Getting ready for transfers🤯🤯

 This week was great super busy but super fun!!


We have these 2 girls that we are teaching and their family has been thru a lot of hard things. They have had loved ones die just right in front of them the girls have been sexually abused and the dad has been thru some serious drug addiction. But it's so cool because I've been trying to teach them for a while but they would never give us the tom of day so when I wasn't covering the Thanksgiving stake for a month and a half the missionaries were still trying but it was still tough. So when I got the Thanksgiving stake back we gave them a few weeks break and then at the beginning of this week we were in their apartment complex and they came to my mind out of the blue. Which was a prompting from the spirit. So we followed it knocked on their door they let us in we had a great conversation. And we've already had a great lesson with them and they went to church yesterday. But it's so cool because now the timing is finally right God just prepared them for this time because they had some jobs fall thru and now they really are able to make this a priority. They are awesome!!!

We have another kid who is so close to baptism. But the dad is less active so we have been trying to get him to church. He is awesome because he helps out in lessons and everything he just doesn't come to church. 

This week one of the kids I baptized, Permisius, got in some trouble with the police 🤦🤦 the family situation is AWFUL. I'm not here to judge and I know life is tough but the parents don't help him at all. We had a good talk with him tho so it's good. We also bring him to the lessons with that first family. So he's trying to improve.

Mosiah 29:20
"But behold, he did deliver them because they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him."
I loved this verse this week because God is always there for us. But we have to do some work sometimes. 2 of those things are listed in this verse...HUMBLE and CRIED MIGHTILY which is prayer. When we do those 2 things that is how we put trust in the Lord. I love also in this part of the Book of Mormon people have many burdens placed upon their backs (they are slaves) and they pray and ask God to deliver them but God gives them strength to continue to bare those burdens. Sometimes we don't fully get what we want because God knows more than we do and he knows what's best for us. So all of you PRAY MIGHTILY to God, and HUMBLE yourselves before God. LOVE YALL❤️

Riley's Farewell and Setting Apart

Image
 Riley's farewell talk at church was super special. We had all kinds of friends come to see him. Chris and Brandon (of course), from work was Troy, Rob and Mark, plus the Heaven family. The Zemp's, Tatlow's, Cutler's and Molcak's. Meshak, Nate. Of course the Lee's. I had a long ago friend, Gena, drive down from Edmonton to be with us. Plus on Zoom we had The Crenshaw's and Droegemueller's from Idaho Falls, Steven Tran, Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Grandpa and Champ, Tyler Baker family, and Grams and Victor and Shail!  The Dean Girls all sang Go and Do, Riley gave his talk on Service, which I was told was very genuine and humble. Brandon gave the closing prayer. It was a good day. Riley's talk I have been asked to speak on service. Now  service in the dictionary says, “the action of  helping or doing work for someone.” And don’t  get me wrong this is a correct definition but I  found another definition that I prefer it says, “to love, care, repair, mai...

  Sorry everyone...its been a while since my last email. I've gotten insanely busy it's crazy hahaha, it's good tho. I will try not to make this too long but I'll get the best parts of the last week's... So first off Griffin got baptized!!! He was such an awesome kid. He was so excited to get baptized. After he got baptized and got dressed he was jumping up and down saying he got baptized!!! Zion got baptized. He is 13 years old and about 6'5" he's such an awesome kid. His sister is 8 and she also got baptized with him. We promised him we would play basketball one time with him and it was so fun. He is such a smart kid already he already has his own business and he is managing it all himself   so crazy The 4 kids in the bottom picture are so awesome. So we have talked with the Mom in the past about getting the 9 and 12 year old baptized and she said she wants to wait a lil longer, and that was a few weeks ago. Then this week I was on exchange with anoth...

FIRST SNOWFALL HERE❄🥶

  What up everyone... I hope yall are doing wonderful!!! Been thinking about all of you. We went to A LOT of Christmas parties this week... we helped out a ton. One of them we dressed up and I was a tax collector, and we greeted people for a live nativity. Another one we cut so much ham  another one we set up the lights which took forever   But in one of the parties it was evident that GODS TIMING IS PERFECT. So we were running a little late because we had a message with a family. But we showed up and I actually had to go to the bathroom  and then after that the party was having like a group thing. The groups would go to s few different classes and here a story or do an activity before everyone just goes to the gym and eats. We'll because of the perfect timing, we were in a group with a family who has a son that isn't baptized. So we got to know them and we ate dinner with them and they are so awesome!!!! And then next day they called us and had us over to play ...
