Hows it going y'all I hope you all had a good week this week!


This week was actually so baller!  Well really since like Friday cuz on Friday we had transfers and I finally am out of Atlantic Iowa, thank goodness.  I hated that place.  Now I am up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in the Yankton Trails area and holy, it is such a change of pace from Atlantic.


But it was so hype.  Literally on Friday evening we had 2 baptisms lined up and my new comp Elder Dunlop asked me if I wanted to baptize them so I said sure.  We start prepping for the baptisms and we get a call from the mom/grandma of the kids that we were baptizing and said that this girl that they had been teaching was 9 and wanted to be baptized so we just hucked her in to the program at the last minute.  Ended up getting three baptisms the very first day I was here in Sioux Falls so already I love this area so much more that Atlantic.


That's really the craziest thing that happened this week.  We did have this guy show up to church on Sunday and we had no idea who he was and we were kinda confused.  We didn't get a chance to talk to him cuz he kinda booked it before the meeting was over but our bishopric was able to catch him and talk to him.  Turns out he had grown up in the church but never got baptized and never got the opportunity to becuase he had been taken from his family when he was younger and from there lost all contact with the church but now he wants to turn his life around and be baptized which is actually so sick.


Anyways that's all that I can think of that happend while I got here but I can't wait to work and be here in Sioux Falls


3 Nephi 9: 14-15


14 Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me. 


15 Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name


This was a scripture that my comp had shared this week and it really stuck with me becuase the lord is always there reaching out to US but we just need to humble ourselves and come unto him to receive eternal life and baptism is quite lit.


Love yall have a great week

Hey yall! Hopw you had a good week and a good 4th.  This week was pretty good. This week was transfer week so things were a little crazy but me and my comp are both staying here in Brookings which is lit, but nothing really to crazy happend with transfers sooooo. But of course we had the 4th of July this week and sadly, cuz this ward is a little wack, no one invited us over for a party or fireworks so we were on our own.  We went to Walmart and bought a cheap charcoal grill and we whipped up some mash potatoes and some steaks. But after that we tried to go and played Frisbee golf and as soon as we started playing the first hole we were getting swarmed by like 40-50+ mosquitos.   Because of that, the second we finished the first hole we booked it back to our car and left and went bowling. Sadly since it was raining no one was really shooting off fireworks but on Friday we started to hear a lot of fire works and we realized it was the city shooting them off so we hopped in ...

Hey yall hope you had a great week! So this week was the last week of the transfer and I was really hoping that I was going to leave.  But unfortunately, I am staying for a 4th transfer here in Brookings.  Now I'm not upset that I get to stay here, I mean I love it here.  But it's only fun as a missionary for like 4 and a half months and then it gets boring.  But I'm excited as well.  We have some awseome people we are teaching who have a lot of potential. This week we had a lesson with our friend Lowless and he is a super cool guy.  He is from Papua New Guinea and he is a such a cool guy.  He is very introverted and very soft spoken so it was kinda hard for him to talk to the members, but he will get more comfortable as he comes more.  But the craziest thing is that he has only been in the US for three weeks.  He is here with some program where he comes to SDSU for school, but hopefully we will be able to set him on date for baptism. Anyways...

How's it going peeps?  I hope y'alls weeks was great!!!   This week was baller we had zone conference so that was swag. Tuesday was just a regular normal day just knocking doors and trying to find some people to teach. Since our area is super big we cover many small little towns and we recently got a referal for this lady next to this one small town called Cumberland. So on this day we decided to go down there to see if we could talk to a few people but it really sucked since literally nobody was home and the lady that we had the referral for said that she didn't want to meet with us yet since she has like issues with her husband so she didn't want us to come over. So the whole like 25-30 minute drive to this small town was all for nothing, so that sucked. Then when we got back we went over to a recent converts house to help him move some stuff in his nasty garage and when i say this garage was nasty is was NASTY so after that, I just ended the night. But on Wednesday n...
