"Are You Sitting Down?" / Sent June 18, 2018

Hey everyone, This email might be a little unorganized, but oh well. First off, the title of my email is never what you want to hear when you answer the phone. But it's what I heard  on Tuesday  during our exchange when Elder Peterson called me. The conversation went a little bit like this: Me: Hey, what's up? Elder Peterson: Not much. Are you sitting down? Me: No..... why? Elder Peterson: You might want to sit down. (There were no chairs around, so I leaned against the stair rail) Me: Oh no, what happened? Elder Peterson:___________ Ok, I'm not gonna put what he said in this email. I'm just gonna leave you on that cliff hanger, and I'll put what he said in the next email. But really, it's crazy, and it literally changed the rest of the week. Actually, most of the next transfer will be really different too. Assuming we're both still down here together next transfer. And ok, I'm not actually that mean, I can't make you wait unti...

I Saw a Pillar of Light / Sent June 11, 2018

Hey everyone! This week was pretty good. We went on a hike today, and there was a pillar of light that was cool. I'll see if I can send pictures this week. For my email today my mom asked me a couple of questions, so my answers will be my email this week.  Have I seen any miracles this week? These past few weeks have been rough with trying to find and teach investigators, but our less active work has been on fire, so that's a miracle. I feel like maybe God is making everything else harder so we'll get sick of it and try to spend more time with the members and less actives instead, haha. Frere (brother) Christoph and Soeur (sister) Gaelle have both been super great, and have both come to church the past two weeks in a row! They both really like the gospel, but have their own individual struggles too, but it is great to see how happy they are when they work with us and come to church. It is easy to see the difference it is making in their lives.  How have I gro...

Zone Conference in French Guiana The Elders in French Guiana -- Every single Elder in the entire country! Hey everyone Guess what week it is? It's random detail week! I'm gonna just put random details from my life down, and you're gonna enjoy it. Haha, or not, I guess that part is up to you. Well, get ready, I have no plan, so hopefully I end up writing something worth reading! I gave myself a haircut this week. It doesn't look too bad if you ask me. I had Elder Peterson clean up the back, but I did the rest! We had a random stick or two by four thing in our house, and I was using it to point at the map for where we were gonna go. I decided it would be better if there was a little hand carved into the end so it could point better. So I carved it. I don't want to brag or anything, but I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I'll send some pictures. I ate crepes for lunch yesterday. We had two less actives in our area come to churc...
