  Happy new Year!  Isn't it crazy that it is a new year? Anyways that is old news. Let's move on the to the New news. It have been a good week to finish off a great year. It feels that a lot happened this past week so let's see how much I remember.   I guess we will start off with the Transfer news that I got last night. Transfer news is that I am staying for another Transfer with Elder Wallgren, and Elder White is headed off to the mission office. I am excited for this next Transfer because it is a start to the new year and because we have three people on date to be Baptized by the end of this transfer. Having said that I think it is time to tell you how we have three people on date on no longer just two.  This past week we were finally able to meet with a part member family that we have been trying to meet since I got here, because they have an unbaptized youth. This week we were finally able to have a lesson with them. As we got closer to the lesson everythin...

  Merry Christmas!  I know I'm a day let but that is the best I can do while I'm on a mission. Also I'm going to be still Celebrating Christ till the day that I die, but even then I'll still be Celebrating in the spirit world.   This was a good week and I'm still trying to remember what in the world happened this week. I know that we got a lot of Desserts and treats and cookies. I don't think I'll finish them all for the next month.  Let's start off at the Beginning of the week. We had our Mission Gathering on Tuesday. That was a lot of fun and we got to see a lot of other Missionaries. Time passes so fast here in the Mission. We started off by doing some service. We wrote a letter to every member that has been baptized in the past year. I was so happy they did that because I was able to write all the people that my trainer and I helped baptize. From that point we had a Christmas Devotional where I could feel the spirit strongly especially when they play...

  Merry Christmas!  Hello all ye children of the Lord! This was another good week with a lot of service, and fun along the way. I'll probably have to ask my Comps a lot of what happened this week because I don't remember.   I love doing service around this time of year, ( also through out the year, but this time is special  ). It was a huge blessing to do service this week, and to do so much of it. I think we had a service for every single day this week!   Tuesday- Food drive  Wednesday- Missionary service    Thursday- hang Christmas lights  Friday- organized a friend's garage  Saturday- clean out storage locker  Sunday- Gift wrapping    So I guess that we didn't have one everyday, but we we close. And Wednesday was just a regular day of Missionary work, but I guess I did put up up someone's Christmas tree  . Maybe I should change that.....   Tuesday- Food drive  Wednesday- Christmas tree...

  Merry Christmas everyone!    Thank you all for once again enduring my emails. This week's email will probably be short because not much happened this week. ( keep reading to find out why) Even though I said this could be a short one I still might make this a long one because I'm good at rambling on.   We had Zone Conference this past week and it was great! It has been a while since we have had one and it was fantastic! There were a lot of insights that I love. Some quick take aways:       ★ Be purposeful in all things that I do. From the little to the big.       ★Study the scriptures with a hunger for righteousness.        ★ Teach, Testify, Invite, Promise blessing, follow up, ask for referrals.        ★ New Tiwi devices   Oh yeah we got new devices in our cars that track how well or how bad we are driving. I loke how these ones have cameras to help is out if we...

  Hello, and Merry Christmas!  Yes I know that Christmas is not today or this week, but you are going see me write it in every email this week.  This week was a good one and I'll try to it justice, and please give me mercy when I mess up :)  The morning of Tuesday had begun, and we started off doing service at the local library. Once again we bagged a lot of food, but this time I was on apples. And I'll have to say I did bag a lot of Apples, and once more it felt like I was back at the Chick-fil-A drive through.  Something that I feel I have been doing better this week is reporting in area Book. There are times that I don't want to to do it, but when I'm done reporting I feel a lot better and I had fun when I did. Let that be a life lesson to you from me.  Also I apologize for skipping Monday, so I'll go back and talk about Monday. And no I will not edit it and put Monday before Tuesday.   Monday was a good P-day! We got together as a Zone and we ...

  Joy to the world! And all those that are on this email!   It had been a great week and I feel that so much has happened and I'll try to tell it to you, but y'all know how that goes.  To start of we picked up Elder Wallgren at transfers. Being in a trio is a lot of fun, and I look forward to seeing how this transfer will be. While at transfers I got to day goodbye to Elder Bevans. He has finished his two years and is headed back to Canada. I'm going to miss him.   The beginning of the week was challenging, but still great! Challenging because I could barely talk, and what I could say would hurt and no be very clear. Great because we just hit the ground running. We just started talking to members and anyone we saw. It was wonderful! We would share messages on gratitude, and I have noticed that the more I share about gratitude the more grateful I am. Also with Thanksgiving being this past week I had Thanksgiving dinner almost everyday. Members have also been...
