"Ride my Tornado!!!" Welcome to Huntington, Indiana!!!

Hello from Huntington, Indiana!!!

Things are going well in the new area. I have really enjoyed being here. My new companion is Elder Thomson from Bountiful, Utah. He is 19 years old and has been on his mission for about 8 months. He is a good kid and a good missionary and I look forward to working with him. It was exciting coming into the new area because there is a couple on date for baptism this coming weekend! It is great to see things progress throughout the mission. 

Something that was really funny that happened this week was we walked by this guy who we see fairly regularly but this time he was listening to headphones. As we walk by him he starts singing along or something to what he is listening to and exclaims, "Ride my tornado!!!" Elder Thomson and I have been saying that multiple times to each other and we laugh every time! Looks like things are going to be fun in Huntington!!!

Thank you, I love you!!!

Transferred Again!!!

Hello Everyone!!!

Whelp, I am getting transferred again. I am going to Huntington, Indiana and my companion is Elder Thomson. I am excited! It is going to be fun to be back in the Fort Wayne Stake. 

General Conference was wonderful. There were so many great talks given. We had a fantastic miracle with one of our investigators and conference. Two weeks ago, we set up with our investigator to watch conference at their house for the session at four on Sunday. Heavenly Father's had was in that appointment. The talk given by Elder Costa stood out to our investigator incredibly. He said that he felt an urge to read the Book of Mormon from that talk. That was amazing! 

I also received some revelation that I enjoyed. During Elder Grow's talk he invited us to pray for something and I thought, "I need to make sure I pray for that tonight." Something that has been almost bothering me about the clear mind and blank slate way of praying is that I feel like there are things that I have been wanting to pray for but haven't because they don't come to mind while I am praying. The thought after that though was, "Why wait? Pray for it right now!" I realized that every time that I have the thought to pray for something, I can do so right then. There is no need to wait. I think that this will greatly improve my prayers. What I find funny about this though is that I don't remember what he invited us to pray for...

I got to go to the temple on Friday!!! That was amazing! I was able to be the escort for a member in Greenville who just received his mission call. My experience at the temple was another indication of Heavenly Father's hand in my life. Elder Grass, a former companion of mine, also attend the temple during the same endowment session that I was there for! It was super cool to see him there. God truly is awesome and He does love us!

Thank you, I love you!!!
