Well then

Highlights:

- We got back in contact with an old investigator Oscar and we are teaching him again and he came to church. What a miracle. 

- We had an awesome YSA activity. It was a hog roast. We had 150 people there and 1 of our investigators came and brought his roommates whom we'll probably start teaching.

- I get to go to the Ft Collins temple this week. I'm looking forward to that.

- We were able to be guided to some cool people who are prepared and find them right before the Jehovah Wittneses did.

The son of the living God

Monday, June 18th

Highlights:

- Sadly many of our appointments with people canceled or bailed out.

- But we found some people this week that are really prepared for the restored gospel and now we need to see if they'll accept it.

- We had zone conference and that was pretty good, aside from me conducting it and giving a departing testimony.

-  It was really hot last week, but it will be nice and cool this week. 😂

Take care!

Heat of the Moment

Highlights:

- Tori, Rony, and Megan got baptized in Peoria ward.

- We just started teaching a bunch of people here in our wards. So that's pretty exciting.

- It's been really hot here. It'll probably hit 100 pretty soon.

Bear one another's burdens

Later!

Naked Chicken Chalupa

Highlights:

- On Saturday we decided to have 100 gospel conversations with people. So we went all day and skipped dinner (nobody signed up that day) and we got to 100 at 8:50pm and then we went to taco bell and ate naked chicken chalupas AND a member came in and paid for us. It was a good day. We had lots of good conversations and got many potential investigators and people who said we can come by again.

- Carolyn backed out again and said she wasn't ready. Oh well, we'll keep working with her.

- We had a Missionary Leadership Council (MLC) and we got a preview of five missionaries from our mission touring the mission putting on a musical performance called "Meet the Elders". It's pretty funny and really awesome. It's like a pre-show for the Book of Mormon musical that is coming to Denver this month.

Prepare to meet God

Answers to some questions I asked Elder Wheelwright:

We are out in the country a lot, And that truck is our mission vehicle, and it's pretty nice.  We're in a trio for the whole transfer, and the zone leader thing is whatever.  It's not much different from what I was doing to before.

Double time now go!

Tuesday,   May 29th


Highlights:

- So my fate ended up being Brighton Stake. I'm serving in the Ft. Lupton ward and Northridge YSA branch. Ft. Lupton covers a handful of tiny towns spread out in the country, and the ysa covers 2 stakes.

- My companions are Elder Draper (Riverside CA) and Elder Charpentier (Austin TX). A trio. It's been pretty fun.

- We should be having someone baptized this saturday if all goes well. Carolyn is facing a lot of opposition so pray for her. 

- Happy Memorial day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope y'all had a good mother's day, especially all you women out there.

Some highlights of the week:

- We had mother's Day and got to talk to family ☺

- We had interviews with President Savage, which are always good.

- We met with Elizabeth, Junior, Kelvin and Gloria. They are all doing good and we taught them about prophets and Jesus Christ and the great apostasy. The kids are really starting to enjoy church and mutual now. We're working on getting the parents more on board.

- We met with most our other investigators as well. We dropped a couple of them. But the rest are doing really well.

He is the Living Water

Have a wonderful week!

Welcome to the internet

Highlights:

- We had a good zone conference. Those are always fun.

- We had our followup appointment with the Ansah family that we talked to last week. They like us coming over and their kids are the most interested in the gospel. Three of the kids came to church on Sunday. So far only the parents and two of the kids are investigators now.

- We got to know a really awesome part-member family that have come back to church recently. The two girls (9 and 11) are really excited to learn about the gospel. 

- We visited our investigators Kayla and Maddy with President and Sister Savage and Elder Nattress of the 70. It was a really good visit for them.

- 7 of our investigators came to church.

- We had a pass off lesson for a Megan that lives in our area. She is really cool and loves the gospel.

- We'll officially be getting smartphones on Wednesday, so you may or may not see me on facebook.

God Bless you.

In answer to questions I asked:

"The spring here cannot make up it's mind. We get some nice weather, and then it snows, and then nice weather, and then cold. That is typical Colorado.​

Things are going really awesome here. We had a big run of those firesides all around the mission, but the most recent one was the last until winter or next year. And sister Rice is the best."
