WEEK 2/104: Ninja Companion





Hello again

Just to let you know I think once I'm out in the field my emails will be very short. They give us a little more time in the MTC but as soon as I'm out in the field, I have no idea how I will respond to everyone. Anways, how is everything?! Everyone doing well? 

I have not gotten sick yet but I did notice a few bites on my arm this morning. I sure hope those malaria pills work!!! I can't wait to get that camera thing, I took a great picture with little kids. One of them really wanted to touch my hair haha. I can't remember if I said anything about my companion but if I did I will tell you again. We are the only ones in our district who get along. The only problem is he is having a hard time learning and teaching doctrine. He often teaches false doctrine to our practice investigators. But he is trying, and we are good friends. I also have to keep my eye on this kid because I swear he is a ninja! If I take my eye off him for a second he finds a way to disappear and wander off. One time we went to the washroom and I finished first so I stood by the entrance watching everyone exit and like 10 minutes past and I couldn't find him. Turns out he some how got passed me and was wondering around. I don't know how he does it!! This kid is stressing me out! I've talked to him several times but he still just goes off on his own. Other than that though we really get along very well. People in my district always tell us how lucky we are but I think it just comes down to attitude. I have had three companions so far, one was only for a day but I got along with all three. But I am excited to go out to the field Tuesday, it will be great!!!

His current companion is Tongan so I'm thinking the companion in the picture is companion #2?  We know one change was to help a companion learn English since he was only speaking in his native language to his previous companion.  He also said his district likes to come and hang out in his room at night.  He said he tells them he's trying to sleep but they come anyways :).  It sounds like he will be going to his mission on Tuesday and then we won't hear from him until the following Monday since his PDays will then switch from Thursday to Monday.

Tanner's Farewell

Image
Tanners farewell was lovely.  He really did do a nice job on his talk.  It was fun to catch a glimpse of his personality sprinkled throughout yet he was respectful as well.  He has truly grown so much this past year and I'm sure he will grow even more these next two.   I'm very grateful my family were able to come.  I think he would have felt bad if nobody was able to be here.  We stay for all three meetings so we really didn't have much of a celebration after....just the family had lunch together and then we said good-bye.  I still tried to decorate a bit so he would feel special. Here is a copy of his talk.  I don't remember hearing the poem before but I really liked it. Good morning brothers and sisters. And thank you so much for all of you who showed up to support me. When I was a young boy my mom and I were in a bank. When we were sitting down with one of the workers at the bank they asked...

WEEK 7/104: Faith

Image
(I told Tanner from his pictures it looks like he was sent to a country inhabited solely by children!) Hey everyone!! So this week was very successful, well until the end but hey I will take it. We found 4 new investigators and received 1 referral. Three of the 4 investigators we found all in one place together and we have taught them twice throughout the week. And wow, they are powerful... they have really been prepared to learn about and receive the gospel.They ask so many questions and are just so ready to learn the truth. They go to a church but realize the things going on in that church are not right, so when we extended the invitation to come to our church they were not ready. They told us they have already made a poor choice once so they want to be sure before they decided again. The next time we meet Elder Johnson and I will share some scriptures with them that I came across during personal studies. It is found in Alma 32:21-33, 33:23. These s...

MERRY CHRISTMAS (12-23-19)

Hello Friends,  Afishapa!! That translates into Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have been listening to Christmas music a lot and I especially love the song that reads, "its the most wonderful time, of the year."... This is definitely a true and accurate statement, and as I reflected on why this is my thought lead me back to my Savior.  Christmas is about Christ, and it pains me when I see His name replaced with an X. If you have fallen given into this disrespectful temptation by placing this on social media posts, or text messages, or even posters, then I would invite you to quickly repent and put Christ back into your Christmas and lives.  That is not the only way we take Christ out of Christmas however. It is so easy to get caught into the worldly aspects such as presents, decorations or even delicious food, that we might even forget the origin of this joy.  Even I almost got caught up on this recently as I was planning an activity for s...
