Week 40: Everything is Awesome!

May 15, 2017

    This week was awesome! I'm in the San Luis Valley now serving in Alamosa 2nd and 4th wards and it is awesome! I am companions with Elder Nelson and it is just going to be a fun transfer! 

    So Alamosa is pretty cool, it is a lot smaller than Pueblo and very different. We are working with a returning member that has a temple date for the 26th of this month so that is very exciting but we are working with not too many investigators so we get to do some finding! Our most progressing investigator is going to jail for a month for shooting a gun above the heads of some homeless people trying to steal his marijuana so that was a bummer. He is really cool though and said that he would read the whole Book of Mormon while he was there so that is awesome! I am really excited to try and get the work rolling in this area, It is going to be awesome! We found a good amount of new people to teach this week so I'm excited. 

    My companion Elder Nelson is awesome! We get a long super well. He is from southern California and has been out for the same amount of time as me and is assigned as a Spanish speaking missionary. So that is really cool because I get to learn Spanish now! 

    It was super cool because this week I was able to "help" teach my first lesson in all spanish! It was so cool! Easily one of my favorite lessons that I have taught while on my mission. I somehow figured out how to say some very basic things and it was just really cool.

   The Zone here is pretty dang cool too! I really miss Pueblo though, the missionaries there were so dang cool. In this zone there is definitely more disobedience, so we have to do a lot more loving correction haha. Not going to lie it's probably my least favorite thing to do but it has to be done! But I am very happy to be able to serve with some amazing missionaries here. 

My district in Pueblo with Elders Garton, Nelson and Tallman, Super super fun district.

My new district with all the mission moms and kids next to each other

    Definite highlight of the week was being able to talk to my beautiful family on Mother's Day!! It was so awesome and I love my family so much! 

    I definitely have a testimony that the Lord will bless our efforts here. This is His work and I love doing it! Well I hope everyone is doing well and will have a wonderful week!

Love,

Elder Morgan
