Happy Father's Day plus a full bus of French speaking visitors

Well first and foremost happy Father's day to all the fathers out there and I just Want to say How grateful I am to have a father and for all he has taught me, helped me and for all he continues to do.  Happy Fathers day. 

Well I will like to start by saying it has been a hot week. I do not know how I have been surviving in this 100 degrees plus weather everyday. Yesterday I went to a lot of sacrament meetings and since it is Utah, and we are in charge of the whole stake there is a lot of sacrament meetings to attend. I was able to attend relief society which was the first time in a while. It was great because we had an investigator with us and it was amazing. Also I forgot to say last week I gave my first French bus tour in the visitor center.  It was kind of scary at first but it went great. They had a lot of questions afterwards, but the cool thing is when you give your answers it feels great speaking another language. 
Another interesting thing was we were going to knock on a door and the dogs came barking at us and it was pretty scary so we got in the car.  The next day we knocked on the same door trying to overcome our fears and the dogs were pretty nice. The first day they were barking at us it was kind of terrifying but we faced our fears and everything was fine. The days also are flying so fast. 
 One interesting thing my companion pointed out to me was that the window right next to the temple. You can see all the stages of life through that window standing at the visitor center. 
It starts with 8 year old children coming to take pictures and they are excited to be baptised. They look very excited to start that first step in drawing closer to Jesus Christ. The next step is preparing for your mission. It is exciting to see those who are getting ready to go on their missions take pictures with the flag of where they are going to serve. Also when they come into the visitor center and we get to talk to them about where they are going. Then then there is marriage, there is at least 5 weddings every Saturday, The family members and sometimes the bride come into the visitor center for the cool air or just to change. This week was stressful but not as tiring as last week. It is cool to observe the stages of life happening next to the temple almost every day. I would like to close with "most people are about as HAPPY as they make up their minds to be". Because this week was stressful that's what I like to keep in mind . Well until next time have a wonderful day!.

Week 2 - Praying and be a good boy, be a good girl!

Image
Every morning begins with a prayer, every lesson, meal, role play, in general everything begins and ends with a prayer here. I guess that is part of the reason why you can feel the spirit strongly here at the MTC. My roommates are all from around the world. There is Sister P from Ukraine, she is very stylish and likes working out with me at 6am. My companion Sister J is from the Marshall Islands, she is so funny and she is the most interesting person I have ever met. The other girl in the room is Sister Y and she's from Yap which is found next to Guam, which is next to Marshall Island which is next to Hawaii.  She is very sweet and she is always smiling. In my district we have a Sister called Sister K and she's from india she cracks me up and she always tells us jokes. What I love about the MTC so far is that you meet a lot of people from all over the world and everyone has one goal.  Which is invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restore...

First week in the Field!

Image
Best of both worlds.  First week out in the field. Well my companion is Sister S she is from a small town called Burns Oregon.  She's very cute and kind, she is the best trainer I could possibly ask for. It has been great with lots of sunshine. The sun is too much for me it gets to like 100 and something degrees and I feel like I am in an oven. The area where I am proselyting is called Santa Clara Heights and it is beautiful and the houses looks like it is from the movies. We are in charge of the Whole stake so it is kind of hard to go to all the sacrament meetings and we also get to do the visitor center half of the day so we only get to knock on door for  a couple of hours. Well we get the best of both world in a sense that people come to us in the visitor center and we go look for people also. It has been hard so far but Heavenly Father has been providing for us.  I had to bear my testimony so many times and attend a lot of sacrament meeting and meeting ...

Baptisms by Dad

Image
Wow, How time flies, Tranfers are today and my companion  and I are staying together. Its been six weeks already that we have been together, wow went too fast. Sister D is an awesome missionary and it is a lot of fun training. The part I enjoy the most about training is doing 12 weeks again [ training program for new missionaries I think ], there is so much to learn. The week has been Glorious, it ended with 3 baptisms that  took place saturday the 30th of September. I can't believe it is already October. But it was one of the best Baptism that I have ever attended. The Dad Tommie Got baptised and then confirmed and then ordained and then baptised his wife Rachel and then baptised their daughter Chiara. It was one of the happiest days on my mission. It's a blessing to see a family come closer to the Savior. We had to receive permission from our Mission President and our Stake president in order for that to happen [ for the Dad to baptise his family the same da...
