Bringing in December with Christmas Miracles! December 6, 2016

Before anything else, the lovely Hermana Tucker and I are making Christmas cards today! I would LOVE to send one to all of you! Could you send me your address this week please? And I will send one next Tuesday when we email! (We have interviews with President Mansell on Monday, so we might be needing to move preparation day to Tuesday again!)
So... I'm pretty much just forwarding my letter from President Mansell for this week... and adding maybe a few extra things... Maybe. haha
This week has been splendid! So we are finding a lot of people to teach! (<-MIRACLES!) for the English missionaries!! It's great- I'm only a little sad because they are super awesome children of God and I don't get to see their testimonies grow, but the main point is that this is the same great work done through the Spirit no matter what missionaries are involved! However, with the amount of referrals that we gave out, we were even more blessed Sunday as we went to the 2nd ward with a new investigator, Shanice, that we taught Saturday. We brought Shanice to the 2nd ward to sit with her during sacrament and then the Elders came up to us after the meeting to introduce us to a Hispanic family who had been brought by a former missionary who came up from Arizona to visit a family he met in Nicaragua during his mission that are now living here! <-That's super confusing! I hope it makes a little sense! But basically, we are now going to pass off Shanice to the Elders and will teach this Hispanic family! The miracles happening are just so unreal!
Two of the things I've been focusing on in missionary work this past week are simple but have resulted in many miracles. I realized that I really stink at setting return appointments. I will get their name, address and phone number but I forget to set specific return appointments. So I changed this week and although I asked for specific return appointments horribly like "Well, could we come back and share more about Jesus Christ with you and your family?" (<-there is absolutely NOTHING enticing or exciting about that) and I forget to teach more than "hey, there's this awesome Christmas video about Jesus Christ and the service he gives!", somehow almost everyone that I have asked have said, "yeah, I would love that" or "that sounds good". So the second thing I'm still working on is teaching when I find. With that said though, Shanice set a return appointment for 2 hours later and then came to church yesterday!
So we talked to a girl who goes to LifeChurch (a HUGE church all over Oklahoma at least), and we asked her if we could share a video with her (Light the World) and she was like, "LifeChurch already showed that during church last week". Uh... okay, "SWEET! Did you get a chance to share it?" "Yep, I already shared it on Facebook". *drop the mic* haha um.. okay. Haha we didn't really know what to do after that. Just kidding, we had her refer the awesome video to her friend that was with her and gave her a card. #WhenLifeChurchDoesYourWork #GreatestOYM
By the way, I just got the information for my homecoming talk, so before I forget, I'll be speaking on New Year's Day (January 1st) at 11:00 am at the Northbridge Chapel 1080 West Arlington Street, WASHINGTON, Utah 84780-8594. Merry Christmas! I love you all! Chao!

Society at its Finest

*Ding* the classic iPhone text message default tone “note” goes off, and just like that our hand reaches out, picks up our phone and before we know it we are once again controlled. We have been conditioned by our technological devices to respond when they want us to respond rather than when we want to respond. We are becoming a society that behaves just like Pavlov’s dogs who were trained to salivate when the bell sounds rather than when they actually saw the food- or the good stuff. We are losing our ability to reason and act for ourselves, as we allow the world to train us to automate our actions, our opinions, and even our very morals and beliefs. Before I go on, I must say that I do in fact use social media and I love my smart phone! However, I’ve recently begun seeing the flaws of them and I want to point out some of the pitfalls that we can easily be trapped by through their usage. I’m not promoting the absolute abandonment of either technology or social media, rather I’m pr...

A Blessed Week! Novermber 29, 2016

Hi you all! Hermana Tucker is awesome! We are seeing SO many miracles together and it is so nice being able to work so much in our area together! I love it!  So this past Sunday I was just having one of those days that I thought might lead to another round of just really hard days and I was worried. I didn't want that to happen yet again. After a long day of meetings and church and just feeling down on myself because of errors that I had made this past week, my Spanish was doing awful and I was struggling to understand, and then realizing that my self confidence was in the pits too, so I finally opened up to Hermana Tucker who had already noticed I was struggling and she had already let me play piano after church for a moment to de-stress even though she was probably starving for lunch. And guess what? After I had opened up to Hermana Tucker and explained what I was struggling with, everything else went well! I began feeling so much better and that evening I realized that alth...
