Week 54: Happy Halloween!

Image
This week was a good one! We were able to meet with Shanta, and her new baptismal date is  Nov 7th.  So pray for her that she and her daughter will make it. We also had the chance to meet with this super amazing couple in the ward. They are 92 years old! They are both Polynesian, and when we got to his house he said "Welcome home Elders" and we have never met him before. He talked to us about his conversion story, and when he was serving his missions. Wow was he inspiring and so converted. He understood what it means to be a true disciple. He probably told us I love you Elders 20 times before we could leave. It was so nice to hear some of his knowledge and his testimony. We have been trying to get creative with finding. And I have been reading about Ammon and the sons of Mosiah, about how they would serve and love before teaching about the gospel. So we bought some cookies and wrote them a note offering service and had a Book of Mormon scripture on it. We gave them to some pe...

Week 53: Buzzed, Blue Springs and 1 Year!!!

How’s it going everyone? Wow I cannot believe it's been 1 year as a missionary! This last year has  been the wildest, hardest, unexpected, life changing, and most amazing year of my life. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to put Christ’s name on my chest everyday and try to forget about myself and love and serve as he did. There has been some changes lately, some to where I am at now and some to my appearance hahah.  I am back in KC!! (Kind of) I am in Blue Springs which is in the KC Zone. I am with Elder Hogan from Kaysville Utah. He was reassigned from the Ivory Coast in Africa and is French speaking. Wow he is the best! A Great missionary and even a better person. I am going to learn so much from him. We also live with 2 other Elders. Elder Sanns from Pocatello Idaho, and Elder Burkett, the big dog from Nampa Idaho. Hahaha we have lots of fun! We pretty much live at the church because our apartment has no connection because it's like a cave. I was studying in ...

Week 51: General Conference and driving issues.

Hey everyone! Hope you all enjoyed conference. Wow was it amazing! So many great messages, especially for our day. I couldn't pick my favorite talk because I loved so many of them, but I loved hearing from our Prophet and him teaching us the real meaning of Israel. "Let God Prevail" I thought it was amazing when he said that we will never have to worry about making tough decisions because if we ask ourselves, is this Letting God Prevail or not, then we will know what to do. How blessed our we to be led by loving Prohets and Apostles. This was a bad week for driving. So first off, one night this week we were driving to some Elders apartment to drop off some bed frames. It was pretty dark out and we were going like 65 mph and all of the sudden I see this dark thing in the middle of our lane and there was no way to miss it-so we hit it and it jacked up our bumper. So we pulled over and Elder Scott used his flip flop to hit the bumper in place so it wasn't scraping our bu...
