 Monday May 30, 2022 This week was a good week. We are preparing for transfers and for my last transfer I will be getting transferred to a new area. It's crazy how time flies, but I have full intentions of ending strong. I am so grateful for the time I've been able to serve a mission and for the person the Lord has made me to be. This past week we had exchanges and also found many people to teach. We passed off a few people to the family wards as well and still have some to pass off. We are seeing the coolest things with the Book of Mormon. With those that we are teaching we are only reading the Book of Mormon as our lesson plan and helping them have a spiritual experience. When we started doing that they were kind of meh with the lessons, but now they are progressing much faster. As we get them to read their desire to learn increases. The spirit starts to touch their heart and enlighten their minds. The Book of Mormon has real power behind it. It really is the cheat to mission...

 May 24, 2022 This week was a great week. We found many people to teach and had some great miracles. Our friends are progressing somewhat. We are working with many and they are slowly moving along, but nonetheless they are progressing. We had a cool miracle this past week. We were in an apartment complex and we only had 5 minutes before we had to run to a lesson. We saw a young man and knew we had to speak to him. We spoke to him and it turns out that he had spoken to missionaries a few years back. He has the Book of Mormon 1/4 the way through and wants to get back into it. We asked him if he wanted to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and he said yes. That was awesome. It was a pretty cool miracle that we had with him! God is placing people in our path! This was a great week! For the spiritual experience of the week it was during a lesson we had with a friend. Elder Wilding had found someone on his exchanges and he happened to be a YSA in our area. Eld...

 Monday May 16, 2022 This week was really good! We went on a few exchanges and had great experiences. One of our friends is getting closer and closer to baptism. His name is Alex. Our other friend Davide is progressing a lot too. It's crazy because when we first started meeting with Davide he really didn't care much and now we are starting to read the Book of Mormon with him every appointment and he is starting to smile and laugh and just seems brighter. He definitely is being changed by the spirit and by the Book of Mormon. We had many friends come to the Devotional of President Nelson. I hope they had a good experience. It was a great week! For the spiritual experience/miracle of the week it was when I was on exchanges with Elder Medrano. We were walking along a street and noticed a guy at the 2nd story. We spoke with him and eventually started talking about religion. Turns out that in the past missionaries came by and would speak to his girlfriend but he would be in and out....

 Monday May 9, 2022 This past week was great. I feel like Zone Conference went well. It's always fun training the missionaries and seeking revelation for what the mission needs. I have enjoyed my time in doing that. We also had that miracle this week of just walking in an apartment complex late at night. A whole family of 6 was outside and turns out the mom had had book of Mormon reads with missionaries like 10 years ago. Then her son mentioned that he had always wanted to read the Book of Mormon. We then explained to them what it was and they loved it. They ended up setting up a return appointment with us so it was really cool! The spirit was super strong in that moment and we walked away with a huge "drive home feeling". Moments like those are the times that missionary work is the best. It's hard to have those experiences and not know that God is in the details. Overall this past week was good and am excited for the next with all the exchanges coming up! For the spi...

 Monday May 2, 2022 This week has been good! We got a new ward mission leader in one of our wards and he's awesome! We took him out contacting his first week and we had a fantastic lesson with one of our friends and also found someone to teach. He is a very diligent ward mission leader and I am excited to work with him. We have a few friends that are doing well. We got a referral for one man named Alex, and he has a desire to be baptized. He has some hurdles to get through, but his desire is there. We've taught him a few lessons and he's doing well. We had Elder Andersen come and visit our mission on Saturday!! It was so cool. He gave a great talk about working with members but also staying active after the mission. All the Apostles are super funny. You'd think they are just all business, but when they get up there and speak they are funny and they crack jokes all the time. They are all so loving. This week was good! We have Zone conferences this coming week so another ...
