What a glorious week

To begin with This week has been pretty interesting. At the Beginning of the week we were told that for our Zone conference we each had to prepare 5 minutes. Man I was so nervous for the first two days, The second day after i wrote my talk, I learned that confidence is " Key". I prepared a wonderful 5 minutes talk for zone conference and I didn't get picked to give it but my companion got picked. I was happy she got picked, not because I knew they would not pick me but because she did an amazing Job. She killed it. Our Zone conference was very empowering we got a good talk from Elder Pearson of the 70's and Elder Parrelle and their wives. I remember they said that going up there when asked to speak and winging  it is not being let by the spirit. I remember those days. The most interesting part of our conference was that   our mission president had to pick a couple of missionaries to be interviewed by them and my companion and I were picked. I got interviewed by Elder Pearson which was awesome.  Elder Pearson is a nice and kind person. I felt so special this week. I don't mean to brag but I have met an apostle, two other members of the Seventies and I am still looking forward to meeting more. 


Mission life is going pretty good. I feel more comfortable and I know how it works now which is awesome. It's an awesome e life. Today I got a letter from the missionary serving in our ward and they said all of you guys are awesome. I miss the ward you guys are the best ward, by the way I always brag about you guys. 
 
Also this man name Richard who is a non member got a blessing and he is awesome. He didn't know what it was at first he was scared and asked do I have to lay down on the floor or something and we said no and were able to help him understand what a priesthood blessing is. We love Richard and his going closer and closer to God everyday but he still does not want to take the missionary lessons. He says that God sent us to talk to him but he still does not want to take the lessons.
 
A good way to end the week is that we went to eat Thai food. Surprisingly some one payed for us. We get spoiled out here, it is blessing but it makes me feel like I can't go any where without people paying for us. We are blessed, I wonder how strange how that will be when I get home and everyone at a restaurant does not offer to pay for me. 
Here are some pictures of Thai food and Richard.

I don't know what else to say but until next time.
Love you all and miss you all

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...
