Curry for 3... BANG!

 Alright I've been getting pretty bad writing emails lately. Sorry about that y'all. It's a new transfer though and I have a new companion, Elder Pierson. My old companion, Elder Bell, actually became an assistant to our Mission President so for the last week of my last transfer I just had Elder Bentley-Dyches and it was good times. Elder Pierson and I were trained by the same Elder when we first came in the mission though so that's cool. Times in Bear Creek have been interesting. We meet a lot of people and make new friends a lot, but they are very flaky and our current most progressing friends have been hard to set up times to meet recently. But this last Sunday a woman named Pratibha show up to church with her husband and 2 kids. It was great to see a family a church. They came this Sunday again and they loved it again and plan to keep coming. She is absolutely amazing and even with very different beliefs she has such a great desire to find truth. The missions been great as always and I love the rich people of Redmond haha. Something that's been in my mind for a bit recently is something my first mission president shared when he was leaving the mission. It was the story in the Old Testament, Joshua chapter 4, when Joshua is leading the Israelites across the Jordan River after 40 years in the wilderness searching for the promised land. The Lord parted the Jordan River for them, just like He did for the Red Sea, and they passed over with ark of the covenant. The Lord commanded Joshua to have a man from each of the 12 tribes carry a stone from the river to the other side. These were 12 stones that were used as "a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord..."(Joshua 4:6-7) 

The stones were used to remember the miracle the Lord had performed. I've had many miracles, or "stones" throughout my life. And as I hit a slight final stretch of my mission and look back on those stones that I've journaled or remembered, I am reminded so much of the love the Lord has for me and truthfulness of this message that I carry. I hope to continue to journal and remember the miracles and experiences in my life so I can stand strong in my faith and help others grow there's. There's nothing greater than being a tool in the hands of the Lord to perform and witness these amazing stones. God bless you all and God bless the USA! Love yall keep grinding. Horns Down

  Hello everybody! It's been a good week. We were able to get in contact with multiple friends who we haven't been able to get in contact with for awhile. They all went really well and like I said this areas still promising. We're starting a new team system for members in our ward that should absolutely blow up. It's a great idea and I can't wait to see how it goes. The members are going to be involved so much more now. We also had our friend Luis come to church, which I believe I talked about last week. If you've been out here and know me you know I'm high on Luis. Such a great dude. The people here like always are super fun to talk to. This one guy we talked to had the exact replica of Kiit from knight rider. Which I've never seen but I know what it is and it was used at some event before the movie was released and has David hasslehoffs signature along all the cast and stunt teams signatures. It was pretty dang sweet. Anyways like always I'm keepin...

Crunch Time

  How's it going? Twas a good week. There's two more weeks left in this transfer and I'll most likely be transferred out sadly. It's crunch time here in Victor Falls ward.  Struggled to get in contact with a lot of people but we did have one of our friends the new Luis come to church with us. He really enjoyed the Easter program and said he would love to come next week and in the future. It was a great Easter weekend. Easter is a great holiday to remember our savior and Redeemer Jesus christ. He overcame death through the resurrection and His sacrifice allows us to return to live with our Father in Heaven again someday. Every single person will too be resurrected again and have their bodies perfected. How beautiful this message is and also being able live together with our families further than the good ol til death do us part. Through Christ we can live with our Father again in perfected resurrected bodies and live with our families forever for eternity. The reason for...

  How's it going? This week was great because transfers were last Monday and I'm staying in Victor Falls for another 6 weeks. I'm super excited about that and to be here until May where I can finally see some more sun and mount Rainier. We saw some pretty daggum good miracles this week. One of them is a NEW Luis. Not the old one but one who seriously just randomly showed up as a person in our area Book records a couple weeks ago. He wasn't a referral or anything but we went and visited thinking we just had to have forgotten him or something, but we got there and Luis let us right in and we got to know him and teach him. A couple weeks ago we also did some service for a guy and his family, who lived across the street from a member family. And this week we saw them walking into church unexpectedly, which was super hype. Anyways the week was good and Elder Char and I are still grinding it out in Victor Falls. Still tons of potential here that we feel like we're just on...
