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 us and said they prayed and felt like I should come alone for a couple days.  That was super weird.  We thought they would have sent a zone leader but they sent me.  That couple days went by and I just exchanged back earlier today.  I had to plan and make sure we were doing everything we were supposed to and I am exhausted.  They also didn't have food in their apt so I didn't eat anything but dinner for 4 days.  It really humbled me though.  I fasted on Sunday and asked God to help me deal with my frustration toward the elder I was working with.  I also realized I now know I can lead and I know how to plan and do everything I need to.  It was all for my good! God really knows what we need!!

Love,
Elder Bryce Apgood

Week 1: Provo MTC

Hey everyone!!! I can't tell you enough how happy I am it's P-day! It's been a crazy week and I've learned a ton! The MTC is pretty great, and the food isn't too bad! But exercise time is the best! Me and my comp have been able to teach 3 role play investigators so far. 2 of them we taught for the first time yesterday. One of them was a lady who was in her 70's and her daughters are members. One of them died during child birth, and she had promised her that she'd give the church a chance so she talked to us! The spirit was so strong and it being only our 3rd lesson we had notes ready to use but didn't look at them once! The spirit taught the lesson completely! I don't even remember what we said it was so powerful!! At the end of the lesson we asked her to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know what it and we say is true. At that point she said " I will read it and I will pray. However, I already know what you say is true...

Week 9: TWO MONTHS and Blessings of an Eagle Project

Hello All! Its crazy to think its been 2 months! It feels like it flew by but it has been forever long too!! This week was busy! On Tuesday we just procelited and helped Elder Palmer get ready to leave! Wednesday we dropped him off and got our new companion, Elder Ainsworth.  We got a few groceries, went home and dropped everything off. Then we had service until like 4, planned, studies and went proceliting around 6.  Thursday we had service for someone, after that My comps had a meeting with the DLs so the normal Joe blows got together and I got to drive for the first time in 2 months and we went to a couple of potentials.  After that we went back and did normal proceliting.  Friday we helped a member roof his shed! My Eagle Project came in handy and I shingled it with him! Again we didn't procelite until around 6! Before we went out I said a prayer asking since we didn't have a lot of time to be guided to where we could find someone and maybe get a referral....

Week 2: Provo MTC

Hey Everyone!  I got my itinerary!!! I will NOT get another Pday but we might get to  email Monday ! In class we have been learning about looking for and finding evidences of faith in our investigators.  If they don't feel comfortable praying then have them read or just listen and think.  Last week went by so fast!!!  We get new teachers this week which kinda sucks! i liked my teachers!   I feel like I've grown a lot since I've been here! Somehow its only been 2 weeks! some awesome stuff i want to share with you:  If you don't know if the spirit is telling you something or if its your own thoughts Elder Bednar says " Just quit worrying about it! Go forward with faith and as long as you're worthy you'll have the spirit with you" I love that and i know i have a lot of times where i don't know if its me or the spirit! Another couple quotes i like are "You need to feed your faith before you feed your doubts"  "People don't care ...
