25 Days of Service

Whats up fam!

This week was super cool!!! We have a new plan for this Christmas season, we took the calendar that the church made about the 25 days of service and changed it up to be more for us as missionaries! so we are super excited for that and we know great things are coming to our mission in this next month! We had a great lidership counsil and all the liders are excited to get their zones going in this new plan! So we are excited to see what happens!

Thanksgiving was this past week! Happy thanksgiving!

It was so cool because last week a member came to church and she brought her grandson and his friend (who arent members) and we were able to put a cita with them and go and teach them! Then we went to go talk with the mom of the friend to make sure it was ok that we were teaching her son and she was super interested so we were able to teach her as well, and now the three are progressing really well!! Its amazing how the act of one member can help missionaries so much! SO go help the missionaries this week!!

Love you all! Have a great week!!

Personal Revelation

Buen Día Familia!

This week was super crazy! We had to say goodbye to the ones going home, so that always sucks. Had to say bye to Elder Clemens, gonna miss that guy! But we are going good still, we got some great new missionaries and we are super excited to see what these next few months will bring us! Im super excited to work with Elder LeBaron, and see what we can do! This week we have been learning a lot about personal revelation and how important it is in our lives to help us be able to keep going forward in the path of the Lord. Just like Nephi in 1 nephi 10 were he talks about how he had desires to learn about the things of his father, we must have those same desires and then work with diligence to find the answers, and that is when we will recieve. One of the promises that is repeated the most in the scriptures is just that, Knock and it shall be opened unto you.

Love you all! I hope we all can continue learning and progresssing every day! Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Stuart

Transfers!

Buen día familia!!!

Well today is my pday because this next week is transfers again! I cant believe i have already been here two transfers. Time goes by so fast! My next comp will be Elder LeBaron from Arizona!!! Im so stoked! Its going to be a lot of fun, and we are going to try and push the mission even more.

This week was just super crazy with transfers, and trying to get everything figured out and ready for that. It was fun becasue we have been going with President to talk with the missionaries as he does the interviews. We are helping them with our purpose of talking with everyone, especially in this Christmas season. And it has been really cool to see all the missionaries and be able to give advise and help them with their contacts, and also to learn something new from each and everyone of them to be able to apply in my own area!

Well its been a crazy week! Hope all is well back home! Love you all! :)

Love,

Elder Stuart

Return to Chos Malal!

This week was great!!!! This week we got to go with President while he went to do interviews and we did training with the missionaries that were waiting for their interviews. We went  up to the north this time to Rincón, Cultural Co, and CHOS MALAL!!! First off it was so much fun to be able to help the missionaries a little bit. We talked a lot about the importance of talking with everyone, and how God was always preparing people for us to talk with but it takes our effort first to be able to find those miracles that he has prepared for us. We talked about how we cant be afraid to talk about the gospel, because we have the authority to do so, and this is their salvation we are talking about! It went really well.

Then it was also amazing to be back in Chos malal and see all the people that i love. It was amazing to see that even though six months have passed, the people there still are going strong and progressing in the gospel every day. It was great to be able to be there again and go to the homes of people that i met and have the opportunity to be able to testify of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to them one more time. I love being a missionary, especially at this time, because i have that opportunity to be able to go to so many different places and testify of our savior. It is the most gratifying feeling.

On the funny(kinda sad actually) note, we saw a dead armadillo in the route when we were on our way home, so that was pretty cool to see!

Love you all! Have an amazing week :)

Love,

Elder Stuart
