SHORT.
Hey ya'll!
I'm totally out of time, but I thought I'd write what little I can.
I'm alive for sure, working my butt off as usual, and things are good here. :) We are getting along great, our areas are as ghetto as ever, and we're having a blast while doing it!
We are putting special focus on working with members this week, and we are planning on working our butts off.
love you all!

Baptisms and Mini-Missions
Hey everyone!
Another amazing week has passed here in the good ol' Waspo, and I can't help but just sit back and smile at all of it. We had everything from Baptisms to Surprise Birthday parties, and everything awesome in between.
Brother H-- and us Full Timers |
We started off by getting a legit mini-missionary, named Brother H--. He's from the Riverside ward, and he is a BOSS! We had SO MUCH fun with him, and had a lot of awesome lessons too! While he was here, he got to be part of our surprise party that we threw for our good friend Ch-- in the Singles Ward. It was planned out by her sister K--, and we got to be in on it. SUPER FUN! We prepped all of the birthday stuffs, and when she got home, BOOM! We jumped out and scared the crap out of her. In a good way though! We all had cake, laughed, sang songs, and had a grand old time!
Ch-- and K-- at the party! :D |
Brother H-- stuck with us for three days, and Saturday, he got to participate in our weekly service project for the local homeless shelter. That is always an awesome experience, and he said it was one of the best things he'd ever done.
Waiting to Surprise Ch--! |
As we had to let him go, we were pretty darn depressed after he left, but then, we had once again, an amazing experience! K--, after months of prepping, and a million and one miracles, was finally able to enter the waters of baptism.
Elder M--, K-- and me. :) |
This has been an incredible journey for her, and it has been an honor to be part of her growth and dedication to Christ.
Baptism selfie! |
I had the honor of baptizing her, and Elder M-- got to confirm her the next day.
Bathroom selfie with the gang! :D |
I still can't get over how strong the Spirit was, and I can't ever thank God enough for letting me be a part of this journey.
Ah!
I love my mission. :D Everyone, keep your head up! God is real. He loves us, and He's always gonna help us, no matter what.
I love ya all! Keep it up! :D

Week One With The Youngsters
Hey ya'll!
So, one week down.
YSA work is so weird! Like, we have stewardship of all of Spokane, which is a big difference from being in tiny Moran Prairie. It's good though. The ward members that I've met so far have been AWESOME, and there is a LOT of work to do. I love it though!
Under the freeway- "SKETCH!" (Anyone know what this means? I need a missionary translator...) |
The week started off crazy. P-day, we went under the freeway for an adventure... Super sketch...
On Tuesday, we dropped Elder G- off in Spokane Valley, which was SUPER SAD! I love that guy.
Saying goodbye to Elder G. |
Right after that, we rushed to the temple to make it to M-'s endowment session with the M--s.
It was amazing! So flipping happy for her! (She has been called on a mission to Japan!)

M- and us at the Temple |
Guys, the temple truly is the most amazing place on the planet. Even our tiny Spokane temple. ;)
After that, it was appointments, lessons, service and just flat out missionary life.
I love it!
At work. |
At night. |
Not a whole lot else to report... I have a bunch of pictures for ya'll though! :D (The photos in this post.)
This work is amazing! I love every second of it, and I thank God for the opportunity to be here.
God is good! And so is working for him.
Love ya'll!

Tripanionship to Transfers
Hey ya'll!
So, here we are. Transfers have come again, and things have gotten kinda crazy around here, but at the same time, things are so freaking awesome! Over the last week, I've been in this freaking awesome Tripanionship with Elder M--, and Elder G--.
We've been working our butts off over here over our three areas. But it's been good, and we've gotten a lot done.
I love these two!
But yeah, now, it's transfer time. And now, the big news: I'm getting transferred! I'm heading to the Spokane YSA! With Elder M--!
Me and Elder M-- are bros, and I'm so pumped to hit the streets and give folks some Jesus with him. So pumped!
Oh, and I'm gonna be going to the temple tomorrow with an awesome friend who's going through for the first time!
So pumped! :D
Aside from that, there really isn't much to write home about.
.....
I'm healthy, I'm happy, and I'm working hard...
.....
Uh, anything else I need to say...?
Tell you what, you guys send questions, and I'll answer them! Send 'em all my way folks!
I love you all, and I can't wait to hear from you!
