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.

This is My Joy ( Alma 29:9 )

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
Sincerely

Hello all!!! Jan 26

    So this week has been awesome!  The temperature actually got up to 60 this week it was super nice! The roads are mostly dry and snow free! We have actually been able to walk around without our heavy coats, which is really nice! So with the good weather we have been able to talk with more people because more people are out and about. This week we have seen a lot of awesome miracles and have been able to meet a lot nice people which is always nice.
    On Sunday one of the less active members we have been working with came again. She has started coming on a regular basis and is now considered an active member in the ward again. It has been awesome to see her progress and renew the covenants she made when she was baptized. One amazing thing that happened this week was one of our investigators finally was able to come to church. It was awesome. He seemed to really enjoy it and as it turned out he had also brought his wife, who is a member that has not been to church in a while, with him.  It truly has been amazing to see and find more people that are ready to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Another cool experience happened on Sunday afternoon. We were out driving in the outskirts of town and got to a point where we had to go up a hill that was all slush and ice. Our car made it up the first part but started to loose traction. I began to pray that we would make it. Our tires than started to get traction and we made it up the hill without much trouble. I know that it was a direct answer to our prayers. We had to get up the hill to get to our next appointment and our prayers were answered. Heavenly Father is always willing to help us with our trials. Sometimes we just need to make an effort and ask him. I know that prayer really is a way to communicate with our Heavenly Father. He does listen to our prayers and he always answers them, however he answers in the way that he knows will be best and also in his own timing.
