IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK

 A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!!             12/14/15

     

Hi all,

Well, sorry but this will be another quick letter.. We have lots of good stuff
coming up for Christmas! We have so many service opportunities!! It
will be a great week! We also have a Christmas concert at the
Tabernacle where all of the missionaries will be signing. I'm
excited...especially because I'm one of the chimes!! .
Ha but its going to be awesome.

This week we had 5 Ward Christmas parties we had to go to! It was
crazy...but it was a great opportunity because we got to serve and
meet a lot of members and their friends! And a lot of people we are teaching came
which was the best!   And Santa even asked us what we want for
Christmas...ha!

We have been really working hard to find new people to teach. Our
mission has set a high goal in the New Year...it will be a tough goal but it is
achievable. We are super excited. But that means that we need to be
finding those who are prepared for the gospel NOW! The area we are in
is difficult to find people but we have the faith that we can do it!

We went on more exchanges this week and we have had some very powerful
lessons. I wish I could convey how strong the spirit is when we teach
some of these amazing people. Little by little people are changing.

 "BY SMALL AND SIMPLE THINGS ARE GREAT THINGS BROUGHT TO PASS"
Even a small and simple missionary like me... Great thing can
happen!!

Love y'all

A SAVIOR IS BORN                  Dec 7 2015

Hi all, It's been a good but busy week!

We are teaching an awesome woman and she is doing really well!!
We haven't been able to see some of the people we are teaching as much
as we like so that is always a bummer. But we had a busy week with MLC
and zone meeting. Sister Gearheart and I gave the training at our meeting and it was fun, I think it turned out pretty well.

We went on some exchanges this week and I actually got to leave Utah!!!!!
We had exchanges in Mesquite Nevada!!!! If anyone knows anything about
Mesquite Nevada...it's a very interesting place. It's basically just a casino
town. Haha it was really interesting but fun. And there were some
miracles there as well.

We also did a lot of service, one where we helped out at the homeless
shelter moving furniture and sorting clothes. It's amazing to see how
the Christmas season really softens people's hearts.

There's a great Christmas video that the church has put out called

“A Savior is Born”.  We have been sharing it with a lot of people.

Share it with your friends!

It has been amazing teaching about the Savior this Christmas season.
The gospel is so true. I am tired all the time! haha but ITS ALL WORTH IT!!

Love y'all

It's December!                                     Nov 30th

                                        

Hi all,

Well it's been a great week of Thanksgiving. For our Thanksgiving day we had
district meeting in the morning and then we drove to St George and
helped serve Thanksgiving dinner to those less fortunate. There we so
many people. It was packed!  but it was way good...lots of happy people!
After we went to a member’s home for a delicious Thanksgiving meal! It
was a really good day!

Many people were busy this week so we didn't do a ton of teaching. But
we did a lot of service.   

We helped one of our investigators move in to her new house
and helped her unpack all her boxes.  We also helped a family put
up their Christmas tree!  It's been a week of fun service which was
really good!

My companion has been sick so that has put a damper on things. But we
did still see a miracle this week! The lady that we are teaching
(whose mom almost died in the hospital) But, her mom received a
priesthood blessing and is now miraculously doing great. Well the daughter
expressed to us the power that she felt from that experience. She KNEW
that is was the Lord and the power of the priesthood that performed
that miracle! It was a converting experience for her. And she wants to
be baptized now! It really was a miracle and we have truly seen the Lords
hand in this family. Oh and the daughter has 3 little kids and they all so
badly wanted their own Book of Mormon. So we each gave them one and
they were so excited!
This is truly the Lords work and we are the instruments in his hand!!

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be
the living expression of God's kindness:
Kindness in your face.
Kindness in your eyes.
Kindness in your smile"
-Mother Theresa

Hope you all have a great week.

I love my job!

President Larkin from the district!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!             Nov 23rd

Well this was one week full of service and miracles!

We were invited to do service in St George at a place called Kony Coins for Kids.
They give Christmas presents those who are in need of help!

So, It was great to be able help out  there for a few days and that was super fun!

This week was full of adventures. We went to the old Pine Valley
chapel for church because Sister Gearheart sang at sacrament meeting.
And while we were there...President Larkin was there!!! For all of
those missionaries who have watched "The District"...they know what I'm
talking about! He lives in That Ward so that was exciting. We even took
a picture with him! We also met Al Caraway this week.  She is known as "the tattooed
Mormon" and we took a picture with her as well.  So pretty fun stuff!

And we got transfer calls and Sister Gearheart and I are staying together and I am super excited!

We also had a really cool experience.

So we are teaching a family… We are teaching the parents,

Who are older, and we are teaching their son and his wife as well.
Well the daughter-in-law's mother became very ill and was put in the
ICU. She almost didn't make it. But she received a priesthood blessing and
she is doing okay now!  It's a miracle!!!! And that experience has really softened
the hearts of this family that we are teaching. They are starting to
realize what is important, and what they want in life.

We also had the chance to help clean her house.
They are an amazing family and I feel so much love for them!

So funny but cool story.  We were teaching the German couple and we
asked them if they had any questions. They had some questions about
the Book of Mormon and how it was complied. And the man from the ward

that came to teach with us was inspired because he brought the Gold plates with him!
Not literally haha but it was so cool because we could explain, and answer their questions with a visual. (Especially with the language barrier)
 It really helped them understand. And the member was so
inspired to bring the plates! And let me tell you...those things were
heavy!!! ( I sent a picture)

The gospel is true and I love my job!!!
