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!!

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

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!!!
