Hey it's me again,

Well another week has gone by. The weather has been crazy this week at
one point it was in the 60's and sunny and later in the week it
snowed. Now it is nice and cool, in the high 30's low 40's and partly
cloudy, so no real need for a jacket. It nice.

This really has been an interesting week. We have been able to do a
lot of service for people this past week which has been nice but for
some reason this was a difficult week to find people at home. A lot of
the appointments we had fell though. Despite all that Elder Johnson
and I have been working hard. We were blessed with several small
tender mercies throughout this week. One of those little tender
mercies occurred on Wednesday. Our 7pm appointment fell through and
our 8 pm appointment moved back to 8:30 so we were left with a blank
space so we turned to our backup. We went and tried to contact several
members that neither of us knew. The last one on our list was not home
but when we pulled up we noticed that another less active member
across the street was just getting home. After we tried the person we
had planned on we went across the street. By this point it was 8:15
and we had an appointment at 8:30. We weren't planning on visiting
right then because of our appointment but when they answered the door
they let us right in! We made it a quick visit but it was still
awesome. We had been trying to get a hold of them for a couple weeks
now so it was a great blessing, even though we were in a time crunch.
This week has caused me to think of the words to a hymn.

"God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Ye fearful Saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding ev’ry hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower."

(Hymn number 285, God Moves in a Mysterious Way)


Sometimes the work is tough but I know that there are always blessings
in store. I love being a missionary and the blessing that that is in
my life.

Love

Hi everyone!

So this week has been super nice! Yesterday the weather got up to 66*!
It was awesome! The work is going well up here in Great Falls! We have
been starting from square one and working hard to build it up. However
good thing have been happening a lot which is awesome!
This week we saw a lot of miracles. One of those was with our
investigator Allie! We found her as we were going through our former
investigators. It was awesome! When we went back she had actually read
some of the Book of Mormon and listened to a little more of our
message. We weren't able to visit with her then but we were able to
set up a time to come back. It was awesome! It is amazing how the Lord
prepares people at different times. It is such a blessing to be a part
of the Lord’s work. I love being a missionary! I love you all!
 
Love

Hi y'all!

   So this week was awesome! The weather has been pretty nice, a
little cool with some wind but overall pretty nice. Elder Johnson and
I have been working hard so everything has been going very well!

 One awesome day this week was Sunday. During church we had a
combined 2nd hour. It was all about missionary work which was awesome.
On Sunday night we had splits, but only one person had said they could
come. The one problem with splits was we had two appointments and only
one person. About 5 min before splits we were blessed with a second
member that could come with us. We were able to make it to both
lessons and it was awesome! I know that when we prepare the Lord
provides a way that His will can be accomplished. I love being a part
of the Lords work!

Love

Craziness!!

Well hi again!
   So this week has been super crazy. The weather has been nice so
that was a perk but everything else has been crazy. On Tuesday I was
in Roundup with another elder for exchanges until Wednesday. Then on
Thursday we got mid-transfer calls! On Friday I got transferred up
here to Great Falls, about three hours away from Roundup! My new
companion is Elder Johnson. He is from Salina Utah and has been out
about 6 months. We are having lots of fun and doing lots of work.

 So a couple miracles from this week. On Tuesday, in Roundup, we had
some awesome miracles. We were finally able to get in contact with the
 Hatch's, a less active family, after trying for almost the past 3
months. It was a super awesome miracle. Here in Great Falls we have
had some awesome miracles already. On Saturday night we had about 20
min of spare time before a lesson and we decided to tract. The first
person we talked with was not interested at all. As we were walking
away from their house we saw a guy sitting on his porch across the
street. We went over and started talking with him.  He was super nice
and accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon! It was awesome. The Lord
really does bring blessings as we do His work. I am so grateful for
the opportunity I have to be in the Lords service at this time in my
life

Hello all

So this week was an awesome week! The weather has still been really
nice and everything which is always a blessing. The warmer weather
means that the deer are more active. Thankfully we have not hit any so
that is good.

The past few days have been really awesome. We have been able to find
a few new people to teach which is amazing. This week end we helped a
couple move out of the branch. It was sad but they are going where
they need to go. Missionary work wise we have seen several sweet
miracles happening this past week. On Friday we went with our branch
mission leader to go visit a part member family that they knew. It was
an awesome visit. There is a really good feeling about this transfer.
It is awesome to see how the Lord is preparing people for us to help
on their journey towards salvation. I am loving each and every moment
out here. I have been learning a lot and even so many blessings and
miracles it’s mind boggling! I love you all.

Love

Hi everyone!

This week has been pretty awesome! It has been really windy the past
few days but that just adds to the fun!  It has not snowed up here in
a while which has been nice! It has all melted and it almost feels
like spring!

This week was another awesome week. It was super-fast and kinda crazy.
One crazy miracle happened on Saturday. We planned on going out to our
Branch president’s cabin at 7 am. Elder Christensen kept forgetting
things so we were running late. However that turned out to be a huge
blessing. About 5 miles away from our final destination we passed a
minivan parked on the side of the road. As we passed we noticed a car
that had rolled off the road. We stopped the car and ran down the
hill. It turned out that three little kids had taken their parents car
for a joy ride and rolled it off the side of the road. Their father
had realized that they had left and was chasing them in the other car.
They had rolled off the road at about 60 mph. We arrived just minutes
after and were the first ones on the scene. We were able to call 911
(even though we never get signal at that location, another blessing)
and get help on its way. All the kids turned out OK which was good. It
was such an amazing blessing that we had been delayed a little and
were able to help those in such a dire situation. The Lord really does
put us where he needs to be when he needs us to be there. The Lord
provides. Love you all!

Another one bites the dust

Hi all
   Well another week has gone by faster than ever. It has been really
warm! Up into the high 30's / low 40's. It was nice to be able to do
some tract and not have to wear a jacket. All is well and the weather
is being good to us.

This week has been awesome! Norman is still progressing and is getting
ready for baptism this next weekend! Good things have been happening
here. We have been tracting a lot and we have been seeing lots of
miracles. One cool miracle was a family that we tracted into. Their
kids opened the door on Thursday and said to come back Saturday. We
came back and the mom opened the door. She said that she would be
willing to meet and that she has talked with missionaries in the past
so that was pretty awesome. Another cool miracle came from our Branch
Mission Leader. He told us about a part member family that might be
willing to let us come by on Friday to visit. It has been a really
awesome week.

Love
