Westover 22

Image
Well sorry everyone, I didn't get an email out last week, way too busy out here! It's good to be busy for sure. I love serving the Lord, time is just flying on by!    This week was kinda crazy and sucky. My companion Elder Westover got hecka sick with a cold and for a while I was doing good then boom like 4 days ago I got hammered with it. Then Elder Harris has gotten it a little. So we named it the Westover 22 luckily its not too deadly!  Also this week we had stake conference which was pretty fun but something really crazy happened. I found one of my cousins. She is my dad's first cousin and so that means my second I think. But it was so wild, she knew like my whole family almost better than I do. She knew right where I lived. That definitely doesn't happen everyday most of the time they don't even know Orderville was even a town lol!    This week we have been teaching a lot about General conference and trying to get people and us prepared for it. So just real...

One Year!

Well it's that day, one year ago today I started my mission! I literally can't believe it at all! I feel like I just got out here which is a good thing I suppose.  I am so excited for the next year, for the people I'll meet and get to share the gospel with!  This week has been a huge adventure. So to start the week we had to go get our new greeny. His name is Elder Harris, he is from St George Utah. All of my companions have been pretty close to me which is pretty awesome. The thing is Elder Harris is on reassignment, he is supposed to go to Taiwan which is dope! So the drive to the mission office is like an hour and 15 minutes away from our apartment there and back. So we drove there for transfers and back. Then the next day we had to go back for a train the trainers meeting then came back. Then the next day we had to go back for MLC (Mission Leadership Training). So ALOT of driving. And I'm driving now as well so that's fun, got to go through Portland multiple tim...

Hello hello hope everyone is doing good! It's crazy we are in September now, time is just flying by. It sounds like it's been hot in Utah well it’s been hot up here as well a nice break from all the rain haha!  Well this week one of the inactive members we found came to church! We were so excited he brought his wife who is a non member as well as his 6 year old son. They seemed to really enjoy it and told us they would be back next week! We hope to start teaching his wife here very soon and start getting him ready so he can baptize his wife!  We got asked to come and help get wood with a member.  It turns out that really means I’ll cut you load!  Its ok it turned out to be a lot of fun and they fed us food! We got transfer news this week! So I am staying here in Estacada with Elder Westover, but we are getting a new missionary straight from the MTC so that's fun. My 3rd time training so pretty excited about that I love to train just always a new adventure f...
