 Monday March 28, 2022 Hello everyone! How was your week? I hope it was great. My week has been good. We went on a couple exchanges this week with newer missionaries and that was really good. We also were able to take one of our recent converts through the Temple to do baptisms for the dead! It was an awesome experience to do that. We also had Zone Conference this week so that was fun. Our mission President trained on Repentance and his wife trained on the healing power of the Atonement. It was all very good! We had some great lessons this week with a couple people. One is named Davide and he's from Italy and the other is named Cam. Both great guys! We taught them both the Restoration and it went well. They both understood it and liked the things that were taught. They had many questions about many different topics. So Davide is our most progressing guy. He keeps all the commitments and things we ask him to do. Nothing else crazy went on, that's pretty much it! For the spiritua...

 Monday March 21, 2022 Hello everyone! This week went by quick again! We had 3 exchanges and all of them were really good. We had miracles in each of them and I will share one below. Nothing super duper crazy happened. One thing that was really cool was that a member has been bringing his friend to church and now he wants to start taking the missionary lessons! So hopefully that actually goes through and we can start to teach him. Everybody else in our area is doing ok. It's kind of slow. We find tons of people but not too many elect YSA people. The work still moves on and I'm the happiest I've ever been! The church is true. How is everything for you guys? Anything cool going on back home? For the spiritual experience this week it was during my exchange with Elder Hadley. We had a really cool contact with someone. We were making contacts to less actives. We eventually got to one house and knocked on the door and a young man answered. We talked for a little bit and soon came...

 Monday March 14, 2022 This past week was transfers! So a bunch of running around and getting things ready. We had plenty of meetings with new missionaries and trainings and things but it was all spiritual and fun! We still had some success in the area and YSA is doing well. We gave talks in Sacrament meeting along with 3 of our recent converts! It was great. The mission is doing really well and I love it here. Crazy to think my time is up soon :( We had a pretty cool experience this week. We were in an apartment complex and were about to leave. On the way out there was a man sitting and smoking and we decided to go talk to him. Quickly into the conversation it came up that he was catholic and loved God. We quickly referred to the message of the Restoration and spoke about the Book of Mormon. I've never seen someone so interested before. We used the pictures in the front and described what it was about and he was jaw dropped. We got to the part where it shows Christ in the Americas...

 Monday March 7, 2022 Hey everyone! Another good week under the belt! We are super busy this coming week with meetings and were busy this past week with meetings as well. Transfers are tomorrow so we're getting ready for that. Elder Bird and I are going into our 3rd transfer together so that'll be fun! We went on only 1 exchange this week and it was only a lunch and comp study. Everything is going good for me! Still love the mission and it's flying by right now. This transfer ahead will go by especially quick because transfers are on the 14th of April so that'll be crazy. A lot to look forward too! The spiritual experience for the week was during one of my personal studies in the Book of Mormon. I was reading in Mosiah 27 about Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah. Their story reminded me of a lot of how my life was. Not that I was a horrible sinner or anything, but I didn't do the things that I should've done. But I love the scripture on there that says ...

 Monday March 1st, 2022 This past week was really good! We went on 4 exchanges again this week and they were all solid Elders. We do like infinite exchanges. We go on exchanges everyday basically so Elder Bird and I only ever see each other at night and sometimes in the morning. We will stay together for another transfer making it 3 transfers total together. It's crazy its March already! Time has just flown by and will continue to fly by. We're grinding all day everyday and it's a blur. But I'm loving the missionary life and would not want to do anything else than this!  For the spiritual experience for the week it was during a lesson with our recent convert Ethan. He has been struggling recently spiritually and so we met with to talk about the concerns he had. They were nothing big and nothing that couldn't be answered by simply testifying of the Book of Mormon. So we testified and also at one point in the lesson reminded him of the testimony that he has. During th...
