Go Chiefs!!!!

Well....This was a good week! The chiefs won the super bowl! I was super sad that I could not watch the game, but I am so happy either way. Everyone around me is 49ers fans so I'm the only one happy in my area. This week was not just happy feeling though, it was full of all sorts of feelings.


I had to say good bye to all of my District and friends in the MTC. Super sad to say good bye but in the end, we are all where we are supposed to be. 


When I arrived in Sacramento California, I was immedietly greated by my mission president and the zone leaders! They are all super awesome and Sacramento is amazing. But I do not get to experience it. I currently am typing in a cabbin. Me and my companion, Elder Bartholomew who is awesome!, got thrown into a area where they have not had missionaries in years! Its called George Town and its way up in the mountains. The members here are so excited that we are here and I have not had to worry about making dinner a single night.


I live in the middle of the woods in the mountains while driving the best ride in the the mission. A Toyota Tacoma. I feel like I am camping everyday and it is truly CRAZY that I am out here. The roads are crazy, I spend alot of time driving on dirt muddy roads. Also the member that we are staying with is awesome. He asked us if we were liberal, obviously I said no, and he told us that Liberals can not stay in his cabbin. This made my day. The first day was crazy, I did not even get time to unpack or call my parents becasue there was so many meetings and things to do.


My companion is awesome and he is a great trainer. We get along well and he is super obedient and spiritual.


We already have one possibly two people on date to get baptized on Feburary 25th. Although there were no missionaries assinged to this area, the zone leaders got permission to teach some people here and me and my companion have taken over the lessons since we got assigned here.


I had a cool experience happen on monday. I was talking to a member who is going through a lot. I gave her a preisthood blessing and it immedietly changed her countainance and her attitude and there was so much joy in her eyes when we left. When we left she was crying and truly happy that we came and visted her. I know that preisthood blessings are from God and that what I said, was not my words, but Gods. I have truly learnred what it means to have your mouth filled by God when you teach by the spirit.


This week has been amazing and I can not wait to see what happens this next week. Catch you guys next weak. PEACE!!!


Also I cant have facebook or reply to texts on messenger in my missoin. SO EMAIL ME PLEASE I'D LOVE TO TALK TO YOU ALL!

Shellom y'all, This has propbably been the most busy and chaiotic week of my mission yet. Between training a new elder, managing 20+ people being taught, 40+ potentials who could be taught, two wards I'm brand new to, high maintainance barely active members, and much more, I have been swamped with things to do. It has been insane! My very first day of the transfer in the Ashton park ward, a person they were teaching called and says she wants to be baptized! LETS GO THAT IS HYPE...however, this has caused so many problems. She has lots of questions and does not want to follow the commandments in the word of wisdom so we cant really baptized her yet. Since then, she has been looking into much anti about our church and wont stop sending it to us. It has been crazy!  Something funny, we went to a mental hospital to visit an inactive member. It was his birthday. He is also skitzafrenic or however you spell it. He asked how our sunday was, we told him that we had 6 hours of church be...
