 Monday Oct 25, 2021 This week has also been very good! We were able to go to the Temple multiple times with some of our friends and less actives. David is going well for his date for baptism on the 27th of November. We brought him through the Temple and he said it was very powerful. He had an amazing experience in there. It was good for him to feel the spirit and love of God in great abundance.  The same day after his tour we had a General Authority 70 fellowship him. There's a member in our ward who has made a good friendship with Elder Giuffra who spoke in this past Conference, and he was in the area so he came with us to one of our lessons. It was amazing to see Elder Giuffra talk with David and just express his and Heavenly Father's love for him. He gave David a blessing and after the blessing David shook Elder Giuffra's hand and said "you are a man of Christ". The spirit was so strong in the room. It was amazing to witness that and just be a part of it. I ha...

 Monday October 18, 2021 This week was once again super good. We had a lot of lessons. In fact the most lessons I've ever had in a week. Our mission President invited the mission this past week to pray in every contact and over the phone. It was cool because in all 52 lessons we said a prayer in everyone one of them. Saying a prayer at the end of lessons is awesome. It brings a special spirit and helps us connect with people a lot more. We are literally standing there with them or on the phone with them and pouring out our souls to God to bless them and its so cool. We should've done that before the invitation to do so haha. I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with Elder Palmer and I'm very impressed with him. He's been out in the mission for about 3 weeks. He is an awesome Elder. We were able to work on talking with everyone and ended up finding someone as we studied at the park. He was so happy and I was happy to spend the day with him. He honestly is a great Eld...

 Monday October 11, 2021 This week has been amazing. We have been so busy. These wards are actually insane with missionary work. They all are willing to do it and reach out to their neighbors. It's amazing! We were able to find many people again at the parks and that seems to be working for us very well. I was able to go on exchanges with 2 Elders this week that went very well. I went on exchanges first with Elder Duke and it was great! He's a great Elder and we're sad to lose him. He has fantastic motivations and focus. Definitely something I was impressed by. Being diligent in missionary work or even being diligent in spiritual matters is so important in being completely converted to the Lord. Have no other focuses and no other things distracting you from the Lord's work is when you will see yourself change. Anyways back to the exchange it was great! We were working a lot on being bold with people and not holding back. If someone told us they were not interested we wo...

 Monday Oct 4, 2021 This week was a great week for us! We were super busy and all over the place it felt like. We found 2 people on Facebook a little bit ago and we were able to have a phone call with one and a messenger face call with the other. Both lessons we taught the Restoration and they were great. They both had never heard of the Book of Mormon or of Joseph Smith. One of the ladies was named Irene and we asked her how she felt about all of this. We pointed it out to her that that was the spirit confirming to her that this message is true. She wanted a Book of Mormon and so we referred her to missionaries over in Texas. It was a great lesson. The other Facebook lady was really good too, but eventually she blocked us and we don't know why but hopefully she comes around. This week I had the priveledge of going on exchanges with Elder Hoagland and it was great! We had 7 lessons and were able to have good contact with some less actives and others. We were trying to find a house ...
