Blessings and a crazy Utah Holiday

I
ts pioneer day in Utah and I never knew that existed until I came to Utah. People here celebrate it like its the 4th of July, with fireworks, barbecue and celebrations. This morning we went to a Pioneer day breakfast and the primary kids did a little parade and it was cool. Some of them had their pioneer outfits and that reminded me of trek. After Trek I remember being forever grateful for flushing toilets, food, cars, air conditioner , beds,  parfaits.............. I can go on forever with the list. I am happy that my siblings went and they probably learned a lot which makes me a lot happy. My brother said "it changed my life "  I laugh a little when I read it and I was amazed and surprised at the same time. My sister bore her testimony about trek also, they are growing so fast.  I am happy that they are having all those experiences. 

This past week had a lot of ups and down it started with a lot of excitement. One of the Highlights was definitely when the W's came and visited me. OOOh I can't believe that Sheila W is engaged. Wow everything is happening so fast, I think the weeks are flying so quickly. Their visit was definitely a tender mercy because honestly that day I needed that. I felt a little homesick but right after that visit it made me feel so much better. Sister W is so funny, I love her. (Sister W if you are reading this, thanks for coming). 

Another awesome thing is that our investigator Rachel said she wanted to be Baptized. Her family is amazing and we love them so very much. This is definitely a great blessing from God. We have taught her almost all the lessons. At the beginning of our lessons she said that she did not want to feel pressured into getting baptist and we set a date at the beginning of the second lesson and she said if she was ready that she would get baptized on that day. When the day came she said she was not ready and it was understandable. But she has being going to church since from the first lesson and she loves it. 

Another blessing that happened is with our 12 year old investigator Anton. we gave him a lesson in the Visitor center and when he came in he said he didn't not know if Joseph Smith was a Prophet and before he left he got a testimony of it and also he said that the videos we watched about missionaries made him want to go on a mission. He is an awesome kid and he has a lot of desire to follow Jesus Christ. it is amazing to see that in a 12 year old. 

Utah is treating me well but it is burning hot in St. George and I am grateful that I only have to be outside half of the day. I can't wait for the winter.  Until Next time Remember to count the little blessings.

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...
