  I am extremely sorry this is last weeks email that I wrote out but completely forgot to send, by the time I had realized it was already to late to send. I will send another one later today as well! Alrighty let me just say when you are hoping to have just a normal week it never happens. To start we had MLC this week, (Mission Leadership Council) it was really good, we got to learn a lot of ways we can be better as leaders, we also learned how we can help our missionaries become better! It was really good they talked a lot about using our time wisely and goal setting! Bro Littlefield gave us a training and was talking about how we can improve as missionaries and leaders. It was super good, and he is actually one of the guys that was part of the writing of Preach my Gospel! The work is still rolling we have to give a training at zone conference tomorrow and we still haven't had much time to prepare because of all the crazy stuff going on!  Okay so by this point your probably w...

Sorry I never no what to name these emails so instead of crazy awesome week I put title of Liberty! That's also our new zone vision and we are HYPED!!!!   I never thought I would enjoy quarantine missionary work as much as I did this week. We didn't have to waste any time traveling and got to spend a ton of time doing the work holy smokes this was such an amazing week I'll just start from the beginning I guess haha.    Monday- An old friend I found on Facebook back in Blue Springs reached out to me who flat out told me she wasn't interested in joining the "Mormon Church!" She had been humbled, so I guess things hadn't been going to well for her after that and she remembered me and felt like she needed to reach out to me! We ended up having a great lesson with her and invited her to be baptized and she said yes! After that she said "if you would have told me at any time in my life I'd be joining your church I'd think you're crazy!"  Tu...

My last email was kind of all over the place haha but the last 2 weeks have been super good! Our zone has made a ton of improvements, we kind of went from 0 to hero haha it's been pretty awesome! When we first got here there were like 3 people being taught within the entire zone so there was a lot of work that we needed to get done! We started putting in the work and teaching our missionaries how to do things and we killed it! We found over 100 people as a zone and the work has gone up like crazy! We have a ton of great missionaries and sadly a few of them are leaving! Transfers came in and Elder Gilbert and I are staying together but 2 of our missionaries are now finishing their missions and 2 are getting transferred out! But we should be getting some more STUDS! Some cool miracles we have been able to see this week, are. 1- I was on exchange with one of our district leaders we found 5 people! 2 of them were sisters and their names are Abryana and Laylani, we saw on Facebook that ...

  This is gonna be super short but cool miracles are happening! We found a ton more people put a Facebook find on date! We got referrals from members and the work is progressing one cool miracle I saw this week is- So I was reading the talk let God Prevail from the October 2020 conference and in there the prophet says "I wonder, to whom will we be led when we plead to find those who are willing to let God prevail in their lives?" So I decided to include that in my prayer and we found this phone number on Facebook and called it up and taught Meredith and after this is what she said!!!! "I really just need to give everything to God, and put all my trust in him!" Super cool! We have a baptism this week and one next week but I've got no time we gotta get to work! I will have to write a long one next week! I love you all so much I promise to write a better one next week! Gotta run I MERKED A POSSUM ZOOM CALLS

  It's been another crazy but good week here in Liberty! I got a text on Tuesday that Joshua would be getting baptized, so we got to watch him get baptized which was pretty cool. Not as cool as watching it in person but I was excited! I lil background info on Joshua he was taught by the missionaries previously and one day Elder Nelson and I felt inspired to call him. We called him up and he answered and said that he was going through some stuff and he wanted to meet with bishop. So about 5 min after that he met with bishop and he told him how when he was taking the discussions with the missionaries he was happier. So he decided he didn't need them anymore cause he was happy. Then after about a year he wasn't happy anymore and recognized the happiness that comes from Jesus Christ and his restored church!  After the baptism we went straight back to the grind haha. We have been working non stop, calling people, texting people. It's been pretty crazy! Saturday we played fri...

Its BULKING SEASON!!!! To start off this week we decided as an apartment we were gonna bulk up this week so we bought 11 loaves of bread and tons of peanut butter, jelly, honey and nutella! We ate a sandwich every 4 hours and let's just say it was pretty hard! We forgot a couple of days to eat them during the day so to catch up we would eat like 5 at night! We all felt pretty sick by Friday but we had to keep up the gainz! All of us gained only 5 pounds but it was kinda worth it I guess haha! This week has been another crazy one, we had MLC (Mission Leadership Council) and everyone there was talking about our zone blowing up finding it was pretty cool! We learned a ton about changes in the mission and overall it was pretty awesome! They were teaching us how to teach our missionaries and help them improve and grow on their own, I thought it was super good i wrote down a ton of notes! After that we got super hyped to just go find people and help our missionaries, so that's what w...
