Talmage Mission

Good Morning!  This has been a really great week! Richfield is full of potential, and I am grateful to be a part of it! We had the end of March, and things are looking pretty solid for April! I'll share my favorite finding miracle this week:  We met Jontay in our car. We were idling at a stoplight, not knowing what to do, so we just kind of sat there like good missionaries I guess. Then Jontay walked in front of our car, and I decided it would be a great idea to roll down the window and talk to him. Without thinking that thought through, I simply rolled down the window and yelled; "Hey, do you know anyone we could teach?" He looked confused (as he should) so I followed it up with "You should come over here so this is less awkward." I know, I'm brilliant.  Turns out he's not a member and goes to church. Why he talked to us after that interaction I have no explanation for, other than God. We scheduled a visit with him, and then he even came to sacrament in...

Good Morning! How do you say a week was full of miracles? God knows the timing of His children, and He allowed us to be a small part of His work by finding a few new friends to teach! Some have been worked with in the past, while others we are visiting for the first time.  But before we get to that, we had two baptisms this weekend! Elder Mason & I have been working with Ryker and Chandlee since our time being here. They are both willing to live the gospel, and Chandlee has been waiting to be baptized for a while. We were able to help them accomplish their goals this past weekend. I've loved working with them! We met the Winn family on Tuesday last week. The kids were friendly, but when we came back later the dad told us he wasn't interested. So we mentioned that his kids were, and scheduled a time to come by. They tried canceling the morning of our visit, but due to some confusion we actually didn't get their text, and showed up anyway! It was a miracle because we shar...

Good Morning!  Of our five friends preparing for baptism, four of them came to church! We also had a very successful Zone Conference and a wonderful couple exchanges. We did only find one new friend, Robin, but she's fantastic and is doing very well. We will see her again on Tuesday.  The theme for this past Zone Conference was "Holiness". This is a subject I really appreciated, as sometimes I need a little kick to recognize some of my own habits that could make me a holier person. It was a wonderful experience to be with so many missionaries, I met a lot of friends while there, I loved it.  I did another exchange in Salina. I promise there's a good reason for going there so often, it's only really my second exchange there. I got to teach Estella again, and Elenor, her younger sister who is getting baptized in a couple weeks! That was amazing, I also met their new hedgehog. They're wonderful people. I met with David Ritchey for a few minutes, he is willing to ...
