Murry Christmas

This week was awesome! We had an amazing zone activity where we passed out hot cocoa to shoppers in the mall! It was sooooo fun! But this week was full of miracles. It was so great. We also had Zone Conference and that was dang good!!! It was all about the Savior and who He is and what He did for us! It was so great! 

 we worked our booties off this week to get Salina back to its full potential. Sorry this is so short..... I'm lazy cuz tomorrow's Christmas...... well I love y'all!!!!!!

Week of Miracles!

Hey Yall! This week was pretty great actually! To start off I am in Salina KS! My companion is Elder Olsen and he is from South Jordan UT! He actually went into the MTC on the same day as me! So I met him once or twice! But leaving Manhattan was really sad. I love that place sooooooooo much. But it's all good Salina is great the people are cool and were ready to start Makin it happen here! 
We saw some amazing miracles this week! First off MARIE GOT BAPTIZED!!!!! IT WAS SO GREAT I GOT TO GO BACK AND TAKE PART IN IT IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!  That was amazing she asked me to preform the baptism and it was great when we were standing in the water and she went under I remembered our times we met with her! She's amazing I'm so happy and excited for her!!!!! 

But here in Salina it's amazing we had 2 people just walk into church and that was a big miracle! And we also met the Riggs family. They're so amazing we knocked in the door Saturday and they said to come back Sunday and we tried in the afternoon like they asked but no one answered but later that evening we were prompted to go over again. So we did and we had an amazing lesson with them!!!! 
Y'all I love being a missionary! It's literally the best thing ever! I love yall so much! 

Start of Transfer #13

Holy cow........ this is flying by y'all.

This past week was a little hectic but was also one of the best weeks. We had exchanges with the Assistants to the President on Monday and that was fun I went with Elder Bryan and it was a blast so good to see him again! So we called this companionship and asked for a phone number of someone they were teaching because they wouldn't set up an appointment with her. So we get the number and they gave us a fake number but that number ended up being someone in the APS area and is now preparing for baptism haha. Crazy. But we had MLC on Tuesday and that was amazing super revelatory! It was fun seeing Jones and Thompson and all those good guys! Then Wednesday we had to help a senior missionary couple prepare a couple of new apartments for us in Manhattan so that was fun! Then the rest of the week was a blur. But Marie is going to be baptized for sure on Saturday! It has been so good to teach and work with her! So it's amazing to see her finally decide to be baptized! Y'all I love you so much! So you're probably waiting to hear if I'm staying or going huh? Well..................... I'm getting transferred. I don't know where to, but I will know Wednesday! 

No time to think

This week was crazy..... but this next week will be even crazier..... so just an FYI I will be emailing on Friday! But I can send out my weekly today! 

So this week was so awesome I got to go on 2 exchanges! I got to go with Elder Coon from Mapleton Utah and also Elder Martineau from Gilbert AZ! It was so good we saw sooooo MANY MIRACLES!  It was so cool!!!!! 

So we have been talking with Marie still and she's amazing! She told us she knows it's all true but she's scared to accept it cuz of her family. But she's so close!!! Ahhh it's so exciting! We also got back in contact with Zach he's so cool! We got to have him even come to church with us! It was so great! Such a fun week being able to teach so much this week! 

We met this guy Mohammed and he is sooo interested in the Book of Mormon! He read a good bit of it already and it's only been a little while. He reads it in Arabic so he also gets to teach us a little bit too hahaha!

Well that's been my week! It has been one heck of a week! And I have an even busier week this next week! I love yall! Talk to you Friday! 

A week to remember

Heyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

So this week was a crazy one! So many funny things and miracles happened! 

Well to start off last Monday was crazy. So I don't remember seeing a horse ever in my life before or... at least this close...... well we were at a members house and they were takin care of their horses. So we went over to see if they needed any help. And they did......  I got to shove my arm down this things mouth..... it was so funny. 

This whole week we took some time to prepare for a zone blitz that was happening on Sat. What that means is all the missionaries from Harriman KS to Saint Marys KS (16 missionaries) went to Junction City. We all went there and ate island food made by a member. Then we broke up into different companionships and went and worked for 1 hour and tried to commit someone to baptism.... that night.... it was crazy. There were 5 people that could've been baptized that night but none of them chose to be. So what we did was invite them to the church and we had a testimony meeting. It was so powerful. I haven't felt the spirit that strong in a while. 

Lol, idk if y'all saw my instagram post but there was blizzard warnings and it was dumping snow. So they cancelled church.... all us missionaries were pretty sad... so we got permission to have our own little Sacrament meeting. And we did. We all walked about a mile to a mile and a half each way in the blizzard for the sacrament.  It was awesome.... one of the best church services of my life. I will NEVER forget it.

But honestly all week was filled with miracle after miracle! 

 I love y'all so much! Stay safe!!!!

Snow.... again... oh boy

So yes this week it snowed.... I was furious lol but that's okay. 

This week was over all a really good week! We met these really awesome girls from Paraguay! They were so funny. But when we knocked on the door they let us in and teach them. They LOVED THE IDEA OF THE BOOK OF MORMON. That was really cool! 

We had a lot of really good lessons. We taught Marie again she's awesome. I got a little bold with her this last time haha I said "Marie, we both know that you know the Book of Mormon is true and are just kind of scared to admit it because of what it means" and she agreed haha. But it was really awesome!

 We also met with Natalie and she's amazing she read Moroni 6 and loved it she annotated it and marked it all up and down haha. And on exchanged with Elder Jackson we helped ebony learn the importance of the Word of Wisdom! It was a really awesome exchange we went on! 

Over all this week was really awesome. ESPECIALLY because we got to go to the temple as an MLC it was amazing. I learned so much and had an amazing experience happen in the temple. I know we are all children of God and he really does want to speak to us! But that's the gist of my week! I love yall!!!!

Halloween, Transfers, friends, oh my

This week was pretty dope! We spent the whole first half of this week was spent with Elder Jones saying good byes...... so that was REALLY sad..... it was really cool to see how good of relationships you can build in such a short amount of time. It's so crazy! 

Then Wednesday came and I picked up my new companion in Wichita! It was awesome!!!! He's really a cool guy. He is from Syracuse Utah and loves to dirt bike and wake board. He just came here from 2 small towns in a row so it's a little bit of a shock. But it has been DANG cool! 

Lots of really awesome things have been happening. We got to hear from Jeffrey R Holland in our Area Conference! It was awesome! This week will be awesome we will be at the temple tomorrow with the mlc so that will be amazing!

This week was super cool! I went on exchanges literally every other day this week! It was a dang good time. We found a SUPER cool girl named Ebony! She's amazing!!!! We knocked on her door and she let us in and we shared our message with her. She started crying and just said God told her just then she needs to come back to church. It was amazing. She came to stake conference and really enjoyed it! It was awesome! 

We also had a couple members give us some really dope referrals. It was just over all a REALLY GOOD WEEK! I got to go back to Junction again it was so fun.
