July 18th 2016


I am going to be Training a new missionary for the next 12 weeks! I got the call from President Rehm, my mission president, and I am going to be driving up to Colorado Springs to get my new companion. I am really excited to find out who he is and work with him and learn from him as we work together the next 3 months.

This upcoming week we have what the people in the Valley very fervently call "Mormon Christmas" it is the Pioneer celebration the entire valley comes and visitors from everywhere come and take part in the Parade, and other festival type stuff! Our mission is hosting a Family history both! I have come to find I really love Family history. It is so much fun and you can learn so much about where you came from! Love it!

This week we went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders and while I was in Alamosa I somehow committed to do an interpretive dance of a scripture next time I see the family. I am really not sure how... but that is a thing that happened this week and I thought I would share. I will send a video if it is a good dance. So there will probably not be a video.

We have been working like crazy this past week and we are so excited for the upcoming weeks we have a lot of investigators that have been coming to church and so many have been prepared by our heavenly father to hear our message about the Gospel of the Savior. I have come to see just how much the Lord is in this work as well. This one woman we work with recently moved and she has a lot more free time to talk with us and she has read through 2 Nephi! In only like 2 weeks. She has really loved the message of the Gospel and came to church yesterday!

At the end of this Transfer I have been reflecting on the missionary work in the Sanford area and it has really taken off the past 6 weeks. I know that the reason for that is because the members have been helping us out so much. I am going to giving a talk in about 3 weeks about missionary work and I wanted some for your stories about working with missionaries. What have you seen work and what have sort of things do you like to see Elders and sisters doing? Look forward to reading your stories!

Love you all and Hope that you are having a wonderful summer!
