Hello everyone!
Happy early halloween!  Hope everyone has some fun stuff planned out for the holiday!  On saturday we had a ward party, it was really fun!  My companion and I went as alma the younger and amulek haha.  Clever costumes I know haha.  It was cool tho we got to talk to a lot of people and get to know our ward better!  We had our first real snow storm this week too.  It started snowing during the night and then we woke up to snow on the ground a bit and on the cars.  Nuts!  It's nice and pretty now tho haha.  We have a few new people to try and work with and hopefully it will go well!  We just had a new ward mission leader called and he's a big byu fan so it should be good haha.  On saturday Elder Schmalz was feeling sick so we ended up staying inside most the day and I did a ton of cleaning and organizing, I went through our old records like 3 times it was awesome haha.  Otherwise there's not much else to talk about, I hit 21 months on Friday and halloween on wednesday!  Love you all hope to hear from ya all soon via letter!  haha God bless

hey everyone! 
This week has been pretty awesome!  We had interviews with our mission president, that's always awesome!  On monday we played football and I saw my life flash before my eyes!  I was a recipient of a pass and two opponents went up for the interception and collided hard against eachother it was nuts!  Haha my team ended up winning which is all that matters :)  We now are focusing a lot on teaching members and it's been awesome!  I've gotten to get to know members a whole lot more!  It's awesome.  Otherwise not a whole lot to report on, just keepin on plugging away!  Love you all God Bless!

Hello everyone! 
This week has been pretty good!  We saw some cool miracles!  We were able to recontact some people we had been trying to work with before, and found some new people through knocking doors!  We met a member who we didn't know and was looking for help an hour before we showed up at their door!  That was an awesome experience.  Anyone who says prayers aren't answered is crazy!  We went to sonic one day and it turns out a member was working there so he gave us a bunch of coupons for free food haha.  It was awesome!  We have lots of fun stuff planned for this week so it should be super exciting!  Anyway I love you all take care!

Hey everyone!
this week has been nuts!  Had transfers, and immediately afterward we had a baptism!  It's super cool!  I thought it would be an awesome start for my new companion fresh into the mission field to start off his mission.  he's an awesome guy for sure!  I'm gonna love serving with him.  Then we had conference this week which was great!  I learned so much from the prophet and apostles this weekend.  I hope everyone had a chance to listen to them speak to us.  We found out on thursday that they scheduled our car to get some body work done this week so we're biking again!  Yay!  Haha it's gonna be awesome.  It's weird cause Elder Schmalz, like shhmaltsis the first companion I've had that hasn't been on bike haha so for once I'm not getting left in the dust!  It's only for a week so we'll have a week for awesome miracles!  Sacrafice brings forth blessings!  It's gotten a lot colder here and all the leaves are changing!  It's definitely fall!  Anyway love you all take care God Bless!

Hello everyone!  
This week has been pretty awesome!  Had lots of crazy busy-ness to take care of and what not!  One of the definite highlights was getting to hear Elder Holland speak to the mission on saturday!  It was so cool because he was talking about revelation and while he talked he walked around the chapel and made eye contact and talked to missionaries specifically!  It was so awesome!  We've been working with a few new people as well, so that's going really good!  It's just awesome to be a missionary really!  I love it for sure!  i hope yall are doing well and are staying safe and enjoying the fall!  God bless!
