WEEK #39 - Survivors in Land's End

Wow... what a week! Definitely just got to keep surviving out there. :)

Monday: April 13th
Today was really good! I got to talk to my fam and found out baby Paxton is almost here!! Kyler and Shaylee are going to be amazing parents, such studs.

We had another lesson over the phone with Carol, she's wonderful. All it takes is a sincere study of the Book of Mormon and anyone can come to know of its truth! I know as I've done so there has been a greater change in my life, especially in the amount of peace that I feel as I read this Book. Check it out sometime :)

Masks on please :)

Tuesday: April 14th
Sent another Elder home to the airport. The mission lost 10 missionaries due to health (not coronavirus) and 11 more from transfers. We aren't getting any new missionaries so some companionships will be running two/three areas! Crazy times. Me and Elder Samojla crammed in a bunch of work on Facebook setting up the Protocols and stuff. We met with our specialists team and got more done! Also had a lesson with Angela, she wants her daughter baptized in order to help her receive the same peace, joy, and calm she has while studying the Gospel!

Wednesday: April 15th
Today was the all mission meeting! Me and Elder Samojla gave the training on all the Facebook stuff we made and were grilled with questions left and right. It went rather well and the whole mission is pretty excited for Facebook!

Facebook Team!

AWESOME STORY:
I was going to walk outside for a quick breather when I got a video call from my brother Kyler... Shaylee had her baby!! Baby Paxton is finally here :) I am SOO happy for them! Shoutout to them, they are amazing. I can't wait to one day meet baby Paxton!

Thursday: April 16th
All day today me and Elder Samojla worked on creating a Facebook post rotation schedule. Basically organizing the entire mission into every day of the week :) It's okay, we're not dead from working haha! We finally had a lesson with Danyel, we hope to help him and his mom apply the Gospel more into their daily life. The Gospel LIVED is a Gospel LOVED!! <3 Remember that :)

Friday: April 17th
Today we drove home two more Elders to the GJ airport. Elder Noel came out with me, it was tough to see him go home. Even if it was medical. It's so hard to see them go, they are like brothers to me... today we got to crank out more stuff on Facebook. Lot of work! :)

Saturday: April 18th
Facebook has launched! We finally got it all up and running. I am very excited to see how it does across the whole mission :) LIKE US - @TheChurchofJesusChristInGrandJunction
Lot of hard work going to pay off. President also had us work with the APs to put together 9 slide show presentations! Today was a lot of clicking and stressin. I still love missionary work though! The Lord definitely has a peculiar plan with all of us. There is a reason for everything happening and I can't wait to learn more about my part in it!

Sunday: April 19th
We video chatted Angela into sacrament and then worked more on the outline for Facebook. Today was a great day, and I was able to do another Facebook live! I love those things :)

Keeping on moving forward, it's the only direction that will help us progress :) Miss you all!

Love,
