Snow!

Miracles are happening everywhere! We have seen so many, its awesome. This week was crazy! We had so much snow! It snowed like 7 inches. We were sliding everywhere. We were actually teaching the Briggs the other day and we were waiting for the dad to get home and we went sledding with the kids for like 15 minutes it was so much fun. Then we had a solid lesson with the Briggs, I love that family. We went on a couple exchanges and we are still working with Terrah, she is getting baptized on March 7th, we are stoked!  We had a great lesson with her and at the end we gave her a blessing and the spirit was strong, it was a powerful moment. We are still working with Christina and a kid named Tony. He is awesome! Tony is 21 and his mother is a member! Life is so good and I am so happy! You probably won't hear from me next week, we have transfers so I'll get a new companion soon! I am sending another one home, its crazy! That's 4 missionaries I have sent home! ha ha I hope all is well. I love you, thanks for all the prayers and all the support!

Because of the Gospel!

This week we went on a couple really awesome exchanges! We found some new people to teach and we found a couple less actives the other day that are not on the church records that we are going to be bringing back to church. Alonzo and Cameron. Alonzo wears size 18 shoes, he is big! He is so awesome though, I love him. Terrah is planning on getting married and baptized on March 7th! We are super excited for her. We are also working with a lady named Christina and her kids. They are solid and we are excited to see them progress. Its amazing to see people change because of the gospel! Its been such a blessing. Not only does the gospel change the lives of our investigators, it changes our own lives in the process. I have seen it time and time again! I love Cincinnati and life is good! Thanks for all your prayers and all your support!!

Temple Trip!

What an amazing week! We have been super busy and have not stopped. We got done with zone conference this week. These past couple weeks have been the craziest weeks on my mission but we were able to accomplish everything we needed to, it was a miracle. Then on Saturday we had the blessing of going to the Louisville temple with our recent convert Heather, it was awesome! It was a mission recent convert temple trip. I was able to see a lot of missionaries and recent converts from my past areas, it was the coolest. President Porter was baptizing all the recent converts and Heather was able to get baptized for her mother, it was the coolest thing ever! Elder Carter and I were able to do confirmations.  Sunday we had a great day at church and then we went out and found a lot of new people to teach. We found a new family to teach and I cant wait to see them progress! Terrah is doing good, we fasted for her on Sunday and she is working on quitting smoking! We have another lesson with her tonight, I am excited! Life is good here in Cincinnati, I am loving it! Its a blessing to be a representative of Jesus Christ at this time. I am learning and growing so much everyday.

Louisville Temple!

Powerful!

What an amazing week here in the Great Ohio! I am loving it and things are going great. We have had zone conference all week long and we are finishing them up this week. We are super excited! They have been going well and they have been powerful! It has been a blessing being with all the missionaries. We also had Stake Conference this week! That went super well. We taught Terrah right before the Sunday afternoon session and we had a great lesson with her. We also were able to find a couple families to teach. Its been a crazy busy week but I have definitely seen the Lord's hand in His work and it is such a blessing to be here at this time. We will be going to the temple this week with some recent converts Heather and Randall. That should be a super awesome experience. President Porter gives a talk to all the recent converts before they do baptisms for the dead, I am sure it is going to be powerful and I can't wait. I also had the opportunity to see some members from the West Chester ward the other day (my second area). I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true, it has changed my life and it has changed many others that I have been working with. I love you all thanks for all the prayers and support.
