I can hear now, Elder cook, Great week!!

 December 13, 2021


Sorry this emails a little long, but a LOT happened. This week was SICK!

Ok. I apparently have been HALF DEAF for a long time. Without going into detail, I basically shoved a power washer in my ear. It was kinda cool tbh. After, I literally felt like I had SUPER HEARING!!! People have always said I am a loud person, and I never really understood that, but OH MY GOODNESS! I get it now! My family judged me for how loud I make my headphones and I JUST FOUND OUT WHY THEY THOUGHT THAT. Anyway, that was insane. For reference, the best I can compare how loud things were before is this. When I am 20 yards away from a car (now that I can hear), it sounds just as loud as when I was right next to it before. Crazy moment of the week, sorry if that got a little gross for some people lol. It's just a big moment in my life.

We also had a day that we spent with special needs kids, and it was so fun! I love hanging out with them. We helped make Christmas ornaments. 

Elder Quinton L Cook came to visit our mission which was SO COOL! For those who don't know, we have prophets and apostles who live on the earth today, and HE IS ONE OF THEM!!!! They give guidance and help in our modern time. He said a lot of cool things, but the thing I liked the most was his blessing appon us as missionaries, and his testimony. So cool! I definitely felt the spirit when Elder Cook and our Mission President were talking. 



Summary: I was particularly deaf for a while. I got to work with special needs kids. Elder Quinton L Cook visited my mission.

 July 24, 2023 *my mother exclaimed her feelings on the brief nature of my emails a fortnight ago, so I have decided to proclaim my story how it should be! Overly dramatic for No reason!! (and I'm low key board so I thought this could be fun). Our hero starts off this week in a gloomy, dangerous area knocking door, after door, after door, in search for "the elect". Where is this you might ask? The war ridden lands of the middle east? No. A scorching desert, or an iced over wasteland? No... Davis County... UTAH!  I was hoping to have the pictures from a baptism that happened a few weeks ago but I just haven't gotten them yet. I know, it lame. I am SO PROUD OF HER making the decision to be baptized and take a major step to enter into the kingdom of God! Whenever the picture wants to show up, I'll add it to an email. The last few weeks have been crazy! We find at least 1 more person to teach every day which is so great to see! The people have been prepared in this ar...

 November 3, 2021 Corry and I took Eric to the Colorado Springs airport early in the morning. Some sweet missionaries took our picture when we got inside. They immediately saw us and came up to shake Eric's hand. There's a brotherhood in being a missionary. You stick together and take care of one another. I love that. Eric flew to Salt Lake City, Utah where his cousin, Mariah, picked him up from the airport. She took him back to her house where Aunt Stacey was waiting for him. Mariah and Stacey took him out to Cafe Rio before they took him to BYU where he got to say goodbye to a few of his friends. Then they dropped him off at the MTC! I'm going to miss this kid! I'm proud of him for making this decision to serve. I know he's going to do great things in the two years that he serves the Lord in the Utah Layton Mission.

April 17, 2023 A lot has happened, as you can imagine. Everything has been super busy and the mission has been great! Elder Eggett got transferred to Farmington and my new companion was Elder Goodwin! He is a great guy. Now I'm with Elder Owens. Also a great guy! We have been able to find so many people to teach, it's great! We are constantly teaching or finding. Elder Goodwin was a great companion. We covered 3 stakes (or 28 congregations), and it was a lot of fun. Now that I'm with Elder Owens we are back to 2 stakes (20 congratulations), and we are busy. We found this great family who went to church with us this weekend!!! We are so happy for them. Many others are close to baptism as well, and we hope they can make that step soon. I have been in the same place for 7 months now, which is unusual for a missionary, but I love it! I'm surprised I'm still here, but I know it's where God needs me to be I read through the New Testament last month and now I'm goi...
