Merry Christmas!

Ho Ho Hello! 


      Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope your day was filled with love and joy. My day was amazing and I'm so grateful for the time that I had and all the people who shared their kind words and love! This week was a pretty good week! We met some pretty cool people, had lots of fun with other missionaries, and just had a good time! Our apartment is slowly coming together now, and deep cleaning everyday is exhausting, but so worth it. We also learned that tracting on Christmas eve probably isn't the best idea because no one wants to meet with you, and sending a huge text to over 1,000 people wishing them a merry Christmas is a nightmare. My phone dropped 30% in less than 5 minutes due to how many responses we got and how much texts my phone sent out.


     I recently finished the book of mormon the other day and the ending is always so freaking good. Some might say the best. It got me thinking about pur spiritual gifts and just gifts in general. (Surprise, surprise) The gift of Jesus Christ and his atonement is the best gift we will ever recieve, without it we would be nothing. Not only that but we each have our own unique spiritual gifts that set us apart from other people, and we can use those gifts to bless our lives and also others! I just thought it was neat that we are blessed with so much, yet we overlook those simple truths or maybe take them for granted sometimes. 


      Anyways yall take care and have a good one!

A Good Week

Hey!        It hasn't been that long since we last talked! All is well here in Hobbs America. My new companion elder Hepworth is really cool and he lives up to the reputation of being a hard worker. It's been nice to push each other and get lots of work done. We had an incredible day on Saturday where we talked to 31 people and had door step lessons and gave out lots of book of Mormons. It was an exhausting day, but I loved it so much. We have some good appointments set up for this coming week that I'm excited for and some will be with really prepared people, so I'm hoping we can progress with them. Other than that it's been amazing so far and I'm really enjoying it, and hobbs is just getting better and better.        The mission has been a huge Rollercoaster these past 18 months. It's amazing how big the highs are and how hard the lows are, but they are good teaching moments that I'm grateful for. I've gotten out of that wired rut of feeling like...

The Magnificent Work Of The Lord

Look who's back      Man what a great conference weekend. I enjoyed this conference so much and it was probably one of the most memorable and enjoyable conference experiences I've had. This was my last time being able to watch conference as a set apart missionary and it just meant a lot to me to hear about the gathering of israel as my mission is coming to a close here in a few short months. I hope yall enjoyed it as well and got spiritually uplifted in the places that you needed to be. I want you guys to pause for a second and brace yourselves for impact. Maybe buckle your seat belts if you will. We're about to talk about an eventful week. Last week I mentioned how we were planning on talking about baptism with a few of our friends. Well we extended invitations to 6 of our friends and they all accepted it! We are going to be baptizing Waldo on the 20th this month (unless I get transfered) and Yvette with her 4 kids on May 11th. We had some pretty incredible lessons ...

TLM (Trenchcoat Loving Mission)

Image
Howdy doodly!      Picture this: We're all having a good time and enjoying life as it goes. Things are going so smooth that it begins to be a little suspicious, and thats when it hit me, that darn trenchcoat. See, last pday my companion and I went thrift shopping with the other missionaries. Unbenounced to me, I would see it. I would come to regret it. The women's trench coat. He buys a women's trench coat and has worn it everyday since. If I didn't know any better I would think he showers, and sleeps in it. I was also given special permission via request, to write about this in today's episode. We were supposed to have a great week with more than 10 lessons, but they all punched through and canceled. Every. Single. One. The same week my companion decides to wear this trenchcoat. Coincidence? I think not. Illuminati confirmed. There must be a spirit attached to it, or maybe a curse, legend has it. Either way it's bad luck. (Its probably not related at all but I ...
