What A Week It's Been

Hola nachos! 


     I can't believe this week was real. It has truly been one of the most chaotic weeks of my mission. My companion elder Hepworth got his visa and left for Africa on Tuesday so I have a temporary comp until Friday. We were on exchanges when we recieved the news and it was a lot of trying to get things figured out of how I can still work in my area while he's gone without having to trio with Spanish or something else, becasue our area has been doing insane. We found 16 people this week so far and the week ends on Sunday so there's still potential to find more. We've been reaching tons of lessons each day and met some of the coolest people ever. It's been so awesome to see God's hand in it all and see him put us in a path to meet some incredible people. I'm pretty confident that we are going to put someone on baptismal date cuz now we have a lot of people progressing. 


     So Friday is transfers and I'm getting a new companion. His name is elder Anderson and I served around him in Abilene. He's super cool and a hard worker and he speaks Spanish which will come in handy because there's lots of Spanish speakers here as you can imagine. I'm actually really excited to see what this upcoming transfer brings. At first I didn't want to stay but now I'm happy that I am. 


Anyways thats about it! Just been super super busy but wanted to keep you guys updated! I'll be sending out another email on Monday because that will be pday so you'll hear from me again shortly.

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 ...
