week #58

 

Hey everybody! Another great week here in Westport! It's been nice and sunny here which has been suuuuper nice! Idk if I'm ready for the gloomy fall and winter days but I'm stoked for that too! 

 

Awesome news! Wesport got 2 new Elders this week! Elder Birtcher (was serving in the Vanuagu Islands) and Elder Hair (was serving in New Zealand)! They're great missionaries and are so excited to be here! This little branch was happy with Elder Nelson and I and will be SO excited to have 4 Elders here!

 

We have been formulating out super fantastical battle plan for how were going to get things poppin here in the area! It's going great we have some great ideas about how to find more people to help bring closer to Christ! In excited to be putting it into action! Also so stoked to say that Elder Bateman and I ate chillen up here in the same zone! He's a great missionary and I'm stoked to be able to work with him up here!

 

Elder Nelson and I choose a spiritual though to do a deep dive into each week! This weeks was diligence! I learned a lot about diligence this week but the most impactful to me was on July 24 studying about the faith and diligence of the pioneers! MY ANCESTORS. I'm do proud to say that they endured those hardships so that I could live the life I've been blessed with! I believe we can all find little ways in which we can be more diligent in all things! Do things with a purpose in mind and you will find yourself feeling happier and more accomplished! And not to mention, the Lord will be happy with you! 

 

That's it for me this week! Keep killin it you guys! I love you all! 

 

Catch ya next week!

week #65

 

Hey y'all sorry it's been so long! To be honest not much has been going on so I dont know what to write about hahah! 

 

I guess something happened last week! I got a new comp! Elder Holman! He's was cool. From provo and went to timpview so we know some of the same people which has been cool. I'm actually training him so it's been really good for me too! 

 

Westport is still big chillen as far as Church goes! Some of the other wards around us are starting to get back to it but the prospects for Westport are slim as the youngest person in the branch is 52 and COVID isn't too kind to the elderly! Sorry gma's and gpa's! 

 

We've been keeping busy with service and member visits. It's nice that when we visit them they really enjoy us because not of them dont get too much company! I love putting smiles on their faces everyday!!

 

The fire has really done some damage down in Vancouver and Portland though! We've been alright up here because were on the coast but down south they've reported some of the worst air quality in the world! Missionaries there have been encourage to stay inside as much as possible. It started to rain tonight which is an answer to prayer. But the first responders need all the help they can get so pray for them and for rain! 

 

I've been learning a lot about Faith, Hope, and Charity these past few weeks and it's been SO awesome! Along with Meekness they really are what we need in order to become like Christ and be who He wants us to be! There is so much to learn about within those few attributes of Christ so I really recommend studying up in them and trying to put what you learn into practice. It will bless your life and make you a better person! 

 

I love you all and love hearing from you!
