Hey Everyone! This week was great. It was super busy— we had 2 exchanges. One was with my good friend, Elder Montoya. We always hoped we would get a chance to serve or do an exchange together on the Mission.    Our friend Carrie was baptized and confirmed on Sunday and we met with her every day this week. She is amazing and has changed so much. Also happened to be my birthday which is a nice we to celebrate, I suppose. It was a super spiritual experience and I'm grateful I was able to play a part in helping her come closer to Christ. God is good    Just staying busy and having fun. Have a great week!      Patience is a Virtue! 1 Peter 2:20 "For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God."

We had some good surprise exchanges this week. We showed up at the Elders church right before they started a lesson then SWITCHED. It was a ton of fun and while we were on the street we met an Indian family that acted like they weren't members of our church then at the end of the conversation said they were and we lost it. They were new to the area and hadn't come to church yet so we invited them and they came.    We also had Zone Conference this week which was super cool because we studied more deeply into the topic of the Holy Ghost.    Our friend Carrie should be good to go for her baptism next Sunday now. We met 2 new people on Thursday who randomly called up and said that they got our number from someone we used to meet with. We gave them a chapel tour and had a super spirit-filled lesson.    Today we went to Windsor Castle, which was honestly the best castle I've visited so far. It was beautiful. Unfortunately photos weren't allowed inside, but if the...

Hey everyone! Hope you are doing well.   The past 2 weeks have been super busy and we have been teaching a lot. Our goal is to try and have a member on every single lesson and we have been getting better and better. Our ward is amazing. We had 3 friends at church who loved it and our friend Carrie is still preparing for baptism at the end of this month.   The transfer has taken place so we've been getting to know a lot of the new missionaries in the zone this week. We've seen some cool miracles and God is definitely present in the work.    We had a P-day last week where we went to Heathrow and took pics with planes coming in. Got a legendary pic with a QATAR 2022 Fifa World Cup plane. Made my day.   Let me know how you are doing. I'd love to hear from you. Have a great week!   Ether Ch. 4 11 But he that believeth these things which I have spoken, him will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit, and he shall know and bear record. For because of my Spir...

Happy New Year!    This was an awesome week. We had mission leadership conference (MLC) and set a new mission standard. One of the takeaways was for our goal this year as a mission is that every ward improves.    We had some awesome appointments with members.    We found some really cool people to start teaching.    Carrie is now preparing for baptism toward the end of January which is so exciting. We've been working with her a ton.    We watched the Best 2 Years as a mission and we created a video montage for a mission talent show. Both were so fun. We don't have a TV license so we played it with Elder Palm's mini projector and it was incredible!!   Excited to see what the new year brings. I really loved what the Prophet shared on social media yesterday about 3 things we can focus on this year: being prayerful, being patient, and being persistent. These words speak volumes and I can't wait to see future growth in myself and others ...
