Home MTC

 These few days have been fantastic and I have grown so much closer to the spirit but I have been going a little stir-crazy as I have sat at my desk all day. On Monday I met my MTC companions elder Waite and Elder Prather-Sheridan and we became friends almost immediately which has been great. on Monday I also met my awesome teachers who have taught me a lot over the last couple of days. 

So far the days have been full of classes and workshops and studying. On Wednesday night my comps and I had our first lesson with an investigator. We went into the lesson a little worried about the outcome of the lesson but my experience with the local missionaries kicked in and the spirit was felt and led us on how to teach the lesson. After we got our evaluation back we got way better scores than we thought and let us know we are going to be better teachers then we thought. There have been ups and downs yet it has been more than I thought. 

Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus commands his disciples to "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." This scripture has stuck with me this week and made me think on how I want to be a disciple of Christ and teach the nations of the world.

Hey y’all I hope everyone is doing well. This week has been a little different once again. (Pictures from Tuesday:) To be honest, not much happened on Wednesday, but we did a lot of tracting because we didn't have a lot of lessons planned and we found 8 new people and had a great dinner. Then we came back to our house to clean because we had apartment inspections the next day. We wanted to make sure everything was clean before they came. Not much happened on Thursday, but Friday was my first ever exchange with the zone leaders. I had a really good time learning new things from them because they're really good missionaries. I got to meet a lot of new interesting people, including someone who tried to use star trek to disprove Jesus Christ. I learned a lot from the ZL'S. They taught me great ways to connect with people when you first meet them and how to be more confident in doing the work. Saturday, we had an amazing lesson where we got to teach about the history an...

  What's up, y'all? I hope everything's going well. (Keep scrolling, text and pictures mixed!) Things are going okay for me out here. My last email left me off at the MTC with a couple days left. My last couple days at the MTC were pretty good. Went to the gym, went to my classes and hung out with my MTC district. They are all amazing people that I love and I'm so sad that I don't get to hang out with them every day like I used to.  And of course we had everyone's favorite, general conference which as a missionary is one of the most spiritual impact full things you can do. They had amazing topics.I especially liked the Elder Cook's talk when he talked about the Casper temple here in Wyoming.  On Saturday, in the afternoon between sessions of the general conference, the cafeteria was serving steaks. I got challenged to eat as many as possible. I managed to eat 5 of them, which was a terrible decision because they were all terrible. Sunday was also amazing and...

I ride the range from Casper to Cheyenne (not clickbait)!!!

I'm sorry y'all but email is going to be short and sweet because I for some reason decided to wait until the last minute. Wednesday was our zone meeting where we set our Mission baptisms goal of 100 baptisms!! Which is crazy but Elder Gong of the 12 Apostles promised we would hit that goal which is pretty sweet. That night we drove down to Cheyenne and stayed with the Zone Leaders there. Thursday morning we woke up and went to missionary training so I was able to see Elder Waite and Sheridan and got some awesome training from the mission president and the APs and then drove back to Casper and did some missionary work. Friday was super fun. I got my first on date for baptisms. We stood outside the halfway house and talked to people until the prison guard told us we had to leave which was kind of funny. Saturday was good it started off doing missionary work. That night was Stake Conference so I got to hang out with other missionaries and after the President and his wife...
