Transfer Week! (Transfer 16 or 17)

ARE YA READY KIDS??!?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!! 


This week has been a very uneventful week. Which is ok, because things will get better! :) I just know they will! Elder Geminert got sick this last week with what we think is strep throat...yikes... but he is doing better than he was at the beginning of the week which is super good! His throat just hurts really bad....

So Transfers are this week! And I know some of you know cause of A. I told you this week on monday in an email. Or B. You found out through Pastor Yost :) I am leaving to spend at least (hopefully) the next 6 weeks in Binghamton centeral with Elder Sanders whom I have met before and is a freakin amazing missionary and person! :D I am excited to serve with him but I am sad to leave Elder Geminert and the people I have been able to become close with and get to know very well! But I know the Lord needs me to be there to learn something or to help someone or someones in Binghamton. Other than that nothing else has happened...we spent a lot of time sick this week and so nothing awesome happened... :P But things will be exciting when I get to a new area! 
Sorry its so short this week.... :/

Another Week of Testing.

Dear you's guy's,


This week has been another very slow week, but It was a bit easier this week has it has been in past weeks. I think it is because Elder Geminert and I have been trying to stay more positive and are trying to point out all the good things that have happened through out each day that have helped us fulfill our purpose.

We also had the sweet opportunity to watch "Meet the Mormons" in our Zone meeting last Wednesday and it was a really good movie! Elder Geminert and I both agreed that one day that will probably be a movie that we hand out as missionaries and show to others  as we teach them. If you guys haven't been able to see it, I would encourage you to go and see it :) This movie is not for just members of the church, it was actually made for people who aren't members to understand more of who we are, what we believe, and how we live our faith as members of the Lords church. There was defiantly a sweet spirit that was there as we watched this movie and I hope that more people will watch it as it come to a theater near you!

This week is also transfer call week, we find out on Saturday what is going to happen, I have no idea personally what will happen but I know that I am game for what ever needs to happen for this upcoming transfer! Other than that, it has been getting super freakin cold this last week! Like It might freakin snow before halloween! 0.0 I hope that it doesn't...I don't want it to be super cold all the time. haha 

I love you all and I don't have much, but I hope that somewhere out there you all enjoy these emails/FB posts!  Keep on Keepin' on!

ROUGH, TOUGH, AND BLESSED WEEK

Dear you all whom I Love so very much,

I want to let you all know that this week has been a hard week mentally and emotionally for my companion and I as we have done our best to do the Lords work, but as we all know, when we strive to become better and do better, Satan does the same thing; he tries harder and does what he can to tear us apart so that way may fall off the path of righteousness that leads to eternal life.Despite that hardships my companion and I have had this week, I do not wish to dwell on them or talk any more about them. In conference this year we heard a lot of people talk about how we need to let things go, and dwell on the bad, but hope for the good, and see the goodness that is yet to come.

This week did have some good things come from it! We did find a new investigator, we were able to see some of the small blessings that have come despite all the bad things that have happened. I want you all to know that I feel blessed beyond comprehension from this last week, and I still feel super blessed as I have looked passed the doubt, worry, and other un-positive feelings that Satan has thrown at me this week, and have done as most of the other speakers from this last General Conference have asked us “Which way do you face?” I asked my self that question this last week and noticed that I was not facing the Lord as often or as much as I should have been and that I needed to change. Just by turning to the Lord and facing him and the things we have been asked to do, I have been blessed immensely. I have not had any answers to my prayers yet, I have not had extreme or any other extra ordinary things happen to me since I have done this. What has happened to me is, that I feel happy, peace, comfort, in all things no matter what has or is going to happen! It has helped me feel more of a courage to head the words of Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum or the 12 apostles said to all of us,"Despite all of the negative challenges we have in life, we must take time to actively exercise our faith.....You may need to reorganize your priorities....If so, DO IT!
I also want to say a very very special CONGRATULATIONS to the new Mr. and Mrs. Wofley! Who got married this last weekend! I sent a special request in my email to my mother to give to those attending the ceremony (which I didn't they would actually do ) to take a selfie with those who were apart of the wedding so that way I could see everyone since I was not able to make it to the wedding. Here is what almost made me cry when I opened an email from my mom this week.



Thank you so much to those who where willing to be in the photo and to my cousin Bryson who was the camera man (AKA main selfie man) This truly has made my week and I love you all very much and I am so happy for both Robert and Sam that they are now married and are happy! I can't wait to hear from you all next week!

Conference and Tracting

HOLA! 

This week as most of you know was General conference and boy what a conference it was! I loved all the topics given in all the sessions and how much all of them in their talks no matter who they were or what session they spoke in, they all pretty made sure that we get off our lazy butts and just "DO IT!" - Richard G. Scott

Other than conference it was pretty much a finding week for Elder Geminert and I. We spent a good amount of time calling people to set up appointments, tracting, and trying our best to find those whom the Lord has prepared to hear the message of the Restored Gospel.We had quite a few tell us to come back and when we came back over the weekend, no one was home or wouldn't answer the door. It was kind of depressing, but I know that the Lord is with us and that if we keep our hopes up and keep on keepin' on that we will blessed for our efforts and so will others as we continue in faith to do the Lords work.

Now with that since all we did was find this week, I didn't take to many pictures so I will also post these pictures I am sending in this email on the FB (Facebook) for those of you have facebook to see as well, there might be some that you will see in the email that didn't make it onto my personal FB because of the rules which we have about what we can post picture wise on the FB. That is another reason why mom's are so great! haha :) 

I love you all and hope and pray that you will be blessed this upcoming week and that as you ponder the things which were shared in conference and the feelings you felt, that you may become whom the Lord would have you become!
