Week 3: Maryland Bound

Hi everyone!!

I won't be able to write much this week. We aren't having an official Pday since we are leaving tomorrow. 4 elders from our district left this morning. That was kinda sad. You create a strong bond with one purpose and grow so close within days and then after a couple weeks we have to all separate. It sucks!

This week has been really good though!! I still kinda have a cold, but it is getting better. I also don't really want to leave the MTC! I am so excited to get to Maryland though!!!!

We did floral Friday with our ties

and We did a tie signing with one of our teachers!!! That was cool and I got his tie because he liked mine and wanted to trade!!

I got a haircut on Saturday. That was the most violent and fastest haircut I've ever gotten!!!

I just want to share that I know this gospel is true and that Christ is our Savior and that he died and lives again for us! And I know that our Heavenly Father loves me and you and is watching over me and will protect me as I serve Him and bring His children back to Him!

Something that I really love is this scripture. D&C 18:15 "And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!" If all I can do on my mission is grow closer to God, I'm a successful missionary. It doesn't matter how many people I convert or baptize as long as I am converted.

Thank you all so much for your support! I will write next week from Maryland!

Week 5: A Man on the Porch

Hello Everyone! This week was pretty lax! just the normal contacting and handing out copies of the Book of Mormon. We had a trainer- trainee meeting with the president and I got to see all my MTC buddies!! That was really cool!! As for my week its been pretty normal! There was one guy I'd given a card to before that we saw on his porch. We went up to him and talked to him and he was very interested. We talked for about 15 minutes, gave him a Book of Mormon and asked him to read the intro, and then started to walk away. I felt prompted to go back and ask to bring up Mormon.org on his phone (he was watching Netflix when we walked up) He let me pull it up and I explained what is was about and asked him to look through it and watch some of the videos. 2 days later we were in the same neighborhood and saw him on his porch again. We decided to go up to him and as we got closer we saw he was reading something or on his phone again. As we got ...

Week 10: Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween, This week was insane!! Good and bad!! We had 2 amazing days in a row. We decided to make a goal to find someone or get a referral for each one of us this week. We prayed and asked for help finding 3 people we could get in with and baptize this transfer. That day we came in contact with at least 5 solid people. One we gave to the sisters and she is doing awesome! The others we are getting in with today and at our trunk or treat. Some members invited their neighbors and we gave them a church tour. They are now wanting to learn more and THEY asked us how long it takes until they can get baptized! We have gotten at least 1 referral a day! God really blesses you when you turn to him and ask for help. Now onto the bad(ish) part of my week. On Friday I was emergency exchanged to Clarksville. The elders there weren't doing well with each other and the assistants had to go and keep the peace until we could get there. They called ...
