Week 65: Hey y'all!


So this last week we had baptisms!!

Tyisha! Tyonna! And Aja!

They are super awesome and love the gospel!
Elder Norton baptized Tyonna and Aja, the two daughters and I baptized Tyisha!
Their baptism was awesome and the spirit was so strong!

The rest of the week was good, we were mainly finding a lot, we did go and help out a member with his Halloween stuff and helped him make one of the young men in the ward a costume and that was really fun. 

The big hight light of the week was the baptism and it was awesome haha.

I don't really have anything else from this week.
The new area is good, the branch is awesome. 

If you want to talk or ask questions email me haha 

Have an awesome week! Thank y'all for the support.
I love you all!

Week 64: Hey y'all!


So I got to New Portage and it is a great area. It is actually a branch so not as many members here as in past areas but that is not bad at all.

I've been able to teach some of the people that the Elders have been teaching and they are awesome! 3 of them, a family, are actually getting baptized this week so that is cool and exciting!

The other fun news is I don't live in an apartment, I actually live in a normal house... The adjustment has been super weird 😂 😂

My new companions name is Elder Norton and the fun thing is I am his greenie breaker! So he is in his 3rd transfer in the Mission, just out of training.

We also had stake conference this last week which was weird! Because the last Stake Conference was my first week in Wooster! So it has been 6 months since I got to Wooster! 

I got to see a few members from the Wooster ward and catch up with them so that was awesome!! 
So that was my short week, I wrote more than I did about my long week😅🙃

I guess it makes up for it. 

I hope yall have a good week! Thank you for y'all support!!!

Week 63: Hey y'all!

So it's transfer week and I am getting transfered! I get to go up to New Portage! I don't really know much about the area so I can get that to you next time!

This past week was really weird, we were just on the bus so much! Between going to the church and just a lot of travel time.
I don't actually remember a lot from this past week, its getting colder so fall is finally getting here. 
That's really all the updates I have.

So I'll try to have more next week haha

Week 62: "I'm going on an Adventure!!"


So this past week was awesome!

First, we had interviews with President Stratford and Sister Stratford, those are always a good experience.

Then we got a self referral for a guy named Mike and he is super awesome!! He straight up said he wants to be baptized and be a member of the Church and he is already reading the Book of Mormon. He was able to watch all 4 sessions of General Conference with us and he said he loved it! The sad thing is we found out he is 20 so we are handing him off to the OSU Elders but it is still super awesome!!!

General Conference was absolutely amazing!!

I loved Elder Uchtdorfs comparison of the Premortal life and the Hobbit😂

My favorite talk came from Peter M. Johnson, he had such a powerful talk about Satan's 3 D's, Deception, Distraction and Discouragement, and his 4 ways of helping protect from these. 
1. Love God with all your Heart, Might, Mind and Strength. 2. Pray to the Father everyday through His son Jesus Christ with all the energy of your heart. 3. Read and study the Book of Mormon everyday, this one I know is true because I have truly grown to love th Book of Mormon greatly. 4. Prayerfully partake of the Sacrament.

When this General Conference comes out on Gospel Library this will be the first talk I go back and read because I wrote a lot down about it and took notes but I didnt get everything I wanted down 😂😂
I hope you all of a great week!!

Love ya!!
