Last Dance

  Welp this is the last transfer of my mission. I got a new companion named Elder Wallace who's another new missionary and I'm still with Elder Godfrey so I'm finishing training elder Godfrey while training elder Wallace too. So... yeah a good 6 weeks to finish strong is a good way to look at it. Still in the Alki Young single adult congregation. Love the Tongans and Samoans here they're Hype. I've been getting into the Tongan lingo a little bit. We've been playing lots of basketball with them to introduce ourselves to some of their friends and it's been super fun. A lot of our door is finding, a constant grind of contacting and I'm able to speak a little Spanish to people and teach about the Book of Mormon, so we end just referring half the people we talk to to the Spanish missionaries. It's fun though I always love going around talking to others and testifying of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. Recently I've been thinking about my own pers...

God Does Bless the USA

  What's up? It's been a month since my last email. Starring to see a pattern here. Hope everyone's been great! I got transferred to Seattle Stake. It covers a few big cities Burien, Des Moines, West Seattle, and has the international Airport here so we see planes all the time, kind of cool get some good views of plans flying in and out. I'm in the Alki YSA branch. It's still young single adult. I'm training a 6'7" Elder named Elder Godfrey. He's a Bigfoot. He's been great as well and we get along. We came into the area with no one to teach but we're loaded with miracles. Our friend Shiloh, just Google a church to go and found ours. She has no background with Christianity so start from scratch on who God is and seeing someone come to Him. We also have 2 member referral friends to teach as well. So it's been great. The Branch is super fun. It's 80% Tongan and Samoan and they're a Vibe. It's been great having the opportunity to...

  What's up everyone? Hope it's been great for yall. I'm still rolling Tide in Kent! Elder Lee is still my companion and we're actually training a new elder, Elder Arrington. He's a baller us three get along well. It's been hot lately but can't complain because it's either hot or rainy and cloudy. It's definitely very beautiful when it's sunny too so it's great. Our friend Victor got baptized as well two weeks ago which was hype! He's been awesome! What a journey for him, he originally met with missionaries to learn English in Romania where he's from and now he's finally accepting the restored gospel of Christ here. You truly never know the good that you do. We've seen some amazing miracles happen as we focus on being more spirit led in our work. This last Saturday night, we had multiple plans fall through and our 6:30pm to 9 was "wide open spaces"- Dixie Chick's. So we turned to our greenie who spotted a complex...

Mariners and Coaching time

 I guess it's been a couple weeks that's my bad! There's a lot to catch up on. I'm back with my old companion from Colorado, Elder Votava. YSA or the young single adult congregation has been different but super fun still! We helped our friend Cadence make a covenant with God and be baptized! That was awesome and shes super chill and even with a crazy living situation decided to be baptized, because she said she knew it was true and couldn't deny it. We're planning to go to the temple with her this week! So it's been good, you get to meet some super awesome people in the ward. We've been grinding it out. It's nice being in Kent and the weather being warm. We just contact people for days, and it's a ton of fun. You get to meet some great people and make a lot of friends. It's great just talking to people about their lives and hobbies and transitioning that to Jesus Christ and being able to bear testimony of Him as our Savior. Our mission presid...

Rally The Valley to the King of Kent

  Howdy y'all! It's been a good few weeks. The work slowed down a slight bit as far as who we are teaching. Pratibha has continued to come to church and she bore her testimony this past Sunday. It was pretty dang good, she recited the Lord's prayer!!! Absolute baller. She goes to India for the whole month of April which is unfortunate but she's been absolutely awesome so far. We got back in contact with our friend Abhi and invited him to be baptized. He's currently praying on it, but sadly I'll be getting transferred out of the Valley. My time is done in the North. I'm going back to the south to an old zone I was in, Kent! I'm in a congregation that's only young single adults so ages 18 to 30. It'll be a very cool experience and I'm back with my old companion who I was with in star Lake, the Elder Bryton Votava! We're both super excited for this transfer. There's some baller missionaries in our Zone too that we're excited to work ...
