Providence Week 4

 Howdy yall it's been yet another week here in Providence and it seems to just be going faster and faster every week. This week was one of the more testing weeks on my mission. We didn't find a whole lot of people and with that there were quite a few bashers mixed in as well. It has honestly been a blessing in disguise though because every person who tries to bash us has been giving us new questions we have been able to take apart. Each one we were able to come up with a great response too.  It really has made me confident in our gospel.  


This week me and Elder Ford were able to go on an exchange with our zone leaders who are way fun and are great examples of missionaries. They are also great teachers so it was way cool to see a great lesson up close and personal. I was with Elder Johnson and we were chopping it up about bball and he also has one of the best Peter Griffin impressions I have ever heard. 

Also on Saturday we were able to visit the college campus with some other elders in our district. I did not know I was living life on hard mode because everyone at the college campus wants to come to church. Ysa work might actually be for me. 

Spiritual thought- 
Matthew: 18
21 ¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
I have noticed that most of my spiritual thoughts come back to the atonement but this is the most important thing from our gospel. If you ever feel like you cut yourself off from God just know he is waiting for you with open arms looking to forgive you as long as you make the effort.

So ya sorta a short email from my end but I will still keep the weekly emails coming. Love and miss all you guys

  What's up everyone! Im writing this on my new android phone with really bad autocorrect so bear with me here.  5th day of provo MTC and I think I finally might be locked in on the missionary lifestyle. Being able to wake up at 6:30 every day has truly been a miracle. Bless up. I would seriously kill for a nap but I guess those aren't allowed around here. I got super lucky with my district we all get along pretty well. My companion Elder Bills is a dog. He has been telling me about his adventures in the harsh mountains of Idaho. He doesn't say much but when he does it's gospel. We had our first teaching appointment yesterday and even with practicing humility we killed it. Turns out the MTC teaching appointment are actors but hey a wins a win.  We have had some pretty spiritual classes and thanks to my teachers my testimony has grown so much over the last week. My favorite part so far has been my personal studies. The people in my district know everything there is to kn...

Providence Week 3

  What's up everybody! Yet another great week here in Providence and it’s crazy to me that a week has passed since my last email. It's already starting to go so fast. This week started off with me and Elder Ford being solo since the other companionship in our apartment was on an exchange with another companionship. It felt really weird living with just one other person but elder Ford still made it fun. This week we also had our exchange but it was with the companionship in our apartment who we share the same area with which was probably one of my favorite days on the mission. The other companions are starting their own area as well so most of the people they teach are just people found on the street so me and Elder Sharp were just out finding all day. We worked really well together and this was probably my most successful day on the mission after what was a somewhat dry week.  Highlights of da week  -Met Mrs. Utah and we made sure to invite her to church. She also made us...
