Last Transfer, Staying In Oneil

Dear all,

Turns out I'm staying in O'Neill for my last transfer, making me a 3 area missionary. My companion and I were really excited when we found out we were both staying for my last! It's going to be a good transfer too!

On March 8th, Becky and Maykala are planning on being baptized! We are excited to see them get baptized and are meeting with them twice a week to help get them more prepared!

Darryl is also doing very well! We are working with the member and teaching him the New Member Lessons! He also blessed the Sacrament for the firs time yesterday! It was awesome!

The Lord is blessing O'Neill and us as we work with the members and work hard on our own! We had a record number of Less Active and Recent convert lessons in O'Neill this last week, which was awesome! We are hoping to keep getting a high number of lessons like that for the rest of my time here, and keep that going after that! We hope and pray to turn O'Neill into a baptizing area! Something that this area has struggled with in the past!

I love you all and hope all is well with you!

With tender love and care,

Last Transfer This Week!

Dear all,

So this transfer this week is going to be the last of my mission! What is going to happen!? I'm hoping to stay here in O'Neill for the rest of my mission, but Elder Benson was transferred for his last, so I'm afraid that may happen to me as well. If it doesn't though, I will finish having only 3 areas! That sure would be nice! But 4 wouldn't be back either. It would just be pretty rough just barely getting to finally know everyone in a new area then have to leave like right after! That would not be my favorite. But it all depends on where the Lord can best use me!

As for how things are going here in O'Neill, things are going pretty good. We are still teaching Becky and McKayla and they are set for the 8th of March. This week are going to start giving Darryl the new member lessons, which will be nice. Still doing a lot of service. It's starting to warm up a good amount, which I am enjoying very much. I wish it would just stay that way. Haha

I love you all! Hope everyone is doing great!

Another Fast Week!

Dear all,

So this past week went by hecka fast! I had a leadership meeting in Omaha, which was nice because I got to see a lot of my missionary friends more then likely for the last time on the mission. The past that wasn't nearly as nice was the drive for 4 hours one way for like 2 days. So much driving! But it wasn't all that bad having people with me.

Things are still going good for us. Not much has changed since last week. We got a little snow which I wasn't too crazy for. And it's still freezing! I can't wait until it's not freezing anymore. That'll be very nice!

I hope everyone is doing great! I love you all and can't wait to see you again!

With tender love and care,

Excellent Week!

Dear All,

This past week was a pretty good one! We found two new investigators and got them both set for baptism on March 1st. They are a mother and a daughter named Becky and McKayla! We are hoping that they will progress smoothly and we are planning to teach them at least twice a week. They have even started reading the Book of Mormon nightly together for 30 minutes and we didn't even commit them to do it or anything! We are super excited for them! Woo!!!!!

Besides that things are pretty normal. The Lord continues to bless us with miracles here and there. One of them being Becky and McKayla. Another one was we were driving the other day at night and we were like a foot away from hitting a deer! It jumped out of nowhere and I was flipping out! Scarred me fore life! Deer are not my friends. Good thing I don't drive my last transfer. Only got 2 weeks and a half of driving left. Deer don't scare me as much when I'm not driving.

I love you all! Hope everything is going great for everyone!

With tender love and care,
