Yes I'm A Dad

Hello everyone how's everyone doing? 


It's been a pretty good week but I did have to say bye to Elder Hsu but I got a new comp! My new comp is Elder Jacox from somewhere in Utah I've never heard of haha. This is Elder Jacox first time leaving Utah and he never even been on a plane before so that's crazy. It's gonna be interesting for sure since I've never trained before but I'm going with faith! 


This week was pretty hard because one of our members who we saw multiple times a week passed away and I've been feeling it. One of the hardest things I think I ever had to do was to go to the families house to give them blessings and keep my emotions under control during the blessings it was hard. I'm actually so glad Elder Jacox was there because I wasn't myself I was really emotional and he kept us grounded for sure I'm thankful for that. Besides that it was a good week just trying to get Elder Jacox settled. 


A big lesson I learned from this week is the important role that the priesthood plays here on earth. Here we were to help this family as priesthood holders because the only priesthood holder in their family had passed away. But we were able to be there to bless them and one of our members were able to be there to minister to them and it was what they needed. It was emotional but the spirit was so strong


I miss you all and love you all! 
Till next week!

Hey Everyone! Just checking back in after an amazing weekend of REVELATION! I love General Conference and the inspiring messages! I hope you were all able to tune in at some point and if you couldn't watch it watch it rn! The prophets voice is so powerful! After hearing his address there was a little bit of a sense that the second coming of christ is coming A LOT sooner than we may think! But also big news! A NEW TEMPLE IN QUEEN CREEK! I literally called it! Great to see the old hometown getting a house of the lord!  Besides conference this week was a good one! We had zone conference and it was focused on using the scriptures while teaching the doctrine of christ! So many scriptures that I wrote down!! Also this week in Oakland has been HOTTT. it's been getting up to 100 degrees in the bay which is unusual here. Usually I wouldn't complain. Bc I'm an AZ kid but when you live in the top apartment with no AC it's a bummer!  Anyways a crazy miracle is our new friend Co...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  This week was so fast but it was a good one lots of miracles! A cool miracle was we met an innactive member earlier this week and we just had dinner with her tonight and gave her a blessing and she's coming to church this week! It was a miracle because we were tracting and happened to knock on her door she was so happy to see us and almost started crying! Just goes to show the lord truly guides us missionaries!  Our friend Christopher didn't end up getting baptized this weekend. Everything is OK though he is still going to get baptized just needs more time understanding things and we are having daily contacts with him to help him! He's just come so far from where he used to be and he's going to continue to grow because that's one of the blessings that comes from the atonement and something that can truly change us when we use it. Only the purest joys can come through sincere repentance! I just love Christopher let's all pray I don't...
