Week 14 Clermont

This week was pretty eventful. First off, HAPPY 4th of July! Our freedom and our liberty is often something that goes unnoticed or taken for granted. Without men and women fighting for our freedom, we would not have the ability to share the gospel with everyone we meet. We would not be able to bring others unto Christ.

So last Monday we were getting ready for bed when I saw something on our wall, you'll never guess what it was... A bed bug D: so yep, we now have bed bugs. We left everything there and drove to a different missionaries apartment where we slept the night on the floor. On top of all this, we have to be moved out of that house by the 13th because the lease is ending. It's pretty crazy! Today we went and basically tore the whole place up so that when they spray on Wednesday, all the bugs will die. It is miserable but hey, the work still goes forward.

Wednesday we went over to the Wilton's to take them food because sister Wilton was suppose to have surgery but I guess it's been moved to next week. They are still doing super well! Their house got struck by lighting.

Kasonn got really sick on Sunday so he wasn't able to come to church but he is still doing good. Really need some prayers that he will still be able to make his baptism date!

On Wednesday we also met our new mission President, President Clark. He seems to be really cool! I'm way excited to have him. I'm sure going to miss President Berry though. He was a huge help to me. President Clark is from cottonwood Utah which is right by Salt Lake. He just got back from a mission in New Zeland about a month before he came here.

On Saturday I went on exchanges with an Elder in our district. They have been working super hard to find someone prepared for baptism. As we were riding to an appointment, we got a text from a former investigator in their area saying that they are coming to church Sunday and want to meet tonight. We went over to see them that night and they basically told us they already know this church is true and set their own baptism date for July 30th!! It was crazy! I love seeing miracles. Everything about a mission is a miracle!



1 Year Mark!

Something else crazy happened this week...I hit my year mark! I never would have thought that time could go by so fast. It has been such a privilege to serve with the Lord. I have learned so many things out here. I honestly feel like I could serve a mission for the rest of my life. The experiences you have on a mission are unlike any others you will ever experience in the world. I've been reflecting a bit on this past year and the miracles I have seen. I know that it is only by the hand of the Lord that the things I've seen are possible! I love this work and I am looking forward to this next year! For my year mark we cooked some steaks for lunch and we burned a shirt at the end of the day. It was an awesome time!

Well I love you all and hope you have a great week!
