Keeping at the grind

 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 frisbee with a bunch of ward members it was a lot of fun. We have been playing pickleball every morning which has been super fun. The work keeps rolling our zone has been going from 0 to hero president has been super impressed and we are seeing tons of miracles. Yesterday we went out with some of the youth in our ward and we knocked on some former people's doors and it went pretty well. We've been finding a lot by just calling random numbers that we find and then asking for referrals and it's really cool. The work is a lot of fun I'm loving it!

I don´t even know where to start haha. I got off the plane last tuesday with about 30 other missionaries, and half of them were going to my mission. We took a bus to the mtc and I got to know everyone going to my district and I liked most of them but there was one kid who I didn't want to have as a companion because we had nothing in common. I like to play sports he liked to read books, I like to be outside, he likes to read books haha. But of course we got assigned to be companions and I had kind of a bad attitude about it for my first 2 days and those were the longest two days ive ever had. I prayed that I could come to love my companion and that day we listened to a talk by elder gong and he was talking about the importance of having a good relationship with your companion. He said to stop focusing on the things you didn't like about your companion and to focus on the things your companion was good at and since then its been great. Ive come to love the things my companion is...
