(sent on Monday)
Hey everybody 3 more days and then I officially hit a year! The time has gone by so fast and I'm just soaking in every bit of my mission. I have loved serving here in the Colorado Denver North Mission. It has been preparing me for the rest of my life as well as built my testimony, but most importantly it has shown me the Love of Christ for his children. Watching the joy that comes into others life's when receiving the gospel of Jesus Christ is truly amazing! Life has been so good here and I have never felt so much fulfillment serving others and making a positive difference in the world! I love it here so much.
Me and Elder Bird are going to be
together for another transfer as the Zone Leaders and we are going to
be now combining the Parker zone with the Parker south zone. More
missionaries to watch and administrate too but we can do it!We get 28 new missionaries coming in!! It's awesome! 54 by October.
We have organized an effective communication system so we can know how to intelligently help the companionships. We have been in frequent communication with President Savage constantly giving advice and helping him get a feel for the mission. He is a powerful man. We Love him a lot and I know he was called to this mission for a reason.

President visited me and Elder Bird's ward on Sunday for 3rd hour. They
gave an awesome training on missionary work! The YSA loved them! But
they pulled us aside for 15 minutes. They literally told me and Elder
Bird that we are the best ZL's in the mission and our role is crucial
for these new missionaries. All of our requests to combine the zones
came true. He told us he really trusts us and is dependent on us to
really help the mission. He said some really nice things about us, and
its not the only time he said that. It just reconfirms that I'm doing a
good job. It feels awesome!
Not
too much going on. We are still building and maintaining our teaching
pool. We got another member referral, and she has said if she gets an
answer to the Book of Mormon being true she will be baptized but she has
6 conflicting theologies so its been fun trying to teach the lessons
and answer her questions. Really it comes down to knowing if the Book of
Mormon is true. If it is, all of her concerns will be eliminated! So we
will see! We are still finding a lot of people. It is hard because we
have a good first lesson and then they drop of the face of the earth and
never hear from them. or we show up and they aren't there. It's been
tough but we are planting more seeds then the farm behind our house its
been pretty awesome!
Anyway I love and miss
you all, Continue to pray for missionary opportunities to happen and be
yourself! That's when opportunities will come.
Jake as my planner cover;)
