Hey everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! I know I did. Even though it was really different being on the mission, it was one of my favorites ever. I was playing some Christmas hymns on the piano on Christmas Eve and all of the sudden I was playing Silent Night and I felt like I was getting the biggest hug. Obviously no one was actually physically hugging me, but I'm 100% sure that spiritual hugs are a thing and that one came from Christ. It was one of my favorite experiences of the mission so far. Christmas day was super special too! Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who sent me gifts! You guys are the best! I have the very best friends and family in the whole world. I don't know how I got blessed to know so many cool people, but my friends and family list is literally stacked. The rest of the week outside of Christmas was super awesome too. We taught some awesome lessons and we found some really cool new people who we're really excited about. We also f...

Hey everyone! Sorry, some stuff came up with a member needing a blessing and we had to get it all coordinated so I have no time! I'll just hit the highlights! - The institute manual convinced one of the Elders I lived with that dinosaurs are a hoax - New covid restrictions prevent us from being with missionaries we don't live with, which is a bummer! - I got a new comp! His name is Elder Ames and he's pretty cool! A little weird, but he's awesome. - Christmas time is the best time! Don't forget it! Everyone go read Alma 31 and pay attention to Alma's prayer at the end and what he prayed for and how God blessed him. Literally changed my whole outlook on missionary work. I love being a missionary! There's nothing I'd rather be doing. I love you all and I'm so grateful for your prayers. Keep Christ in your thoughts!

HEY EVERYONE! This week flew by! I guess I say that every time but it flies by every time and then at the end of each week I'm like "what the heck that lasted 5 minutes". I guess that's just how time goes out here. Oh well, what can you do. Time for the weekly info dump haha! 1) We met a super cool guy named Rodney this week. He's got 4 teardrops under his eyes and tattoos all over his face. The goal this week? Get a photo with him. He's so awesome! We met with him and his wife on Tuesday and they are so ready for the Gospel! Please be praying for them! They're awesome! 2) Our man Klaus is making progress! He didn't come to church this week, but we had an awesome lesson with him. We shared the Christ Child video with him, and it was so powerful. If you haven't seen it yet, GO WATCH IT! It's been my favorite part of the Christmas season so far. 3) I got to go on another exchange with Elder Jensen this week! LET'S GO! He's such a beast. N...
