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 president recently informed us that we will no longer be tracting, or going to door to door anymore in our mission. Crazy stuff but it gives us a great opportunity to be more involved in the community of Kent and serve people in different ways. At first I wasn't super up for the new change but recognized it was a great opportunity to grow and meet people that I wouldn't normally be able to meet using door to door as my main source of finding. So it'll be interesting but super fun in the process. Our mission president compared it to a football team doesnt just run the ball ever play. If its 3rd and 7 they look to their playbook for a 3rd and 7 situation play. So of course as one would, I bought a coach wristband(the one quarterbacks wear) for fun. Gonna be looking to our "finding playbook" for different situational finding methods. It'll definitely involve a lot of trial and error which only helps us improve if we let it. I'm grateful for the challenges I receive in life. When we get comfortable in life we can easily become complacent instead of pushing ourselves to improve more and more. Just when things got comfortable for me on my mission it's time to add a challenge to help me grow and be an even better missionary when I come home from my mission. Another thing that happened though is our mission went to a mariners game! It was hype. I love sports and definitely missed going crazy during sporting events. No doubt a night to remember. I'm excited to continue the work in Kent and keep grinding. Can't complain I'm doing the Lord's work. Time to take the offensive. God bless and God bless America. Horns Down

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...

  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...
