what a great
week!! working on MSU campus while waiting to pick up my boy was great! elder
adams and elder elwood were my temporary companions. they were both from the
salt lake valley, so we were calling ourselves "pure-breads" haha.
the stuff you joke about as a missionary... anyways... we met some really cool
people on campus. it is weird cuz you just kinda ambush people haha. we started
talking to this one girl, and she kinda freaked out. the conversation went
something like this.
me "hey
hows it going!"
her "who
are you?!
me "we're
missionaries!"
her "why
are you stopping me?!"
me "we
wanted to talk to you and get to know you!"
her "why?
who am i?!"
elder adams
"yeah, we are missionaries and we-"
her
"gotta go! goodbye!!"
haha it was
super strange. anyways. got some nice pictures from that.
my new boy is
elder norton. he is from kearns, UT! he graduated the same year i did and is
gonna be great. we are doing some awesome stuff and are just being so blessed
up here!
it hasnt
stopped snowing in pert-near ('Gander for "just about") 3 days! they
had to cancel church on sunday cuz it had snowed so much! haha its crazy. and
its freezing.
Parker said this is his new album cover, "Straight Outta Lansing!"

we had a boss
lesson with the drahers the second day elder norton was here. the Spirit was
palpable in there and they definitely felt it. But they were still hesitant
about baptism. after we left, i KNEW they would talk about what just happened
and that they would commit to baptism. we called them 2 days later to tell them
church was cancelled, and they told us they had talked and decided they wanted
to be baptized! so they are now on date for dec 14. they are amazing and the
Lord has blessed us soo much in this work!
I dont have
much time, sorry! but i am so grateful to be out here and sharing the most
important message these people will ever hear. let’s all be grateful for what
we have, but patiently seek that which will make us better and draw us closer to
our Heavenly Father and Savior. "only the gospel will bring peace and
happiness in this life, and eternal life in the world to come." that is
from elder maxwell i think?
i am so
thankful for the influence you all have had on my life!!
happy
thanksgiving!
