Elder Jesse Plumb - Washington Seattle Mission 10/2021 - 10/2023

  How's it going y'all? This was an exhausting week, we just had a lot of meetings and events towards the tail end of it that made our work feel less effective. Many great spiritual experiences though no doubt. One of those events was the temple which was peaceful break midweek to relieve some stress. Our friend Cormac also ended up being baptized this last weekend, which ended it on a high note. I think a big thing I took away from this week is, in pressure packed moments, I can choose to be a victim and let my situation get the best of me and lose a growth opportunity. Or I can choose to be a victor and overcome whatever circumstance I'm in through Christ and take opposition as an opportunity to be strengthened. If you know me, a passion I have is sports. The most dominant quarterbacks, basketball players, coaches, etc, are calm, cool, and collected in pressure filled situations. They choose to not let their circumstance defeat and overpower them. And they seize the momen...

  Hey yall! It's some good times here in Auburn. Apparently we had the worst air quality in the world at one point this past week because of the smoke from the fires up here. But thankfully it's been raining, but that means the 9 months of no sun is back. This week was also the start of a new transfer and I got a new elder to train again. Elder Thompson got put in Spanish work and my new elder is Elder Butler. Its been a fun first week with him and I'm glad to be staying in the Mill Pond Ward as well. This week, our friend Cormac is planning to get baptized, which is super exciting. Our whole zone has been absolutely popping off right now as well and there's been tons of hype for the work. The Lord's work is moving forward and ain't gonna lie there's been some neat persecution these last couple weeks. It's always great to watch others yell and scream at me and claim I worship the devil and they worship the true christ as I stand their smiling and respect...

  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 ...
