Week 79

Hello there everyone! 

This week has been awesome! I love it here in Hermiston! I'm not back in the previous ward I served in for 6 months. I am now serving in the Butte ward. There are a bunch of people I heard about from the former missionaries serving in the Butte ward, and now it's my ward!  My companion is also the best! His name is Elder Woods. 

The people here are awesome. There are a couple of people that are so prepared for baptism that it's ridiculous! Daniel and Cheyenne will be baptized in about 2 weeks. 

I'm living in a really nice apartment too, it's actually a duplex! 

Anyway, I don't really have much more than that this week. I am still getting established here in the Butte Ward. Hopefully, I'll have more for you next week.

Thanks for the prayers and support. The Gospel is true.

Week 78

Hello there friends and family, 

I have some news! I am being transferred from West Richland to Hermiston! I spent 6 months in Hermiston the last time I was there. Now, I'm heading back! These past two transfers have been weird. I've been transferred to past zones I've served in! I won't be serving in the same ward however. I will be serving in the Butte Ward. I wonder how long I'll be there? One transfer? 2? The rest of my mission? Who knows? All I know is that I'm excited! 

This week has been interesting. There hasn’t been too much going on besides the transfer information. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to teach too many people. That'll change in Hermiston though! Hermiston is my favorite. 

Anyways, love the Gospel, love you all, see ya

Week 77

No e-mails from Elder Rexinger this past week. He had a lot of activities on p-day apparently. He does say they are still doing a lot of service around his area.

We look forward to getting an update tomorrow including transfer info.

Thank you for the prayers and support.

Week 76

Hello Everyone, 

Not a whole lot happened this week unfortunately. It's been heating up a lot though! My comp and I have been in a walking area with summer, 100 degree weather. This is best enjoyed in dark pants and a button up white shirt with a tie. The missionary tan has been coming along. 

We spent a good amount of time this week doing service again. We dug another hole, this one bigger than the last. We moved a large amount of cedar wood that had been cut down in a member's backyard. We also have the opportunity to do more service tomorrow in helping move furniture and artwork in the new Stake Center here in West Richland. We really enjoy doing service here, it gives us something productive to do that helps bring us as a district closer together. Unity makes things a lot better.

Not too much happening teaching wise, besides the 8 o'clock visits we've been having. Being in the homes of members is wonderful, especially being able to teach them the missionary discussions. That brings the Spirit strongly into the home. 

Love you all! Thank you for the prayers and support.

Week 75

Hello there friends and family, 

How are ya? I know I haven't sent an email for a while. It's become harder and harder for me as time goes on. Speaking of time going on, I've been on my mission for 18 months! 75% of my mission has come and gone. It's very weird. 

This week has consisted of a LOT of service. We spent time digging holes, moving rocks, loading a truck, helping install the new organ for the new stake center here in West Richland, moved some mulch, and we did some landscaping. It's been the best! I love service!

We also took a hike this morning on Candy Mountain. We do a lot of stuff together as a district. It's great to be able to come together and go about doing good while having fun together.

Not a whole lot has happened teaching wise here. That's always tough, but it's good to look on the bright side of things and strive for a brighter future. 

I'm tired. I love you all. Thank you for the prayers and support. The Gospel is true.

I am calling Elder Rexinger to repentance tomorrow when we talk for slacking on his e-mails. Sorry but at least he sent some pics over the past month I can share.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

Week 73

Elder Rexinger forgot to send another e-mail last week. Here are some pics I have been collecting for such an occasion so I can at least send something out to his family/friends.

Thank you for the support and prayers.
