Serving!

Indiana is sweet, I love it, it gets better and better every week. It is starting to get hot though and very humid! We were tracking the other day and we saw a guy that needed a little help. So in our shirts and ties we lifted like 20 logs into the back of his truck. It was awesome. He was very appreciative and was interested in what we were doing and why we helped him. We explained we were missionaries and we had a message to share with him, we asked if we could stop by and teach him. He told us no... he did not want to become a missionary!  So we explained to him a little better about what we do and that he doesn't need to become a missionary like us. It was sweet though, I never thought I could be so happy serving and helping someone else. It makes a big difference if you desire to help people out instead of just helping people out because your told to do so. After that we were soaking wet though, it was a hot and humid day. Yesterday was the mission president broadcast and it was awesome. I have never been so excited to hear from the apostles and prophets! That's what we teach and talk about all day everyday and actually getting to hear from them is such a blessing. I love being out on a mission, it is stretching me and changing me into the man the Lord wants me to become. I would rather be out here serving the people of Indiana than doing anything else!!! Even Lake Powell or Bear Lake. We meet our new mission president soon, and I am pretty excited about that. Thanks for everything!!!! Thanks for the love and support and the prayers.

Muncie Indiana!

Muncie Indiana is awesome! So many great experiences this past week, I love it! We were on bikes this week and my butt got a little sore and it reminded me of the trip to Lake Powell. We are doing a lot of tracking, going door to door. The members here are taking good care of me. They feed us well. I had to give a talk yesterday at a fireside. Its called "why I believe" it went pretty well, I didn't know I was talking till an hour before so I didn't have much time to prepare. I have to give a talk in sacrament meeting next Sunday, I am excited for that as well! I am learning so much everyday its hard but I am putting my trust in the Lord! Teaching and being with the people in Indiana makes me realize more and more how blessed we are, its amazing.  The work is going forth and I am excited to be part of it! The Lord is blessing my life and I couldn't be more happy. God speed the right!

My address is 1307 S. Meeker Muncie Indiana 47302.

I'm here!

I'm here!!!!! Indiana is crazy, I love it. They are splitting the mission and I am going to the other mission crazy huh!? As of July 1st I will be part of the Cincinnati Ohio mission. I am serving in a town called Muncie right now, its in Indiana so I will be here for a while. The new mission covers some of Indiana, Ohio, and even Kentucky. In July I will get a new mission president, President Porter, I am really excited. So much has happened this week I wish I could tell you all about it.  I did see Dillon Smith but we will no longer be in the same mission. My companions name is Elder Wagstaff, he went to Jordan High School, he is tight. We get along well. Teaching people and being a missionary is awesome. I am still trying to get used to everything but I love it!!! We have met so many great people, they are all so nice. Being in Indiana though has made me realize how blessed I really am. The people that we come in contact with have been through so much and its just crazy to see how blessed we really are. God is preparing people to hear the word, its sweet. We were knocking doors the other day and we came across this lady that was prepared to hear the gospel, she asked the best questions that we were able to answer with our doctrine, it was cool. She is not in our area so other missionaries will be talking to her, but it was a great experience. I have taught 4 lessons already, its awesome stuff sharing the gospel. I am just trying to love everyone and be like grandma D! Sacrament meeting yesterday was good, it was actually the best part of the week, i met a lot of the members. The bishop had us come up and tell the ward about ourselves... it was sweet. I am learning so much and I have so much to learn, it is a process but I am super excited to be here!!  I am seeing the Lord's hand more and more everyday.
