Wow... my final weekly letter to y'all. I'm not sure how I feel about this! Very bitter sweet. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I'd like to start by thanking all of you for the love and support that I've received throughout my time here in Alabama. It's definitely gotten me through some hard times and I appreciate it all so much. <u><b>To the missionaries who I've sent this to as well</b></u>, I didn't send this to the whole mission... so feel special haha I love each of you and am grateful to have be able to serve around you and grow close to each of you. Keeping working hard and being obedient!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br />
During my mission, I've been blessed to learn so many different things. I'm so grateful for these two years that I've been able to spend in Alabama.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br />
Out of all the different things that I've learned while serving the Lord, here are just three that I thought I'd share.<br />
<br />
<b>First, we truly are nothing without the help of the Lord, but with His help we can accomplish anything.</b> Alma 26:12 reads <i>"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever"</i> My mission has been the most humbling experience and I'm so grateful for that. I know that ALL I am and ALL I have is from the Lord and I will forever be grateful to Him. As I've given up my will these past two years, I've watched as He is then able to support me and give me more strength and happiness than I've ever been able to attain from my own efforts. Which leads me into my second thought....<br />
<br />
<b>Second, true happiness comes when we forget about our own needs and desires and focus on others.</b> "Turn our arrows out!" This past two years have been some of the most challenging times... but amazingly, they've also been some of my happiest times in my life! I've learned the power of selflessness. Christ lived a completely selfless life, and I've learned that as I try to follow His example and do the same, I experience a level of happiness that I have never before fully experienced to this degree. As we "forget ourselves and go to work", that's when the Lord can mold and shape us into true disciples. "By helping others come unto him, you will find that you have come unto him yourself." -Henry B. Eyring<br />
<br />
<b>Third, we need to make sure that our testimonies and understanding of the gospel are constantly increasing and growing.</b> If not, both will end up declining and becoming weaker and weaker. I've learned that, in order for my relationship with Christ and my testimony of Him to grow, He needs to be my focus in life. The Savior won't scream and shout to have our attention. He will wait patiently for us to turn to Him and put all other aspects of life aside. And then, when we make that step, he blesses us in those other aspects of life. Matthew <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1196700332" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">6:33</span></span> reads <i>"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."</i> As I've been on my mission, I've gone through times were I wasn't as focused completely on Christ as I should've been. During those times I discovered that the development of my testimony and relationship with Christ had slowed down tremendously. I've also seen the opposite times during my mission, where I was completely focusing all my time and attention to serving Christ, and my relationship with Him and my testimony of the gospel grew stronger and stronger. This is something that my mission has taught me that I hope I never forget!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Words can't describe how grateful I am for this time that I have been able to spend serving here in Alabama, with all of the amazing missionaries here. I was blessed to be able to serve with both President and Sister Hanks and President and Sister Sainsbury, all of whom I'm so grateful for. My life has forever been changed because of the ABM and I will always be Steadfast in Christ because of it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
My relationship with the Lord has grown so much as I've given these two years of my life to Him. I bare a simple testimony to y'all that the Savior lives, He loves each one of us more than we can comprehend, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is His true church restored on the earth today.</div>

p.s. To explain the title of this email, when a missionary finishes his/her mission they're referred to as dying/dead...so I burnt an old suit hahaha</div>

Don't Come Back Another Day.. -June 26th, 2017<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Well, it rained all week... I'm not talking light rain either... I'm talking heavy, southern rain haha </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So this week was good but we spent most of it wet! Good thing it wasn't cold or else we would've been miserable haha</div>

Before I get into the main parts of this email, we got transfers calls this past S<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1435948740" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">aturday</span></span> and I'll be getting transferred again to one last place for my last two weeks. I'll be heading to hoover, Alabama which is basically Birmingham. I get to be with one of my close friends in the mission so I'm pretty excited!<br clear="all" /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because of the rain, we had to get creative with how to spend our time so that we weren't dripping wt 24/7. We got some good things done though! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Amidst all the rain, Elder Furgeson and I made the decision to get out of the car and play basketball for a couple minutes haha. It was quiet the experience and the seats in the car were wet for the next 3 days!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also went back to teach this referral named Patricia more about the restoration and someone else came to the door and said that Patricia couldn’t talk to us right now cause she was on the phone trying to get her ex husband arrested. Last time we were there she told us about how she read the first chapter in the Book of Mormon. I don’t know if I’ve been reading the same book as her cause what she was explaining definitely isn’t in the first chapter of my Book of Mormon! haha</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1435948741" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Saturday</span></span> we were following up with all our potential investigators and nobody was interested/answering their doors. we had a lady to follow up with named Joann. We had found her in the area book, she had been taught by missionaries a little bit in the past. So we went to the address written on her record and the house looked like it had been abandoned and was right next to one that was definitely abandoned. We figured we might as well try since we were there. We got out of the car and walked towards the door.. We smelled fried chicken and realized someone lived there! Her son answered the door and we asked for Joann and talked to her for a sec. She wants us to come back and said she’d call us from her new number! She hasn’t called yet but we know where she lives now ;)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here in Northport there is an amazing member named Sister Brannon, this week we made her an award because she does so much for the missionaries here and making sure we’re taken care of. She’s the best! She liked it quite a lot, btw when we printed it we didn't expect it to be so big haha so we had to find a larger picture frame than we were planning but it all worked out!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1435948742" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> I got a call and was asked to give a talk my last Sunday in this ward... I knew they were going to try to get me haha. I was asked to speak about the faith of Joseph smith and it went alright! I've given better talks but the meeting was still very powerful. Furgie sneaked some pics of me preparing my talk though so I'll attach those along with all the other pics from the week!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh yeah, we also stumbled upon some intense ghetto ball, one court was full of Hispanics, the other was full of black guys and they were all just balling in the middle of the forests of Alabama on a <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1435948743" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> afternoon.... I'm gonna miss this place! haha </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And lastly, this will be the last weekly email with pics courtesy of Elder Samuel Cooper Fugeson, so I hope y'all enjoy them! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

This week was another good week here in North Port.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

We spent most of the week following up with potential investigators and trying to help people progress. We've found quite a few people but we're struggling finding people who will actually progress... so we've just been finding and dropping and finding and dropping trying to find those who are ready.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

We've had some success with part member families though! We got to have dinner with the family that I told you about last week and it was great! They're such nice people. And after dinner, we got to go for a ride in his Volvo that I mentioned! It was a ton of fun. He's done so much work to it, so it was awesome to ride in. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
haha funny story though, his front seat had something jammed under it so the seat couldn't go forward or backwards for leg room and was actually pushed all the way forward when it got jammed... so I volunteered to take one for the team and sit in the front seat since it was me who mainly wanted to go for a ride haha It was a tight squeeze but i made it work. Furgeson snapped a few pics of the car and what not so I'll attach those. Along with some other random pics from the week:)</div>

We also had interviews this past week which went well. My last normal interview with President Sainsbury, it was surreal. He kept it pretty short though because I'll have my exit interview here shortly. The Sainsbury's are amazing though! I'm so grateful to have been able to spend this year with them serving in the world greatest mission. They're doing great things to this mission and I'm excited to have been a part of it. </div>

Also, a BIG shout out to the worlds best father! Happy Fathers Day Dad! I'm glad to hear you had a good day. I hope your card arrives sometime soon haha </div>

Hey hey hey! I'm back:) Another weekly email for y'all!<br />
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">This past week was good! We were able to stay relatively busy and get quite a bit accomplished! We spent the week mainly finding and we had some success this week. We found a handful of new people to start teaching so we're excited to see where it goes!</span><br />

We met this awesome new part member family as well! The wife is a member her husband is not. We met them the first week I was here and I was so excited because he had a modified Volvo sitting in the drive way! We talked to her though and found out that he wasn't home but she wanted us to come back. So we texted them this past week and found out that they needed help building a swing set! So we went over and helped him build a swing set for his three kids. He's an awesome guy and we were able to talk a lot about cars and what he's done to his Volvo. We ran out of time and had to get to an appointment but he told me he'd take us for rides <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1558677740" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Friday</span></span> when we go to their house for dinner! I'm pretty excited. I'll try to take a pic of it to show y'all. He's done a ton of work to it.<br />
<br /></div>

We also had an exchange in Birmingham area this week and while we were down there I decided that I had to go see one of my favorite families from my mission, the Morris's, one more time before I leave Alabama. So i dropped in an surprised them! It was so cool to see them again. I'm so grateful to have met them and served in their ward, even if it was just for six weeks!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
While on this exchange I had an interesting experience... with a duck hahah</div>
<div>
Archibald the Duck, the be specific... at least that's what I named him! haha so during lunch we went to walk around the lake next to their apartment and I found a baby duck that had been left behind from its mother. I searched high and low to find the family before I picked it up but couldn't find them anywhere. So I scooped him up and carried him around the lake to try to find his family. I found a family of ducks but it turned out not to be his as they attacked him and I had to save him again haha the other ducklings were a bit bigger so it made sense. We couldn't find his family so we took him inside and put him in a box as we try to decide what to do. We decide to go to the computers to try to research how to take care of an abandoned duckling. The results proved to be way to complex for a missionary so we had to make the sad decision to just let him back go around the lake and let him fend for himself. It was sad, and hard because we had all gotten attached to him at this point haha. Good thing we had Elder Furgeson with us to document the whole thing lol pics will be attach! Along with other random pics from our week + more pics from the Alabama Stadium tour:) enjoy!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
haha that's all I've got to report on for this week... till <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1558677741" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">next Monday</span></span>!

Hey guys! This past week was good! Life in a trio is fun and this area is a great area.<br /></div>
My companions are awesome. Elder Furgeson is the man! He's from California, he's an amazing photographer, and he also plays basketball! So we get a long pretty well. Elder Jessen is from Orem, Utah and he's hilarious. He always has something to say haha he keeps us on our toes.<br /></div>
Northport is a great ward and is a pretty big area. There are quite a few towns and a lot of good people! We've spent most of our time working through the lists and trying to find prospective elders, or part member families, or less actives. We have a couple investigators but we haven't really been able to meet with any of them since I've been here but this week we will for sure!<br /></div>
Funny story, we met with a part member/less active family this past week and it was one of the most interesting experiences of my mission haha So we go to these peoples trailer and we bring a member with us. We sit down and just like most people in the south, these people can talk. But that wasn't the crazy thing about this experience... the crazy thing was that the stories he was telling us were absolutely crazy. I'm not going to say that they were all lies because that'd be rude... but ya haha here's what Elder Furgeson wrote about it...<br />"We were visiting a family and the dad talked all about how when he was 13 he was a hired assassin for the military, that he has a Pontiac that runs on jet fuel that can go 300 mph in a quarter mile, and that he crashed his car and it flew off an 80 ft cliff and then 2 miles through a field of corn"<br /></div>
haha it was pretty funny. Gotta love the south! Good thing we were with a really cool member who didn't mind. They also fed us barbecue chicken so it was a good night:)<br /></div>
Well, not much else to tell y'all about but I do have quite a few pics so I hope y'all enjoy them!<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Love you all and I'll talk to you again soon!</span></div>

It's time for yet another weekly email, this one will have some good stuff so I hope y'all are ready haha</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This past week was pretty slow... I'm not sure if I told y'all about this but when I got to Tuscaloosa I found out that Elder Butterfield has been struggling with an ongoing ankle injury that won't stop bugging him. It's been a problem because since we don't have a car, it wasn't able to fully heal or stop hurting him. Because of this we've had to seriously limit what we do and how far we go... meaning we've had to stay in the apartment quite a bit. So since I've been here we've been talking to President about what to do and this past week he decided it would be best to move him somewhere with a car. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So. We're both leaving Tuscaloosa and being put in trios with other elders around this area. I'll be put in a trio with the Northport Elders and he'll be with the Fayette Elders! Another move, i know, kinda crazy but it whats best for Elder Butterfield. The doctors think it could potentially be a torn tendon in his foot but they're not sure. I'm excited to be able to get back to work and be with these two elders. They're both great and it's going to be a lot of fun! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

Tuscaloosa was short lived but it's okay. Its doesn't matter where we serve but how! And I'm going to go to Northport and give it my all these last few weeks! By the way, this is my third trio and I love trios so I'm okay with it haha and for all you keeping track of numbers back home... this will be my 9th area and 17th companion! I'm gettin up there!</div>

I hope y'all had a great week! My week.. was a week, that's for sure haha </span><br />

It's cool to be back together again. The rest of the week was just spent grinding! When I got here I found out that it's a very similar situation to Gadsden... The elders were recently doubled into the area and for the past two transfers have just been tracting and haven't found any success... So I'm trying to do the same thing that was done in Gadsden and try my hardest to get this area going again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_579324391" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in six weeks</span></span>! </div>

<div>
Tuscaloosa is an awesome city though! The support for their school is crazy. The campus is massive and you can tell it's a pretty wealthy school. There are TONS of college students and it's a pretty fun atmosphere. Elder Butterfield and I do not have a car though and we live like four miles from the city so we walk and bike all day hahah and its been seriously humid and starting to get really hot as well which means that we sweat all day also! It's fantastic. For real though... I'm actually grateful that I get to experience this side of missionary work; the physically difficult side. I've been so blessed to have a car throughout most of my mission, especially in the summer, and I'm glad that I'm able to have this experience and be able to learn and grow from it. I'll include a pic of sweaty Honn after an uphill bike ride:) I'll have some serious quads by the end of this haha </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Other than that, I don't have a ton to report on! The work is going here in Tuscaloosa, just very slowly so far haha oh yeah! We went and visited Noccalula falls on Monday after I talked to y'all last week. It was my second time going there but it was still beautiful! I'll throw in some pics of that too:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, I hope you all have a lovely week and I'll talk to you again real soon! </div>

This won't be too long because of skype yesterday but I just wanted to tell everyone else about the news I received <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_409614522" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span>!

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I'm being transferred again! I'll be heading out of Gadsden and moving to Tuscaloosa for my last transfer! I'll be serving with Elder Butterfield again too! If y'all remember, we were together for a transfer in Prattville. I'm really excited! Tuscaloosa is home to the University of Alabama so it's a pretty fun town! Roll tide! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This also means that by the end of my mission, I'll have served in five areas where I only spent a transfer in each area... It's gotta be a new record or something... haha I guess I just cause too much trouble;)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I can't remember if I've used that title for an email before.. it feels familiar but hopefully not haha can't remember at this point... too many weekly emails... <br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Elder Gwira and I are continuing to give it our all to make Gadsden a thriving area again. This week we received a handful of referrals! So basically Heavenly Father threw us a bone for our efforts the last few weeks haha things are coming along! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also got a random text from somebody that neither of us know but that the missionaries used to teach a while back this week! So we've been in contact with them and will hopefully start to teach them this week. All the prayers and fasting from y'all are really paying off... I appreciate it so much! </div>
<div>
The love and support that I've received throughout my mission is truly amazing and words can't describe what it's done for me. Its the little emails or letters that help keep me going and working my hardest! So thank you to everyone who's reached out to me. </div>
<div>

Honestly, not much else to report on from this past week! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1121720804" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span> was Elder Gwira's birthday so we decorated out apartment and surprised him in the morning with presents and a good southern breakfast! We also went to lunch at his favorite place and had dinner with some amazing members who got him cake! He told me it was his first birthday he's celebrated <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1121720805" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in 15 years</span></span>! So I'm very grateful i was able to spend it with him and help make it a day to remember for him. Shout out to my mama for being the best and making his day with the package and cards and what not:) </div>

Hope you've all had a great week. We definitely did here in Gadsden! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_55486833" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Tuesday</span></span> we had interviews with President and they went well! I'm so grateful for President and Sister Sainsbury and all that they do for this mission! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Little piece of news... Zone Trainings have been permanently cancelled! What I heard is that it's because of the increase of meeting such as interviews and zone conferences that came with the new monthly schedule a few months back. So there's now one less meeting to worry about! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_55486834" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span> we had an exchange in Birmingham. I was with Elder Foudy and we had a great day. All of our appointments fell through but we were able to still get some stuff accomplished and have a good time. We were contacting and I saw this black lady working on her garden who for some reason had bags on her feet... so i went up to her and asked if today was "wear bags on your feet day" and I just didn't get the memo? Stupid joke but she had a pretty good laugh over this and we ended up talking to her for about half an hour. Good ole southern ladies that will just talk your ear off! We then had dinner with an awesome family who have always been really close to the missionaries. Families like that are the best, you just instantly feel like you're at home! After dinner, all four missionaries went to their basketball night. The biggest turnout they've had yet.... still not as crazy as prattville but it was good haha </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

Being in an all elder district is interesting... you have to come up with fun activities that the sisters normally take charge on haha but it's still good. There are great elders in this district so it always turn out well. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I don't really have much else to report on! We've still just really been trying to find a solid pool of investigators. We've been working hard and haven't been seeing a ton of success from it, which is always hard but a normal aspect of missionary work period but especially in the south haha! Hence the title of this email... we're trying our hardest to keep pushing and keep working hard so that we can help the work move along in this area. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

Well, the weeks have been flying by so i'll talk to y'all again before we know it! Love yall!</div>

Another week has passed and another weekly email is here. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
This past week was good. We're able to do a ton more stuff with a car! We did quite a lot of service actually! We volunteered at the local library and a cool museum in downtown gadsden! We also worked on a few different peoples yards which obviously is a ton of fun! Workin' on my farmers tan;) haha for one yard we had to transport a lawn mower in the back of our car, and since it's so new and nice we took every precaution we could to make sure it wouldn't hurt the car.... I'll attach some pics:) btw we succeed and didn't harm the car.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We actually had quite a lot of success with finding less actives this week! Our ward has over 700 people in it and only around 100 are active so there's so much work to do in this area with those who have fallen astray! We've recently been working with the Dukes family who are less active and have a couple of unbaptized children. They're an awesome family and we're excited to help them on their journey back to activity.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Y'all probably remember Elder Opare who was a previous companion of mine, well he served here in gadsden as his first area! And this past week we actually found a couple teenage boys who he baptized that had gone astray. We're also working with them now! </div>
<div>
<br />
So as you can tell we're really excited for this area and the people that we've been finding. The power of a car is pretty amazing and has been such a blessing! ... one that i definitely didn't fully appreciate for most of my mission.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Other than that, this week we had the first district meeting of the transfer! It was great. We've started making the training's in meeting more of a discussion set up, similar to <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1157919211" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> school and what not, and I like it a lot! I really focused on having the other elders in our district be involved and lead most of the discussions. We have a few potential leaders in this district so I wanted them to get as many chances to prepare as possible! I took the main discussion which president wanted us to have which was about baptism! Basically just making sure everyone understand all the small things that go into making a baptism successful! I thought it was a really great meeting!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After district meeting Elder Gwira and I walked out to our car and found that we had a completely flat tire! So I got to teach him how to change a tire haha it was hot and we got sweaty but it was fun haha I'll attach some pics of that as well! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well anyways, that's all i've got for this week! I'll talk to y'all again soon:)</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Not much happened this week. Most of the week was spent finding, with not much success there... but hey that's okay. We also were able to attend the temple! We went T<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_133470971" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">hursday</span></span> morning and it was amazing. We also had Zone conference that afternoon so it was a pretty long day.... good day but long. Since I don't have much to report on, I'm dedicating most of this email to pictures (You're welcome mama;)), it'll take a few emails to get them all to you so be patient! These pics are from various times throughout the last two weeks plus today's trip to the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham. My beautiful companion is the star of most of these pics haha Enjoy! </div>

Hope you've all had a great week:) </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you know, this past week was a bit hectic! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1666473662" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Tuesday</span></span> we had Zone Training, the last one that I had to prepare, and it went well! Our Zone was great and i miss all the amazing missionaries that I was able to serve. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1666473663" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Wednesday</span></span> was transfers and that was crazy! That day we had a massive storm covering the whole south. Thunder, tornado warnings, the whole nine yards! But a miracle occurred and the rain stopped just as everyone had to move their luggage. Elder Gwira and I then drove an hour up to Gadsden in the rain. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Elder Gwira is awesome! Like i said he's from Ghana but he lived in D.C for a few years before his mission. He's a great missionary with a ton of potential! He's been on his mission for about five months so I'm really excited to be around him and feed off of his freshness and energy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gadsden is a great area! It's surrounded by rivers and hills which makes it beautiful. It's currently a biking/walking area because of some different reasons but we're making the most of what we've got! Aka houses... Which is what we've spent most of our days doing, knocking houses! Elder Gwira and his last companion were doubled into the area so they had to start fresh, they did a lot of tracting and found hardly any success so we're still starting fresh haha! It's a difficult situation because we're trying to get this area going but without a car and due to our location we're having a hard time with it. All we have is houses within a two mile radius so we're trying to figure out a different way to attack this. This is all new to me too because I've always had a car in each area so I'm learning on the fly as well. It's a big project but I'm excited to be able to end my mission on a note like this. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This ward is great too! It's a small ward but it's full of very nice and welcoming people who love the missionaries. Quite a few missionaries who I've been close to have actually served here as well so it's been cool to talk to the ward about them. Oh yeah! My bishop has actually lived in Hawaii as well! He was the softball coach at BYUH. We went to dinner there last night and had a ton to talk about. His name is Bishop Allred and he knew a ton of the people from our ward. Such a small world! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also... i have pics but just realized that I forgot my camera cord at the apartment so they might have to wait til next week... Sorry!:/ </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, that's all I've got. Talk to y'all next week! </div>

I'm so very grateful for this area and the fantastic people that I've been able to meet and develop relationship with. I've had so many amazing experiences that have have taught me so much and helped my testimony increase even stronger. </div>

As always, it's a mix of emotions because I'm sad to be leaving but I'm really excited for a new adventure in a new area! I've heard a lot of good things about Gadsden and I look forward to working there. 95% sure it will be my last area so I'm planning to give it everything I've got. I'm going to work my hardest for these last two transfer and leave with no regrets of how I finished my mission. I promise that I will sprint through the finish line! <br clear="all" /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Other than that, this past week has been good! Like i said last Monday, we had a lot going on. Interviews were good. The district meetings were good. And MLC was good as well! This week we have Zone Training <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_34594776" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>, then transfers the very next day... It's going to be a crazy few days doing all that and also fitting in goodbyes but I'm looking forward to all of it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I loved conference as well! One of my favorite talks that I thought I'd mention is Elder Bednars that he gave in Priesthood session. I'll include the link and let y'all watch it for yourselves:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/04/media/session_3_talk_4/5381933379001?lang%3Deng&source=gmail&ust=1491342577178000&usg=AFQjCNHVYHRqPfWnDmxz3nhlY3VtGN7mGQ" href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/04/media/session_3_talk_4/5381933379001?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/general-<wbr></wbr>conference/2017/04/media/<wbr></wbr>session_3_talk_4/<wbr></wbr>5381933379001?lang=eng</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I loved it because he taught something that a little over two years ago, I was struggling with myself. And i think a lot of missionaries preparing to go on missions struggle with as well. I testify of what Elder Bednar teaches though... that while we are called to a specific place, our main calling is to serve. Regardless of where. I wish I would've heard this talk back in the summer of 2015 when myself and everyone around me was receiving mission calls. Luckily, I learned this for myself but I hope that his talk can touch the hearts of any young men preparing to serve. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's all I've got for y'all this week! I love you and I'll talk to you again next week! </div>

I apologize for the subject of this email haha it's been an exhausting week. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I hope y'all have had a good week! The weather has been super nice here and has been warming up! </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
This past week has just been a week of grinding (mission term.. meaning hard work). Not really much to report on honestly. We've been struggling to get our investigators fully involved and committed. So we've been focusing most of our free time on finding as much as we can. Those who are prepared to hear our message are out there! We just need to work hard enough to find them. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Something that I wanted to share from this past week is an activity in Preach My Gospel, which is a book designed to help missionaries become better teachers. The activity is within the Christlike Attributes chapter. It's actually a little quiz that helps you gauge where you are in your progression to becoming more like Christ! I've taken the quiz multiple times throughout my mission and it's always helped me realize what exactly I should be working on! I took the test again this past week and chose another attribute that I'm lacking in and it's become my focus for the next period of time. I invite all of you to take the time to take this quiz as well! I found it on LDS.org and will attach a link right here :</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.lds.org/new-era/2016/10/which-christlike-attribute-should-you-work-on?lang%3Deng&source=gmail&ust=1490738308264000&usg=AFQjCNEjiBWgEkETAWR6YOgQhS2ib1k1UA" href="https://www.lds.org/new-era/2016/10/which-christlike-attribute-should-you-work-on?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/new-era/<wbr></wbr>2016/10/which-christlike-<wbr></wbr>attribute-should-you-work-on?<wbr></wbr>lang=eng</a></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br />The purpose of this life is to progress and how can we progress if we aren't even aware of what we need to work on? I promise that as we humbly take this test and try to find ways that we can be more like Christ and draw closer to Him, we will be blessed! In that link there is a paragraph that I love, it says:</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
"One of the beautiful things about the commandment to “press forward” (2 Nephi 31:20) is that it implies a process, a journey. It doesn’t say, “Arrive at perfection right now.” Pressing forward toward eternal life is a step-by-step journey. We become more like Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ by keeping covenants and striving to improve—little by little, attribute by attribute. Which Christlike attribute could you focus on?"</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Well, we have a very busy week planned! Interviews, district meetings, exchanges, MLC, and General Conference! We also receive transfer instructions on Saturday so we'll see what happens with that as well. I hope y'all have a great week and enjoy conference!</div>

Don't have too much time today and not much happened this week worth talking about so I just wanted to share a thought:) </span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Something that I've made my focus these last few weeks is making sure that I fully understand our church doctrine so that the Lord can change me as much as He can in this life. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The quote from my subject line is from Boyd K Packer and goes on to say:</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
“The study of the doctrines of the gospel will<br />
<div>
improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior</div>
<div>
will improve behavior. … That is why we stress so</div>
<div>
forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I've been in Alabama serving the Lord, I've noticed this in my life and in the lives of others. I've also seen when people made changes by themselves and didn't fully understand the doctrine and ended up reverting back to their old ways... and nothing is harder to watch to watch than just that. So! I challenge all of you to study the basics! Just because they're the basics of our beliefs doesn't mean we don't continue to learn from them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a link to the rest of the talk which I hope you'll all watch or study:) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1986/10/little-children?lang%3Deng&source=gmail&ust=1490139538696000&usg=AFQjCNHKlTwolPt-_OkY7xkkGQKeVBqqWQ" href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1986/10/little-children?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/general-<wbr></wbr>conference/1986/10/little-<wbr></wbr>children?lang=eng</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now if you're wondering what true doctrine is and how we find it... I've got a talk for that too! haha </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.lds.org/broadcasts/article/ces-devotionals/2013/01/what-is-truth?lang%3Deng&source=gmail&ust=1490139538696000&usg=AFQjCNE24S8YYUOv9SWYNJIh6j0NxN9UMw" href="https://www.lds.org/broadcasts/article/ces-devotionals/2013/01/what-is-truth?lang=eng" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://www.lds.org/<wbr></wbr>broadcasts/article/ces-<wbr></wbr>devotionals/2013/01/what-is-<wbr></wbr>truth?lang=eng</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I probably don't say this enough but... thank you! Thank you for the love and for the support that y'all have showed me this whole time that I've been away. All the cards, emails, packages.... I appreciate them all so much! I have an amazing family and great friends and don't know what I would do without y'all!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to you again soon! </div>

I hope y'all enjoyed the little math problem for the title of this email, send me your answers and I'll grade your work;) </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Elder Matthews and I had another good week! Very busy and tiring week but it was still a great week. I'll stick with the main points from the week though! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1754042239" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> was a pretty crazy day! We started off the day by waking up at five to go to seminary and teach the kids with all the missionaries in our district. We taught about Romans 5 and 6 which speaks about the lust of the flesh vs the fruit of the spirit! It was a lot of fun but i havent been up that early in a while.. We then went directly to a Zone Conference! We trained/taught at the Conference as well which went really well. We trained on getting members excited for missionary work. One of the main points of our training was a dinner appointment role play where we pulled President and Sister Sainsbury into it to spice things up. The training went really well though and the two Zone's said they loved it! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So the days before <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1754042240" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> were mainly spent planning for those two trainings. Then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1754042241" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span>-Saturday we were on an exchange with the Millbrook elders but we had to cut it short to take care of some stuff with a companionship in the Zone. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Then Yesterday we had Stake Conference which was great as well. A member bore his testimony about his difficulties with being addicted to alcohol and his journey back to the church and the Savior and it was extremely touching! Later that night we ate dinner with the Fenns and I love that family so much. I'm going to miss them a lot when I leave Pville! Sister Fenn made me my favorite chicken wings and I almost died because of how many I ate.... </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Then today we had our Zone Activity! We went to the Big Fish set in Millbrook and played Capture the flag! I can't remember if I told you about this set a few months ago but it's basically an abandoned town so it was a perfect place to play capture the flag! We took plenty of pics so I'll attach a few:) </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
And that's all I've got to report on for this week! I love you all and I'll talk to you again soon:) </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">MLC was great! We were there for most the day then got stuck in Birmingham traffic so we didn't get back till late. We went straight to basketball and had a great time! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next day was spent planning Zone training. This had to have been the most i've ever planned and prepared for a meeting. We wanted to really hit home with our theme of Ohana and we went all out. I'm talking leis, tikis, hawaiian music, and even a beta fish as our mascot! (don't worry, the senior couple is taking care of it because we're not allowed to haha) but anyways it turned out to be a great meeting that the whole zone loved. I'll attach a pic of post zone training five guys! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The rest of the week was spent doing all we could to move this work forward in Prattville. We were able to set a baptismal date with a really cool kid that we've been teaching named Dee. We actually met him and got to know him through basketball and a less active boy that's his best friend! We're pretty excited for him if y'all could keep him in your prayers! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Elder Matthews and I are having a great time! He's such a fantastic missionary. Always wanting to be perfectly obedient and work his hardest. He keeps me laughing non stop too so it's been a lot of fun. He's teaching me a lot as well. He has a great understanding and knowledge of the doctrine of our church and it's been a blessing to serve with him already. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I was shown an amazing video about the First Vision that I thought I would include for anyone who hasn't been able to see it yet. It's so powerful and I felt the spirit very strongly as I watched it and promise that you will as well. </span></div>

He truly was visited by Heavenly and his son Jesus Christ and given the sacred responsibility of restoring the True and Living Church back onto the earth today!

Life here in Alabama is still lovely. It's starting to warm up and I actually got some color on my skin at soccer <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1191991136" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> so that's a miracle haha I was getting tired of blending into my white shirts... </div>

As y'all know, transfers were this past week! Said goodbye to Elder Coleman and Butterfield and hello to Elder Matthews. We had a great week! Did quite a bit of planning for the Zone this transfer the first couple days. We planned a theme and planned weekly and daily challenges/sub-themes to be able to keep the focus on the bigger picture of the transfer theme. Our theme this transfer is Ohana! And as we know, thanks to Lilo and Stitch, Ohana means family and family means that nobody get left behind or forgotten! So this transfer we're focusing on family! Being a family in our zone, and helping others obtain their Ohana Mau Loa, or Eternal Family! We're really looking forward to all that this transfer will hold and I know that we'll see amazing things happen in our Zone because of this goal. </div>

Funny little side story from my time with Elder Matthews so far. Yesterday we were driving to an appointment and following up with people along the way. As we were driving Elder Matthews spotted a chick-fil-a car! Elder Matthews and I both have an unhealthy obsession for Chick-fil-a so we stopped the car, jumped out, knocked on his door, and he ended up being a past investigator who never fully had all his questions answered! So we proceeded to have a lesson right there, on the doorstep of a Chick-fil-a store manager/owner. We're planning on going back in a few weeks and answering some more questions... along with possibly trying to get some gift cards or something haha</div>

Another funny little story from this past week. I'm actually going to quote Elder Ramsey who is serving in our district. He did a pretty good job of describing our experience haha He called it the "Funeral Fumble".... Enjoy;) </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

"They invited us to a funeral service for a woman who had died out of state, but wanted to be buried in the Millbrook area. She was 81 years old and they weren't expecting more than a few family members to show up, so they needed help saying prayers, a musical number, and dedicating the grave. We showed up <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1191991137" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> for the funeral. We had the Zone Leaders, Elders Honn and Matthews with us and the Millbrook Sisters, Chavez and Saatkamp. We were originally just going to be saying a prayer and the Sisters were going to sing "I Stand All Amazed," but there was a change of program. All the missionaries were going to be singing the song instead as an opening, and just the Sisters were going to sing a closing song. The casket was brought in and the service began. We came to the front to sing, and I realized that there wasn't a piano in the room. Instead, there was a music track that began to play over the speakers. As we began to sing, other voices joined in... from the track. Our worst nightmare when we haven't practiced before. What's worse is that it was pretty quiet and it was going faster then it would normally be sung in church. We were off beat... badly. It honestly sound kind of creepy too as we were in dissonance with the track. The ten family members that were there looked stone faced... finally the song ended and we all sat down. The service resumed. And then it was time for the Sisters to get up for the closing song. They started and the same issues as before arose. We Elders tried, desperately, not to laugh. Some crouched their heads down below the pews. And others (including myself) bit their tongues and tried not to make eye contact. I looked over at the family, and they were doing the same at this point. Which at least made us feel slightly better about the whole thing. The Dedicatory Prayer was given at the grave site, and the service was done. This was an event that the Millbrook District won't soon forget."</div>

It's me again... I bet you're all probably sick of these weekly emails by now haha I don't even know how many I've sent but it feels like too many! But don't worry... there's not too many left;) </span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Well! This past week was good! I can only remember chunks of it so I'll tell you about what I remember haha </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
We held Zone Training on Tuesday and it went really well! All the trainings were great and the zone really loved it. Everyone seemed especially tired that day but there was still good participation! We had a special training from a legend here in the Montgomery Stake, President Memory. He served his mission in Alabama and also served in the mission Presidency later in his life and now lives here and does a ton for the missionary work in this stake. Anyways, he trained us on the events in Christs life leading up to his crucifixion from each of the different gospels. He brought and set up this whole demonstrations of what the last supper actually was like and it was fascinating. He had Elder Coleman and I demonstrate how Jesus and the Disciples actually sat around the table. haha I'll attach the picture that someone sneakily took from the audience.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Directly after ZTraining we headed up to Birmingham and had an exchange with some Elders up there. I got to spend time with Elder Diede again and it was a great day! He's still doing great. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The rest of the week was spent with our investigators and finding. We went out to eat with Jared and spent some time with him and he came to church on Sunday! Then last night we went and spent time with him and Lacey. Such great people! </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
We also received transfer news on Saturday and found out that I'm staying another transfer here in Prattville and that both my companions are leaving! haha was not expecting that... but I know that President Sainsbury is inspired and that the Lord wants me to be here for another six weeks. I've just got to work my hardest to not slip into the comfort zone! This means that I'll be in this area for 7 1/2 months... and as my title says, they might as well have just given me a calling at this point haha!</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Going to miss my boys here in the Inverted Oreo though, it's been a great transfer together! I'll attach our last pic together with the amazing Mama Fenn who I'm very happy that I won't be leaving just yet. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
So as you can tell our week was definitely full. We were still able to fit in a lot of good work though! We met a ton of great people that we're going to start working with, including a 14 year old boy who was baptized last year but then dropped off the face of the earth. We found him in the ghetto playing basketball! We didn't know it was him but we went over and started playing with a few guys and he said he was a member! He came to church yesterday too! So we're going to continue to work on getting him back involved and he also has a friend who is interested as well that we're going to try to start teaching! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Anyways, back to <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1278306518" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span>. TJ's baptism went through and it was a great day! It wasn't your average baptism though haha when he decided he wanted to be baptized he said in his words "Just dunk me and we'll come back and eat steak." Haha so basically he went on to say that he didn't really want a service... he didn't want the talks or the other stuff and he wanted it to be a private thing. So that's what we did! There were I think like six of the closest members to him, including President and Sister Sainsbury, and we said an opening prayer, did the baptism, then said a closing! That simple. It wasn't the baptism that i'm used to but it was still an amazing experience that focused on the pure, simple, beauty of baptism. I'm very grateful for the opportunity that i've had to know Tj and watch him make the incredible change from atheist the LDS, It's been a huge testimony strengthener for me. I'll attach a picture that we took with his favorite picture in the church haha the hallways were small so ignore the closeness of the picture.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Today's been great as well. We had a zone activity and played Capture the Flag in the bamboo forest in Prattville. It was a blast and nobody got hurt too bad so I'd say it was a successful activity! I'll attach a picture of that as well. BTW the Elder that's poking his head out from behind a few sisters on the top right is Elder Craddock. Apparently Elder Craddock's grandparents just fed Elder Phillips who is a close friend that's killing it on his mission in Spain! Such a small world... Shout out to my boy across the pond, love you man! </div>

How was y'alls week? I wonder if weeks fly for y'all like they do for me... it's crazy! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br />
We started out this past week with a ton of service! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1318436122" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Tuesday</span></span> we helped paint somebodies new home that they are moving into. It's crazy how many different skills you learn on a mission haha carpentry, painting, how to maneuver a massive piece of furniture out of a considerably smaller door, etc. Cool stuff haha </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also began a serious project at an older less active lady's home. Hasn't been cleaned in years, has more cats than the stripling warriors, and hates to throw things away... So needless to say, the six missionaries and I had our hands full! But we attacked quite a big chunk of the project and were able to help her a lot. The only struggle is that in this area they won't take garbage unless it's actually in the big garbage bin outside. We threw away quite a lot of stuff so measures had to be taken in order to fit everything in the garbage... I'll attach a picture of me doing what had to be done. haha enjoy:)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The rest of our week included a great Zone Conference! Elder Butterfield, Elder Coleman and I were able to train on helping members be involved in an investigators conversion. It went really well and the rest of the training's were great also. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Also, TJ's baptism is still set for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1318436123" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Saturday</span></span> and we're really excited for him and all the changes he's making in his life. Jared and lacy are still doing really well and we're meeting with them tonight for dinner and a lesson:) This past week we met and started teaching a new family who are awesome! Crazy thing too is that the mother is actually from England! So we had a lot to talk about. And we're going back there the end of this week to meet with them again and also have dinner. I don't know why but i guess people just enjoy feeding us or something haha even non members! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Speaking of food, I'll attach a picture of a lunch we had this past week that I was pretty proud of:) Stuffed bell peppers.... </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Anyways, that's all I've got for this past week! We've got a very busy upcoming week so we'll see how everything goes! I'll talk to y'all later! </div>

I hope y'all had a good week. The weeks continue to fly by for us, it's crazy how quickly time is going! We've had another good week. </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The Prattville trio (or the inverted oreo) is having a blast right now. We're continuing to work our hardest and seeing amazing results because of it. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
A while back we decided to get basketball up and going again. We invited a ton of people, both members and non members, and we had a great turnout! We had around twenty people show up and it was a ton of fun. The purpose behind having a basketball night is not just to get a good workout and have some fun but to mainly help people feel comfortable being in the church. It's also very useful to fellowship your investigators with members. So we're looking forward to seeing where this goes! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also had a worldwide missionary broadcast this past week and it was really good. They reviewed last years broadcast for a while then told us of a number of changes that are being made in our missionary lives. The main changes being 1) A couple hours extra on our Preparation day 2) We now plan in the mornings instead of at night which allows us to 3) now have the option to go to bed an hour earlier at night for extra rest. Oh yeah and the last thing is that our study schedule is a bit more flexible now. So yeah! Nothing too big but just a few changes to make our lives a little easier and help missionaries handle their days better.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We also had a pretty cool experience with Tj this past week. He decided it was time for him to be baptized to be able to have a fresh start in his life. So we figured out a date together and are working toward that day! It's been a really cool experience to be able to see this massive change in his life. It's also amazing how Heavenly Father will take the reigns and change everything so that someone can come closer to Him. We're very excited for him and looking forward to these next few weeks leading up to his baptism!</div>

Not Even Tornadoes! -January 24th, 2017<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hey everyone! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We've had a crazy and amazing week here! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We've had tornadoes all weekend down here in the Montgomery area. Thankfully none did too much damage and all our missionaries are safe! It's been funny because we are instructed that during the event of a tornado warning we are to get in the bath tub with our bike helmets on and a mattress covering us... We have three men living in our apartment and one bathroom. At least two of us would definitely be blown away in the event of a tornadoes if we attempted to squeeze in our five foot bathtub haha so it's a good thing we didn't have to do that! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<div>
We saw many mighty miracles wrought in this land as we worked our hardest to proclaim the gospel to His children here! We've met some amazing people who we are very excited to work with. Including a part member couple named Jared and Lacy who love us! We were amazed that no missionaries had tried to visit them for years! He's been inactive for a long time but grew up in the church and wants us to teach his wife and answer all her questions. We're really excited to work with them! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the main people that we've been working with and that I've been close to since i got to Prattville, named TJ, also ended up having his girlfriend move out due to situations and now is able to get baptized! The Lord has a plan for everyone and is leading this work! I'm so grateful to be a part of it!! He and his girlfriend, Mary, and the rest of their "family" are some of the most amazing people that I'm so grateful to know and be close to. They've both done so much for us and been the closest thing to family for me here in this area! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We had yet another great week. Stayed very busy the whole time. We had transfer at the beginning of the week where we had to take some missionaries without a car to and back from Birmingham. Next we had MLC back up in Birmingham. It was a great meeting, we talked a lot about the importance of following up with commitments that we make with investigators. Which we'll be delivery to our zone <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1230141485" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> during Zone Training! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Then after MLC we were informed that we would be put into a trio! So the next day we drove and picked up Elder Butterfield to be with us! He's a great missionary and we're really excited to have him with us! We're trying to figure out a good nickname for our companionship and haven't really come up with anything good yet. The only idea is "The Inverted Oreo" and that's obviously not the best... so if anyone has any idea, let me know;)</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We had a pretty cool experience yesterday! We were able to be a part of a massive service project in Montgomery for MLK day. There was a huge group of people that got together and attacked a few different project to help clean up and area. Our group of missionaries tackled street cleanup! We all had a great time. It was amazing seeing so many faiths come together in a unity of love and kindness. All of us trying to be a little more like Christ by serving others and the city of Montgomery. I'm so grateful to be able to have opportunities like that because of this time I have in Alabama.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
In other news, last week we also had like 35 people come to soccer so it was a ton of fun! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
