One Little Miracle


It was the first week of the transfer, even though I got a new companion it was nice that I already knew him before because we didn't really have to do any adjusting or getting used to each other because we already lived in the same flat before haha!

I just wanted to share one miracle than came from this week. We have been struggling to try and find people to teach here during this lockdown. We have focused a lot on teaching members and this week we taught a couple that it actually turned out the wife was not a member, and she has been going to church for quite some time but she just never got baptized. The couple asked us if we could start teaching them the missionary lessons! We were honestly so excited and we know that this was a HUGE blessing from our Heavenly Father to help us out. We are so thankful! 

Apart from that I'm still keeping up the running each day and focusing on whipping myself into good shape. It feels great to be healthy! The members in the ward are more great and we are enjoying trying to get to know them even though we can't really meet them in person yet. We pray that things will start to ease up sooner rather than later here in the UK, but we just gotta keep on enduring to the end. Sometimes that's the best thing that we can do. 

I am thankful for the knowledge and faith which I have in a loving Heavenly Father and in our Savior Jesus Christ. I could not imagine going through these times without that. Having the sacrament at home has truly strengthened my testimony in the power of the Atonement. Christ knows what it's like to kind of be unsure about when we can be back to normal missionary life, so I just gotta rely on him to help me through. Nothing much else to say! Love you all.

Final Mission Thoughts

  I recently received an email from my dad who gave me an invitation to read Alma 26 about Ammon describing his story and his experience as a missionary, and then to write my own mission story down. I decided this would be a great experience and I know my ideas may be a little out of place in some moments and that I might forget some details, but I hope and pray my writing will capture and portray a small portion of the joys and challenges of my full time missionary service. I hope this will bless my future self and all who read this story. All things contained here are true experiences and moments that helped to shape the course of my young life up to this point.  On Tuesday October 9, 2018 I was dropped off by my family at the Salt Lake City Airport to fly to the Preston, England missionary training center. It was a very emotional day and tough to say goodbye for the next 2 years but I know that I was doing the right things and fulfilling my duty as a priesthood holder to se...

He's Home!

There is nothing quite like that first hug in 2 years.  It is something you have to experience to completely understand.  I missed this boy so much.  Even though I got to video call with him weekly, there is nothing like being together, in person. Stockton's welcome home looked a lot different than we anticipated when he left.  Covid restrictions kept us from going inside the airport, we all wore masks and we didn't invite extended family.  But it didn't take the joy out of the moment we finally got to be with him!  It's a mom's (and a girlfriend's) dream come true. ♥️ We didn't get the best pictures because we were more concerned with video.  And, Mason was on picture duty.  He is still learning about angles and capturing that perfect moment! The day started with this middle of the night picture and message... The journey begins.  About to board the plane for a 10 hour flight to Atlanta. His already later-in-the-evening flight was delayed by...
