Hi Family,
Happy New Years!! Wow I can’t believe it’s already a new year! My calendar year on my mission is over… man that’s nuts! That's awesome that you guys went to Mueller Park to sled! Grandma Deb sent me some pics and it looked sweet! Sounds like New Years was good too! Ours was pretty good. It was a pretty normal day! We only had two dinners this time so we didn't explode!
This week was pretty sweet! We had a zone conference this past Monday where President Miller and the Assistants talked about changing the culture of the mission. I have heard there is going to be some big changes in our mission, not just from President Miller but from the First Presidency! I am excited to see what will happen! I went on two exchanges this week. The first one was with Elder Carruth who is a district leader in our zone. I went into his area and it was really fun! We did a lot of knocking on doors. For some reason every single door I have knocked on this week has slammed it before I could get more than like 5 words out haha! It’s been a good time! The day after exchanges with Elder Carruth we went on exchanges with the Assistants and I got to go with Elder Harral! It was sweet to be with my trainer again! We talked about old memories and good times we have had, and part of the area that they cover, since they are in a YSA, is Cherry Hills! I got to be in my old area with my trainer, and it really made me reflect on the mission and how fast it is going! I’m so grateful to be able to be serving right now!
We also found a new investigator this week! Her name is Kyra and she was referred to us by a member family named the Moss’s. Kyra has been friends with a girl in the Moss family for a while and they have been wanting to invite her to take the lessons for a while now and they had a really strong prompting that they need to do it now so they did and she said yes! He is really looking for the truth and she loves what we teach. We have taught her two lessons now and on the first one we invited her to baptism and she said that she would be baptized when she feels that it’s true! So this week we are hoping to be able to set a baptism date with her! She came to church though so she is really solid! We set a baptism date with another one of our investigators idk if I’ve talked about him but his name is Anthony. He was also referred to us by a member who is dating him. He has been taking the lessons for a little while now and he loves it and actually wants to serve a mission! So this week we asked him what he thought about baptism and he said that he wants to do it as close to the new year as possible! We were pumped so we asked him what date he wants and he said either the 18th or the 20thof January, depending on if we have a meeting on the 20th or not! We are super excited for him and he is awesome!
Other than that, we’re still catching mice, knocking on doors, and loving life! I love my mission and it is the best thing that anyone can ever do in their life! I’m grateful to go out every day and teach people with the power and authority of God! I love and miss you guys and hope everything is going well! Stay safe! Talk to you later!
Love Elder Summerhays
