Fireworks!

This week felt like it was long but it was awesome. We watched fireworks in front of the visitor center and  it was neat. We stayed out until  10:15pm  to watch it which was pretty nice. Here in utah people kinda go crazy with the Fourth of July, so there were alot  of fireworks. Earlier that morning we went to a breakfast in front of a grocery store called Lin's. We had breakfast and we talked to a lot of people, trying to find a new investigator. Also another thing the perairas, gave me and my companion Fourth of July presents. After having a fun Fourth of July I can't wait to see what pioneer day will be like. [July 24th, the day the pioneers entered Salt Lake City] 


We had two awesome lessons we this week. The first lesson we taught was at the visitor center we invited this family called the the R's. They are an amazing family. We have taught their mom two lessons and she's been going to church regularly with her children but the husband has been out of town a lot. They are non members that moved from Wyoming about a year ago and never had missionary lessons before. 

So this week we got a chance to give them a tour at the visitor center. The mom and the dad were present and two of the three kids. We were so excited and nervous but mostly excited because we love them so much and we know that the gospel will bless their family tremendously. We taught the tour, it was great but you never know, and we asked them to pray as a family if they should all take lessons together, we are waiting to hear from them this week. Another cool thing that happened also was that they went to church together this Sunday and there was a general authority in their gospel principle class (only in Utah,  you can get that lucky). We wish we could have been there, but they told us that church was great. 

Another cool lesson was This 14 year old kid name Anton they moved two years ago from North Carolina to come to Utah. Anton is a smart kid and has a lot of questions about the church which is awesome. His mom is Catholic but she says he can make his own decision if we wants to be baptized. OOh  this brings back memories of myself. When I was fourteen the missionaries taught my family and life has been great since then. Our lesson with him went great and the spirit was strongly there. We are so excited for our next lesson with him. We also had an awesome fellow-shipper in the lesson, his name was Isaiah and his only 13, it is amazing how kids in the church know so much about the gospel. I was very impressed by how this 13 year old kid explain things.


until next time I weill like to end with 

“Souls are as precious in the sight of God as they ever were; and the Elders [are] … to persuade and invite all men everywhere to repent, that they may become the heirs of salvation.”- Joseph Smith. 

This week we week is transfer and this are a few pictures from  our last district meeting.

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...
