 Monday February 22, 2021 This is going to be a mega short email and it's ok. This week has been great! We had a ton of lessons and we are still working with a lot of members. Tomorrow I get my trainee! I'm super excited to getting back to doing everything with exact obedience and really actively trying to find new people. We did get a couple referrals this week so we are excited to start talking with them. Elder Woodruff went home Saturday so big rip. I'm going to miss the guy but I wish him the best in his next part of life. I'm probably going to stay in this area until I head out to Argentina I'm betting. The members here are super cool so I'm happy to get to know them really well. Nothing really else to report on. I got a bunch more pictures so you're welcome.  Pics:  Bunch of stuff going on here. I found a random cat in a parking lot and he was super cool so we took a bunch of pictures with him. Our President took us out to dinner because Elder Woodruff...

 Monday February 15, 2021 Hey Everyone! How are you guys doing. Things have been getting better out here. Me and Elder Woodruff are doing better as a companionship and going out more. This is his last week as a missionary and so hopefully he doesn't get too trunky. But we have set up quite a bit of lessons so we should be doing just fine!  This last week we had interviews with our President and he informed me that I will be training a new missionary! I'm super excited because now I can raise my "child" up in righteousness and show him how missionary work is done. I want to give him the best training ever so it can cement and put in place the right mindset for the rest of his mission. I'm excited to meet him next week! I'm also excited to be the Senior companion now so I can really take over and be bold with more people. I find that a lot of missionaries beat around the bush and let the investigators run the conversation and let them get off track. Nope, not an...

 Monday February 8, 2021 Hello everyone! This will be a short email because I don't have much time today.  This week has been good. Nothing much has changed. We are still doing a ton of member work and trying to get referrals. We have one investigator and her name is Sue. I have met her once because she has had Covid for the last 2 weeks. She's really nice, but I hope she's actually interested. We work with some inactive people and that's about it. There's nothing crazy about what we're doing, just waiting for the miracles to come in! Yesterday we went by a lady named Patty and I guess the missionaries have been going over for a while, but she only believes in the Bible so it's basically pointless. Anyways we get there and she was super excited to see us. She invited us in and sits us down and brings out WORKSHEETS. Literal bible worksheets with scriptures and questions and everything. We sat down for like and hour and a half and talked about a bunch of stuf...

 Monday February 1, 2021 Hello everyone!! How has your week been? I've been doing swell out here! This week we had Zone Conference and it was awesome!! Zone Conference is basically relatable to the NFC or AFC championship games, then the super bowl of course is General Conference. We focused a lot on Joseph Smith this time around. Our President told us to come in prepared to think of when we gained our testimony of Joseph Smith and he spoke more about him there. He had us all pray to have another confirmation, and then he showed us a video of Joseph Smith. The spirit was so strong as we did that and the spirit couldn't be denied. During his talk he quoted an email from a missionary he got. And the quote was from me. I was shook when he shared it. He didn't say who it was from or anything, he just read it. I'll share with you guys what I said. This was in one of my weekly emails to President.  "For the spiritual experience this week, it was when we taught the Restor...
