Letter 97 Temple Visitor's Center

Hey Everyone!

Well this week we had a lot happen. Good news and Bad news. Unfortunately, Sophia is too stressed with the move going on and so she has decided to postpone the baptism until after they move to Arizona even though she just needs 1 more lesson and the interview. I just hope she chooses to get baptized when she gets there. I just know it will always feel too busy and so I hope she chooses to do that. 

For good news though, the same day Sophia dropped her Baptismal date we set another one with a lady named Sonia! We had dinner with her and a member and she is just going through a lot right now. She is really willing to learn and we already met with her 3 times last week. Her date is for May 26th which is a little rushed, but if we meet with her often we know that it can work! She also came to church this Sunday and it was a great meeting!

We also had a great trip to the temple visitors center with Mayra last Saturday. Her husband accompanied her and that was really his first exposure to the church and it was a great experience! Mayra is still on date for the 12th and we are super excited for her baptism. Not only that, but her husband who didn’t want to meet with us before is now showing some interest and he even came to church with Mayra this week! 

It was awesome and it’s amazing to see the gospel bringing families closer together in the Sunland ward. This area has some awesome potential and many of the members are actually convert families. It just goes to show how much the gospel blesses families and it’s amazing to see that. Over all things are going wonderful!

Oh I almost forgot! We got transfer calls this week and Elder Pate and I will be staying together for my last transfer which should be pretty fun! Anyway, that’s pretty much it for this week, I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Letter 96 Evening Zone Conference

Sorry I don’t have a lot of time to write again, but we had a great week! Both of our investigators moved their dates to the 12th of May and so we are super excited for them! It’s gonna be a great weekend!

Other than that, we have struggle to find this week but we hope to make next week better with some new goals. We also had an awesome evening zone conference with the members and we got to do a role play in front of all the stake leaders which was really cool. Anyway that was it for this week! I hope you all have a great week!

Letter 95 No Time!

Hey Everyone!

It’s been a pretty normal week here, sorry I don’t have a ton of time to write but I hope you are all doing great! Mayra is doing great and changed her date to the 12th of May which we are excited for. Sophia hurt her back so we couldn’t meet but hopefully this week we can. Anyway, things are still going great! Have a great week!

Letter 94 Awesome Week!

Hey Everyone!

It’s been another awesome week for us! We were able to find a lot of new investigators and we were able to set Mayra on date for May 19th! She is doing super awesome and she will definitely be able to make her date. We are so excited for all the progress this area is making! 

We also found Robert again, another investigator we had on date who disappeared so that was good. His phone broke so that’s why we couldn’t find him but we have an appointment tonight! Sofia is doing well too. We met with her on Friday and had a great lesson on the commandments. Her date isn’t until May 27th because it’s her birthday
and she wants it to be special although she could seriously be baptized in April if she wanted to! We are going to go to the temple visitor center with her in a few weeks which will be fun. That was pretty much it this week since Wednesday! 

Remember to go to church, pray, and read always! CPR keeps us spiritually alive so don’t forget church, prayer, reading. If you aren’t doing one of those things or even all three, I invite you to start doing them and you will be able
to feel the saviors love in your life and find answers to your revelation through the scriptures, and revelation through church attendance and I promise you it really does work. Have a great week everyone!

Letter 93 Temple!

Hey Everyone!

Wow what a week! Sorry for having p day later. First if all, congrats to my little brother Jared who received his mission call to Chicago Illinois! That’s so awesome! Well, this letter is gonna be a little long because this week was amazing!

General Conference was amazing! I’ve never quite had a conference like that! I felt so strongly during that conference though that President Nelson is a prophet of God and he is prepared to lead the church. I knew before that he was, but I especially felt that spiritual witness during this conference. So many crazy announcements, but I feel like they will help the church so much, especially combining the Elders and High Priests. And a temple in Russia! That makes me so excited! That will be a lot closer to Armenian and I’m super excited to hear more about it! I especially loved President Nelson’s talk about receiving personal revelation and I would encourage you all to look it over again or if you haven’t seen the conference yet, watch it! It answered a lot of my questions that I didn’t fully realize I had but I’m so glad he spoke on that because it really helped me out and strengthened my testimony.

Also, we went to the temple today! That was so amazing and I’m so grateful we have a temple nearby to visit. We have 7 new temples and I’m so grateful for them. When I get home I really want to take the challenge to visit the temple more often. We also taught Sofia this week and she got to watch conference which was good. She is on date for the End of May on her birthday. It’s been great to see so many people progress. I love this area so much! I hope you all take the time to ponder the messages from conference again!
