Wherefore, I conclude this record, declaring that I have written according to the best of my knowledge, by saying that the time passed away with us, and also our lives passed away like as it were unto us a dream!   Well everyone this is my last email. I have said this time and time again. But I can't believe that this is it! Time has passed away so quickly.    My week has been kinda weird. Oregon decided to give me a going away gift, I was blessed with an awesome cold! So on Tuesday I got a sore throat and throughout the next days. I got a runny nose, head ache, cough, super tired. So I was wrecked. But don't you worry I still was working hard.    I have loved being a missionary for two years. If anyone is thinking about serving, DO IT. Trust God. Wherever you are called will be just for you.    I will leave you with the scripture that has changed my whole life.    Mosiah 4:9 Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things,...

Well we had a good week out here. I will keep saying this but time is sure going by quick I can't believe it. This week zoomed by. Just trying to make the most of what's left.    I was able to see the hand of the Lord this week through Facebook! so about 3 weeks ago we knock on this apartment door and a lady answered and told us she wasn't interested. We now flash forward to this week where we get a Facebook referral. A guy named Stephen reached out and wanted to learn more. We show up to his apartment and realize that 3 weeks ago they told us they were not interested. What do we do? Knock anyways. Stephen answered the door and is absolutely amazing. Like you can't make this stuff up. We were teaching about the restoration of the gospel and he goes. "Ohhh just like restoring an old car or a run down house" we go yeah pretty similar. He then goes "Hey babe these guys are going to restore me, we got the restoration crew in the house" it was awesome. He...

Had a good week I feel like so much happened this week but I am having a hard time remembering it all right now but I'll share some thoughts.    So last Tuesday we went to the Zoo which was awesome saw some fun animals. But we went to the temple with our friends from Haiti and it was awesome. They have never seen such a building and were taking so many photos it was so funny. But we witnessed a miracle while we were there. So we were sitting on a bench and this random member came up and shared her testimony of when she first heard the gospel a couple years ago. She shared her story of baptism and the things she testified of were the exact concerns our friends had. It was truly amazing to see. But non the less it was a great time. But the story goes on. About half way through the tour I was getting like a million phone calls from missionaries in the zone.  So I finally decided to answer one of them. Well it turns out an elder in the zone crashed his bike and hit his head a...
