Iditarod. Sacrifice.<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Friends and family!<br><br>It was another awesome and freezing week! It was super busy and seemed<br>to fly by.<br><br>To start our investigators are doing awesome! We had an awesome lesson<br>with Mathew and Andrew on Wednesday and invited them to be baptized<br><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://1" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">the 25th of March</a> and they accepted! So we will be helping them work<br>towards that date now! Ryanne is doing great and still on track for<br>the 18th and we finished all the lessons yesterday! She super awesome<br>because whenever we teach something she immediately makes the changes.<br><br>We had zone meeting this week and it was really good. We talked a lot<br>of sacrifice. Bruce R McConkie has a really cool talk about it in the<br>April 1975 general conference. He says, "The law of sacrifice is that<br>we are willing to sacrifice all that we have for the truth’s sake--our<br>character and reputation; our honor and applause; our good name among<br>men; our houses, lands, and families: all things, even our very lives<br>if need be." And Joseph Smith said, “A religion that does not require<br>the sacrifice of all things never has power sufficient to produce the<br>faith necessary [to lead] unto life and salvation.” So without<br>sacrifice we are nothing. Even the small things make a big difference.<br><br>Saturday we had the Iditarod ceremonial start that we got to help out<br>at. If any of you remember this, I got to help out with this last year<br>and it was my first Saturday in the mission! It was cool because this<br>year I got a super cool spot where it wasn't as much Manual labor!<br>Haha but it was a good time and a lot of fun! And it was freezing the<br>whole time! I've never loved hand and feet warmers so much in my life!<br><br>And that was pretty much the coolest stuff that happened this week!<br>Thank you for all that you do for me!<br><br>Cool fact for the week: I hit 19 months on my birthday!

We<br>bagged three semi truck trailers of hay bales and got them on pallets<br>ready to be shipped for the teams! The race is coming up in march and<br>if anybody remembers, my first Saturday in the mission field last year<br>was the Iditarod race so that's pretty cool!<br><br>The work is picking up here in the dimond ward! We are now teaching<br>someone new! So her name is ryanne and she is related to a family in<br>our ward and they brought her to church and we are starting to do<br>lessons for her and Sunday night we taught her the restoration and<br>invited her to be baptized and the family decided on march 18th so<br>that's super cool! We are still teaching Mathew and Andrew too. They<br>are doing really good and came to church and well... just trying to<br>get them to baptism too! Natasha has been really busy with school and<br>we actually got another referrel from a member in the ward so it's<br>pretty cool!<br><br>We have a huge week coming up so we are really excited!

We had a good week with lots<br>of good stuff!<br><br>On Tuesday we had a lesson with Mathew and Andrew about the plan of<br>salvation at it went super good! We had a little white board and so we<br>drew it out as we went so it could make more sense. At the end we<br>invited them to be baptized and it was such a cool moment because it<br>was one of those silent moments and we could just feel the room and<br>our chests burning as they thought about it. They said they were gonna<br>think about it and so we asked them to pray to know if that's what god<br>wants them to to do at this time. It was such a cool experience.<br><br>Friday we had a lesson with Natasha and we didn't know what to teach<br>her because she had been taught everything before and still had so<br>many questions so we decided to start at square one and so we re<br>taught the restoration and it was really cool because we got to<br>discuss and settle a lot of her concerns and she is slowly learning.<br>She grew up Jewish so everything is so different to her but it's<br>coming!<br><br>We had zone meeting on Friday and it went really good. We talked about<br>building up the church and about fulfilling our duties.<br><br>I've had a lot of pondering this week. It blows my mind how fast time<br>comes and goes. I come home in 6 months and I still feel like I'm<br>fresh in the mission so to speak! It's a cool feeling but a scary one<br>at the same time!

But he had the attitude of I will go and do and that's how he got through it. The lord gives us trials and tribulations and things we need to do but sometimes it's a lot harder than we thought it would be so we give up or murmur!... but we need the attitude of nephi!

Elder Chan got safe and<br>sound to the lake Otis ward and I got my new companion! Elder vaioa!<br>He is from Samoa and from the island I served on! He is soooo funny<br>and we have the best time together and I've learned so much Samoan<br>from him. So one cool thing is he served in Samoa for a bit while he<br>was waiting for his visa and he knows my trainer and other<br>missionaries and it's super cool! While transfers were going we got to<br>have elder Judd come and stay with us for a night and so that was<br>pretty fun to catch up with him!<br><br>So one really cool thing that I forgot to mention in my last email was<br>I finished the Book of Mormon for the 3rd time on my mission! It's<br>weird to think that because if you knew me before the mission you<br>would know that you couldn't pay to read a book haha! So it was a cool<br>little accomplishment and my goal is two more times! But I know it's<br>true and there's now way it can't be. And if you question if it is...<br>READ IT! I'm grateful for the knowledge it gives us and it just makes<br>everything make sense!<br><br>We have a new investigator we are teaching and His name is tommy isaia<br>and his wife is a member and most of his family! He was a former<br>investigator and a couple weeks ago we went over and just tried to<br>visit him and he let us in and we taught him he restoration and then<br>last Monday night we had another lesson with him and we read the Book<br>of Mormon with him. He reads it on his own and always tells us how he<br>is just looking for the truth and he thinks he might have found it!<br>Haha so it's been super cool to teach him and help him find the truth!<br>The struggle we run into with him is he works all week including all<br>day Sunday so we are going to help him understand the importance of<br>church.<br><br>And well I don't know how it is in Utah but out here there is so much<br>snow! It's been snowing the last couple days and the snow plows are<br>staying busy for sure!<br><br>And well that's some of the highlights of the week! Thank you for all<br>that you do for me! Stay safe everyone and always remember CPR!<br>(C-Church P-Pray R-Read) to keep yourself alive you need to do those<br>things!<br><br>Alma 37:37<br>Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for<br>good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that<br>he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the<br>morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these<br>things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.<br><br>Love, Elder Tyler John Fawson<br><br>#1- we found this cool snow fort thingy with stairs<br>#2- SNOW!<br>#3-4- some moose we found a but ago but I didn't send the pictures!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942316610387710060.post-20743848667380409962017-02-27T20:03:00.001-08:002017-02-27T20:03:23.623-08:00<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Friends and family!<br><br>Well this week was full of tons of cool news!

So between 6:30 and 10 you have to do an hour of personal<br>study and a half hour to plan your day! And we don't plan at night<br>anymore. So you just have to get those done anytime between those<br>hours! And then p day is a little longer! That was probably really<br>confusing and you probably don't think it's that big of a deal.... but<br>ITS A BIG DEAL! Haha<br><br><span tabindex="0" role="button" class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1036_1106" style="border-color: rgb(0, 120, 215); border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dashed; cursor: pointer;">But also at zone meeting we talked about ether 12:27 and going through</span><br>trials and tribulations. If you haven't seen it I invite all you to go<br>watch the "bearing our burdens with hope" Mormon message. We all have<br>trials and hard things to go through but our trials and burdens are<br>what help us become who god knows we can become. So keep enduring and<br>soon you'll see change!<br><br>This week we went on exchanges with the Spanish elders and I actually<br>went to the Spanish ward for a day and it was really cool! I was with<br>elder henderson who has been out 6 weeks now so it was really fun!<br>He's so funny! We had a really cool experience teaching this lady<br>about the plan of salvation. She had just lost her friend to suicide<br>and her husband was going through some hard things and she thought it<br>was perfect! It was cool to see the comfort she felt when we taught it<br>to her!<br><br>And well we did lots of oyming and visiting former investigators this<br>week! And I think that's a little bit of our week for you guys! Thanks<br>for everything you all do for me! Love you guys!<br><br>Love, Elder Tyler John Fawson<br><br>Picture #1 so elder Chan and I were walking back from a house and<br>getting back in the truck and he slipped and fell in the snow and I<br>took a picture of it! Haha I'm such a good companion! And then he was<br>getting in and slipped and fell again! Haha it was funny for me to<br>watch but not for elder Chan!<br><br>Picture #2 I'm gonna miss elder Chan!!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942316610387710060.post-56887930397576914392017-02-27T20:00:00.001-08:002017-02-27T20:00:40.792-08:00<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Friends and family!<br><br>Well I guess first off happy New Years everyone! I hope you all had a<br>great holiday season! I can officially say I come home this year so<br>that's a bit weird to get used to.<br><br>This week we got to have zone conference and it was really good! There<br>was some really good trainings and I learned a lot. We talked a lot<br>about obedience, caring for your companion, staying focused and being<br>the light! We are all as members of the church the light to the world.<br>We need to all be ready and prepared to share the gospel with anybody<br>and well.. lighting the world with our actions!<br><br>We went on exchanges this week and I was with elder bacon again! I<br>served with him out in kodiak when I first got there so it was really<br>good to be with him again! We did a lot of street contacting and<br>talking to people!<br><br>This week we did a lot of oyming and trying former investigators. We<br>talked to tons of people downtown and well.. everywhere we could! We<br>didn't get to teach as much us we wanted to but we talked to tons of<br>people so it was good!<br><br>We got a referral for this lady and we went and tried to visit them<br>and a younger kid answered so we talked to him for a while and he<br>wasn't a member but was from Kansas and asked about Joseph smith so we<br>explained who He was and it went pretty good! Then his aunt came in<br>and she was actually someone we ran into at Walmart one time and she<br>said she wanted to come to our church but we lost her number so we<br>couldn't talk to her but god led us to her! So we got to talked to her<br>for a bit and so this week we hopefully will get to visit with them<br>more!<br><br>Overall it was pretty good! It still blows my mind it's 2017! Maybe we<br>all remember and keep our New Years resolutions! Haha love you all!<br><br>"I cannon never accomplished anything, I can try has wrought wonders."<br><br>Love, Elder Tyler John Fawson<br><br><br>Anchorage north zone<br>Top of a parking garage pics</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942316610387710060.post-56189519660725268062017-02-27T19:51:00.001-08:002017-02-27T20:00:28.110-08:00<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Friends and family!<br><br>Well MERRY CHRISTMAS Everyone!

I feel like maybe it was because we told them it was only<br>sacrament meeting on Christmas! Haha<br><br>We had our ward party on Friday and it went super good. There were<br>TONS of people that showed up! We of course had tons of food then they<br>did some dance performances and it was so good! The Samoan wards know<br>how to party!!<br><br>So Christmas Eve was probably one of the coolest and funniest times of<br>my mission! So us and some other missionaries decided to go out carol!<br>So we all met at the chapel at 7pm and if turned into a mini football<br>game somehow haha! But them we went to a couple of house and carolled<br>and it went super good and so we decided hey let's go do this<br>downtown! We will walk around and sing! So we all went downtown and<br>start just singing "angels we had heard on high" and "come all ye<br>faithful" to random people on the streets and then a bar called us in<br>and we all sang to them! Then... the next door restaurant called us in<br>to sing for them! It was seriously the best thing ever! It made so<br>many people smile so hopefully we made a difference in some people's<br>lives! And that's the super awesome Christmas Eve story! I'll send the<br>video of us singing in the parking garage after we were done!<br><br>Christmas was really awesome! It was so good to talk to my family! One<br>1 more skype day left so that's pretty weird!<br><br>Well I guess that's a little bit of our Christmas week for you guys! I<br>hope you all have a great week and I'm grateful for all of you. And<br>I'm grateful for my savior and his love. He is the reason for season<br>and he is the reason why we are who we are and how we can become who<br>god wants us to become!<br><br>Love, Elder Tyler John Fawson</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942316610387710060.post-36595062238903389102017-02-27T19:46:00.001-08:002017-02-27T19:50:30.308-08:00<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Friends and family!<br><br>Well everyone I hope you had a great week! We had a nice and cold week up here!<br><br>Tuesday we went to a big community service thing at the Sullivan arena<br>here and it was basically helping to give out food and presents all<br>day for Christmas! It was really cool and we got to talk to tons of<br>people as we went through the line with them. Then on Friday afternoon<br>we went and helped and member move some stuff to a new house. We moved<br>a matress and box spring, a couple dressers, a big couch,<br>entertainment cabinet and some other stuff in one load with 3 Nissan<br>frontiers.. so you can imagine how creative we got to load it all up!<br><br>On Wednesday we got the opportunity to go to the temple and that was<br>awesome it was my first time in a little while so it was good to be<br>back!<br><br>We got to teach one of our investigators Natasha this week and so just<br>a little backstory with her she grew up Jewish so she doesn't believe<br>in Jesus Christ or the New Testament or anything but it's been<br>interesting teaching her and helping her learn who he is. She is open<br>to learning and she is beginning to grow in her testimony so that's<br>good!<br><br>One new thing we tried this week was calling just random people in our<br>contacts that we didn't know and it's been interesting but also we<br>have found some people from it! In fact we called a family and they<br>aren't members. It they are coming back up in January and said they<br>want to learn more about the church! It was super cool!<br><br>On Sunday our talks went really good! I talked about ways we can put<br>Christ in Christmas! I talked about doing service, showing gratitude,<br>and being together with family. It's crazy to me that Christmas is so<br>soon! It feels like it was a month ago we had Christmas! Times flies!<br>I hope you all have a merry Christmas and remember to put Christ in<br>Christmas! I'm thankful for all of your and your examples to me. I'm<br>thankful for my savior and everything he has done for me. And I'm<br>excited to skype home on Sunday also!

It was so busy that I feel like we didn't<br>have much downtime at all! So we flew in to anchorage Monday around<br>noonish so I spent the day with the dimond elders and we went and<br>played basketball with the zone and it was so fun! It's so fun to be<br>around and play basketball with missionaries now! Then I spent Tuesday<br>in a trio with them too and elder palmer said bye to everyone and he<br>got ready to leave. Wednesday was super busy. It was transfer day! We<br>got to have elder tuimoloau spend the day with us! (For all those who<br>don't remember who that is... it's my companion that I trained and it<br>was so good to see him again!) we dropped elder palmer off and took<br>some other elders to the airport! Elder tuimoloau was transferred to<br>Fairbanks! A Samoan in Fairbanks! Haha<br><br>So on like Tuesday night we were at the chapel where northern lights<br>meets for mutual and I got to see everyone and it was so cool to see<br>them again! It was cool to just see that they remembered me and<br>everything! All the youth yelled elder Fawson and came and said when I<br>walked in the gym! It was so cool!<br><br>Its super cool to come back to the Samoan ward! I love it! It feels<br>like home! So there are 3 Samoan wards here in anchorage. (Northern<br>lights, dimond, and lake Otis) and I am in the dimond ward now! Elder<br>chan is so fetching awesome! He just barely finished his training and<br>is ready to work! He was raised in American Samoa but recently lived<br>in California! The ward is really awesome too! So we cover downtown<br>anchorage and a lot more! If you look on a map it's basically<br>everything west of the Seward highway. It's a huge area and did I<br>mention it's really cold? Haha<br><br>Thursday it snowed here so to kick off the Christmas initiative with<br>some service we went and shoveled drive ways with some other<br>missionaries! We got to meet lots of people and hopefully helped them!<br><br><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://5" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="5" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">Friday night</a> our ward did a missionary fireside and it went really<br>awesome! So basically it was centered on the plan of salvation<br>questions. (Where did I come from? Why am I here? And where am I<br>going?) and they decorated 3 rooms for each question and did a little<br>rotation thing and a 15 min lesson or so in each one then a little<br>video at the end. And don't forget about all the awesome food at the<br>end!! We got teach the why are we here room and it went really good!<br>Sadly there was only one non member there but it showed <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://6" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="misc" x-apple-data-detectors-result="6" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">the ward</a> that<br>things like this are possible and work!<br><br>It's so fun to serve back here in anchorage with the Samoan people!

It was rainy pretty much everyday this<br>week but I will take it instead of snow! Haha well Monday for p day we<br>pretty much played basketball the whole time and we actually had interviews<br>that night! And for all you who are wondering how that happens if we<br>are on an island.... well we FaceTime president! Haha it takes some<br>getting used to but it's cool! They went really awesome!<br><br>This week we had tons of opportunities to help people move so we<br>worked off our dinners pretty well! It's funny because there's a lot<br>of people who aren't members but have our number laying around so if<br>they need something moved they give us a call! So it pretty useful<br>that we have a truck out here! Haha but it was great opportunity to<br>serve!<br><br>We did lots of dock tracting this week! Salmon season just ended so<br>all the big boats are in and they are working on them getting them<br>ready to go back out do some other kinds of fishing and crab! So we<br>got to talk to a bunch a people and even check out some big boats so<br>that was pretty cool! It's funny because the fisherman are some of the<br>roughest looking people but they are some of the nicest I've ever met!<br><br>We did some service on Saturday and helped the Rices patch a hole in<br>there bathroom under the electrical panel! We were there for dinner<br><a href="x-apple-data-detectors://2" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="2" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">Friday night</a> and they asked if we had any experience doing drywall<br>because they needed help doing that in the bathroom. (They are a<br>really old couple). But I said I do a little and that we could do it!<br>So we did it and they were super impressed and said it looked awesome<br>and that it looked like I knew what I was doing! So that was a relief!<br>Haha (Thank you dad for teaching me! Little did I know those skills<br>would come in handy on the mission) then we moved some gravel for<br>them! Brother rice is the fire chief and so he took us over to help<br>him with something at the station and gave us a tour and showed us<br>everything on the trucks! I even got to sit in one! I felt like a kid<br>again! It was awesome! Haha<br><br>Liza is doing good! So she couldn't meet with us on our usual Thursday<br>appointment with her but she did some of the ARP book so that was<br>awesome! Saturday we got to see her for a minute and see how she's<br>doing and she's doing good! Her friend was there and she loved us<br>coming to see her and thought it was awesome we were helping her<br>overcome her addiction! So we got the friends approval so that's<br>good!! Haha and Malinda we didn't get to have a lesson! She was busy<br>all week with different things but we have an appointment Wednesday so<br>that's good!<br><br>On Sunday, Farani (our only Samoan investigator) came to church for<br>the first time ever so that was really awesome! He really liked it and<br>so hopefully we can have an awesome lesson with him this week!<br><br>During my studies <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://7" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="7" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">on Sunday morning</a> I came across this awesome line in<br>Alma 37:46 and thought it was so awesome and that I should share it<br>with you all,<br><br>"The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever"<br><br>Well that was my week in a nutshell!

We helped the Long family take some stuff they needed to get rid of the thrift store. They are an older couple and awesome family and the wife has had a lot of medical issues and they said she doesn't have to much longer so they are moving down to Utah where all their family is and they plan on buying motor home and traveling around with what time she has left. It's so cool because they are going through so much and they are still optimistic through it all!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We had a lesson with Malinda this week and it went really good. We decided it would be best if we read the Book of Mormon with her for the lesson and so we did and we didn't know if she had really been reading but to our surprise she was already at Jacob 5! Crazy awesome! So we got to read the super wonderful and long chapter of the allegory tree! Haha but it was really good and she is learning so much and is doing awesome!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We had an awesome lesson with Liza this week too! We didn't have any idea what to teach her so we looked over everything taught to her and we decided to introduce her to the Addiction Recovery Program and it went awesome! We did a little preview of it with her and showed her the step 1 video and she wants to do it! We committed that we would do it with her! So it will be really cool to get familiar with it! We are now trying to find people in the Ward to help us teach and help her with it! But she is making progress which is a good thing!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Friday we had zone meeting and it went really good!

Malinda is an older lady who was in the women's shelter and the missionaries helped the shelter out with something one day and met her. But they couldn't teach her there. She had a stroke a bit ago and has gone through a lot in her life. She just got moved into a new apartment and the sheltered had called us and asked if we could pick some stuff up and drop it off at an apartment for them. And it was Malinda! This was a couple weeks ago and then this week we had a lesson with her and it went awesome! She loved and believed everything we taught her. She accepted the invitation to be baptized on November 26th! So that's pretty cool! We went back again on Thursday and had a plan of salvation lesson with her and a member from our Ward and it went really good too. She even read some of the Book of Mormon! She's awesome and it's so cool how she was put in our path!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We did a lot of tracting and dock tracting and it was actually really fun! We had some good times and got to talk to a lot of guys at the docks that had been all over their world in their boats. Weirdly enough the guys at the docks are the coolest!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Friday was pretty cool! We were going to teach Liza but we had the feeling to go try some else really quick before to drop something off and then we went to Liza's and it was so cool because we caught her right before she was walking out her back porch to smoke! The lord knows what time we need to be places!! We really wanted to focus on the priesthood and giving her a blessing to overcome her addictions and I got the opportunity to give her a blessing and it went really good! She has stopped drinking alcohol which is a good start! But it was such a cool lesson with her! After we went to our dinner which was with the barco family and they are really less active but love to feed us and sister barco had her friend over who wasn't a member and she was going through a lot and didn't know if she was going to have a miscarriage or not so sister barco asked if we could give a blessing to non members and we said of course we can! So we had a quick little lesson about the priesthood and asked who she would like to give it and she said me! So I got the opportunity to give 2 blessings Friday night! It was so cool! I told elder lee he is taking the next 2 now haha! </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">On Saturday we were at the martins house with a lot of the members and we shot arrows at pumpkins!

Haha so they know the schwantes family here so Saturday they got a tour of the island from them and then they came to our Ward mission leader meeting that night and it was awesome to have them there! Sunday they came to church with us! It was so cool to have them come out Andrew kodiak! They are awesome and it so cool to see how much they care about each missionary personally!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We did lots and lots of tracting this week and it's been interesting to say the least!

We seemed to run into a lot of anti's this week so that was a bit of a shock to us but it was good! I learned a lot about our church from them. They had so many crazy things it was bizarre. It's so weird what some people hear about the church!

They really want to start going to a church so hey why not just go to the true one! We had a lesson with Keily family and they are doing good. They just don't really want to change church's because they both grew up in the unification church.

One of the most powerful talks to me was president uchtdorfs talk in the priesthood session about alma and amulek. It was awesome! I loved when he talked about everyone needs to find their amulek to be successful and that Everyone needs to hear the words I need you and The lord needs you. And than we need to see with our hearts. And then president Eyring talked about how there is no difference between the oldest apostle and the youngest deacon in gods eyes if you fulfill your priesthood duty. And of course David A Bednars about the difference between believing in God and believing him. It was a good weekend! Another weird fact... I only have 1 more general conference on my mission!

We are in finding mode right now but this week we had a lot of really good things come from tracting! We have refined our tracting approaches so much and I guess you could say we are pretty good now! Haha our goal is to start teaching right away and to not give them any time to say no and it usually works out really good! We have a couple of new investigators from it that we are really excited for! Earlier in the week we were tracting in some awesome rain and wind so we were soaked! It was fun and we hoped that people would feel bad for us and let us in but that didn't really work out as we thought it would! Haha </span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This week we helped Manuel a lot with his Trailer he is trying to move from the trailer park (back story: so there is a place called the Jackson trailer park and it has this really awesome view of the ocean so they are selling the land so they can put estates there so they told everyone hey have to leave so we have been helping people with that). We helped jack up his trailer this week so that was pretty cool! Learned something new! So his trailer is ready to go now! Manuel speaks Spanish and so good thing we have elder bacon! He's not really interested in religion but we are still helping him and asking questions and teaching him when we can!</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">So a week ago or so we were tracting in a apartment complex and we got in the truck but a really strong impression to just do this group of doors by the truck. We got out and the first door we knocked this lady answered and said you found me! Haha we were like uhhhhh yeaaaa!! She is a really less active member and hasn't been to church in 30 years. She said earlier that day she had seen us driving and waved and we had waved to here and she said she had been thinking about the church all that day. She said it was a sign that maybe heavenly father wants her back at church! So this week we got to go see her with our Ward mission leader (he went to byu in Hawaii) and Shannon is from Hawaii so they hit it off pretty well! The Ward is already assigned people to go over and see her and she is raising her grandson who is now 10 and she said she wants him to learn about the church and be baptized!

It was really cool and then after the park took us on a tour of the museum. It is really cool the history from there! So history moment for all you... Alaska actually was really big in world war 2 because if your were to fly from Japan to essentially Washington you would fly over Kodiak/illusion chain/kenai peninsula and so there's lots of watch places here where they basically had forts and would make sure none of Japan or russia was flying over!
