Hi everyone!

   This week was kinda upset crazy. Weather wise it was kinda warm, or

should I say in the 40's. Apparently there is some snow coming so that

will be fun. Also this week there was a small little electrical fire

in the church building. It was crazy. Elder Gutierrez and I had

randomly stopped at the church and noticed that the fire box by the

door was beeping. The alarm was not going off yet so it was really

weird. We went around and found the fire and called 911. The fire

department showed up and took care of it. It was small but it was

inside the wall a little so it was a blessing that we called when we

did. That was the craziest thing this week.

   Now on a different note there were also a lot of cool experiences

that happened this week. On Thursday we had a really cool experience.

We were out on some back roads trying to find a member that we were

planning on visiting. For some reason we couldn't find them at all so

we stopped by a random house to see if they would know. They looked up

the address online and sent us on our merry way. We tried those

directions but it was to no avail. We were fine with not finding the

member but we both felt like we needed to go back and talk with the

people that had helped us. For some reason it was really hard to

decide whether or not to go back so we prayed. After we finished

praying we both felt again that we really need to go back and invite

them to learn more, so that's what we did. It turned out that they

were not interested but then they let us use their phone and we got a

hold of the member we were wanting to visit. Even though those people

that we felt we needed to go back and talk to weren’t interested as we

left we both felt a profound peace hat we had done what God wanted us

to do. It was a powerful testimony building experience for both of us.

Another miracle this week was that we were blessed to have three

people that we are starting to work with show up To church, and all of

them really enjoyed it. There are so many blessings and miracles that

happen and it helps to strengthen my testimony every time. I love

being able to serve a mission and be a part of this incredible work! I

love you all!

Merry Christmas!

Love

Hi every one!

     So this week has been pretty nice. It has been in the 40's all
week so it's been warm. There is snow expected for later this week so
that will be fun! Other than that all is going well weather wise!
   This week we had some cool miracles. One was one Tuesday evening.
We had selected a few less-actives that we wanted to find. One was a
guy by the name of Virgil. We went out to Virgil's house. His address
ended up being a nail salon. We were going to just leave but we
decided to try calling. As it turns out it was his wife's nail salon
and their house was just across the street. As we were on the phone
Virgil came outside his house and waved us over. We then had a really
good visit and have an appointment to go back tomorrow! He seemed
really excited to have us come by. It was an amazing little miracle to
meet someone who is so willing and desirous to meet with us. I love
seeing all the little miracles and the many blessings all the time. I
know this is the Lord's work that am blessed to be a part of. I love
you all!

We saw a Llama :)

Hello everyone!!!!

   It is still cold. Just this morning the temperature was 5⁰ with
wind-chill. The 20's and 30's are feeling great now. It's weird how
easily our bodies adjust to the cold. Just a few weeks ago 30⁰ felt
freezing but now 30⁰ seems warm. My new companion is awesome! He is
from Southern California as well which is nice! His name is Elder
Gutierrez.
   This week has been great. We had a really good Thanksgiving and
actually found a part member family that has some really good
potential on Thanksgiving Day. We went to a member’s house for our
Thanksgiving Lunch/dinner and they had invited the part member
family. It was really cool to be able to meet them. The dad who is not
a member seems really interested in learning and he already has a
really good fellowship. It seems like finding investigators at its
finest. It was a nice Thanksgiving miracle! All is well and we are
working on the "Roundup" of people to teach. Good things are happening
in Roundup!

Love
Elder Kimball

Hello everybody!

Well transfers have struck again and chose me. I am going from the
wonderful small town of Wright to the equally small town of Roundup,
Montana. My new companion will be one Elder Gutierrez. Many more
adventures to come! I was somewhat saddened when I found out I was
getting transferred but excited for the new experiences that lay ahead.
I have really grown to love this area and the members here. I will
really miss them and their wonderful spirit. I have learned much in
this area in the six months that I have been here. One of the best
things I learned was how to effectively use my time when there is
absolutely nothing to do. I also learned how to work better with
members and the ward council. I hope that I will be able to carry
those lessons on to my future areas effectively. I am truly grateful
for the opportunity I have had to serve here in Wright, Wyoming. I hope
that I will be able to be a blessing to those in the Roundup area.
This past week has been pretty awesome! I spent a day in Gillette for an
exchange which was fun. There have been a lot of good things happening
in our area recently. It has all been happening slowly but it is still
awesome! I have loved Wright and I am excited for Roundup.

Picture for the week

It snowed  :)

Hello all!

 So this week we actually got some snow! It was pretty awesome. Just a
little and it was mostly gone by the morning but it still snowed. So
that means winter is coming. So it is time to prepare for more cold! I
think I'm ready.
    So this week was pretty awesome! One big miracle from this week
happened on Sunday. We had set a goal to have two investigators at
sacrament meeting. We worked all week to encourage our investigators
to come to sacrament meeting. On Sunday morning the only people we
were expecting got called in to work so they couldn't come. The
miracle came when three of our other investigators were able to show
up out of the blue. It was an awesome miracle! We had given our all
and the Lord provided blessings. We had no control other than to
invite and wait and see. I have truly grown to recognize more and more
the small little miracles in my life. I am loving this work and all
the blessings that I witness daily.

Love

First morning snow

Hi Everybody

This week has been getting a little chilly, and the wind has been

picking up as well which just adds wind chill and cold. We actually

woke up one morning and when we looked outside there was a nice frost

layer on the cars. Also lately we have been seeing a lot of buffalo on

our drives to Gillette and back. So that has been the random stuff

from this week.

    Other than that this week has been awesome! We have been spending

much of our time contacting and we are starting to sift the wheat from

the tares. We have been able to finally get a hold of some less

actives that we haven't found until now and as well sift out those

investigators that are not really interested at all. One miracle this

week was our lesson with Christy. She has been meeting with

missionaries for a while. Due to some personal things she has not been

able to get baptized but should be able to be at the beginning of the

year. We had a really good lesson with her and were able to discover

what really has been holding her back in her progression. It was

awesome to recognize how closely the spirit was directing the

discussion. I love to see the spirit touch the lives of people and to

see their willingness to follow God and the path that he provides for

them. I love this work and the opportunity have to be a part of it.

Elder Cameron J Kimball

Hello All!!!!

     So this week has been good. The weather has been nice and it

hasn't snowed yet which has been nice. Also I go my new companion

Elder Harper. There has been a lot of good but also some not so good

things happening with the work in this area.

        This week was really crazy with a lot happening but at the same time

kinda slow. We had to change our plans a little with the unexpected

transfer of Elder Rich. Then, to add to the craziness that always

seems to happen all at the same time, two of our investigators just up

and moved. Also everyone seemed to be busy this week as it was

difficult to schedule appointments. We have continued to work and

search for people that would be willing to let us visit with them.

There were two small miracles this week that were very similar. Both

came as a result of contacting some potential investigators. On

Thursday, after weekly planning, Elder Harper and I went to go contact

some potential investigators. The first person we tried was Karen.

Elder Rich and I had tracted into Karen a little over a week ago. At

that time she asked us to come back in a week because she was really

busy at the moment. When we came back we did not know what to expect.

To our delight she still is interested in learning. She has a strong

faith in Christ and is desirous to learn more. I know that we were

sent there for a reason. Most of our miracles this week were very

similar to that. I love working in this area and with the people here.

Coool looking car we saw in Gillette

Hi everybody

 So this week has been kinda cold, I guess more cool for this area. It

 has stayed in the 40's and 50's all week. Nothing too cold but a

 little prep for winter. This week was also pretty awesome because of

 General Conference! I don't think I have ever been so excited to watch

 general conference as I have been on my mission. It truly is a

 revelatory experience.

     I especially Loved Elder Quentin L Cook's talk about being

 prepared for the storms of life. I love the phrase "Ship shape and

 Bristol Fashion".  That was an answer directly to me of one of the

 questions I had prepared to take to conference. I had prepared in my

 notes the question "What does the Lord expect of me as a missionary?"

 The idea of being Ship shape and Bristol Fashion was the answer I was

 looking for. As I continue to strive to be prepared and ready for the

 challenges and trial that will come I have noticed that some things

 that used to seem difficult are now more simple and easier to bear.

 This week was a little slow yet even though it was somewhat slow it

 was amazing to see how the Lord still helps his work progress. On

 Friday Elder Nelson came on an exchange with us. During that exchange

 we stopped by the house of one of our investigators. They let us in

 and we told them about General Conference. Right then and there he

 selected it to record it so if he didn't watch it then he could watch

 it later. On Sunday night we had an appointment with them. They had not

 watched conference yet but before we left they had it on and were

 sitting and watching it. It was awesome to see as well that in just the

 first few minutes they already had something stand out to them. They

 are prepared for the gospel, their progress has been slow but it is

 amazing to see their progress still happening. I love this work and I

 love our Savior. General Conference truly is a time to receive direct

 revelation for the world from the Lord. The gospel is true. I know it

 and I love it.

Hello everybody!

      This week has been pretty awesome! it has been a little warm
but recently cooled off a lot!!! Last night we stopped and I got a
sweet picture of some lightning. It was a little stormy last night.
There are a lot of amazing things that have happened. One is that we
have been super busy!
       This week has been amazing! We had a really good planning
session a week ago and talked about how to get the work progressing in
this area. Our goal is to make this small little town a vibrant
proselyting area. It is a small town here and it seems to be a little
harder to get a lot of new investigators. There is however a tight
community bond amongst the people here. Our focus has really been
working through the members. We even started implementing some active
member lesson once or twice a week. Not too much to distract from our
investigators or less actives but just enough so it has an effect. We
are beginning to see more success in regards to how often we have
appointments. The blessings of member referrals is not coming at this
point but we are definitely being blessed in other ways. This past week
has been super busy and this next week is looking to be the same way!
I know that as we set goals and make plans for how to accomplish those
goals the Lord blesses us in so many ways! It truly is an act of faith
and diligence. I love this work and the people i am so blessed to
serve.

Love

Hello All!

  So this week was rather uneventful. Nothing too crazy weather wise

but it’s been good. There have been some cool sunsets. Picture included.

    This week we had a few little miracles which were all pretty

awesome! One happened this Sunday evening. We tracted into this lady

named Adrianne. She seemed to be really busy but we still were

persistent. We found out that she has a child that is ill and has been

for a while. We testified of the Restoration and especially of the

priesthood. It was at that point that her face changed. It changed

from just talking to us to a genuine interest. As we left it seemed as

though she really wanted us to come back eventually and talk with her

more. I am continually amaze at the way we are guided by the spirit. I

love being able to witness the spirit as it touches people’s hearts. I

love this gospel and I know that it is true. I learned a lot this week

that it is through the spirit that hearts are touched.

Elder Cameron J Kimball

Hello all!

  SO this week was pretty awesome! Somehow by accident I ended up in the newspaper here! we were doing service at the library and someone took a picture of all of the volunteers as we were helping. So we got on to the front cover! Also it has been really hot here the past week but the work goes on. 

So highlight of this week. On Sunday the parents of a family that was recently reactivated spoke in church. They gave wonderful talks and it was amazing to see contrast of when they were't coming to now and how much they have embraced the gospel now. Also on Sunday, Sunday was just an awesome day, one of our investigators that we haven't been able to see in the past few weeks came to church!! It was amazing because he has been gone for about a month but still is wanting to get baptized. It has been a pretty awesome week. Also we got our transfer calls yesterday. Both Elder Rich and I are staying here in Wright! I will know this town too well after all the time I've been here. This is going to be a fun 6 weeks! I love his gospel and the amazing blessings it brings into the lives of all those that strive to learn and live it! Thank you all for your support

Love

Hi everybody!

SO this week was pretty unique! Weather wise it was nice and cool for

most of the week. I spent most of the first half of the week in

Gillette on an exchange so I was not in my own area at all but it was

lots of fun! I got to help out another set of elders and learn a lot

from them as well.

  On Thursday we had a big day. We woke up super early and drove the 4

hours to Billings for a meeting. The meeting was with Elder Martino of

the Seventy. He came to our mission for a mission tour. It was a

really awesome meeting and I learned so much! They raised the mission

goals which will make the mission as a whole stretch to achieve those

goals. It was an amazing opportunity to meet a member of the seventy

and to learn from him. We have been starting to try and apply what we

learned and it seems to be somewhat making a difference. One of the

most noticeable differences is how many referrals that we get from

members. At dinners we have changed the way we ask people who they

know that we can visit. We have already seen more names of people that

we can visit that would be more receptive. It was a wonderful week.

Slow but still good things happening. I love being a missionary.

some members took us spider

bigger....it is a wolf spider....fun times...

Hello Every Body!!

   SO It is beginning to cool off here in Wyoming. School is starting

soon apparently and that seems to mean winter is beginning soon as

well. It is raining a lot more lately and all that fun stuff so the

cold will probably come in the next 3-4 months. Fun times.

     This week has been really good but kinda slow at the same time.

On Saturday our ward went up to Billings for a ward temple day, we

stayed in wright but that is ok. However among those that attended the

temple were 3 recent converts! It was amazing to see them after they

attended the temple and see the pure joy that they had felt from the

temple. Another amazing thing that happened this week was we finally

got one of our investigators back on date. We have been working with

Larry since before I came into this area. He was on date before but

had missed his date. I feel like this time he could make his date and

hopefully He will be baptized soon. It has been a really good week.

Also this week we had a really interesting experience. We tracted into

this lady and she seemed really interested. She said we could come

back when her husband was there the next day. We went back and ended

up talking with just the husband. He seemed somewhat interested but at

the same time not really. After a little bit we realized that he really

was not interested but rather was trying to tear down our faith. As we

drove away I knew with more a surety that This is Gods church. It was

interesting that even though He was trying to tear us down it ended up

strengthening my own testimony. I love this work of salvation that I

am privileged to be a part of.

Hello Everyone!

So this week has been pretty awesome. We had a freaky hail storm on
Tuesday night that seemed to come out of nowhere. We were just hopping
onto the highway to drive up to Gillette when it hit. It was so bad
that we had to pull off because we couldn't see anything. The hail was
about the size of a nickel and it was mixed in with a massive
downpour. We literally could not see any of the lines on the road at
all and we could not see any other cars except their lights. It was
pretty epic. At least we made it out safe.

    So this week we had some amazing miracles! One miracle actually
has two parts. A member in our ward suggested we go and tract into a
house of some of his co-workers. He works in the oil fields and
several of his co-workers room together when they are up here for
work. So we went by the house. The first time we ran into a guy named
Dallas. Dallas actually grew up in a part-member family but had never
joined the church. He seemed really interested in learning more about
the church and readily accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon. A few
days later we stopped by again to see if Dallas was there. We talked
with Josh who told us that Dallas was not there. As we were walking
away we felt we should go back and invite Josh, Dallas's roommate, to
learn as well. This week we have an appointment with both Josh and
Dallas and both seem very interested. It truly was an amazing miracle
and helped to build my testimony of the importance of following the
promptings and feelings that we receive. I have truly been blessed
with the opportunity to serve a mission and especially serve in this
area. Miracles are real.

Love

Another typical sunset

Hello!!

      This week has been hot. It has been in the 90's all week which

makes walking around very tiring, but it is all worth it. Along with

the heat comes the wind which helps a little. Yesterday we saw two

dust devils which was pretty cool! This week has been a difficult yet

very rewarding week, and it has been lots of fun!

     At the beginning of the week for the first few days almost all of

our set appointments fell through which was really tough. It was a

challenge to keep having everything fall through. However near the end

of the week things started to change. We made an extra effort to be

extra obedient and diligent and we almost immediately saw blessings

come. We have been doing a lot of tracting and from Monday until

Friday we did not find anyone that was interested. But between

Saturday and Sunday we were blessed with 4 new people to start

teaching! It made me think of something one of my companions would say

all the time "Obedience brings blessings; exact obedience brings

miracles." That is something that I really have seen this past week.

We may be doing what we are supposed to but as we strengthen our

commitment and obey more exactly instead of just being blessed we will

truly begin to see miracles in our lives. I love being able to learn

and understand more about the gospel and as well to share that with

all those that we come in contact with! I love you all!

Hello Everybody!

  So this week was quite the adventure! I finally got my new companion
on Wednesday night really late so we didn't get back to Wright until
Thursday morning. I spent most the the past week up in Gillette
waiting for my new companion. His name is Elder Rich and he is from
Kansas City Missouri. This is his first week in the mission field so
that adds to the adventure!

 This past few days there have been some cool things that have
happened. We have spent a lot of our time contacting people that
previous missionaries had talked to. It surprises me how some of the
people that we have met are ready to learn about the Gospel but were
never contacted again after the first time. I am loving this area! I
have learned a lot here. The best part of the week was Sunday. We had
visited a few people on Friday and Saturday and talked with them just
for a little bit. Then on Sunday we had a lot of people that we had
met and are going to work come to church! it was amazing to see them
there and make the choice themselves to come. I love this Gospel and
the Light and Knowledge that it brings. I truly have been blessed with
this opportunity to serve and dedicate this time to the Lord!

Love
Elder Cameron J Kimball

Good Morning!

   This week has been pretty awesome and very hectic. The craziness started on Friday when my companion, Elder Hedman left. He has completed his mission and for some reason they send those people who are going home a few days early. Also yesterday we got our calls for the new transfer. I am staying in Wright and have the opportunity to train a brand new missionary again. I am excited to stay in Wright, I am loving this area.

    One awesome thing that happened this week was that we had a zone training meeting on Tuesday. At that meeting they had the departing testimonies of the missionaries that were going home. It was amazing to be able to feel their spirit and to see how they have become converted to the gospel. One of those missionaries was Elder Vasquez. Elder Vasquez actually served right around me when I first came out. It was incredible to see the difference from then until now. The gospel of Jesus Christ really does change lives for the better. We have been able to visit with many people and to see the gospel truly bless their lives. In my studies I have been reading the Old Testament. It is very confusing sometimes but I still have learned a lot. A couple times as it is talking about the early prophets it says that they walked with God. They were truly converted to the gospel and got to the point of having the opportunity to walk with God. I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true. It has the power to make us who God wants us to be as we humble live the Gospel every day. I thank you all for the continued support.

Hello again!!!

  Well This week was pretty awesome and somewhat uneventful. One of
the Assistants in our mission came on an exchange with us just for a
day which was really awesome! They have been making rounds around the
mission and going with every companionship. It was a great learning
opportunity for me and I learned a lot!

Another amazing thing that happened this week happened in fact just
yesterday! The Father of the family that got baptized last week was
ordained to the Aaronic priesthood. I had the opportunity to
participate in that experience. It was amazing. I have truly been
blessed to see so many people learn and progress more in the gospel
and come closer to Christ. Also Yesterday was my companions last
Sunday in the mission field as he is completing his mission this
Saturday. This small little town continually surprises me with all the
amazing things that are  happening here, and all the wonderful people
that I am blessed to come in contact with. I am loving every moment
out here and it continues to be an amazing experience. I love this
gospel and I love sharing it!

Elder Cameron J Kimball

Hi everybody!!

    Well everything is going all Wright!!! This week has been pretty

awesome!! On Thursday we had another all day excursion to Billings

where we got to meet our new mission President, President Wadsworth!

He is super nice and I am excited for his new perspective on the

mission. It was a lot of driving that was well worth it.

Also this week we had a Baptism!!! On the 4th of July too!!! It almost

seemed like the best 4th of July Ever! It was a whole family that got

baptized which makes it even more amazing! 2 kids, their parents and

their Grandma! 3 generations all baptized on the same day! It was an

incredible blessing to have been a part of their lives and to see them

learn and progress in the gospel! My companion had the opportunity to

baptize them. It was an amazing experience to be a part of it all. The

spirit was so strong at their baptism as well as at their confirmation

the next day. I am loving this small little town. The Lord truly

prepares people no matter where they are. I love this area and the

work that I am blessed to be a part of. This truly is the gospel of

Jesus Christ that I am out here sharing with the world. I love it!!

Love Elder Cameron J Kimball

Hello everybody!!

So this week was kinda slow but there were a lot of amazing things

that happened! Here in Wright it is hard to have a lot to do all the

time. There are only 1800 people in the entire town and apparently

2800 people total if you include all the people in a 30 mile radius

from wright. But it is an awesome little town and there is some really

amazing things happening.

The most amazing thing that happened this week was on Thursday. We

have a family here that is working towards baptism but they were

really struggling with the word of wisdom. The father has been chewing

tobacco since the time he was 15 and the mother has an alcohol

problem. They were having a really hard time quitting. On Thursday

they had us come over to give them blessings so they could quit their

bad habits. We talked with them for a little bit then gave them both

blessings for strength to overcome. After we finished the dumped out

all their coffee, tea, alcohol, and tobacco right then. Since then

they have not bought anymore and are doing amazing!!! They are truly

prepared and ready for this gospel. The father told us in one lesson

that throughout his life he has gone from church to church but nothing

ever felt right, and now that he is attending The Church of Jesus

Christ he feels that he has finally found what he has been searching

for all his life. His simple testimony has strengthened mine in so

many ways. I love this blessing i have been given to come and serve in

this area at this time.

Elder Cameron J Kimball 

Hello Everybody!!

So this was pretty awesome!! The weather was beautiful other than one

thunderstorm that woke me up in the middle of the night. The

thunderstorm was pretty epic though. There was a ton of lighting!!

There seemed to be a flash of lightning every 2-3 seconds, but we were

safe and warm inside our apartment. By morning all was well and the

sun was out.

   However, weather aside this week was amazing! There continues to be

amazing miracles that seem to happen all the time here in wright. This

week ended truly amazingly. Yesterday during church we had an awesome

experience. Elder Hedman and I were teaching the gospel Principles

class. For the lesson we were talking about the life of Christ. During

the lesson Rodney, one of our investigators, answered one of the

question and then proceeded to bear testimony of how he knew that

particular point of doctrine. He already has a powerful testimony of

Christ and as well of the Book of Mormon. It has been amazing to see

him and his family progress in the gospel. They are amazing people.

Also they are preparing for their baptism which will be this Saturday,

on the 4th of July. That will be an amazing day!!

   I Love being a part of the Lord's work. It is such a blessing to me

in my life to be able to see how the gospel of Jesus Christ can and

does change lives!

This is my Joy (Alma 29:9)

Love Elder Cameron J Kimball

Hello hello hello!!!

So this week has been really busy! On Wednesday we made the 4.5 hour

drive from Billings to Wright. Needless to say that was a long day,

but it was also a crazy drive. Driving down we got caught in an epic

thunder storm. Marble size Hail, Lightning, Thunder, Rain drops the

size of golf balls. It was Crazy!!! Lightning was literally striking

on all sides very close, but we made it out just fine! That was my

welcome to Wright Wyoming. Wright is awesome! My companion is Elder

Hedman. He is from South Jordan Utah and he is awesome!! This is going

to be a really fun Transfer!

There are a lot of amazing things happening here in Wright! There are

two families that we are teaching that are doing amazing!!! It is

kinda sad to say but this is my smallest area (population wise) yet it

is the area with the most people progressing towards baptism! There

truly are amazing things happening here in Wright. Also this week, two

days after I got to wright, we had a zone conference in Billings. It

was also our good bye conference for President and Sister Mecham, our

mission president and his wife. They complete their mission at the end

of this month and we will be getting a new mission president! It was

wonderful to have the opportunity to say good bye to them before they

depart! I have been extremely blessed to serve here in the Montana

Billings Mission! I love you all!!!

Elder Cameron J Kimball

 President and Sister Mecham

Zone conference

 Road to?

Hello!!!

  Yep it has already been another week!!! It’s so crazy how fast

everything goes by on the mission! The days are just flying by and its

crazy! It almost feels like I wake up and go right back to sleep. I

can never keep track of what day it is. It is all a blur of miracles!

  This past week we had some amazing miracles happen! On Saturday we

had no set appointments which means lots of tracting! It started out

kinda slow but didn't stay that way. After we finished with dinner we

decided to go tracting in an area that my companion had felt we should

tract in eventually. When we got to that are we started with a prayer

then set to work. Miracles came! The first half of the street was a

lot of people that were not interested. As we kept going on the other

side we were blessed to find a new investigator, but we didn't stop

there. We finished that street and felt we should start on an adjacent

street. The third door we knocked on, a guy opened it and said

"Elders, we've been expecting you!" and let us right in! We went in

and as it turns out the parents were members that have not been to

church in a really long time, and their two oldest kids have not been

baptized! It was a true blessing!!! Just in that one hour of tracting

that we did we were blessed to find a total of 3 new investigators and

2 new less active!! It truly was a miracle and our prayers for new

people to teach were indeed answered! Prayer really does work!

HELLO ALL

So this week has been pretty awesome!!  Also we got our transfer news, and what a surprise.

 I am getting transferred which means another new companion and a new area! I am headed

down to Wright Wyoming! Going south again!! Wright is right near Gillette Wyoming. It will

be loads of fun!!! I am excited to get another new companion, even though I have had a lot

of those!!

So this week has been fun! We have been really busy which is good. We taught a lot of

lessons this week and it was awesome! So one awesome thing that happened this week actually

ended up helping another area. Elder Well's and I were out tracting and we ran into these

two Hispanic ladies. We tried talking with them but as it turns out they don't speak

English. So we called the Spanish speaking sisters in the area and they had a lesson over

the phone. Now those two ladies are new investigators! It was awesome to be able to help

the Lord's work progress even if it didn't mean that we will get to teach them. It was also

cool to communicate with them on a very minimal level. I know almost no Spanish but we were

still able to have some form of a conversation. The Lord really does help his work progress!

This is my Joy (Alma 29:9 )

Hello !!!!

So this week has been pretty awesome!!!! A lot of amazing things happened this week. There have been a lot of random storms as well which has been kinda crazy. It’s almost as if thunder, lightning, and rain come out of nowhere all the time, and leave just as fast as they come. But that’s just the weather here in Billings!!

So a lot happened. First on Wednesday it was a super awesome day! In the morning we had a zone training meeting which was super awesome and I learned a lot! Then Wednesday night was also amazing, we got the opportunity to attend the temple to do baptisms for the dead with Jhevon and Kacy. Jhevon was baptized the beginning of April and His wife Kacy are doing awesome. Kacy was already a member but is now active. It was incredible to be in the temple and to see them there as well. It is amazing the blessings that come as people embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ. The other amazing thing that happened this week was on Saturday! One of our investigators D'Vonte was Baptized!!! It was awesome I had the privilege of actually performing the baptism and that was a super awesome experience!! This week has been super busy and super awesome!!! It is amazing to actually see some of the fruits of our labors. I am loving every moment of the mission! It is wonderful!!!

This is my JOY -Alma 29:9

Hello Hello!

So this week was pretty awesome! It has been a little cold all week but

other than that it has been nice! This week was full of just lots of

little miracles! We had numerous people just kinda appear out of nowhere. All people that just have not been to the church in years! But they are

starting to make progress towards coming back!

Yesterday we had the neat opportunity to participate in giving the

priesthood to one of our recent converts! It was a wonderful blessing to

have seen him progress in the gospel since before he was baptized to now. The gospel really does bless our lives! I love seeing how much this gospel

can bless our lives! I know it’s true. I have begun to understand more and

more the importance of The Book of Mormon in everyone’s life. The Book of Mormon is true and it truly testifies of Jesus Christ. I love this work!

Hello!!!!!!!

SO this week was pretty Awesome!! And to end it all I will be getting a brand new companion! We got our transfer calls and I will be staying here in billings and I will be training a new missionary! I am excited and a little nervous at the same time! This will be my first time training a new missionary so it will be lots of fun! My companion Elder Archie will be transferred out near Missoula!  That means I will get another new companion! That will make it one new companion for every month of my mission!!

So this week was awesome! We were able to find a few solid people to teach! On Wednesday we had dinner with a family in one of our wards. They had one of their friends over and now he is a new investigator! It was an awesome experience! It has been amazing to find those individuals who are ready and prepared. The guy that was at dinner has truly been prepared and has been around the Church without even knowing it sometimes. He is ready for the gospel and ready to learn. I have learned a lot so far on my mission and I have plenty more to learn. I am overjoyed that I have been given the opportunity to serve a mission and to be a part of the Lords work. I love it here and the people here are amazing!!

Hello!!

This week was awesome!!! It all went by so quickly but it was fun. On Wednesday we woke

up to a nice blanket of snow over everything, but by the afternoon it was completely gone!

Crazy weather up here. This week also brought some very unique experiences! Included is

a picture of a doormat we came across while tracting.

This week Elder Cravens and I got the opportunity to be witnesses at a wedding! One of our

investigators, Jhevon, got married so that he will be able to get baptized in a few weeks! It

was awesome! They are an awesome Family and have really just embraced the Gospel! It was

even cool because they were planning on getting married in September but decided to get

married now and just have the celebration in September so that He could get baptized! I

know that this gospel really does bless families! They have come so far just since we

have started working with them. It is amazing to see how the positive changes they are

making are affecting their lives for the better! I know that what we are teaching as

missionaries is truly the Gospel.

Hello Everybody!!!

   So this week was Awesome!! The past few days it was sunny, in the 50's and a slight breeze. Perfect weather to be out and walking around! It is wonderful to think that spring will be here in just a few weeks! Also there is no more snow in Miles City which is awesome!! This week had some more traveling! This time we drove all the way out to Bozeman for an all mission conference! It was Incredible!

 The All mission Conference was all about Digital devices! Our mission is a testing mission for a renew, reset, and repent for the devices that we are using. It is an incredible opportunity to be a part of this testing that will change how many missions proselyte. The conference that we had was amazing. I learned so much. Elder Zwick of the 70 came and spoke to our mission at the conference. He talked about a lot of things and the spirit was very strong throughout the entire meeting. I received a lot of insight during the meeting. A few points really stood out to me. One was the question "How is your heart?" a simple question with deep meaning. Our hearts are the source of our true desires and we will more often than not follow our heart. So to all of you reading this "How is your Heart?" Another thing that I learned was to Simplify and Intensify in all that I do especially in teaching. As I have implemented that over the past few days I have been able to feel the spirit more fully during lessons. I know without a doubt that this is the work of God. I love the opportunity I have been privileged with to serve a mission. It truly has been thus far an incredible experience! I love you all.

Hello everybody!!!!

    The cold has not left but the snow is gone other than the occasional flurries. The roads are clear and so are the skies and all seems to be going well. This past week we did a lot of driving! from Tuesday to Saturday my companion and I drove almost 1000 miles. It was very long! we had a meeting in Billings ( 300 miles round trip) then I went on an exchange out in Sidney (250 miles round trip) than after we got back we went back out to Sidney for a baptism that they had ( another 250 miles round trip) so that combined with driving around in our area was a lot! But all the driving has given me lots of time to think and ponder on my purpose as a missionary and how it has played a role in my life to this point.

    I know that I am out on a mission for a reason. I have had the opportunity to witness many people come closer to their Savior. It has blessed me in countless ways and helped me strengthen my own testimony of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This past week we had some amazing lessons amidst all of our driving. Last night we had a lesson with one of our progressing investigators. She is preparing for her baptism in the next few weeks and is super excited. I love having the opportunity to witness how the Gospel of Jesus Christ can change lives. It has changed my life for the better and I have seen it change the lives of those I have been privileged to meet. The blessings that come from living the gospel of Jesus Christ are immeasurable and incredible. I love serving a mission. The work of God is great and I am blessed to be a part of that work. I love you!! Thank you for all your support!!

Hello Everybody!!!

   So this week has been pretty awesome!! It only snowed a little bit but it has been cold and the wind does not help at all. Also this week there was a Mid-Transfer adjustment that happened so I have another new companion, Elder Christopherson. My previous companion, Elder Wright, was transferred to Glendive which is still in the same district. Elder Christopherson came out two transfers before me so this will be lots of fun. Sometimes it is hard to have companions change but I know that it is what is best for everyone that it affects. A lot has happened this week and a lot will be happening in the next few weeks.

   This past week was awesome! Just last night we had an amazing lesson with one of our investigators who is working towards baptism. It was awesome. The spirit was super strong and was defiantly felt by all those who were present. I love having the opportunity to help others come unto Christ, it truly has strengthened my testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and the importance of the work I am out here to do. Sometimes it is tough out here and I seem to be tired all the time but I always seem to have enough energy to accomplish what the Lord needs me to. I know that He is directing this work and is preparing us and those we come in contact with to hear the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Being out here on a mission has truly blessed my life. I love being out here and assisting in the Lord’s work.

Howdy!!!

   So this week has been pretty nice and sunny, sometimes a little overcast but not too bad. But this morning we woke up to a little bit of snow which melted off really quickly so it was all good. Also we spent the past few days visiting a Branch out in Jordan Montana, which is about 80 miles north of Miles City. There are not very many people there at all so we did not spend much time out there. It was a neat experience to attend a church in a branch of about 30 people. It was also cool because literally everyone in the branch was related or will be soon. It is crazy how small some of the congregations are. Also when we were up in Jordan we got to help one family with the morning feeding of the cows. It was awesome!!!

   So this whole week has been awesome! On Thursday we met with a couple that we had found tracting on Sunday. They are awesome. We had given them a pamphlet and they had read the entire pamphlet and wrote down questions that they had. It was awesome!!! The lesson didn't go quite as planned but it went how it needed to. We spent most of the lesson answering their questions and testifying about what we know to be true. It was really powerful!! Also while we were out in Jordan we had an amazing lesson with a Less Active Member! He struggles with some things in his life and it was awesome to see his desire to become better and overcome his trials. There have been a lot of amazing miracles that are happening here in this area! I love the work here and I know that the Book of Mormon is really true and that it is indeed the word of God.

Hello All!!! Feb 2

   So it snowed again, only an inch this time so it wasn't too bad. It actually felt like winter again which almost seemed unusual. It has been such nice weather up here I almost think that the California weather is chasing out the normal Montana weather. Yesterday we got our transfer news and Elder Sanders and I are both staying here in Laurel for another six weeks. Time is flying by so quickly it is crazy. We feel like we wake up and go right back to sleep. Our days have been going by so quickly! One minute its noon and the next its 5 pm, than right after dinner it feels like it already time to go in for the night. It is all just going so fast!

    This past week has been really awesome! Now that we have been in this area for almost 7 weeks we are starting to see the results of our work. On Sunday one of the less active members we have been working with came to church! It was awesome! She has not been to church in over 5 years and until recently did not want to come back, but as we have been meeting with her she has begun to have a desire and finally made it to church. It truly was a miracle. It really showed me that blessings will come as we continue to try our best to do the Lord’s work. Faith always proceeds the miracle and I have seen that this week as we have begun to recognize more and more miracles. I love being out here and being a part of this work. It truly has blessed my life in many ways I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that is the message we share with those we come in contact with!

This is My Joy Alma 29:9
