Yup, that's right. I ended up in the Hospital yet again with my companion. This time my companion flew over his handles on his bike and crash landed onto the pavement breaking bones in both of his elbows and his left wrist. Oh joy. So basically I've been in the apartment since Wednesday. Just had the cast put onto his left arm, which is worse than his right, so now we can actually work a little bit this upcoming week!

Tuesday however was awesome! We had a great Zone Conference! Learned a ton from trainings by not only the Mission President, but also several in the Mission Presidency and others that had been assigned to speak. The spirit that is felt in the chapel with 50 plus missionaries is always reinvigorating and refreshing.

Anyways, we're nearly back into the season of splitting wood. Meaning that summer is just about over and it is going to get cold again. Great. I was kind of excited for it though. Here comes the winter! I really am just excited for the splitting. Makes you feel quite manly when you swing an axe into a chunk of wood! Anyways, that's all I have this week! The church is true everyone! Nothing can stop God's work from progressing!

Have a great week!

Hey hey everyone! How are you? Anything new going on? How was Father's Day for everyone? Anything big and exciting coming up this week? Anything that is worth sharing?
My week has been good. Spent a lot of time looking for less active members this week. We were able to tie up some loose ends. So that was good.

One really cool thing that happened this week for me, As my companion and I were walking down a street in the woods off the main road one day, I heard something rustle in the trees. And honestly that could mean anything from a chipmunk to an elephant. You can hide anything up here in the woods. You can't see more than five feet into them! Anyways, I didn't think anything of it so I keep walking. Seconds later, a deer bursts out of the tree line! It doesn't even look at us just bounces across the road into the other trees! It was like ten feet away from me! That was ridiculous! I've never been that close to one, alive that is. So that was cool! Other than that my week was just really fast!

I have marveled at the beauty of nature a lot this week. My companion and I were giving service at an elderly lady's house and I stopped a lot to take a picture of just random things, anything that caught my eye, from a giant tree to a tiny leaf. It is just so amazing the variety of God's creations! I know they were made by a loving God. He cares for each and every piece of the universe. That includes us. I testify that our Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ, love us more than any of us can comprehend. Man is nothing compared to God, yet we are everything to him. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Talk to you all next week!

Well, how is everyone? I'm doing well. I've had an interesting week. How about everyone else? By interesting I mean lots of nothing. Which was unusual. It was like every door we knocked no one was home. So that was strange, oh well.

Anything awesome or adventurous coming up? How is everyone's summer so far? Anything cool or is it just hot down there? It's been in the 80s with high humidity. That has been. A little bit of hit here. Nothing much else this week!

I would like to bear my testimony that our Heavenly Father cares very specifically for each and everyone of us. Also I would like to bear my testimony that priesthood blessings come straight from our Heavenly Father. They are a great help, because He knows EXACTLY what we are going through and the help we need, even before we ask for it. Heavenly Father is real and loves us. I know this is true.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Another week down! Wow. I'm not joking when I say that time flys. How is everyone? Doing okay? Anything awesome coming up? Or did the first few weeks of summer already burn everyone out?

My new companion is Elder Strong, from Garden Grove California. We get along pretty well.
As always we're constantly on the move up here. We have bicycles which is awesome! Literally, the saying is true, just like riding a bicycle. You're back into the swing of it in a few pedal lengths. Who knew right?

Anyways, nothing incredibly big happened this week, we've just been having a ball trying to talk to people about the gospel and share our message to all we come in contact with.

To finish this email here, I would just like to bear my testimony of the power of priesthood blessings. I fasted yesterday for guidance. Wasn't getting really anything from the spirit till he said to get a blessing. I thought it was a good idea, but I'd wait till something
else came. Then nothing came. Through the rest of the day as I pondered searching for guidance, the idea kept coming to my head. So I gave in, and got a blessing. Within the first statement of the blessing, Heavenly Father had answered and given me the guidance I
needed. It was pretty awesome. The Priesthood is real. It was truly restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know that this is true. I know the church I'd true, and that the Book of Mormon is true and is a powerful witness of our Savior Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Wow! 3 months have flown by really quickly. I'm moving on from the lovely Rockland Branch. It has been great to be able to serve here with loads of wonderful people!

How is everyone? Good weekend? How was church? Anything but happen? Any games that blew your team out of the water, or games that your team utterly destroyed the other team?

 

I've been doing well. Lots of walking around this week, and it has gone from the near humid 90s to the 50s with a constant rain fall. It is pretty crazy! The weather is just all over the place isn't it?

What was the biggest thing that happened for you this week? Biggest thing that happened for me? Well, let me tell you... One of the people we have been working with here in Rockland came to church on my last Sunday here. I was enthusiastic. We've been meeting
with him weekly, and it always is a good time. I've definitely seen progress in him as I have tried my best to help him in all of his struggles and strives to return to church. I'm truly very grateful for the opportunity to work with him.

The Church is true everyone! Jesus is the Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of the World. He cares for each and every one of us and knows exactly what we are going through. Believe in him, and trust him. He'll help you in more ways than you can imagine. I know that is true.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Have a good week everyone!

Bees that buzz, kids who blow dandelion fuzz, and I'll be doing whatever snow does in suummmmmmer... Sorry, just a friendly "Frozen" quote of the day.
How is everyone? I'm doing swell this Memorial Day! What are everyone's plans? Barbecues? Hanging with friends and family? Great plans! We've recently gotten iPads in our mission so they'll be great tool for missionary work and a blast to have! Watch out for the selfies. They'll probably come. Just saying.
How's the week been? Anything cool happened? Anything journal worthy? Anything 'tell Elder Adams, even though he's two thousand miles away' happening?
This week has been interesting for me.
Monday: Zone Interviews, spent all day with other missionaries getting
trained and also meeting with the President.
Tuesday: P-day/ driving to where we were going to stay the night in Maine.
Wednesday: Mission Wide training in Exeter NH for the iPads/ driving
home. (Several long hours in a car).
Thursday: normal missionary day.
Friday: also normal missionary day.
Saturday and Sunday: stayed in the apartment because my companion was
sick days.
As I said, it's been interesting. Anyways, that was the summary of my week! Y'all are awesome! Have a marvelous week!

How has your week been? Mine has been good! Lots of sunshine and wearing on my shoes! We've been out and about talking to loads of people! It is warming up here and we've been getting plenty of rain! A new man just moved into the area, D..., he was meeting with the Missionaries in California and wants to be baptized so he was at church on Sunday and we talked to him a while, when we were there! Talk about a miracle!

Anything new and awesome coming up? What are all of your plans for summer? Vacations? Stay-cations? Visiting Family? Going to strange and exotic places?

I'm doing great and have been striving to be as Christ-like as I can be! That is something that has been really stressed in our meetings recently. Make sure that as we are out and working to be representing Christ as he would want to be represented. Have a good week everyone!
