I'm going to be transferring to Utah this Tuesday. It's strange for sure but we're rolling with it haha. Part of the reason being I'm needing a medication for health stuff, and the other being that I've been called by an apostle so it's definitely been revelatory for this new change.

I'm going to be part of a church-wide test for service missions. Service missions have changed A LOT. I'm still going to be proselyting, I do 40 hours of service a week (some of which include working heavy equipment all the way to making the book of Mormon videos for the church). I'm also going to be apart of the Orem Utah mission, what that means is I participate in zone conferences district councils and also going out proselyting with other missionaries.

But yeah I'm gonna be back in Utah, living in Lehi so that's gonna be weird lol. But I'm not in anyway discouraged by this call! I'm super excited and willing to serve the Lord in any way possible, I've enjoyed every bit of my time in the North Dakota Bismarck mission, and its certainly not the end, in 3 to 6 months I could be returning to the North Dakota Bismarck mission, but for now the brethren want me in Utah. And if you guys see me feel free to say hi, and you can even text me. And also just for clarification. I'm still serving a mission, my return date is still June 13th of 2024 as of now, so yeah. I love all of you. I'm excited to be apart of this Church test, and let me know if you guys have questions!

Yeah this one’s a bit of a bummer but I got Covid the first few days I’m in Utah so that’s fun, there’s not much to report this week other than, that I’m going to be teaching horse therapy and working in the temple for my first little bit of service and I’ll let you guys know what else I pick up.

The New Transfer

 Hey Everyone!

Feels good to be able to write to you all again! This week has been pretty intense so I'm exhausted lol. The new Elder for the Rosebud area arrived and he's pretty chill. I'm leading out the area this time so it's pretty interesting to lead out the companionship especially on the reservation. A lot of spiritual guidance is needed haha

We've just been working really hard though and even got someone on date for baptism in November so while it's hard work, it definitely pays off. We had general conference recently and I hope you all watched! It was for sure eye opening and gave so much revelation that I hope you guys can enjoy! It was super fun to enjoy the company of the senior couple and be able to watch conference with them and to cook for them as well. I made Baked Ziti and it turned out great!

In other news the church finally got missionaries back in the Pine Ridge reservation a little south from Rosebud so it's good to see that the Pine Ridge zone is back up and running since we're originally part of Pine Ridge Zone. But as I said, it's been hard work, we're really trying to clean up the church's name from recent lies being told around Pine Ridge since they were gone and it's going great.

Well, there's not much else in news, sorry if I seem a little down, just exhausted lol. I love all of you dearly.
