Life Is Good.

Dear all,

So not a lot is going on for us. We had a week full of service so our numbers were really low, but I don't feel bad about it because we were still helping our Heavenly Father's children.

So for those of you who haven't heard, last night we had a telecast to all the world and Elder Perry announced that missionaries will start to use the internet a lot more and will start using Facebook to stay in better contact with out investigators and members in this "digital" world. I am interested to see how things will play out in the next couple of months and see how this new change will help hasten the work. I am confident that this will help the work, especially since it is coming from a servant of God.

Well, I better get going. Sorry, I don't have much to say this week. I love you all and hope everyone is doing well!

With tender love and care,

Another Transfer in Logan Iowa!

That's right folks! I wasn't transferred! I get to stay in Logan Iowa for at least another 6 weeks! Super excited! My goal is to stay here for a total of 14 months! I love it here and don't hope to be transferred anytime soon! Haha

So the Hussings were confirmed yesterday! The spirit was so strong! Sister Hussing was in tears by the end of the confirmations. It was great! They are coming along great! It's great to see them progressing in the gospel.

It's been such a blessing to be able to stay here and see my recent converts continue to progress in the Gospel! Michelle is doing great and she moved to Harlan so we are now able to visit her weekly. She is doing amazing!

Raymond is still going strong too, despite his break up with Jessica who was how he discovered the Gospel. He's still coming and everything. He's an awesome example to the rest of the youth as well.

We haven't been able to see Dalton lately, but we were able to visit with Claire yesterday and it was really good. She opened up a lot more and asked a lot of questions that we were able to answer for her. I really hope to see her mom, Dalton, and Dalton's mom at church some time. I care about them all so much, I just wish they would come!

Well that's my update! I hope everyone is doing great! I love you all!

The Hussings Are Baptized!

Dear all,

So yesterday was the Hussings baptism and it was amazing! I baptized Ralph and my companion baptized Peggy. I'll send the pictures with this email. But they are doing great! Ralph's son and his wife and kids were there so we are hoping to start teaching them soon as well. We are planning on having dinner with the Hussings this Thursday, which will hopefully NOT be my last day here. Transfers are this week and I'm hoping and praying to stay in this area again. I've loved it here and I really want to be there for the Hussings Confirmations.

On another note, we were able to go fishing with Brain Ross this morning. It was awesome! My companion was the only who caught anything, but it was still awesome! We had a really good time!

Well since this week is transfers, if anyone is planning on writing me (doubt it) then just mail it to the mission office. If anyone happens to have any extra pumpkin seeds that they don't want, I'll be happy to take them off of your hands.

I hope everyone is doing great! I love you all!

Legit Week! Not A Lot Of Time For E-mailing Today Though!

Dear all,

This past week was amazing! We taught the Hussings everything they need before baptism and had their interview and they are set to be baptized this Sunday! We are super excited! It's going to be an amazing day!

We were even able to see Brain Ross again! We met him in Beebee Town where they were having a BBQ cook off and he got 3rd place. We got to eat from of his Ribs and Chicken and they were the best Ribs and Chicken I have ever had. I don't see how he didn't get first place. But he gave us all his left over rub and it's so delicious! I want to just put it on everything!

Well I have to go! I don't have a lot of time! Be prepared for pictures and awesomeness next week, after we have the baptism! I love you all!

With tender love and care,
