br. Hume again. They get along really well and we are hoping to get him to church next Sunday. If he doesn't come we will probably drop him.

We also met with Tim again. We read the introduction to the book of Mormon with him and committed him to church.. but he didn't come so we have to figure out where he was...

Nothing else miracle wise. Just a lot of running around trying to meet everyone.

PS. So you guys may or may not remember an Andrew  that I was teaching in my last area. He got BAPTIZED!! I was able to make it to the first half of the baptismal service, but had to leave after the ordinance. I have pictures... but not my sd card reader... so I will get them to you next week!

The beginning of Missionary work in a YSA ward

So this week was nuts... we had a lot of meetings and planning to do for our zone. We had a training meeting with the AP's and President and then we led a training meeting with our district leaders. We also planned for our zone training meeting that is coming up. We did, amidst all of the meetings, manage to make it to the YSA FHE and to Institute Thursday evening. We also managed to find a new family in our family ward. The mom was a self referral and we managed to teach her and her daughter! It was an awesome lesson! We took a priest from our ward and he bore an awesome testimony of the Book of Mormon... otherwise he was pretty quiet hahah Poor guy. it was only his second time out with missionaries and the lady had some questions... (normal to us, crazy to the young man) like do we have crosses in our church? and how we pray? how she should pray? the identity and existence of our mother in heaven. Hahahah it was a great lesson though!

I love this season and the spirit it brings! If you want that spirit check out this awesome video at

Wow.....

So this week was nuts..... today is transfer day... so we are super busy. this will be a short one.

Me and Elder Markham are the same... but we are taking over a YSA ward and another zone... so we are busy and more busy.

We had to drop Joe and Alicia... they don't want to get married and Joe pretty much told us that if he could drive he wouldn't go to our church anyway... so that was sad :(

We found a new investigator his name is Tim. He is cool. He wants to get baptized and come to church!

On thanksgiving one of our investigators had us over to his family dinner. We met his wife officially for the first time and she was really interested in what we do as missionaries! The turkey was the best turkey ever so juice and tasty!! And then at the dinner a guy for my first ward walks in! It was super cool!! hadn't seen him in like a year! Also had another dinner with a ward member that day... and pie at another member's house who had us over... so much food.. so good...

Sadly my second companion is going home to day... so that is me and him! 

and this is most of my MTC group... first time lots of us had seen each other in awhile!
