New Companion!


This week was awesome!!! I got a new companion. His first name is actually Spencer. His name is Elder Barnett. He is way cool. His is from Ogden Utah and he is the same age as me. A lot has changed in our zone and I am excited to work with all the new Elders and Sisters in the zone. Jim is getting baptized this Saturday! I am excited for that. He is super solid and he is even more excited then I am. We will be meeting with him tonight again and will get everything set up. We are still working with Megan and Doug. We have found a lot of new investigators as well. We are staying super busy and I am super excited for another great week! Thanks for all your prayers and all your support!

I am staying in Montgomery!

This week was great!   We worked hard and we were able to be apart of many miracles.  We are still teaching Megan and she is doing great!  Doug is also doing really well.  Jim is a miracle.  Out of nowhere we got a call from one of the members and she told us she is dating a guy that wants to hear the lessons!  We have been teaching him since last Sunday and he is doing great.  His girlfriend is awesome too, she has got to be the best member missionary out there, she has been so helpful.  I am excited for this coming week.  We got transfer calls today and Elder Foster is leaving and I am staying in Montgomery, I am so happy I get to stay.  Montgomery is the best and I love it!  Thanks for all your support and all your prayers.

Im supposed to be here!

I had another amazing week here in Montgomery!!! We had a pretty crazy week actually. I went on exchanges, we had interviews, a zone training, and a specialized training this week! It was awesome! We are still working with Megan and with Doug and they are both doing great! Megan is 16 years old and her boyfriend is in our ward and she has been a lot of fun to teach and we have had many powerful experiences with her. We actually had a lesson at a member's house on Saturday and that went very well. Doug is also doing great, he is 17 years old and he came to church yesterday and enjoyed it. I am excited for them, they are awesome and I love them. We have been apart of many miracles this week and it truly is amazing! I love serving here in Ohio and there is no place I would rather be... I know the Lord has called me here for many reasons but I know without a doubt I am supposed to be here. I love the people and I love serving the Lord!!!

True Happiness!

This week was awesome! We were very busy and we had a lot of fun. We went on exchanges, we had leadership council, and we also had stake conference. It was a great week! We are still teaching Doug and he is doing really well, I love that kid. We are also teaching Megan, she is great and super solid. We were very blessed this week, we were part of so many miracles! We found many new people to teach and we are working hard. I love serving here in Montgomery, this truly is the best mission in the whole world. I love the Porters and I love the people here.  The gospel of Jesus Christ gives hope to people, it gives them a purpose in life, and it truly blessed them, as we live the principles of the gospel that is when we find true happiness. I am excited for the coming week, we have a lot going on! Thanks for all your prayers and all your support!
