It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Wow I can't believe it is Christmas already, How fast the year flew. 

This week was super nice. We went to a baptism of a lady my old companion and I started teaching. She has been investigating the church for quite a while now and she is finally baptized and confirmed as of yesterday. We started teaching her but we had to transfer her records to the elders because she lives out of our area but goes to church in our area, well we had to stop poaching so we gave her to the elders.   Her baptism was super nice, it was all the people that have been fellowshipping her for a while that attended. So almost everyone that attended played a role in her life. She is such a caring lady, she is from New York and lives now in St. George.  Another thing we did is go on exchanges, so I was on exchanges in the Young Single Adult wards, it was super fun talking to people my own age. I feel like they could easily relate to you and listen to you. We found 2 new investigator that day and put someone on date for baptism also. It was super neat. And then I returned to my area and we also found 2 new investigator with my companion and we put someone on date for baptism. 


Now that I am writing this,  I realized it was super good week, a baptism someone on date and 2 new investigator. Wow sometimes, life gets repetitive out here and it is kind of hard to count your blessings. I feel definitely blessed to be teaching people everyday on my mission be it at the visitor center, online or in my area, we get the best of both worlds.
I found out one of my online investigator got baptized and he is preparing to go on a mission and he is from Ivory coast. It is one of my first French teaching center contacts t that got baptized. The church is true! It's amazing that we can use technology to teach people in other countries and they decide to meet with local missionaries and keep learning. 

 Another thing that happened, one of our recent converts  gave us a Christmas tree and it was some thing we have been yearning for a while so when I saw it I was so happy man. I never knew a Christmas tree could make me that happy. She also gave us ornaments so we decorated it and it looks super nice and we are going to Start putting presents on it soon. It kinda makes me think of home when we put our tree. 

Transfers was today and my companion and I stayed together yay and I stayed in my area yay! In have being in Santa Clara Heights my whole mission, wow . Also we had a Christmas Breakfast too


Christmas in the mission is fun thus far!   Almost everyone invited us to come to their Christmas party and we are like, wow which one should we go to ? Even at the grocery store people will stop us and say hi sisters do you have a place to go for Christmas? Wow I will definitely miss this VIP treatment when I get home, I feel so blessed to be in Utah, there is a lot of success here and I am grateful for all of it. 

In the spirit  of Christmas, have a merry Christmas and happy Holidays 😍😁

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...
