One month down🥳🥳

Hey guys! Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NSe6sAewdZVsJxHM7 Ive officially been a missionary for one month🎉 only 17 more to go🥲. On Saturday night we went and got frozen yogurt to celebrate and the guy working at the register was wearing a New Jersey Devils hockey jersey so i was talking to him about the Hughes brothers. Then the girl working there started asking me if i knew who m Macklin Celebrini was. And if you know me then you can guess how excited i was when she asked this. Then we talked for like 45 minutes in this frozen yogurt shop about hockey, church, utah, and more hockey. It was the best conversation ive had since being here. On thursday we were knocking an apartment complex in search of a lady name kathleen who had put in a referall a while ago but missionaries were never able to get in touch with her. One of the doors we knocked was answered by a sweet lady named Diane. She remjnded me of my grandma and it was so awesome talking to her. She was so happy that we ...

We found  her  eager and prepared to be an outstanding missionary.  Sister Durrant and I are looking forward to working with  her  and consider  her  as a  daughter . We encourage you to support your missionary through frequent email correspondence. Because missionaries are serving in new areas and are transferred from time to time, we ask that you send all packages in care of the Mission Office. Please make sure to include your missionary's full name, the mission name, the address including the word (South), and the Suite number on the package to insure proper delivery. Brinley Elise C...

Simple, Clear, Brief

  Hi Guys!! Photo album :  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ NSe6sAewdZVsJxHM7   It's been a week and one day since I got to the MTC and I know that this is exactly where I need to be right now. I have learned so much since being here, especially about how to keep things simple, clear, and brief. so lets hope I can do that here.  I have been LOVING my district, my teachers and my awesome companion. It is so sad to think that next week we will all be split apart  . But me and Sister Peterson are both headed to New Jersey so she can't get rid of me yet! We went to the temple on monday and shout out to the bus driver who took us because he was a king. We love you john. The temple was so special and amazing and we get to go again on Friday and Saturday! Tuesday night we had a devotional given by Elder Stephen C Barlow and his wife Christina. It was such an amazing devotion and I wanted to point out one thing that Elder Barlow told. He explained that when you prep...

  Hey guys!!!! I've officially been in the MTC (missionary training center) for one day and it has been soooo good. I was set apart last Sunday and started home mtc last Wednesday. My district is so awesome and I have been blessed with such an amazing companion, Sister Peterson. She's from Omaha and we actually have some mutual friends from fsy. So crazy how those things work out that way. The food has been better than I expected hahaha. I know that if all else fails, I can just get some cereal because it's always an option!!!!  Today me and Sister Peterson are practicing teaching so let's hope thats goes well . I'm sure we will do great and it will all work out, so I'm trying to to stress about it too much.  I have seen God's hand play a role in so much this week. When I got on my first class last Wednesday I saw my teacher, Sister Ryan. The crazy thing is that Sister Ryan was in my ward and I went to church with her my whole year at BYU. She is literally t...
