Newman, Kade

Hello everyone sorry for the lack of an email last week it was a hectic pday! But I have so many updates I am now in the heart of Oakland and am now a district leader! Being a district leader is kind of hard so far haha leading district councils are stressful and I literally just have so much love for every single missionary in my district I just want all of them to be successful and want them to feel the joy of missionary work. Ofc leaving my first area in Richmond and leaving the hilltop ward wasn't easy I truly built a strong relationship with all of my friends and members there so it was hard But it's all part of the mission experience sadly.  But this new area is amazing! Amazing in the way that there's alot of missionary work to do not amazingly safe or pretty to look at in some parts but it's amazing! And this ward here is absolutely amazing so many loving members and its so diverse it's crazy. The Utah folk would probably drop their jaws but I surely love it...

Hello everyone this is going to be a very short email so I'm sorry!  Pdays are busy and especially when we gotta get to work after!  But the big updates is that I don't think I've ever been happier in my life. I really feel like I'm making a difference and that the lord is working through missionaries everywhere! It's been really refreshing knowing all I have to worry about right now is missionary work. Don't get me wrong it's hard But it's the best thing I could be doing right now and it's the greatest work on earth in the history of the world! How lucky am I to have a part!  Spiritual thought today is from Mathew 5. I love the sermon on the mount and I love how simply christ teaches us and how he expects alot from us. Being perfect? Nah you got the wrong guy. But it's possible through him. We can achieve it one day and we can live with our father in heaven. So do what the prophet says and get your family and think Celestial!! I love you all so ...

Hey everyone! I hope you're all having a great morning and great start to the week!  This week in the field has been amazing everything has just flown by. This week was pretty eventful lots of hard work and lots of blessings starting to show! First something that's been amazing is the big family that we've started teaching have been amazing! They're starting to add the book of Mormon onto their scripture study that they already have as a family every night! And 2 of the older teenagers have expressed a desire to be baptized so we were able to invite them to be baptized and they accepted! Their date is January 1st because they said they want to start the new year right! We are so amazed by their faith already!  So besides that amazing family we've also gotten in touch with an old referral we got from missionaries in Oakland and needless to say the referrals from these specific missionaries are known for not being real or the people having 0 interest or just wanting t...

Sorry for the very late and short email but highlights from this week  We found a family of 7 and have already had 2 lessons with them and have invited them to pray about baptism so that was a big tender mercy! My comp Elder Jacox is literally so amazing and he helps me out so much for being brand new which is helpfully being a first time trainer  I gave my first priesthood blessing in Spanish on exchanges so that was a new experience for me! And the mother of my future God child bought me and my comp 49ers shirts so sorry fam but I have to be part of the niner gang for now but go cards! If you want photos join the Google photos link! I love and miss you all until next week!

Hello everyone sorry for the late email crazy pday but I'll keep it short  Being a trainer in the 3rd transfer keeps me on my toes but I literally love my comp to death and he loves doing the work so all is well with that. But besides this week was covered with lots of meetings with new missionaries and training.  Besides the boring stuff I've had some success getting Elder Jacox into the mission world in Richmond! We got to see one of my favorite friends miss Laura and she literally asked me to be her new babies God daughter! I didn't know what to say feeling honored I obviously said yes so guess I'm gonna be a Godfather! Don't know what that entails I'll keep yall updated.  Regarding the title of the email I've just grown to love the gospel serving the people here and serving my savior this truly is a great work. I'm so glad for the opportunity to repent daily it really is true joy! I love the gospel and that it blesses families for all eternity! I lov...
