Crazy week this week! Good ole Transfer week...
Monday: November 16th
Today was amazing :) Absolutely. We coordinated alot with the office team for transfers and got a lot done!
Tuesday: November 17th
We had a great lesson with this person named Shonda. She opened up about how much difficulty she's been through in her life and we taught about the importance of turning to Jesus Christ completely. As we do so, we come to realize how much He really gives back to us when we devote our whole life to Him. Such a rewarding path!

Today was insane! I got to drive a 15 passenger van to the Denver airport... haha! We then couldn't find the new missionaries for a while cause they got lost, but we eventually picked up all 20 of them and got them back. It was so awesome seeing just the new energy and fire these missionaries had to go out and serve the Lord! Some were still a little bit in high school, but they'll surely be refined as they become better missionaries of Jesus Christ. Nothing better than driving a van load of missionaries towards the Rocky Mountain sunset at 4:30pm!
Van load haha
Thursday: November 19th
Woke up at 4am to load all the new missionaries onto the transfer bus! Wonderful... :) Lots of things to organize but transfers went pretty smooth for the first time. We got to keep Elder Stoddard for the night before he left home tomorrow. He was my companion for a week in GJ back in Nov 2019! Holy cow. Times flies.
Friday: November 20th
This morning we woke up early and I'd Rove the van again to the airport loaded with all the departing missionaries! Elder Samojla was in that group!! Ahhh, that was so sad seeing him go, but he's served a valiant mission. I was his companion for 5 and a half months. So awesome :) Today we also got news from our mission president... MORE Covid restrictions! Yay haha. We aren't allowed to go in member homes anymore, no more in person exchanges, or rather anything in person for now.... whelp. Back to the apartment we go! My mission has been absolutely the best, haha! Our prophet, Russell M. Nelson also shared a powerful message of hope that I cried to. I'm so comforted knowing that we have a Prophet of God here upon the earth to lead and guide us!
Saturday: November 21st
Today was packed with a couple meetings and lessons, but we learned alot about how we can better work on Facebook! Never before thought I'd be a social media missionary. We definitely live in some crazy times, but I'm so thankful for technology and all it does to connect me to those I love!
Elder Hawkes... what a legend.
Sunday: November 22nd
Today our friend Melissa came to church! She got so welcomed my everyone here in the ward it was amazing to see. I even gave a talk titled Revelation. I hope others were able to learn more about Jesus Christ and His love for us from what I spoke!
Enjoy the upcoming Thanksgiving!! There are many things to be grateful for in this year, please count your blessings. It's always more fun that way :)
Love,
