Hey Family :)

Well its been quite a good week down here!! The snow has come and gone and now it is back to the good old english rain :) Loughborough is the place to me its a blessed land with so many people prepared by the lord! It feels like i haven't spent much time in loughborough to be honest we have just been trying to take care of all the other teams and help them get things all sorted out so we can make sure they see success in there area's! I learnt something that is when you are in the service of your fellow beings (missionaries) you are only in the service of your God!! Even though we didn't spend much time at all in our area and didn't get to work much to find people the Lord blessed us with people coming to church!! We had probably about 3 hours all week to find people and miracles happened we found 4 people that came to church and were just prepared by the Lord and ready to be taught the gospel!! And I bet even if we would have spent 20 hours in our own area and not worried about the rest of the zone that we would have not had those 4 to church!! I love it!! This is why being a missionary is so amazing every week i see so many miracles and i just love it!

I'm glad to here that the Lord is taking care of the familie I hope you know i pray for you every night and am so greatful for all the support i recieve!!

Hydi and Matt hope you plan on taking me to disneyland with the boys when i get home :)

Rob and Jamie keep the missionary work up :)

Hey Hey Hey!

Well I finally made it to good ol Loughboro :) It has been a fun few days being here and me and my comp are already being blessed so its amazing!! This is a blessed land because of the obedience of the last missionaries so we will for sure be keeping that up this transfer so we can see success! My position started right when i arrived day 1 on our way home from the mission home where I met my comp he told me we had to go and fix some missionaries and correct some of the things they shouldn't of been doing so, he sent me on exchange with the senior companion and well i learnt that my job is going to be easy haha but it was good i'm stoked to start it and to be that example and the whole zone are sweet, so we will see success this transfer for sure!!

My comp is Elder Perry, he is from Draper Utah!! He is the man, just a stud I love him already, we have had alot of fun in the snow, it has just kept snowing and snowing but that hasn't stopped us we are the only ones in loughboro that will drive in it haha its funny people just think we are crazy and we just smile and say just like home haha I love it!!

My last companion Elder La Vita stayed back in Caerphilly and he is going to make sure he gets those people that we were teaching baptized so I'm pretty stoked to hear about that one!

Hey Hey Hey



Well what a week :) Happy New Year all :) We got a good 6 inches of snow last night so its amazing! Just like home its cold, kids are throwing snow balls at us, i'm throwing them back (still got my throwing arm) haha everything is amazing!! But sounds like everyone got a good ol relaxation moment just to chill haha well not Elder Davidson no chill time for him haha!! I loved it this week was great we had one of our investigators get interviewed for baptism and she passed and is doing so good her name is Emma Simpson. Also this less-active familie we are teaching has alot of familie that aren't members who are now really interested in the gospel and all have accepted a date to be baptized and well to say the least Caerphilly is exploding and the Lord is blessing it with loads of success!

The not so good news but the good news at the same time haha is that Elder Davidson is getting transferred to Leicester, where i will be serving as a Zone Leader there! President called me on monday and asked me and I was shocked i just said uh uh uh sure President, are you sure you dialed the right number haha, but i am excited it will be good! The even more crazy thing is I will be serving with an Elder that i came out with named Elder Perry!! He is the man and i am stoked to be able to serve with hime!!

The Snow however is kinda stopping me from leaving haha, noone in the UK knows how to drive in the snow so the country has shut down temporalily but no worries I will get to Leicester soon enough haha!! I don't know my address quite yet but I will send it to you next tuesday when i get there!

I learnt something this week which ties a little bit in with Katie's email, she talked about a song that her and Gracie sing called I am a child of God, well while we were sitting in sacrament meeting this sunday I was just pondering as i always do and thinking about the week and thinking on some things i could do to improve, and well the closing hymn came and it was I am a child of God so we started to sing it and the last verse sayed a line that touched me, it says "if i but learn to do his will i'll live with him once more" and wow I have sang that song a million times but this one time it hit me, its so simple, if we just learn to do his will we will llive with him once more, we will be happy in this life and we will be successful!! Same with my mission if i just simply learn to do all the little things no matter what, even Excercise in the morning no matter how tired i am I will have success!!

Now this familie is why i absolutely love my mission!! I learn something new every day and i understand how simple the gospel is and the plan that a father has for us!! I love it!!

I love you familie and i am greatful for the knowledge that i am a Child of God :) I miss you!!
