Well I'm back again and survived another week over here in Canby Oregon. This week has been pretty good. A couple of days ago some of the fog rolled into town and it was so cool and also crazy to drive in I couldn't even see 5 feet ahead of me. I was kind of freaking out but it was fun and the dumb car headlights have to stay on brights the whole time for some reason they change automatically when they see cars but you can't turn that off. The bright make it harder to see in fog lol.     Well your prayers are working brothers and sisters. I can't remember if I told you about the guy we met last week with the wood but we went back to check up on him and he was happy to see us. He told us some pretty hard stuff that's going on in his life right now so we were able to talk to him for a min about it and told him that there's a loving heavenly father out there just waiting for him to reach out to him. He then told us how much he hates beer and smoking and that stuff ...

Hello everyone sorry I didn't write last week but I just got busy and all. But I'm alive and well. I guess there's some exciting news this week. One transfer down already, that's kind of wild, time is flying. I'm soooooo old (LOL) not but still I'm not the youngest anymore hehe.     This week we were really busy. The answer to prayers are being revealed right as we speak. We actually found a new person this week we were driving and then I look out the window and see this dude moving wood. So I slam on the brakes and was like we are going to help this dude so we went and helped him move it, he was very appreciative of it. Then I go, well would it be ok if we came back and shared a message about Jesus Christ and he said yes so we got his number and we will be meeting with him soon. We also got in touch with some people we were teaching that disappeared for a while and we got to set up lessons with them. Thank you all for the prayers I can feel them everyday. They ...

Well this week has be just like any other day in the life of a missionary. We did alot of contacting just trying to get people back to church. There is alot of inactive members around here and well we are stopping by them setting up lessons and what not. There is a couple families that might be coming hopefully. And well we tried our best to find a new person to teach and we have felt all your prayers but sadly we didn't find them. But we aren't giving up just chuggin along we do all we can do the rest is up to God and we just have to have our minds open so we can get those promptings.      We spent alot of the week out in the sticks "from what all the city folks around here would call it"  this week and well I got to see alot of cows and horses. A bunch of the people have like 5 cows and like 3 horses just for kicks and giggles and yeah I can relate with them pretty well most of the time so that's a blessing for sure.      Having only been out almost ...
