Vaccines and Finding, April 12 2021

Hello everyone! 

This week was a little tough, it went kinda slow. We have been doing lots of finding as our teaching pool is pretty small right now and finding can try your patience at times. 

We had some success, we were able to give out two Book of Mormons and we were able to send out a few facebook videos that people will hopefully get back to us on!

As for the vaccine, every missionary in our mission got the first dose of the vaccine on Friday. I was pretty grateful for that. I was a little worried that it might make us sick but we are feeling great. 

Don't have to much else to say from this week, sorry it isn't too long of an email! 

I'm hoping for a faster paced more eventful week ahead! 

Hope you all have a great week!

Conference and Service April 5, 2021

Hello everyone! 

This week went by pretty quickly. 

General Conference weekends are always great. This past one was pretty unique, my first Conference on the mission. 

For Conference we got to spend the night at another Elders apartment, that was pretty fun! One of my favorite talks was President Nelson's about developing faith in Jesus Christ. This is something I am trying to develop more of, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 

We got to do some service at the Temple again this week, along with other service for a ward member. A ward member who we taught for awhile and kept in contact with for the past few months passed away this past week which was very sudden and sad. We attended a memorial for him this past week. It was quite touching and I learned of how great of a person he was while on earth. It made me think of how important our time here is. 

Anyways I hope all is going well with you all!

Welcome, Elder Winn! March 29, 2021

Hello everyone! 

This past week has been crazy. A lot has happened! 

Elder Hales got transferred to a place called Missouri River, I miss him already. My new companion is Elder Winn! He is from Orem, Utah and he has the same birthday as me and Will! He is full of energy and has a strong desire to be a good missionary! 

The first few days were quite the adventure, we did a good amount of biking and we even had a few good conversations with some people! This change as really forced me into a situation I feel new at and it has scared me a bit. I have hope that I can adjust and do better. 

We had a couple lessons with Leslie this past week. They went pretty well. Elder Winn has a strong testimony and has just dove into this work. He is striving to do what is right and it is great to see. 

Missionary work is not always easy, I am seeing that now as I am going through a pretty hard time, but just as life gets difficult I know it will get better if I continue to do the small and simple things! 

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying some warmer weather! 

Bye Elder Hales :(
