Hello there Bloakes and Sheilas! Your good ole mate is making his way to Australia! (Most likely) My MTC companion just got his travel plans Sunday and he is leaving May 2nd! How exciting! I am just patiently and anxiously waiting for my travel plans. His flight plans bring him through LA and they certainly won't leave me behind, right?  I wish they could just tell me! But ya know, it's not that easy, I guess! lol. I will jump out of my shoes with joy to see that guy again!  Oh how Iove Elder Nelson! Cross your fingers and toes that we will fly together next week!   This week was just a lot of teaching and finding and we found a family of 7! Hopefully we start teaching them soon! They have met with the missionaries in the past, but they just got really busy I guess. We knocked their door and they were like, "Heck ya! come on back and teach us about Jesus!"  We got in this stupid car accident! Please, whoever is reading this, when you back up your vehicle, look b...

Hello stud muffins! I have heard that they are sending out all the Aussie missionaries May 4th! in 2 weeks! I'm so excited, so pumped, so ready, I can't wait! I hope it's for real, but no official plane ticket yet. This week we had our mission tour! It's when a quorm of the seventy or an apostle comes and speaks to all the missonaries! It's a very cool experience. This mission tour we had Elder Ringwood come speak with his wife. They are awesome and Sister Ringwood's dad is President Nelson! How cool is that!? Something that I really loved that Elder Ringwood pointed out to us was to be like Nephi because his last words in 2 Nephi are, "I must obey, amen". I loved this becasue Nephi was such an amazing young man! He has always been my favorite Book of Mormon prophet because he is " The Greatest Example". He was an amazing example to his brothers, the Gentiles, even his dad.  And why was he a great example? Because he was obedient. The Lord bl...

Hello Friends! This week was not too bad, but nothing too exciting. This week it kinda felt like going through the loop, we knocked doors and did Face Book finding and nothing really has come out of it. But one night, I was thinking about the week, sending in the our week results to my district leader and I saw that it WAS pretty successful! Sometimes Satan like to get in your head and be like, "Oh your not doing any good and this is dumb" when really I've been inviting people to come unto Christ. When I just say that, it kinda doesn't sound too exciting still, but if you think about it, what does God have to offer? He offers, salvation, resurrection, eternal families, prophets, The Book of Mormon, Love, Joy, Peace, Hope, Etc. I could go on and on. I get to share an compelling message with people and teach people about the word of God and his eternal sacrifice. Doing that brings me so much joy even when I feel like everything I'm doing isn't making anything ha...

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great conference weekend! This week I have gotten a new companion, Elder Strauss, "The Animal Whisperer". I have never met someone that loves animals as much as he does, this guy can just speak to them almost. He has many many funny stories about him and animals. Some interesting things he has told me was he has tackled and caught 9 Peacocks on the mission, bruh. And a long time ago, it was towards the beginning of his mission and he caught a peacock and put it in this elders apartment! I have a couple videos that I can share. He is quite the prankster but he is a great missionary as well. I love Elder Strauss he is a beast and just the weirdest goofiest guy ever, love him to death.  We had a very successful week! We have found 3 new people to teach! We are now teaching 14 people! We are very busy but I love it, time goes by really quick and the lord blesses you so much! Hard work brings many Miracles! Alma 26:22 ... " Yea, he that re...
