we put Rene on baptisim date! 🙌



okay so the title isnt entitely true... it was more like Sister Newman put her on date for us- but hey, it still counts Rene(pronounced renay) was taught a bunch by missionaries in the past. she was progressing really fast, but then she disappeared for five months. well, last week Sister Newman got in contact with her and invited her to come to church! at church we found out that shes been super busy lately but still wants to be baptized. we had a lesson with her and Sister Newman on Saturday. near the end Sister Newman was like so can we set a date for you to be baptized? and she said yes! if all goes well were hoping to baptize her on February 10th(my dads birthday)


I got to go on a tradeoff with Elder Bolander and guess what??? hes also from eagle mountain we both went to Cedar Valley, but I never met him cause theres a ton of people at that school.


we also got transfer calls this week and it turns out im staying in Branford for annother 6 weeks


this week we got to help our friend Johnnie lay a bunch of tile in the house hes building so that was super cool. I have a greater appreciation whenever i see tile now


ive been sharing jacob 7:5 a lot lately: And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwithstanding the many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these things; for I truly had seen angels, and they had ministered unto me. And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me in very word, from time to time; wherefore, I could not be shaken.

its cool that Jacob had seen such awesome miricles that nothing was able to shake him from his faith


thats all for these last two weeks, hope yall dont freeze with all that snow you guys are getting over in utah

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...

here's this for yall

this isn't my weekly email, but here's this for you guys tuesday for breakfast I had some yogurt, i put toast in the toaster but I forgot to eat it. so now its still there. this morning we had to postpone personal study so we could go help this dude named Johnny. Johnny has no legs and he stockpiles a bunch of toys so he can give them out to kids. the problem is that none of them were sorted. they were all mixed in with eachother. so we went through them all and sorted them by gender and age group and all that fancy stuff. after that we went to the food bank to go help out again. we had a lot of people there so we pretty much just stood around in the cold for two hours. lunch was subway. I figured we should probably start using our subway giftcards... we have a grand total of 100 bucks in subway gift cards. after lunch we drove to Mayo to go say hi to a bunch of referals. there was this one guy who filled out a request for us to come by (he was also legless... if I had a nickel...

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...
