Hello everyone!!

Wow it has been probably a month since I have written on the blog!  The time just goes by so fast and things are so busy!! Things here in my new area are going well. The new area has a lot of work to be done and lots of people to visit! We are always super busy which is a great thing!! This week started a new transfer, or a new set of 6 weeks. My companion, Elder Meadows, left for Comodoro and I have received a new companion, Elder Kirts! The work is progressing every day. Just a couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to listen to General Conference. What a great experience it is to listen to the living Prophets and Apostles. I love General Conference so much because we recieve revelation for this day and age and because it is proof of the restoration of the Gosepl of Jesus Christ. Just as He called Prophets and Apostles, we too have prophets and Apostles in this day and age because His church was restored on this Earth. The mission is such a great opportunity to share this Gospel. Every day, my faith in the Lord and in His plan is strengethened as I excersise my faith. It is such a great opportunity that we have in this life to progress and learn. The Lord sent us here not to just be tested but to also experience the joys that come of mortal life, usually which are experienced through the families that we have. As this week is Easter, I invited you all to think of Jesus Christ and what He did for us. As we follow the example of Jesus Christ in this life, we will arrive to be the people that He wants us to be one day. I invite all of you to ready and study the life of Jesus Christ, especially His marvelous resurrection. Thank you all so much for your prayers and love and support. Have a great week!!

This was the Punto Tombo Penguin Reserve.  Elder Jeppson was super excited to check out this local attraction!  Pretty cool how close they were to the penguins.

Hello Everyone!! 

Well it has been some time since I have written a blog post! So much has changed!! About 3 weeks ago I left Rio Gallegos and my area of San Benito to come up north to Trelew at the top of our mission. My companion is Elder Meadows from Grant's Pass, Oregon. A great guy! We have a great time together! The work has been a little slow in this area but we are working hard trying to get things picked back up. The Lord  is hastening His work because these are the last days. All of us who have a knowledge and testimony of His restored Gospel have a responsibility to share this Gospel with all of those around us! Being a missionary every day is such a privilege for me, I love the experiences that I have and the things that I learn. I love helping people and seeing them come to knowledge of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. To watch peoples eyes light up when they hear that Christ's church is here on the earth again is an experience that could never carry a price. It is a sacrifice well worth making! We have started doing lots of contacting (just talking with people in the streets, knocking doors at houses) and it is quite difficult. People are pretty rude at times! But we never know who will be the person that our message changes their lives. We never know exactly who needs the Gospel in their life. We just have to do our part and leave the rest to the Lord. Thank you all for your prayers. They strengthen me every day as I try to carry out the Lord's work. Have a great week.
