Hey everyone!!!
This week has been good! Elder Barton was back on his feet so we had a
good week!
We had a zone conference, which is like a huge meeting with half of
the mission and the mission presidency gave some really good talks
about repentance and change. It was super good. Also Elder Barton
got us matching ties so we wore those to the meeting!
This week we also got our transfer info! And elder Barton is getting
transferred to Saint Johns.... in Vancouver  so that's kinda
funny! I'm staying in Saint Johns in Portland and I'm getting a brand
new missionary as a companion who I'm gonna be training which is
kinda nerve racking because I'm just finishing training!  But the
Lord knows what he's doing so I'll just trust in him and do my best!
Pray for me!
How's everyone doing? I love you all! Talk to you next week!

Hey everyone!!!! How's the week going for y'all? This week has been pretty good for us! We had a broadcast this week and our schedule changed up some!! We have and extra 2 hrs on PDAY! And planning  moved to the morning! And we have more freedom with study time but other than that not too much! We also had a chance to meet with some of our people this week and it was really good. We had really good lessons with some of our new investigators! One of them is our neighbor like two houses away from us!  Her name is Ashley! She is a really nice lady! Has three daughters! And the other investigator's name is Mary. She's is also super nice and she has two daughters and a son that are all pretty little!   So we had really good lessons with both of them and they both accepted baptismal invites so that's sweet. Other than that not much happened! 

Here is a list of talks I read and liked:

"Settle This in Your Hearts”

    Neal A. Maxwell

October 1992

"Behold, the Enemy Is Combined” (D&C 38:12)

April 1993 general Conference 

    Neal A. Maxwell

“Take Especial Care of Your Family”

    Neal A. Maxwell

April 1994 general Conference 

“Brightness of Hope”

    Neal A. Maxwell

October 1994 general Conference 

 "Deny Yourselves of All Ungodliness”

    Neal A. Maxwell

April 1995 general Conference.  

"Swallowed Up in the Will of the Father”

    Neal A. Maxwell

October 1995 general Conference

Also Ether 12!! 

Also one thing I learned from the missionary broadcast was that the gospel shouldn't be viewed as a bunch of different topics or anything like that. It's all connected and it's all supporting of each other! If we have faith in Jesus and His atonement it'll lead us to repent and so on. It's all connected!  

Let me know if y'all have any questions or anything! 

Love ya talk to you next week!
