Door to Door Salesman

  Hello everybody! Another week has gone by, and they are flying already. It's only been about a month but it's been a great time. So much fun always, even when we're super busy and working hard it's still a good time. 


This week has been a lot of working, nothing too exciting went on this week, but we had a district council which was fun. Got together and had some talk about our friends and what our goals are. Then we had lunch all together and had some fire nachos that we made. I'm already missing Mexican food so much. There's none here and that's probably what I miss the most. A good ol' burrito would be the best thing ever. 

We mostly did a bunch of door knocking this week, for hours and hours. Which is actually fun cuz you're pretty much just hanging out with my epic companion and inviting people to hear about our wonderful savior Jesus Christ. The acceptance rate is not high, but those who do are eager to hear so its fun. Even when we do get rejected they are almost always polite about it, which I appreciate. I've learned that even when we get denied, still love it. Love the work and enjoy every single moment, even when it kind of sucks. 

We also do things called exchanges, which mean I go and switch sports with an Elder in another area. So I spent a day in another area with another Elder and it was fun to mix it up. 

Our friends are somewhat progressing, one kind of dropped off of the face of the Earth, but hey that happens sometimes. And the other one that got baptized is now wanting to go to institute, which is amazing cuz I didn't even do that. 

Today we were able to go on a P-day adventure, we went and hiked up on a mountain and explored that area for a while. It was super beautiful, and we saw some Kookaburras. There were signs that said it was a Koala area, but sadly we did not see any. So that was lame but it was still cool to go and see. There's an Elder who's family is originally from this area, so we were able to go and see his grandma and share a spiritual thought which was so fun. She was super sweet and it was almost (not quite) but almost like seeing some family. 

I love you all and miss you so much, sorry this email is kinda lame. I had to type it later cuz we were out adventuring all day. I miss you all and hope to hear from you, let me know if any of you need anything. And sorry if I spaced replying to you, just know I read them all and appreciate them.

Much love from the land down undah,

La MTC está muy bien!

Buenos dias mi Familia! La MTC esta bien! I've been picking up Spanish cuz we've been hanging out with a lot with a neighbor district who all are speaking Spanish. So that's been awesome, I'm basically fluent now. But on the real, the MTC has been incredible for the 2.5 short days I've been here. And I'm so excited for the next two weeks. I am also extremely grateful that I'm not here for 11 weeks like the Mongolian missions. Don't get me wrong, I love it here, but that would be gnarly.  This week has been a good one for sure. I officially left Hawaii and came to the good ol land of Provo Utah. It's cold. My recently developed Hawaiian-ness has made me weak to these harsh conditions. I feel like I'm fighting for my life in the Yukon tundra out here. 55° is coooooold lemme tell you🥶 however the mountains are so beautiful and it's been amazing. Reminds me how much I truly love theRrocky Mountains. What a beautiful creation our lord has given u...

First Day!

  Aloha all my friends and family!  Today I have officially completed my mission, IM DONE, HOORAY I DID IT! Just kidding, it's only the first of many many amazing days to come. I am having an absolute blast and the real deal hasn't even begun. Today I got to meet with my MTC district and companion for the first time, and let me just say they are incredible. I can tell through their tiny little squares on the zoom that they have such strong testimonies and are just itching to get out and serve the Lord. My companion is Elder Turner. He's from Southern California, and is already such an inspiration to me. He has such a passion for the gospel and I know he'll do great things. He is actually going to the same mission as me which is neat! Hopefully I'll get to spend some time with him out there as me.   The first day of waking up at the butt quack of dawn was a little rough but not bad at all, however the 8 hours of zoom was a little bit devious. However I ...

Kangaroos, Blessings, New Friends, and the Works

 What is up party people,  This week has probably been one of the best so far, despite a few setbacks. We were able to do so much missionary work, but also lots of super fun and very spiritual things happened. First off, on Tuesday, we had zone conference. So just about half of the mission got together and had some skill training, and lunch all together. It was pretty fun and we were able to learn some valuable missionary skills, which is always appreciated. It did feel like a long day, which it was, but hey. It was still a good day.  The next day we just had some normal finding and teaching, but in the evening, we got a call from the sisters nearby. They said they needed us to run and give someone they knew a priesthood blessing. We ended up going to a children's hospital in our area and giving a tiny baby in critical condition a blessing. It was so sad, but extremely powerful. It was such a good but sad experience. Hopefully all works out well for their family, please p...
