Day 53 of my full-time missionArea: Afton, Wyoming It was a really yucky day this morning. It was cloudy, cold, and rainy. But, we proceeded to get the mail around 10:30 a.m., undaunted by the rain. I got four letters: from Julia, Kathy, Sean McCall (a friend from the Y who’s on a mission in […]

Day 52 of my full-time missionArea: Afton, Wyoming We left the apartment at 7 a.m. for Soda Springs. We met the elders there and left for Smithfield. It really didn’t look familiar, but one of the mountain ranges sure did. Someday, when I’m there, I’ll have to find my old home. Mom and Dad will […]

Day 51 of my full-time missionArea: Afton, Wyoming We studied all morning again. We played volleyball at 6 a.m., and that was great! We got out, proselyted a little on our bikes from 1 to 4 p.m., and talked to quite a few people. I just wish we had more teaching appointments. We did have […]

I’m still having a rough time dealing with my answer. I just don’t understand why I can’t communicate. I got up at […]

Day 47 of my full-time missionArea: Afton, Wyoming I really enjoyed sacrament meeting today. We attended two of them. One at 9 a.m. and one at 11 a.m. with Sabrina and Lanny. We also presented “Together Forever” to them tonight and talked for two hours. I feel really good about that. She may just quit […]

Day 46 of my full-time missionArea: Afton, Wyoming I had a good day. I prayed this morning for a good 30 minutes, no joking, and I really thought I might receive an answer, but I don’t feel like I did. I was being so sincere I was shaking. I feel like I’m getting closer. My […]
