WEEK 100 "0-100 Real Quick"

WEEK 100 "0-100 Real Quick" November 18, 2019 Hey everyone! Well I have officially made it into the triple digit column on weeks that I have been on my mission, and also for the first time in these past 100 weeks, or 700 days if you want, I got sick. I have never known what it would be like to be sick as a missionary, and I was super grateful for that... so this week was a new experience.  On theTuesday we had a Zone Conference, which was great. I love Presidente Fillmore, he always says the things that I need to hear and I've grown so close to him over the span of my mission. When you respect someone so much, everything they say is more inspiring, and you care to listen even more. I feel I have learned some amazing personality traits from him that I wish to continue developing. It was also my last Zone Conference which was pretty weird. I had the opportunity to bear my testimony along with 4 other Elders from my MTC district who are going home at the same time...

Week 99

Week 99 November 11, 2019 Busy week but here are a few highlights: Elder Lehnhof  and  I found a bunch of people this week. I hurt my back mid-week, so I had to stay inside for two days.  We ate at some members' homes which is always great. The members do a good job of taking care of us.  Tomorrow is my last Zone Conference and that feels crazy.  I’ll be sharing my testimony and saying goodbye to a lot of people.  Things are going great with my companion, Elder Lehnhof.  No problems at all there.  Elder Layton parks.layton@missionary.org Elder Lehnhof

WEEK 98 Great Week! November 4, 2019 Hey everyone!  Well it was another great week, and I'm sorry but once again I didn't quite get it day by day.  We were running all over the place, I feel like we have never had any downtime since we both have got here. But in our work we have found some great people to teach. We contacted a woman on the street (named Gina) who told us she had been needing some spiritual help and she wanted to walk up to us but decided not to... in the end we went up to her and had a great contact. She came to the church and we talked about the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ, she said she absolutely loved the photo of Joseph Smith's first vision, and the words God said "This is my beloved Son, hear him." She repeated it over and over. So we've been talking with her daily and it's been fantastic.  We've also been talking to some other friends named Natan and Thalita! Natan will always go to church every wee...
