merry (late) christmas, and happy new year 🥳🎊



its the new year!! im sooo excited for this next year, its crazy to think about it though. im going to spend all of 2024 on the mish




not much went on last week so I decided to save it all for this weeks email instead. pretty much we just visited a bunch of members and dropped off cookies for a bunch of less active peeps. we had a few good lessons and we were able to get in contact with a lot of people I haden't met yet. this week on the other hand has been packed full of things to do. weve been able to talk to a lot of people this week since most people are home for the hollidays. heres a bit of the highlights:




Christmas

when I woke up Christmas morning I found a bunch of scriptures from all of yall!! thank you so much for sending your favorite scriptures to me! I put all of them in my scriptures so I can see them whenever I flip to that page




satuday (the 30th)

on satuday we saw a pretty cool miricle from knocking doors all day. we decided to hit up this one really long dirt road(all the roads out here are dirt), we made a goal to knock that whole street. an hour and a half later we only had 2 houses left on the street. all of the other people had either not answered, or told us they werent intrested. we were pretty discoraged and almost turned back around but we felt like we should knock the last two houses. and guess what??? we ended up finding two new people! the people were what a lot of missionaries would call "golden" they were both super intrested in learning about the gospel and the Book of Mormon. to top it all off they told us they were looking for a new church to go to. the reason why im telling this story is because I wanted to talk about the fact that oftentimes, faith proceeds miricles. miricles dont come before we have faith, miricles come "after the trial of our faith" (Ether 12:6). my favorite scripture about miricles is Mormon 9:15-21. it talks about how God is still a God of miricles. read all the way to the end because theres a super cool promise in verse 21




anyways, thats about it for this email. thanks again for all the scriptures! i hope yall have a great week

Really long, really great talk about missionaries-from Mom

Hey, I found this really great talk about missionaries. It is really long, but so good. Definitely something to contemplate. I don't know yet if you are being transferred or not, but I know someday you will. I know you will need to make decisions about what kind of missionary you want to be with your next companion, in your next area, for the rest of your mission. I think this talk was really great at talking about different types of missionaries and turning your heart and mind over to God so He can make you into the man He wants you to be. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from this talk. I hope you really study it and pray about it and how it can help you in the rest of your mission, but most importantly how God can help you become the man you want to be and He wants you to be for the rest of your life and through eternity. Love you so much! Mom Quotes: You can't be happy if you don't want to do the things that lead to happiness, even if you do those very thin...

2024-2-13 Family Email

tuesday for breakfast I had a smoothie, and during personal study we got a referral from soical media and it actually turned out super promising. it was from this dude named David. we called him and ended up scheduling a church tour later today. at the food bank today it was crazy once again. pretty much the food bank is always like VP on a friday night. well except its tuesday afternoon, and all your coworkers are super old and ask you to lift all the heavy things. that last part was good though. I need the workout and its hard to get gains without weights. I stole some bagels from the food bank then we were outta there at 2. for lunch we found some waffle mix so we cooked those up. sooo good after that we had the church tour, and we ran around mayo visiting people. for dinner sis Newman made us PBJs, and larkin and I reenacted the scene from zootopia where theyre in the dmv and theres all the sloths, so that was pretty funny. after we got home I played the piano(with my new metrinom...

BK got dunked 🌊

  Howdy yall! Annother fantastic week has come and gone in the FJM. Bk got baptized and I am officially out of training  New comp  Elder Clark is an absolute stud. Hes been out for 18 months now so hes got a lot of experience. We had a lesson with someone the other day and he pulled out a bunch of fire scriptures that worked really good for what we were talking about. Theres definitely a lot that I can learn from him. This next transfer is gonna be awesome  Tradeoff miricle  ️ This week I did a tradeoff with Elder Johnston and we found someone new! Elder Johnstons area some would consider is a bit slower. Theres a lot more people that are more wealthy so they are usaly less willing to hear about the gospel. We were walking down this one road though and we decided to go knock one more house and we ended up finding someone! Scripture of the week  Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee,...
