Snow! :(


Dear all,

So it snowed this past week and it pretty much put us down for a couple of days, so this past week we weren't able to get much done. I don't like the snow very much, but I'm learning to tolerate it more. I actually gave a talk in church yesterday and I was the last speaker. That's only what grown ups do! I just realized that I'm actually 20 years old and am no longer a teenager! Holy cow! I will forever be a kid at heart though.

We were actually able to get a new investigator! One of the families in our area named the Sulley's daughter has a boyfriend who has been coming to church with them. We had dinner at there house yesterday and he was there and we talked with him a bit. We haven't been able to teach him yet, because he had to go, but he expressed some desire to learn more. So hopefully soon we'll be able to teach him.

Well I hope everyone is doing great! Me and my companion are getting along great. He's pretty awesome! I'm so blessed! I love you all!

With tender love and care,

Heyo!


Dear All,

So my new companion Elder Hansen is a boss! He's such a cool guy! We've had fun this past week. He's one of those guys that are good at everything. He can play piano like crazy, and he doesn't even know how to read music.

So I don't have much to write this week, nor do I have much time. But just know that the work is going great and that I'm doing great as well. I love you all and prey for you every day! 

With tender love and care,

Happy Transfers!!


Dear all,

So another transfer as flown by. The news is in and the changes will be made tomorrow. I'm staying in Logan Iowa, and my companion Elder Puckett is leaving. I am getting Elder Hanson. I am grateful for the experiences I was able to have with Elder Puckett. It was hard, frustrating, and very difficult at times, but I have learned a lot and experience much fun and growth through out the two transfers with him.

Transfers are always very mind focusing, so it's always hard for me to find other things to talk about besides them. But I will do my best to talk about Elaine today. I think I have talked about Elaine before but we haven't really focused much on her until recently again. We took some members to go visit her this last week and it was really good. She didn't come to church, but hopefully we see some progress with her. We have some events this week with her, so hopefully she feels the spirit strongly and recognized that she must do. Teaching her is very difficult because she believes everything and has read the Book of Mormon and has a testimony of it, she just doesn't do anything with that testimony.

Besides that, we haven't had much progress with anyone to teach or anything. Still working on finding. Hopefully we get some sweet people to teach here soon! But I know the Lord will bless us as long as we continue to work hard!

Well I love everyone! I hope everyone is doing great! Happy Valentine's day to everyone! Will everyone be my valentine? Haha just kidding. That's way too many Valentine's Day cards to give out.

NO TIME!!


Dear all,

I have 2 minutes on the clock. So I have no time to email this today! Sorry everyone! But I want you all to know that I'm alive and well! The weather should be warming up this week, so that should help with the work.

I love everyone! That includes you! So don't forget to pray and read your scriptures. And write or email me when you got the time. You know you got the time! Haha jk.

With tender love and care,
