Trio for the third time November 6, 2023

 Hello Everyone, 

Sorry for the last few emails being short and not very exciting. It's okay you can admit that these emails have been going down hill. But I am going to change that starting with this email. 

Let us begin with the transfer news. Surprisingly Elder Nickerson And I stayed for round two in Ft. Yargo. Something  that wasn't surprising at all is that we got a brand new missionary to join us. Yes that means that I am finishing Elder Nickerson's training while also starting another Missionary's training. Welcome Elder Christensen to the GANM, for now. 

I say for now because Elder Christensen is a reassigned Missionary. I have no idea how long he will be with us before he goes to Peru. I love this trio of joy. We all have been getting along very well. I was surprised how well we were getting along. It felt like we had done this before. All three of us are alike. In name and in deed. 

The down side to being a trio is that sometimes it make the work side of missionary work harder. I will say we are figuring it out. Car rides are more productive and fun. My favorite part however is in lessons. I have been doing my best to step back and allow both of them to experience in teaching. When I have done that I have been proud of them. I feel that I am just there listening them teach pure Doctrine and sharing powerful testimony. It helps me see that what I am doing is making a difference in the lives of my companions. Not because I had the talent to help them, but because I have had the time with the Lord to change me so I can me an instrument in His hands.  

With the end of a transfer come an end to some Missionaries missions. I knew some if not most of the Missionaries that left, and it is weird not having them here. I was grateful that I was able to say goodbye to Elder White. Can't believe it was a year ago that we were companions. There was a lot of challenges at that time, but I grew a lot during that time. Something that I have learned is how amazing forgiveness is. When forgiveness blesses both parties and I have seen that on both ends. Through forgiveness and Christ like love I have gain a friend. I'll miss him as he spending time with his family again.  

I love how much I am loving being out here. That may sounds fake or forced, but it is true. Jesus Christ changes lives. My time in Georgia has changed me and will continue to change me. I know I do not stand alone and that as we look to Christ we can feel of His Joy. Joy will always lift us up when down, and take us out of our sorrow. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.  

There are some pictures for a little while back so don't get too confused.
