Hey y'all!

This week was awesome! Definitely one of the top weeks of my mission.
Transfers happened and i got a new companion, Elder Stevens. He is
from Idaho Falls, has been on his mission for three months, and he's a
STUD!! We have seen so many miracles happen this week. I'm so pumped
for the rest of this transfer. The Lord is blessing the Bear Creek
Zone like crazy!! We're trying to get 23 baptisms in 2 months and we
only have one left.. so now is the time to kill it!

Here are some awesome things that happened this week:

-We found 12 new investigators to teach. Last week we found 0. The
average in Morton Ranch so far has been around 4. We have been trying
really hard to seek inspiration regarding where to tract and the Lord
has helped us find new people to teach every single time.

- We were teaching the Restoration to an investigator named Chris and
man, the Spirit was so strong. We taught him about the Book of Mormon
and he was like "you know what? I need to read this book for 20
minutes a day." Haha. People never do that!

There are more but I'm too lazy to type them all up haha.. but just
know that things are going great! Morton Ranch is exploding, the
members are so fired up about missionary work, and we have had so much
JOY in the past week. I don't know why the Lord is being so merciful
to us. Keep an eye out for baptisms coming up before the end of the
year!!

I love this work and I'm so grateful for this chance I have to serve
God. He has done so much to redeem me and change me from who I was
before the mission. It's such a privilege that He has trusted me and
all of us with bringing that change to others. And I am grateful for
all of your love and support! It means a lot. I really have been
humbled by all that I have heard from y'all and everything that has
happened this week!

Love y'all!

P.S. We went to Waffle House!! What more can I say?

Hey y'all!

I don't really have that much to say about this week, but it was a swell one. I'll just send a bunch of pictures..

The district went to Track 21 last P-Day. It's this place that has go karts, laser tag, etc. and it was so much fun. Best P-Day of my life!!

We also went to the temple this week! It was very sick as always. Oh, and we got to ride with the sisters as a trio on the way there and back! Man it was a once in a mission experience. I know it doesn't seem special to y'all but it was such a relief. Sister Dummer and Sister Pinster are SO chill too! (Even though they look like we are driving them crazy.. Hahaha) The studly guy on my left is Elder Neely from the Bear Creek Ward. Such a good experience all around.

Elder Evans goes home in less than 10 days. I'm going to miss this guy! It's been a great transfer. (Yes, we are working hard!) Haha.

Peace out, y'all!

Love,

Hey y'all!

Wow, it was an awesome week! We have been teaching a lot and just
working super hard. Some very exciting things are starting to happen
here in Morton Ranch. The investigators we have now are more solid
than ever! I'm so stoked for the next couple months.

-On Friday we ate dinner at our bishop's house. The Bishop of Morton
Ranch is sick! He's from the Phillippines so we asked him to let us
try some weird Filipino food. (Well really I did, Elder Evans wasn't
so happy about that haha.) So I got to eat balut, which is a duck egg
that has been fertilized and incubated for about two weeks then
boiled. I'm so glad I can say now that I ate an unborn duck chick on
my mission in Texas. I also ate a century egg, which is an egg that
has been buried for a long time until it turns completely black
inside. That one was really good.

-Hopefully y'all will see some baptisms coming up before the end of
the year. The mission is trying to reach its goal of 600 in a year and
crazy miracles are happening in every area.

I don't really have much else to say, so here's some pictures and videos!

I believe in joy!

Peace out everyone! Love y'all.
