Hello Everyone! Its been so so awesome here in SF! Here are some updates!  I'm still loving my comp Elder Huston! We've been grinding all week trying to find new people and get in contact with Referals! Let's just say the lord is hastening his work!  We had Zone Conference this week and I'm just so grateful for our mission leaders and their love for us. They are very inspired!  We found this week a new friend named Roger. Roger is definitely elect. We got a referral from him Saturday and visited him right away. We invited him to church and he came! Then he pulled up to the Why I beleive event. Which is recent converts who share their testimonies. And he loved it. I also love our ward bc they just invited him without us even knowing! It was awesome!  We've been working with the Badir fam as well! They recently moved from Jordan and they're the most adorable fam ever! They recently got baptized and their faith is inspiring! Being a Christian in their home country ...

Wow what a great week! Ima make it quick but here are the major updates! Our friend Chris we are teaching is actually slowly understanding the lessons we are teaching. We also lowkey figured out he doesn't understand English haha. So I started teaching him how to pray in Spanish and he's a natural! Shout out the gift of tongues bc I didn't think I would actually teach people in Spanish on my mish. But it's been happening a lot recently!  Our friend Belinda might be the sweetest lady in the world! We went over twice in the past week for dinner and she makes the best food ever. We went yesterday and she said "welcome home sons!" She's the sweetest!  Also my comp Elder Huston might be my best friend! He's so funny and we have the same humor it's a dangerous combo. But he also wants to work so hard and is pushing me a lot to work hard! Which has been amazing! We're seeing a lot of miracles unfold in our area!  God loves you and so do I!  Photos.......

Good morning Everyone!! And sorry ive been sending emails like every other week! Lol ill do better! But it's been an amazing week! And can't wait to get Into it. This week we had transfers. And sadly my comp Elder Wolthuis left me for the Netherlands! I was sad to see him go but was so so hyped for him to go to his original assignment! But I'm so grateful for my time with him he truly was a friend to me and a baller comp! But during transfers I got to be temporary companions with Elder Patterson and he was heading out as well. He finally finished his mission and it was just really amazing to spend some time with him before he left. But he's going to BYU so I'll see him for sure on the weekends in Utah!  Also other big unrelated news...I decided to play baseball next semester at USU eastern so I'm hyped about that!  But on transfer day I got to pick up a greenie! His name is Elder Huston and he's a fisherman from Alaska! He's literally so cool! We right a...

Sheesh well lots has happened these last two weeks!  First the bad news. Our friend max who was so cool and so elect called us up last week and said he didn't want to get baptized and meet with us anymore. So prayers up for max that he finds his way back to us!! We still have contact with him but I think someone showed him anti. Devil works hard but we work harder!  Great news is our friend Kelly is gonna get baptized this Saturday!! She's been coming to church the last couple of weeks and we took her to see a baptism. After that she wanted to be dunked too! Let's go!!! Mostly bc she wanted it to get it done before Elder Wolthuis dips for the Netherlands! So we meeting with her like 3 times thus week before the baptism! So hopefully it goes good prayers up for Kelly! I love my brostrict bc after anyone in the district has a baptism we go to B-dubs and get some wings! Haha! Which is crazy bc we have a baptism like once a week in this district haha! It's crazy A pretty cr...

Wow I haven't updated in 2 weeks and lots has happened since then! I'm still here in San Francisco! And it's been amazing walking the streets of San Fran. The people aren't the nicest but I don't think I've ever had as much fun as a missionary as I do in the city!  A week and a half ago i got a new companion Elder Walthuis who is a brand new missionary from Utah! He's a visa waiter learning Dutch so he can go to the Netherlands! He's a beast. I keep forgetting he's a brand new missionary because he knows the doctrine well and isn't scared to go out there and preach to the people! Sf is a crazy place for a green missionary to be but He's killing it. We do a lot of street contacting finding a lot of times near or in golden gate park or around Haight and Ashbury street because there's always so many people walking around. Lots of tourists too. And surprisingly a lot of confrontational ex-members! But also some of the sweetest people I've...
