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!

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.

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.

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.

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
Elder Cameron J Kimball
