Getting ready for Christmas


Hey everyone! i want to wish everyone a merry Christmas! Its going to be an awesome time to be out here in the field i will never forget this Christmas its really a time when i get to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, and not about the presents!
Well we had a cool little zone conference this last week, it was for Christmas but we received training for the first little bit on how to get people to church. It was some good training and that has been a real struggle for us so it was good to get some ideas to help us out. We also got to watch the movie 17 miracles, and wow i was almost in tears that was such a good movie. Really is amazing to see what those people really went through to get to salt lake. To see their dedication to the Lord and to see the miracles and the Lords hand in their crossing. If you have not seen it go and it see it, its a great movie.
There is nothing really to talk about, well yesterday we had a cool experience that we can see the lord works in mysterious ways. Two people after church just showed up they just moved from Oregon and were looking for the church. They are not members and they really want to come to church. I was so stoked, we actually found people that want to come to church. We are going to start teaching them this week!
Well i will tell you more just when we talk love you all.

Week 29, Newark Delaware


Hey everyone! how is everything going? All is going good here in the great state of Delaware! This last week went pretty good i got some re-motivation! SO its a pretty exciting time of year to talk about Jesus Christ because that's what we are celebrating the life and birth of Jesus Christ. All is good!
Well this last week we were able to find 6 new investigators that's a lot for this area i am pretty excited to teach them again! But it was pretty cool the ways we found them, defiantly can see Gods hand in this work its amazing! So i am pretty excited to see what can happen, plus the other elders should have some baptisms coming up so i am excited for them to.
Well this last Friday we had a special meeting with good old President. I had to give some training on how to work with stake and ward leaders it went really good! We learned a lot and he is super excited what our mission is doing we are doing a lot of amazing things. Like we looked at the stats basically of last November we had 23 baptisms and then this year we had 50, we are doing great as a mission, even tough i haven't really contributed yet! but its all good, I am working on Gods time table not mine. I know baptisms will come! But it was good President is such a cool guy  i always learn so much form him each and every time.
Also i went on exchange with Elder Lindsley this weekend. We went to a members house who are working to get to the temple we had a sweet experience, he just went off on how much he loves us. Elder Lindsley said as he was talking to the member, the member named Mario was just looking at me Elder Lindsley could just see the love he had form me and him in his eyes it was soo cool. That's when you know you are doing something right, I'm so grateful for the spirit cause i was sure feeling it right there. Then we taught some great lessons together.  We had a fun time. Man i love being a missionary its the hardest funnest thing i have ever done, I love talking about Jesus Christ and reminding myself what this time of year really means! Its sad the world is like this but they are forgetting the real meaning of Christmas we get caught up in all of the worldly activities and we are More stressed then anything. This is a time of joy and peace! take some time and just remember our savior! I love you all thanks for all you do your amazing!
