Mtn Dew Heaven!

Dear All Of you from near and far! 

I think one day before I go home I will run out of creative ways to start these emails....lets pray that doesn't happen :) No one likes a boring email haha

This week was a pretty good week! Elder Wankier and I are having a lot of fun and we are also working hard! I have to tell you a story real quick that happened to us on Tuesday Morning. It does deal with why the title of this email is the way it is. 

Tuesday Morning, we were getting ready and waiting for a guy named Pastor Yost to come pick us up so that we could help him at his food pantry at his church. Now Quick back ground on Pastor Yost, He is a Lutheran Pastor at a church in our area, missionaries met him, he started taking the lessons and is not currently being taught by our Zone Leaders because he lives in their area. So in short, he loves having us help him whenever we can with service and what not. We get a text from him saying, "Hey boys, I have your Mt. Dew Fix for the Week in the back of my car if you wanna come out and get it." Elder Wankier and Look at one another and are like, "DUDE! SICK!!!" We went out to his car and gave him a hug, and then he opened his trunk and there sitting in the back of his car are 9 twelve packs of Mt. Dew for Elder Wankier and I ....0.0 We just about passed out in the parking lot seeing this! haha We then carried it upstairs to our fridge and stuffed our fridge with all of it! haha We also have two 2 liters of Mt. Dew in our fridge now as well. They are also from Pastor Yost who calls the 2 liters our "I.V's" haha yeah this guy is my hero he rocks my socks! haha you will pleased to know that as of today we have drinkin about 2 and a half twelve packs together with in the last 5-6 days haha :D

Other than that things have been the same old same old! My companions Birthday was on Saturday and we totally forgot about it. ( i know sad right?) until we got a text from the Assistants saying "Happy Birthday Elder Wankier!" Then we were like, oh yeah, hmmm thats cool you want another Mt. Dew? haha yeah we are awesome and partying it up here in Liverpool! Hope everyone else had a sweet week! I miss Partying with so many of you through out my mission and you back home as well!

'Cusen It... Take 3!

WHY HEEELLLOOO!!!! (mrs. doubtfire's voice) 

As you know last week was transfer week and I am now in Liverpool New York! I am back in Syracuse for the 3rd time. There must be something or someone here that I keep avoiding and have to keep coming back for. But I have feeling that this might be my last stop on my mission, since my new companion Elder Wankier goes home at the end of this transfer, so I will have a new companion next transfer for sure! But who knows, I might be able to go 1 more place before I go home! 

Other than that, Liverpool is pretty good! I love being here so far! It is weird being in a HUGE ward that had youth, bishopric, a huge building, tons of active members, I about passes out walking into the chapel on sunday from seeing all these people! haha I am so used to being in small units like Massena, Owego, and Greenwich! But I will admit that as much as I love the big ward, I miss the small branches a lot more because you get to become a lot closer with everyone. We get to hang out/do service with a guy named Pastor Yost! Who is a Lutheran Pastor here in Liverpool who has actually been taking lessons from the missionaries since last year and is thinking about becoming a member! Pretty cool eh? He is literally like the Trimms, and Dennis Elliot from back in Massena put together! This man is awesome haha we got to help him with some service this last week and he gave us a tour of his church building and went through and explained all the different little things on what they mean and why they are there. It was really cool!

I was going to send ya'll pictures from last transfer... but I forgot my camera cord! -.- I now have a computer I can send pictures with and I forget my cord haha but I will PROMISE to send you all pictures next week because I know you all want to see and not just read/hear what is going on haha 

I love you all and miss you all where ever you may be very much! I hope that the Lord will be with you and bless you all through out this week and always till we meet again someday!

Transfers Week Son!

Dear you peoples of the Earth! (or the people of back west..haha)

SO this week  was transfer call week and I have to tell ya it was a mind blowing transfer call week! I am getting transfered to Liverpool to be with Elder Wankier for his last transfer and Elder Maxwell is staying and getting a new 2nd transfer trainer! The Huffs (Senior Couple) went home this morning and there was a ton of tears shed from the members of the Massena Branch yesterday during church. It was both of Joy and sorrow. Tears of joy were shed for they now have a new Branch President who is not a missionary and soon will have a full Branch Presidency in the up coming week. They also received a Branch mission leader as well who is not a missionary. The tear that were shed for joy, were for how much this branch has grown and how many blessing and miracles the Lord has given to the people of the Massena Branch.

The tears of Sorrow where from of course those who are leaving the Massena Branch and are saying Good-byre for now, but not forever. For all of those who are reading this that are members of the Massena Branch, the Syracuse Ward, the Owego Ward, and the Greenwich Branch, I have grown to love each of you so much! The Lord knows when I start getting to comfortable and that is when I need to go and be comfortable with others and help them as I hope and pray that I have helped each of you in some way or another. If you all think that I am not going to come back after my mission is over to visit and do stuff with all of you... all I can say is if you don't believe me, talk to mom the coordinator! :) I know that most of you if not all of you who read this have her on facebook and chat with her all the time. haha 

Change is good, the Gospel is the Gospel of change! Life is all about change, but you are the only one who gets to decide if it is going to be a good change or a bad change, but I can promise you all that if you trust in the Lord our God, and our savior Jesus Christ, the change that will happen if your life no matter what it is, will always be a change for the good. That is one thing I have learned on my mission and in the last 6-12 weeks being in Massena, is to trust in the Savior above any one else and to make sure I do my best for him and all will be well. I know this to be true and I know this Gospel to be true with all my heart! Nothing will be able to change that, I so testify in the name of our friend and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
