Alright Alright Alright

 Howdy howdy yall hope it's been going well. Sorry it's been a few weeks but I've been in my new area in Kent for 3 weeks now. The ward is great and loving doing missionary work with us. Our teaching pool is a different story. We had some good things going for a second and had a friend named Imelda committed to being baptized in a couple weeks, but this last week she ended up dropping us and a lot of other things happened with other friends. So, we are starting from scratch and gonna go on an all out find grind here in downtown Kent. I'm excited and got a lot of faith, no doubt there's gonna be some sweet miracles coming soon. My new greenie is pretty great too, we get along well and he's very gun ho about things and is actually 23 years old so the elder knows life and has a solid testimony. Last Saturday, I was able to go a baptism for my friend Luis who I taught when I served in Victor Falls in the Claw. It was great seeing some of ward members again and Luis and also to be apart of his journey to making his first covenant with God. The best thing no doubt about the mission is seeing people before and after their conversion to Jesus christ and accepting his Gospel. We had to let go of a few friends these past couple weeks because of things that they weren't willing to sacrifice to change themselves to be more like Christ. It hurts to witness no doubt, but for those who accept the restored gospel there brings no greater joy than watching their nature's change and their hearts be pure. How grateful I am to be a missionary and witness 2nd hand the gospel of Jesus christ come alive in the lives of others and bring them so much happiness. I love in the Book of Mormon all throughout we see when a group of people live the gospel and are humble and repentant , there's peace throughout all the land until they become prideful and unrepentant again. Their lives are filled peace and joy as they repent of their iniquities, because they change their lives to be more christlike. The Gospel is about our effort and us striving to change and follow christ. So I got a profound invite for everyone: Live the Gospel of Jesus Christ daggumit! Love yall and keep grinding. Keep the Devil Horns Down and do no evil.

  Howdy howdy everyone. Its been a crazy couple weeks here in Auburn. This last week alone we had 4 people commit to a baptismal date. We've been receiving miracle after miracle from the Lord. And this is most healthy I've been in my life. I've eaten more salad these last 3 weeks alone than I have in my life. And I've been going 3 months strong on a soda fast and just started up a fast food fast. Yes, I know the old Elder Plumb is gone but never forgotten. Anyways with one our friends were teaching named Anthony, has truly, truly changed through Jesus Christ. I have literally seen him in the very lows of the life to no longer heeding ungodliness. He's a stud and is even sharing the gospel with his other friends. The Prophet of God, Russell M. Nelson gave a talk about Overcoming the world. To those who are worldly, (and yes, I'm calling you out) and don't understand what being worldly is, it means to put the things of the world over our relationship with our ...

  What's going on everyone? Hope y'all been doing well. This was probably one of my favorite weeks of the mission so far. Just filled with miracle after miracle from the hands of the Lord. Our friend Alan was baptized this week and his family will soon follow as well. We also have so many new people just from this week who were planning to help grow their faith and be baptized as well. We've recently started exercising more faith in getting members involved in missionary work and it's been great to see. It's amazing to see the power that faith can work. Two Sundays ago I had the privilege to give a talk in church about faith and shared this quote from President Eldon Tanner  "In addition to a belief in the existence of God, we must know something of his character and attributes or our faith will be imperfect and unfruitful. Faith will avail us nothing unless it is based on true principles. This is illustrated in a story I have told before about the meeting of t...

Oh...My...Goodness!

 Sorry everyone I realize I haven't sent an email in like 3 weeks. And a lot has changed. I got the good ol 6 weeks and out in Kent and am now in Auburn, in the Mill Pond Ward and am training again. I had a great time in Kent in the Pine Tree ward with Elder Wilson but sadly the dynasty has come to an end. Which is unfortunate because we just swiped our teaching pool and had like 3  people who were now ready to be baptized so I won't be able to see them make their first covenant with God but I'm glad I was able to help them with it. But I've been in Auburn for 2 weeks and just wow. This place is amazing. Elder Thompson is my new greenies name and he's got some fire to his 6'5" frame. He's very ready for missionary work. We're opening this ward together because it was being double covered the last 12 weeks by Elders who also covered a Spanish area. So they said they put a lot more focus on their Spanish work. So the first week was just a straight fin...
