Week 70: It’s Freezing!

Image
  Hey everyone! Sorry I'm getting so bad at sending these. I am still out here in Atchison.  The last 2 weeks have been so cold. The typical days have been about anywhere between 5 degrees and -6. But the "Feels like" is usually about -18 to about -25 degrees, so cold! Our power went for a little bit one of the days and our apartment got pretty chilly haha. We have been reaching out to a lot of people and been trying to teach them. We were teaching these two young lady's for a while and we invited both of them to be baptized, and they accepted. But now we are not so sure, they will accept baptism super easy but don't really want to come to church. Not sure how that works haha. We had the opportunity to hear from Brother Haws a guy back in Salt Lake. He is a good friend of President Ames, and he did a Devotional for our mission this last week. He gave an amazing devotional at BYU called "Wrestling with comparisons" It is so good, I would invite you all to...

Week 67: Catholic Mass

Hey everyone, the last couple weeks have been pretty good out here in Kansas. We have been reaching out to a lot of students at the college here. Sending tons of videos of what we do as well as teaching videos.  President Ames received some revelation this last week and has set our mission baptismal goal for 600. We were all surprised because of how big that number is, but we are all really excited and are motivated to work hard to see some miracles. The highlight of the week: We are teaching this guy named Reese.  He goes to Benedictine which is a catholic school. We invited him to church and he said yes, as long as we come with him to Mass. So on Saturday Elder Cruz and I joined him at Mass. It was in a huge building with a ton of college kids and then it was us. It definitely was very different, and an experience I won't forget!  Luckily in return we got Reese and one of his roommates to join us at church the next day. I've been studying a lot about Joseph Smith lately...
