Transfers...Again!

Letter from Nov 20

I honestly can not believe that this transfer is already over with. I swear it just started, but nope, it came and now is gone. Good news though, I am staying in Grandview with Elder Anderson for his last transfer in the mission. I am so stoked to be able to stay here and get to work.
Someone please tell me where November has gone...

This week hasn't been very eventful but the work here in Grandview should be picking up pretty soon,

Update on Martin who was baptized 3ish weeks ago, He is going strong and is super happy. He has an interview with the bishop this week to get his temple recommend to go to the temple to do Baptisms for the dead. The ward is planning a trip for all the recent converts from the last year to go and they will be going on December 1st! We have been working really hard with Martin to do family history work so he can do the work for his parents and grandparents! He is one top notch member and is really excited to be able to go into the temple! He is also reading the Book of Mormon every day and is currently in Mosiah 7 I believe. He is attending the Noche De hogar every Monday night with the group and is making some really good friends in the church.

This week is ThanksGiving and I am sooooo stoked to chow down. I love thanksgiving because of the food and also because of the spirit that it brings to reflect over the things that you are truly grateful for. and I am extremely grateful for every single one of you. I am grateful to be a missionary to be able to serve other people and show them how much I love My Savior. I am grateful for my Parents and all the love that they have had for me over the years. I am extremely grateful for my Heavenly Father and for the love he gives me every day. I love Being a missionary so much.

love,

SNOW!!

Letter from Nov 6 This week went by way too fast. I just want time to slow down. it was Halloween and that is weird because that means Thanksgiving is this month and then it is Christmas next month. Wowzers. I swear I just entered into the MTC.. Grandview is a fun place, kinda sketchy but it is great! Halloween was this week and that was pretty fun cuz people though it was weird that people were knocking on their doors really early for trick or treating and realized that it was just a couple of young men knocking on the door trying to give them the sweetest treat they will ever receive. lots of people let us in and listen, and they are some of the nicest people here in Grandview. And it snowed here. it is pretty cold, i think this week the average has been around like 38 maybe, and on Saturday to Monday it snowed! It was a baby snow and nothing compared to Utah snow but hey, snow is snow. COLD. This week I finished reading the Book of Mormon, and I know that it is a true book ...

The Great Outdoors

Letter from May 29 What a great week full of great things like the Great outdoors. We had zone conferences this week which were a little different than normal zone conferences, Not a single missionary was wearing a White shirt and tie. The meeting was at the Timbers camp over near Dayton, WA. Who knew that there was actually green here in this part of Washington!! It was beautiful and I felt at home being out in the Woods sitting in a camp chair wearing Jeans and a t-shirt. We had 4 different stations where we would listen to them talk about Gospel topics, like Revelation, coping with difficulties in the mission, and working with our Ward leaders. It was just great being outside in the woods in God's creation and feeling the spirit super strongly. So just last night we found someone named Heilmer, well... He walked right into our hands. He just moved into a home with one of the members about a week ago and is just getting thrown into the Gospel. They took him to the temple and...

Future Missionaries

Letter from May 14 We had transfers this week and sadly I had to say goodbye to Elder Rockwood and send him off on his way to Basin City, and then said hello to Elder Stugis and welcomed him in to Kennewick! Elder Sturgis is originally from Oklahoma but lived in Midway, Utah before the mission. He has been out for about 4 months and had just finished being trained. I'm gonna keep this one short because of lack of time but one thing that we did this week was went out and tried finding people. Like I said before, there are so many apartment complexes here in Kennewick and we went out and tried knocking some. oh and update: we have not yet found Pedro. I will let you know how that goes this week! I will not give up on finding this dude. In one lesson that we had with Ivan and Ari this week, We swapped roles and they were the missionaries and taught us about the restoration. They NAILED it. They both threw on their Future Missionary tags and had the whole lesson planned out and ...
