 Have I ever said that weeks and days just fly by? Holy Moly, I barely remember this week. It just was over! It was good! Definitely good. How was your week? Anything cool or exciting?
Mine was just a blur, I seem to keep reiterating that, we had several appointments throughout the week fall through, but we just replaced that time with finding, and even though we got poured on a couple times when we were out walking around or tracting, it was pretty fun. I can't even say I've had a boring day today. 

 We've specifically been using the Christmas video, and it's just so awesome, being able to
share that with others! Did anyone get to see the Christmas Devotional? That was pretty awesome!
 I don't have much else to say, but I would like to express my love for the Savior in the most straightforward way I can, HE LIVES. I know it, and I love him for it! Everyday, I wish I could be who he wants me to be, and I keep working on it. I wish I could help everyone I talk to
feel the same way for the Savior as I do now! He is always there, and will never leave us! He is there and loves us. Loves me, and loves you.
 Have an amazing week everyone!

 Hello Everyone! How was your week? Mine was good, it just flew by. I mean like holy cow. There is an awesome new Christmas video out that I would urge everyone to watch, it is so cool! #ASaviorIsBorn, I love this video! I can't express how much I love it, I just know that the message it contains is true! 
 My week has been good, Thanksgiving was fun. We had two meal appointments, and unlike last year, I decided to pace myself and not just gorge. So, that all went well. I wasn't bursting at the seams like I was last year, so that was definitely an improvement! Also, we are low on miles, so we've been walking around a lot, so I'm sure that has helped keep my metabolism moving enough to be able to handle large amounts of food like that! This week, well, remember how I said there was snow? Yeah, not anymore. It is all gone now. The snow lasted for a few days and then disappeared. It is still cold, like in the 20s and maybe 30s, but no snow. Very odd for this time of year! Anyways, I know this church is true, I know that it is Christ's church here on the Earth! I know our Savior was born so that we can live. I know he loves us and watches over us no matter where we are, or where we have been. I love this time of year and being able to reflect on the mission of Jesus Christ, a few of you told me that I would love the Holidays on my mission, not only because of the opportunity coming up to Skype home, but also the just overwhelming amount of love and giving that we all display. I know that as we serve others, we'll be able to feel of God's love for them, and for us. Have a great week everyone!

 Yup. Snow is here! Woke up this morning to a nice layer of snow out here in Dover-Foxcroft Maine! Woah! As far north in the NHMM as I can go! I'm super excited! This week was good! How was yours?
 We had some awesome stuff happen this week, we stacked hay bales on Tuesday, my first day here, while at a horse farm! That was awesome! Followed by a week of tracting and finding, but also with some amazing lessons with investigators and less actives. 

 I'm super excited for winter, and also the fact that every once and a while the missionaries
go to help a member milk his 150+ dairy cows. I think I spent a little too much time with my trainer, cows are awesome. 

 Anyways, that's all I can think of have an awesome week everyone! I know this church is
true, and that the Book of Mormon will bring us closer to God and to Christ if we study and live the principles taught in it!




 Well, I'm moving on from Machias! I've been called to serve as a district leader, so I'll teach and help out the elders and sisters in a certain area here in the mission. This should be interesting!
 Other than that, how has your week been? Anything cool or exciting? I'm doing well, and can't wait for this next transfer! The week has just flown by, first we had some awesome service at a less active members house. They have about eight pigs, one that is 200+ pounds! My companion had a dream about a pig that size a few weeks ago, then we found it! Haha! Then we had an exchange with the zone leaders, and that just all flew by.        

 We met with several less active members this week, and we taught them all the message of the Restoration. It was way awesome seeing them reinvigorated by that message. The spirit was always so strong in those lessons. I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of
God, and I know that the Book of Mormon is true. God is our loving Heavenly Father and cares about each and every one of us. I know by the power of the Holy Ghost that these things are true. Jesus Christ lives and he is our Savior!
 Have a wonderful week everyone!

 Well, after near 500 miles of traveling and about 3 days worth of meetings, the excitement has all died down again to rest a little more back into the normal missionary schedule.            
 Anyways, on Friday we were  able to hear from Elder Nielson of the Quorum of the 70. That was pretty cool. He spoke a lot on missionary work and how in the missionary department of the church, they have seen what is most effective. So that really helped get a lot of us missionaries energized and ready to work! Then we had stake conference Saturday
night and Sunday morning. So, the meeting on Friday we spent near 8-9 driving there and back, and also near 4 hours each, there and back for both the Saturday meeting and Sunday meeting. So a whopping total of near 16 hours spent in a car over the past few days. Sheesh. It was still a blast though. I learned a ton and can't wait to apply it into
missionary work!
 But, before all of that, we happened to find some Alpacas, explored a graveyard a little, and also took pictures of a beach when we were in the area! So the week was pretty adventurous! Hope everyone has a good week! The church is true everyone! I know it! Talk to you all next week!



And still a goofball....


 Hey everyone! How was Halloween? Ours was spent by cleaning the apartment! It was better than expected!  Just a quick email today with some pictures of the adventures here in Machias! Have a great week everyone! I know Jesus Christ is our Savior, and that the Book of Mormon is true! Also the lighthouse is in Canada! We got super close again!


 It just keeps getting faster. This is all so weird. So, this week was pretty interesting. But before I get into at, how was your week? Anything new and exciting? Anything awesome coming up? Hope all is well!
  Now, my week has been interesting because,
1. We went on exchange, so I was working here in my area with an elder from another area, and while on exchange, we got a new investigator, he had some interesting views that didn't really agree with what the church had stated so we had to drop him because he wasn't willing to change.
2. We just had Zone Interviews, where we have a one on one interview with Pres. Stoker, that was pretty fun.
3. We spoke at church, without realizing we were the speakers, so that was fun. One of the branch presidency members asked us if we had our talks ready for Sunday, on Friday, and we thought he was joking so didn't pay any heed to it. Then come Sunday morning as we are preparing the sacrament, and he comes in again and asks us who is going first. We were still unsure if he was joking or not. So we scrambled to piece together some talks, which turned out better than we had expected and the congregation actually liked them!
  Other than that it's been a good week! I know the church is true! Our leaders are inspired from God, they are still human and make mistakes, but I know they are called of God. Have an awesome week everyone!
