Travels

What's up everyone!


This week was honestly pretty crazy. An Elder in my district is originally assigned to Taiwan and he had to go back to Utah to get his Visa. That meant that I had to go to Lewisburg, WV, to pick him up, pick up another Elder who was travelling with him in Beckley, WV, drop them off in Charleston, then head back to Lewisburg to be companions with Elder Diede for the week, all during a snowstorm! It was a fun adventure that I'm not going to forget anytime soon! Up until then I had never really driven in the snow, but I'm basically  a pro now haha. It was a fun week though! Elder Diede is an awesome missionary. He has only been in the field for about 6 weeks, but I still learned a ton from him. 


We had a zone conference on Wednesday and I loved it! It was all online, which was a bummer, but I was still able to learn a ton. We talked about Christ- like attributes and how we need to strive to develop them in order to progress. President Newman taught that right now, serving a mission, is the best time to develop those attributes. We literally focus all of our time on Him and bringing others closer to Him, the impact it will all have for later on will be incredible!


Also, my companions and I made some Christmas cards! If you'd like one in the mail please send me your address! 


I love you all, thank you for all you do! Have a great week!
