Transfers and Easter and Conference Oh My! 4-5-2021

What is up everybody! HAPPY EASTER!!


This has been such an amazing week, I will always remember it! First of all, it was the last week of the transfer and the last week training Elder Roberts, so that's exciting! So it turns out I will be STAYING in TC another transfer!?!? That's so crazy, I am so excited!! Elder Clark is coming up from Grand Rapids tomorrow, and it will be a blast! I've heard he is from Arizona as well! Elder Roberts is going down to Lansing, and Elder Hatch is going to zone lead over the Grand Rapids zone now. It will be weird not living with him, we've lived together 6 months now. They will be missed!

We were also able to have Jon's baptism yesterday, and what an amazing experience that was! He was so ready to accept the gospel in his life when we first met him, he is amazing! He has such a love for the scriptures and has studied the bible his whole life, but he said the Bible didn't completely make sense until he read the Book of Mormon! He completely read the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants in less than a month, he is such a faith builder to me! Elder Roberts had the opportunity to baptize him right before he is leaving, so that was really cool to see too! And not only was it Jon's baptism yesterday, but it was Easter as well! What a special time it is to reflect on our Savior Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection! I am so grateful for Him and the blessings He so freely gives me, that's why I'm  out there in the first place! Easter was wonderful, we were able to watch divinely inspired talks from the General Conference, and we were given the challenge by our beloved prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, to look for ways to increase our faith! So I decided to increase my faith, I want to study Jesus the Christ by James E. Talmage when I have spare time. I love it so far, and I would recommend each of you to read it as well!

And we have been so blessed by food this week too! Members find a way to sneak us food, especially for holidays! Haha. And shout out to my parents for getting us steaks! They were absolutely amazing! And we had the Elders from Sault St. Marie came over on Thursday, that was really fun! We went to Buffalo Wild Wings, and Elder Roberts got the hottest wings, but he handled them like a champ! I also made a cheesecake, so that was fun! We definitely ate it up for our last week together!

We had some great lessons this week as well again, David is super solid and he really feels that what we have taught him is inspired, so that's really cool to see! The spirit does direct to people's needs if we pay attention and follow it! And like Elder Rasband said this weekend, we have witnessed more miracles than we realize! And we met with this guy in Uganda named Wasirwa, he is trying to teach other people about the Lord, and we are teaching him! He was so excited to hear about the Book of Mormon, it was amazing! And Shelly, (Who is on baptismal date for April 24) had some interesting stuff come up. So please pray for her. And Joe, who was on date, got in contact again with us today and wants to meet! So that is a miracle! Miracles are around you! Just keep looking for them! 

Thank you for all your support and love, here's to another fun transfer!

Not Phase 3? 3-29-2021

  Hello everyone! This week has been such a good week! We had some more Elders over to do exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week and it was really fun! And we got to do exchanges ourselves! It was a blast, we had the Gaylord Elders over and the Petoskey Elders. It was super fun, every time we have Elders come over we go to this soda shop called Rocket Fizz. I've been there so many times since I've been here, they  have all these fun flavors of soda! There are so many, and they are all come in bottles. When we are done we smash them with our bare hands. Yeah, that's right. We had a lot of good lessons this week, we met with Jon a few times, Shelly a few times, the Millner family a few times, Maida a few times, and it was great! Unfortunately, something came up for Maida's baptism and it will be postponed for now. But she is still super excited to continue learning and eventually be baptized! And some more exciting news! We were abl...

The only light I need is the light of Christ! 10-2-2021

  Hey everyone! So Mexico has still been treating me well. I have been having more appointments with the bathroom this week, and we haven't had power in our apartment since Wednesday. And now we're out of gas for our water heater. But it's all good because the Gospel is true! Don't worry, it still has been a good week, we had a lot of blessings and cool experiences. We had a baptism for our friend Rosa García so that was awesome. They had me conduct so I could work on my Spanish, I didn't want to but it turned out okay.  Rosa was definitely prepared, and she is so good! Her daughter was baptized a few months ago, and I think that's what's been helping her coming into the church and believing all of it. They fed us breakfast one morning since we don't have power and brought us tacos one night. They're so good! Also bus rides here you have to hold on for life!  I wonder how often they have to replace their brakes, they use them a ton. But we rode the b...

Jeffrey R. Holland, Ice cream, and Water for Baptisms 11-8-2021

Hello everyone! So this week was crazy as normal, and I know I always say this, but there was a lot of miracles! Some brief stuff: It was one of the missionaries birthdays in our zone so we went and bought him a cake and celebrated with him for like 20 min. We visited Central Puebla last P-day, and it's full of shops and culture, it's so cool! And today we went to this cool burger place, the shakes were wild! We had baptismal interviews that went well for our friends thanks to our district leader and mission president. My Spanish has come a long way since I've got here, God is good. It's all Him in this work! I bought some Halloween mask, and yeah. It's really funny too, because kids only want money instead of candy for Halloween. 😂 And they dressed up and did that for 4 days after Halloween too! But yeah, I just want to share miracles and cool moments with you. (And remember, miracles come from acting in faith.) 1. We had a baptism yesterday, and the c...
