Hey Fam!
Santa Maria
has a lot of potential! We had an awesome week.
We set the husband of a part member family with a really solid baptismal
date for the 18th of April. We taught
him obedience, laws of the land, baptism, and tithing. He has been taught everything, and now we just
need to review the baptismal interview questions with him and see what else we
need to review. He made a huge sacrifice yesterday to come to church by going
in to work super early on Saturday, working all day and all night to be able to
come home Sunday morning and then come to church Sunday afternoon on basically
no sleep, but he loved it. We were all
super pumped about that and he is doing great.
We are making good progress on visiting all the members, teaching them
the doctrine of Hastening the work, and helping everyone fulfill their
HomeTeaching assignments. We are working hard, staying optimistic and seeing a lot
of great things!
Elder Moreno and Elder Clarkson are great for me. I feel like we are doing extremely well, obedient, talking with everyone, seeing miracles, having fun, and we have stellar study sessions. Of course there's always room for improvement but we are being the best missionaries we can be! Elder Clarkson is from Spokane, Washington. Elder Moreno is from Nevada, but his family will be moving to Utah as soon as he gets home. He is a convert of three years now. He is going to be my roommate at Snow!

I am just
happy to be called of God and of a living prophet. I love being a missionary,
and cherish my time to give all of my heart, might, mind, and strength to Him.
As I have been preparing for General Conference coming up (in 2 weeks!! I can’t
wait), I have been going over my notes from the previous 3 conferences of my
mission. Elder MacKay's mom sent me a nice organized little notebook where all
of the apostles have their own section, so I have been studying my notes by
apostle and it has been really cool to notice the style of each apostle and
patterns and similar warnings they repeat in so many of their talks. There is no doubt in my mind they are men
called of God and that the Lord is no stranger to his servants.
Love,
Elder
