One Year Mark


Well hello! K so this week has been crazy, there was an ET and I got moved! Crazy huh so I’m now serving in Lakewood, Colorado. It’s not too far from where I was before, it’s like 20 mins from my old area, so it’s just outside of Denver. I’m in the Lakewood ward on the west side. There are two sets of missionaries in the ward. My new companion is Elder McMullin, he is a cool guy. I was actually his district leader out in Grand Junction, so I already know him pretty good, he is cool. So ya crazy stuff, they called me Monday night at like 8 and said you’re moving, pack your things, we will get you in the morning. lol So that was a fun and hectic night. But it is all figured out now so that’s good. I live with a member again, he is an older man, Bro D, he lives by himself but he seems nice.

So today we get to go to a Rockies game so that will be fun.

Anyways ya tomorrow I hit my year mark. That is so crazy, it’s weird. It feels like I have only been out a few months, but at the same time it feels like I’ve been a missionary forever. Over the past year I feel like I have learned a lot. My knowledge of the doctrine has increased so much. Before my mission I had a basic understanding of the gospel and knew it was true but now after learning so much, bearing testimony so frequently and feeling the spirit daily I know that the Lord leads this church and sits at the head of it and that we truly do have prophets in the these days. It has been a great experience thus far. It has been hard, it’s not all a vacation. Some days it is really tough to keep going but then the Lord blesses you and answers your prayers and helps you through the day leaving me stronger than the previous day. I know this church is true and I love teaching everyone I come in contact with about it.

I love you all. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Have a good week :)
