Doing Better

Dear all,

I am doing a little better this week. I was able to go to the doctors and see what was up. Turns out I have a lot of liquid in my ears that have been giving me some bad vertigo. They gave me some medicine and a shot of steroids, so that has helped. The week was a little rough because of some side effects that I have been experiencing from the new medication, but we'll get through it.

I had a chance to go on exchanges this last week with our Zone Leader and I had a really good time. It was good.

Our investigators aren't progressing too much right now, so hopefully we'll be able to work with them a little more this week. Alyssa isn't too sure yet about her baptism but she is still set, so we're going to work on helping her get more spiritual experiences.

Well that's my update for the week. I love you all and hope everyone is doing great!

With tender love and care,
Ofa atu,

Not The Best Week

Dear All,

This past week was a pretty rough week. Almost every single appointment we had made for the week fell through. And to top it off I got a migraine Saturday and have been having strange symptoms that are out of the normal since. I'm sure I will be okay, but our Mission Mom (Sister Weston) wants me to go see a Doctor soon, so hopefully I'll be able to get back into 100% working order!

Alyssa is still set and her baptismal date is actually moved up a week, so that's good to hear. She is going to get baptized with her sister, Marry, so that's exciting! We are really excited to see them get baptized!

Well that's all I can really think of for this week. I love you all!

Ofa atu,

Great Week!

Dear All,

This past week was amazing! I guess the awesomeness started mostly with our interviews with our president. That man's inspiration is so powerful! In our interview he gave me and my companion some legit advice that has been working. But the most powerful part for me was after he gave us a closing prayer in my interview he just looks at me and says "The spirit just told me to tell you to be like Moses." It was awesome!

So we were able to find a new investigator through some less actives that live in a small town about 30 minutes away, which is pretty good. Then on Sunday, we set Alyssa for baptism on October 26th. We're going to be working with her really hard to reach this date, but if it doesn't happen, I know us working with her and pushing her to do this so that she could serve a mission will help her a lot!

I love you all! I hope you all are doing well and are living the commandments! Never forget who you are!

With tender love and care,

Another Transfer In O'Neill Nebraska

Dear All,

So it looks like I'm staying here for another 6 weeks with my buddy Elder Benson! Even though this area is hard, this last transfer went by super fast, and I have a feeling this next one is going to go by fast again with Elder Benson!

Well I don't have a lot of time this week! When we got to the Library they needed help with building some stuff, so we decided we would help, even though it was p-day. That took us a good 2 hours, but it wasn't too bad. It was pretty fun actually. But anywho.

I hope everyone is doing great! I love you all! Keep up the good work!

with tender love and care,

Labor Day

Dear All,

Sorry this one is going to be really short. I had a lot of emails this week.

Happy Labor day! We had a good one, with some good labor! We did a lot of service for people and such. It was pretty good.

Transfers are this week! We'll see what happens, but I don't think anything is going to change. But we'll see. Y'all will find out next Monday.

Love you all!

With tender love and care,
Ofa atu,
