Monday, March 3, 2014 "Letter to the President"

Helloooo!!!

 

Well... Looks like I'm going to be a Utah Ute ha ha. We'll see what happens with it all! Things are going super great over here! No complaints... For my email today, I'm just going to copy and paste my letter to President Scott for today because that's the same thing that I want to be telling you anyways!

 

 

President Scott,

Well, President. I guess the time has finally come for me to write you about what my mission truly means to me. Its one of the most bitter sweet feelings that I've ever experienced in my life but all I can say is I'm very excited to begin the next portion of my life. Before I begin I just want to express my gratitude for all that Sister Scott and yourself have done for me. I really am in debt to you for the knowledge and wisdom that you have shared with me and for the wonderful friendship we've had. Thank you so much.

WHAT DOES MY MISSION MEAN TO ME?

To sum that question up into one word would be EVERYTHING. I really don't know how to explain the 'what', but I can definitely share the 'how' and the 'why'.

My plan in high school was never to serve a mission. I remember many of my friends and peers begin to prepare but I never felt like it was for me. I always thought that it was a long portion of time that could be better spent in university or other causes. But I will never forget the time that I actually used my agency and desire to try and find out if everything I had been taught, since youth, was true. I still remember the feelings I felt as I read the Book of Mormon and went to the Temple for the first couple of times. I will never forget the first time being "embraced" by the Spirit as I read that I would be serving in the Canada Toronto Mission. Ever since that day, I have known that this is where I needed to be.

"Our most significant opportunities will be found in times of greatest difficulty" President Thomas S. Monson. This quote sums up what my mission was like. It was HARD. There were times where I felt complete joy rush from me after a contact screams at me, or after a door was slammed on my face. There were times where my companion and I didn't get along or where our investigators just wouldn't, for the life of them, progress. I have come to know though, with everything, that "if we want to know our Savior, then we have to walk the path He walked". My mission means so much to me because I have literally felt the Savior walk with me at times and pull me through. His Atonement has redeemed and enabled me to become someone that I NEVER could have become without His divine help. Through my trials, I have seen many of my weaknesses formed into strengths (Ether 12:27), and have felt the Hand of the Lord push me onward in those dark times. I have come to know that "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Phil 4:13) and that there is no name, way nor means by which salvation can come but through Christ (Mosiah 3:17). My mission means so much to me because its taught me to rely on my Savior more than myself.

One of the coolest things to me is reflecting back on my Patriarchal Blessing about my mission. The incredible thing is that the biggest paragraph in the whole thing is when it speaks of my mission. The whole Blessing relies and relates back to my mission more than anything else. The things that it says I will learn, have been learned. The things which will carry me through the remainder of my days have come through this 2 year ministry. President, I wanted to thank you and the Lord for the opportunities that I have had to serve in leadership for the time that I have. The transfers that I have been privileged enough to lead and serve others, have been the ones that I have learned the most from. They have taught me how to really care for others. To have genuine concern for them and for their well being. As well, to acquire true Christ-like charity for them through service. I've added up an estimation of how many companion exchanges I've been fortunate enough to go on and it roughly adds to about 60. Those were some incredible learning moments for me. I remember my first one as a District Leader when a missionary told me to “be Elder Beyer, not just another leader”. I've worked on that every single day since then. I really do know that true leadership comes when you and the Lord work together in love to inspire the people you serve. There is nothing that I cherish more than looking out into a crowd of missionaries and bearing my witness of Christ and inviting them to help others gain the same. I have loved being able to influence others and feel of their love, and support, as I have been serving amongst them. Its been the greatest honor for me.

I may not have baptized the most on my mission, but I have definitely baptized the people who I was sent here for. Each of them have impacted my life in such a way that I will never be able to explain it to anyone because each moment I spent with them was so sacred that I can't express my feelings through words. Being able to do the baptismal interviews for so many people has influenced me to know that this work is real. Hearing people, who only have know the Restored Gospel of Christ for such a short time, bear a strong witness of what they know has made me really understand that this is true. There is no way that it's not.

One of my favorite memories about my own testimony though came at one point when I reflected one night in Toronto. I remember looking across the city and seeing the beautiful lights and sight and thinking to myself “E. Beyer... Do you really believe in this?”.. I thought about it again and again and I realized “You know what... Yes. I absolutely do!” There have been times where I have felt my testimony wasn't as strong as it should be and the remedy for it was bearing my testimony to every person I came in contact with. My testimony has grown so much, and my favorite thing about being a missionary has been sharing mine and promising blessings to those who try and cultivate their own.

Overall President, my concluding thoughts are simple. My mission means so much to me because I have come to gain a stronger testimony of the Truth. I know that God lives and that He is our Loving Heavenly Father. I know that He is perfect in every way. I know with all of my heart that He wants us all to return to Him and its only through His Son, Jesus Christ, that we can. I can't even fathom the love Jesus Christ has for me and yet I long for it because I know that He died to make me whole. His Atonement is real and its applicable to anyone that wants to feel of it. I know that His Gospel is perfect and that we, as imperfect beings, can one day become as He is through it. I know that the Truth that He brought was lost after His death and that there was indeed a great apostasy, but as firmly as I believe that it was lost, I know without a shadow of doubt that it has been restored onto the earth again. I know Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God and that he truly “saw a pillar of light” and that through him the Truth has been restored. I know this because I have a unwavering faith in the Book of Mormon as the Word of God. It has taught me more about the Atonement of Christ than any other book I've ever read. I know families can be forever, and that Gods work is hastening now. I love being a missionary and know that His work brings eternal joy. My mission has been the most fulfilling thing I've ever done and I thank God daily that I served.

Again President, I want to thank you and Sister Scott for all you have done for me. I love you both immensely and consider you as parents in my life. Thank you again.

Love,

Elder B. Beyer

I love this picture below because its of my first day in the field ha ha I look like a baby!!

 

Well everyone... With everything I just want you to know this much... I LOVE my Savior Jesus Christ. Over the past couple weeks I have just come to feel at complete ease and stress free as I have served Him the remainder of my days, because I know that I gave Him and God my all. I tried my best. I wasn't perfect but through my imperfections I felt the Lord "cover the rest" and make up for my mistakes. I truly have felt His cleansing power as Ive gone out and served others and have felt His love. I have felt my Heavenly Father say "well done thou good and faithful servant" and I've never been happier or more at peace.

I love you all so much. I'm STOKED to see you next week :) I love you. Until then, BE HAPPY. GET STOKED ABOUT LIFE. STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH IN GOD, because He's real.

Forever and Always,

Family!!!

 

No I have not gotten the package yet. I have not gone to Brampton still. We will be going there tomorrow though so no worries haha! I'll get it then. Hey and FYI don't send anything else by mail. I got this letter from the Mission Office saying to tell you guys that so that I wouldn't still be getting things when I wasn't here haha!

 

It sounds like you had a great week last week and that you are celebrating in the best of ways! That's super great to hear!

 

I'm doing so great right now! Ive been really praying and just focusing on the precious time that I have left and its been incredible to just work hard and feel the Lord in my life. The more I draw near to the end, the more I feel the Lord thanking me for what I have done and for everything that has been accomplished in my 2 year ministry out here in Ontario. Its been a great feeling to feel of His love and appreciation in letting me know that my time that I have spent has not been in vain, wasted nor unsuccessful in His eyes. I'm grateful to feel of His love because its the only thing that keeps me moving and going and helps me to really focus on whats really important in life. It actually brings me to think of Pres. Monson's talk "I Will Not Fail Thee Nor Forsake Thee" when he says about the obstacles that he faced after the death of his wife:

"Of utmost comfort to me during this tender time of parting have been my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge I have that my dear Frances lives still. I know that our separation is temporary. We were sealed in the house of God by one having authority to bind on earth and in heaven. I know that we will be reunited one day and will never again be separated. This is the knowledge that sustains me."

The Thing that has helped me more than anything over the last little while has been my testimony that I know that God lives and that His plan is of perfection. He really does have so much more to offer if we just rely on Him and His timing with everything. More often than not, we fall short of what we want to accomplish but I know that through the Lord we can be brought up to the point that God wants us to be at if we just rely on Him with it all.

 

This last week was quite a week of growth. We saw some incredible things come our way and saw the missionaries really catch hold on whats really important. In all my time as a missionary Ive never seen so much growth and so much help from the Lord. He is really moving the needle and pushing for growth out here in the field and I know that He is doing it in all of the world right now. I was watching a clip for Hastening the Work in Europe and Elder Dallin H. Oaks said something that really stood out to me. He said:

"When you are involved in the work of the Lord, the power behind you is always greater than the obstacles before you"

 

I have really come to know that that is true. I don't doubt it for a single second. I know that even in the HARDEST of times, that the Lord will enable us to overcome it. Its real. The Atonement works, i know this because I have felt it in my life.

 

We are seeing some great things happening here in London. If everything works out according to plan we should see a few people being baptized on March 9. We have been working hard and the Lords been placing the people in our paths. Its been ideal. I love this work. I love God and love all that He's done for me. I'm so grateful for my mission! I feel like we are working so hard that everything is blending together and I cant think of anything specific to tell you ha ha other than the fact that we are busting and pounding the pavement and really just finishing strong!

 

I love you all so much! Forever and Always,

Tuesday, February 18, 2014 "Happy Birthday Elder Beyer"

HEY THERE!!

 

This week has been a pretty great one here in London! We've seen some great leaps on the Progression scale! There is no doubt about that! We have been trying to get the Zone focused on the right now and find the gaps and fix them. We have gone on a step by step scale on how to really change this zone and make it better and have implemented some crazy things to help them do that. Its been sweet to see that if we make a big focus on finding then everything else just falls into play and its been really working out to our benefit this last little while. Its been great.

 

Right now we are teaching some solid people and its been really fun to help them. We are teaching a mother and son named Sarah and Christopher! They are working towards baptism on the 9th of March. Its been so funny to teach them. Christopher is 8 and he asked us to find him a suit so that he could look like a missionary and come to church. From then on out we searched high and low to be able to find someone who had one ha ha it took a few weeks and a LOT of time but we got one and he came to church wearing this sweet tiny suit ha ha he was STOKED. They are some really incredible people who are seriously interested in the Gospel and have been truly receptive to the messages that we have shared with them. It was really fun to be able to help them understand that Gods plan is perfect and let them understand that through baptism and being obedient to the commandments would insure that they would be able to live together forever and always! They are some of the most prepared people ever, like when we extended the invitation to be baptized they were just like "yeah for sure" haha it was really sweet! We'll see what happens with them! I hope that everything works out to where they can be baptized!! 

 

As well we are teaching this guy named Chris who is working towards the 2nd of March, he is a super chill guy too from Ireland! Its funny because he looks like what Parker Bass will in like 30 years hahah its funny stuff but he is really cool. He just really wants to follow the Lord and is doing all that he can to do that! Its been really great to see him!

 

Honestly, I have been really loving everything right now. We are working hard and really trying to do the best that we can! I love you all so much! Have an awesome week!

 

Love,

Monday, February 11, 2014 "Zone Training Meeting"

 HEY HEY HEY!

 

 

How's everything been? Things here are super good for me on the Canadian front! We are starting to see some wonderful things and are picking up the pace with the Work! The Lord has placed some super prepared people in our paths and we are seeing the fruits of it for sure! Its been super awesome! This one day we were just so sick of not having investigators haha I mean, every single one we found would bail on us and it would just turn super sour and not work out at all... so from there we just went and tracted some apartments.. there we found some decent people nothing special and found this lady who wasn't interested but told us to go upstairs to her friend.. so we go up there and met Sarah. She is like the most solid person in the world! She is looking for a church for her son, and is really trying to understand Gods purpose with everything... I mean.. incredible person! Its been really great to teach her and to get people in there to meet her, but we are really looking forward to what the future has in store for her and her son Christopher! As well we went down a couple floors and found this guy named Chris.. He is just looking for a peace of mind and conscience and everything! It was like a testimony in itself that the Lord is really preparing people to receive the Truth of this Gospel. Its been super fun just running around and working our hardest but at the same time really focusing on what the Zone needs and trying to get them to feel the blessings of working hard. The Zone has taken a HUGE step forward and has maintained the Growth that has been established since E' Bramwell and I arrived. Its great to see the zone average 50 new investigators a week and have plenty of them progressing towards baptism. I love to see what the Lord is doing and how He works!

 

Zone training meeting this week was great. For the opening portion of the meeting, Elder Bramwell and I instructed on how to set expectations with investigators of coming to church three times before they can be baptized, prior to picking a specific baptismal date. In order to demonstrate this to the zone, Elder Bramwell and I bought a bag of candy and held it up at the beginning of the demonstration. We asked Elder Hewitt (one of our District Leaders from England) to come up. Once he was up, we asked if he wanted the bag of candy, in which he responded Yes. We told him that he would have to run around the pews in the chapel a few times and we would give it to him. Being Elder Hewitt, he said never mind and sat down :P. So we asked for a volunteer and Elder Williams, who has only been in the mission field for two weeks, threw his hand up with greenie fire. As he came up, we gave the same instructions. Elder Williams ran around the pews twice and then stopped with expectations of receiving the candy. I turned to Elder Bramwell confused and asked him if we forgot anything. Elder Bramwell quickly remembered that we meant for him to do it three times. So off Elder Williams went, running around the pews three times. When he returned, we forgot one more thing. On the second round, he was suppose to do it backwards.We repeated this process, two or three more times. Hoping on one leg, counterclockwise, and crawling. In some ways good, some ways bad...Elder Williams did anything we asked for the bag of candy, however it was frustrating that we kept changing the requirements.This demonstration represents how missionaries often set baptismal dates. Often times, the investigator will have no clue that they need to come to church three times before they can be baptized. Investigators will select a specific date for baptism, and then are disappointed in the weeks to come to find out that because of scheduling conflicts or previous arrangements they cannot make it to church and then are disappointed at the fact that they cant be baptized. Then the date needs to be reset and will most likely be soft. It was good because Elder Williams kept going and was "elect" in the sense that whatever changed in the equation, he was willing to comply so he could receive the incentive. However, it was bad because it did not truly represent how normal investigators would act. If we as missionaries kept changing the expectations, they would give up and quit just as Elder Hewitt did, because in their mind, the reward is not worth the effort. We should instead, let the investigator know of the church attendance requirement, and then pick a baptismal date that works with them.The zone loved it and brought some good energy to start off the meeting! The rest of it turned out really well and it helped set the tone for the rest of it. My favorite part about all of those meetings is when I get the chance to bear my testimony at the end. I really know that what we share has changed my life.

 

I really love being a missionary its the greatest thing ever. I hope you all are well.. I'm sorry if my letters suck, I'll be honest my desire to write them is pretty low hahah I love you still I promise!

 

Forever and Always,

Elder B. Beyer

 

Monday, February 3, 2014 "It's a Miracle"

HEY HEY!

Hate to burst the bubble but I really doubt I get that package before the 17th ha ha we just went to Brampton and wont be going back for a while! (His birthday package!)

Troy looks great I'm super happy for the character! I hope that they are doing well.

Things this week were good! We really didn't see the great results that I would have liked to see but it was still really great to see what happened. We had a Leadership meeting in Brampton and it went really well for us, the thing that is crazy about everything is that we had only a few days to be able to go out and work in our own area.. but it was a great learning opportunity in itself ha ha. We just pounded the pavement again and went out searching for the elect day after day and really didn't find anything but Muslims... I love how firm they are in their faith, but its so closed off to what God really wants to the point that its beyond blind faith! And they are very... stubborn and set in their ways.. so that's all that we had day after day after day...and it was a bummer because we weren't teaching lessons, we weren't finding people who would listen and we weren't seeing the success that we wanted.. SO.. we just kept on trying our best and kept going. Sunday comes around and really haven't found anyone too prepared that week, and we both fasted and fasted that we would find someone prepared to be baptized this transfer.. and we got home from church, ended the fast and went on our way. Well within the hour we ended up knocking on some random guys door who was beyond incredible. We talked about why we go to church and how we need to base ourselves in Christ and the Restoration etc, and he said "You know, the only thing I don't believe in as of right now is Joseph Smith... But who am I to say he's not a prophet when I don't know anything about him right? As long as you believe in God as our Father, and Christ as the Son, I'm more than willing to hear what you have to say." It was a MIRACLE. I hope that we can see some great things in the upcoming weeks here in London!

Things are going great right now, still working my butt off and really trying to do my  best. There have been a few times where I've been pretty cheesed at my performance, but the thing that I have come to know is that the Lord doesn't necessarily want us to be exactly perfect... He just wants us to understand when we aren't and then make the change and start fresh. I love repentance, and the joy that it really does bring into the lives of the people I meet as well as in my own life. I love being able to partake the sacrament and feel that cleansing power of the Atonement. I know this work is true and love helping others to be clean of their sins through the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. I love you all, let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out!

Forever and Always,

Elder B. Beyer :)

Monday, January 27, 2014 "Final Transfer!"

HOLY COW!!! I can not believe that at all. Man, I LOVE Caden and Hayden. They just look like they should be best friends haha. That is really so weird for me to see everyone just like normal but this time they look more mature and changed. Its really cool to see that.

Did you get to work with Spanish investigators this week?

Yes I did, it was really weird. There was a few times where I forgot how to say somethings and forgot how to teach in Spanish haha. It was really weird to me. But it went really well I really enjoyed that tender mercy. haha I don't know if the old grammar is as perfect as Lando says haha but its coming along for sure.

Any leadership meetings?

Not this week, we will this week though. I'm really excited.
What was the funniest thing that happened this week?

Hmm... I don't know. Great question haha. I don't know... I know that we are constantly laughing and having a good time but I really can't think of anything that stands out right now.

 How do you like your ward?

Great ward. We have a lot of really great people in it and they have been really helpful in supporting and feeding us. Its been hard to lose weight because they feed us so much haha
Have you gotten pretty close to your bishop?

Yeah he is the man. He has been out of town for a little while but he is really great and wants to do the work of the Lord.
How is Issac progressing?
Great but really slowly. Its a process for sure, but its awesome. It takes everyone their own time to be able to do stuff right? Its going really well though.

So with your other question. I'M STAYING HERE. I'm excited! I'm with E Bramwell again! I just realized something really crazy haha, that I served in Spanish work for 12 and 4 in English.. and half the time I served in Spanish was in Toronto haha. Pretty Long time if you think about it like that, I think that is maybe why I love it so much!

We have been really pounding the pavement like crazy. We are trying to switch some things up for this next transfer to be able to work Hard and Smart at the same time! Its going to be a lot of fun. We have had quite the amount of changes in the Zone and are hoping to see some real miracles coming up from that! I'm really excited!

 

I don't have a whole lot to say! Its been busy busy busy that's about it! We are just working hard and will hopefully see some great things soon! I love you all so much. I love this gospel its so true and I really love being a missionary! The Canada Toronto Mission is the best one ever!

Forever and Always,

Monday, January 20, 2014 "Next Door Neighbors to Detroit"

AH! I cant believe they said YES ha ha. That's pretty crazy! Yeah that Elder is Carsen's new companion. I cant believe that about Riker! That is SO cool! Tell him I love him and that I'm SO excited for him! He is the man. That's really so great to hear about that!

Ha ha yeah there are tons of videos on there. I have tried to get a lot so that I will be able to remember lots more than just a picture! but yeah so they stayed in the same room as us when we were all there. SO it was 4 missionaries in the bed room and their study room was where the weight room was. It was SO crowded. I have lots of pictures on this card I think. Its super funny!

Detroit!

What is the funniest thing that happened this week?

Well, I went on an exchange this week with the Elder from Farmington Elder Cowley ha ha... and we went out tracting on a "First Nation Reserve" aka Native American Indians ha ha.. Well it was pretty intense. They are super spread out houses and some are like log cabins. Well we went out and were tracting and trying to get in and out there, there is like no rules basically. Its their land and whatever they want to do they basically can.. So all the dogs out there are not on leashes and they roam around wherever. So this one wolf looking one goes up and pees on our car first off, and we go and see some little tiny baby puppies and were like AWW so cute! So E Cowley whips out his camera to take a picture.. well as he did the momma dog FLIPS and starts charging us.. Well in the mean time we are backing up and standing our ground at the same time, and then out of the corner of our eyes this white wolf thing that's tattered up with bloody wounds comes into the picture and was surrounding us. Then the first one that peed on the car was behind us and was DEATH calling some more dogs/wolves to help KILL us.. during this whole time I was like DON'T RUN, STAY CALM, TAKE OFF YOUR BACKPACK AND IF THEY CHARGE CLOCK ITS NOGGIN.. hahaha I thought
we were going to die.. ha ha but we got out safe and what not. We were laughing so hard!

What have you and Elder Bramwell done for fun on P-Days? 

Nothing really.. there is not too much to do in London. We play sports, get food with other missionaries, umm... nothing too intense haha.

How are you liking the Subaru?

Oh LOVE it. Its so fun, its a pretty quick small little car. Its the newest car I've ever driven in my life. when we first got it, it had like 20 miles on it haha pretty cool stuff!

Do you get to teach Spanish since being in London?

I have contacted lots of Spanish people since being here yes, but I have not taught a single soul yet. I'm going on an exchange with our Spanish district leader though and we are going to :) I'm excited!

Did you have any leadership meetings this week?

Nope, not this week! But we will in like 2 more.

 

The hands down best part about this week was going on a 2 hour both ways trip to Windsor! aka... NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS TO DETROIT!!!!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!! :) :) I love it so much! I think the initial reaction of Elder Bramwell and I both was just SCREAMING and saying AMERICA!! ha ha I couldn't stop talking about it, I was like "I cant believe we are so close to the holy land" or "Man I love America" hahaha. It was great stuff! I will send some great pictures of that this week no worries.

 

I'm super happy about Carsen. He is a BOSS. I really know that he is one of the best missionaries that I have come in contact with. I think he is the man.

 

I had the opportunity to do 2 baptismal interviews this week, it was incredible. I love doing that. I think overall that is my favorite responsibility I have right now. Its really remarkable being able to sit down with someone who has been through it all, and to see where they came from and where they are at right now! Its my favorite thing ever. I think the best part about it all is hearing them share their testimony with me and say that they know God is their Father, Jesus is His Son and that the Church and Gospel of Jesus Christ have been restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. Its a testimony builder of mine to see humble seekers of truth find it.

 

I know this is the Truth. Read your scrips and pray and you'll be happy! I promise! I love you all. I hope that you are happy and are constantly trying to help others find or return to the pathway of God.

Forever and Always,

Monday, January 13, 2014 "Time is Flying"

Those are CRAZY pictures ha ha! I was in aw when I saw all of them!

How is your zone doing?

Super GOOD right now we are still on the upward climb right now and there are some really good things happening here! We are really working hard and the zone is doing the same thing. The District Leaders are really helping us out to make everyone stay on the same page with everything as well.
Are they catching the vision of working hard?

Absolutely. They are doing incredibly.
Did you know Carsen's new companion that came from the Toronto Stake?

Yeah what's funny is, he is a recent convert.. and I don't know if he did for sure, but I think Elder Rogers my previous companion in Barrie was there for his baptism.. I'm not sure though. But E Bramwell went teaching all the time with Jamari, and I was there for his farewell because it was at Stake Conference. I tried to go and talk to him but he was swarmed with people haha. Pretty cool eh? Small world when you're Mormon!
What is the funniest thing that happened this week?

Hmm.. Well we tracted a door and this Polish lady answered and then her Indian (From India) Husband came over and they started talking to each other "Behind our backs" in Chinese and Elder Bramwell started talking to them haha. It was pretty weird. More like "What the Heck?" kind of moment but still really funny.
What is the most spiritual thing that happened this week?

We have been teaching a lot of people and they are really understanding the Gospel. One is a kid named Isaac and he is doing great. He wants to go to BYU and is working with us to understand more about what we believe as Mormons. Its just really fun to look at someone and promise them that there is something better if they ACT. I think that is the biggest thing that was incredible, promising him that living the Word of Wisdom will bless him so much.

Thanks for sending me some questions to answer, it makes it so much easier to write letters that way haha. I honestly never know what to say when we sit down for emails anymore haha. I really don't. The week has been great and I know that some miracles are about to occur here in London!

This last week we had a really great meeting with the entire zone. We met together and got everyone rallied around the idea of being more unified and really doing our best every single day. It was cool because going in, we had some good amounts of unity in the zone, but leaving it we were like "Team London". It was great because we had the District Leaders get up there and discuss some important things that could really benefit us as individuals as well as companionship's. 

We are really starting to see the momentum switch and really start to be something incredible. I think my favorite thing about it all is when we are up there instructing there is just a HUGE amount of missionaries sitting up there and we have them all working towards the cause of becoming better. Its great.

Well the time is FLYING. I really cant believe how fast it goes sometimes and just cant believe that we have been as fortunate as we have been lately to see the blessings in our lives. The Lord is really hastening His work and I know that all of have the blessing of being a part of it! I love you all so much!

Forever and Always,

Monday, January 6, 2014 "Move the Needle"

HEY THERE!!!!

 

Mom, something really funny is that I memorized that scripture already and I recite it to myself lots. I love that scripture. Its the best one to share with people going through a hard time. I love it.(John 14:27)

 

Man, I laughed SO hard about that story of Caden at Pepper Bellys hahah, I thought it was so funny! 

 

How were your leadership meetings this week?

 It was really good. We stayed the night at the Kitchener Zone Leaders apt, so E Prochnow and E Parker. haha it was really fun! But the whole meeting went great, we got some really good insight on how we will be able to improve the zone a little more and it seems that everything will be very applicable to what we have planned up to now.

Have you gotten any new investigators?

 We have found a few new this week yes. The way we do is mainly through tracting. I love it so much. Its so fun.

 

How is the garbage in the living room and you taking a few things each day?

 That night we walked into the house and threw it all away haha. Its been out since Christmas. Its really great now though, the Spirit can be felt :)

What do you think of your ward?

 I love it, the Bishop and Bishopric are incredible. They have a HUGE missionary focus and they are working on making it happen now. I really enjoy the ward. They feed us like crazy so no real complaints there either. We are having a really great time. This week E Bramwell and I got up and bore our testimonies to introduce ourselves a little more, and it really turned out great. We are loving it thus far.

 

How big is the ward?

like 130 active members on average are there.

 

Its been a great week to be a missionary in the Canada Toronto Mission. No complaints on my behalf. I really have been loving it. We are working hard, really trying to focus on what is going on and our whole theme right now is to "Move the Needle". My comp and I have come in and are really trying to just make sure that things occur and that only comes if you are on top of it. We have been fortunate enough to see some great things happen as the missionaries rally around a common objective to be able to really help others come unto Christ. Our zone has the goal of baptizing 10 people in the month of January and this week has proved to be a great one as we have started strong with 3 yesterday. I can not wait to see what is in store for the London Zone.

 

In our area we are working with lots of really great people. Some aren't as... willing as others, but overall they are incredible people who essentially could be members of the church. I think my favorite part about English work is that reason right there... that anyone you teach is a potential person that you can teach and bring into the Gospel. Its really exciting. But there is one named Isaac who is really incredible. He came to us and wanted to give us summaries of what he has previously read in the Book of Mormon just so he could make sure he was really getting everything out of it. He was so detailed as he explained Nephi's story and said "Did I miss anything?" It was so funny and incredible. I know there are prepared people out there who are waiting to hear the message of the gospel.

 

This week E Bramwell and I went tracting on a street.. now this street immediately was my favorite one yet, solely based on its name.. "BROCK STREET" haha. It was very funny because the parallel street to it just happened to be "STEPHEN STREET"... It made me truly feel like I was sent here for a reason hahah. but it was funny and great, so the first house we knocked just happened to be this happy guy who let us in from the cold and was more than willing to have a conversation about Christ with him. Now this story is not going to go in the way that you think.. But he ended up being a Pastor from a church and knew his Bible to the T... Now.. the reason i tell this story is because we went back and forth discussing different insights from the Bible and different views that other religions and Christians have towards this one book.. this man had studied and been a pastor for over 15 years while my companion and I both had never picked up nor read really in depth the bible until about 2 years ago haha.. and even then not that much.. but I knew as we conversed and stayed up to pace with him that he knew that we knew that what we shared was true. I love opportunities like that to really "Put My Faith On the Line" and see what comes out of it. Over the time that I have served I have come to really know that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ and that this is Their Church on the earth. I witness that with all of my heart and know that what we do now really does effect our future. I'm all about the Karma gig, and know that we get what we go for. Before leaving there, the man accepted a Book of Mormon and said that he'd give it a shot. To really read and try to come to know of the truth.

 

I love you and hope that you are well with life. If there is anything I can do for you, just let me know!

 

Much love forever and always,

Monday, December 30, 2013 "Love you"

HEY HEY HEY!

Christmas Day!

hahahahahahah I laughed SO hard about the Charlie thing hahahahha! You all seem really really good right now and seem like you are enjoying the great wondrous life! So the house looks SUPER different haha. That's so weird! Do we still have the piano?

Well.. I really don't know what more to write or say haha. This week was a really cool week for E Bramwell and I. We are seeing great success and are really having a BLAST. Ive never laughed so hard in my life. This has been really good for me because I have felt lately that I've had to "step up" so much with a lot of things that I've slipped out of who I really am for a while.. but now I feel like the Lords given me this opportunity to be able to keep those "stepping up" moments and still be myself. Its been really great. I love it.

The count down is on!!

Listen to the crazy miracles of this week. This kid named Issac walked into the bishops office and asked if he could be able to get an ecclesiastical endorsement from the Bishop so that he could go to BYU. So the bishop took his number and passed him off to us so he could "know more about BYU and the standards" we taught him and his mom and they are miracles. They told us that they have family in Utah and that they are members. The greatest thing that they said was that they have seen the biggest change in their families life for the better after they joined the church. They said they are looking for a sense of belonging and really want to know the truth. I cant explain how much the Lord is hastening his work by preparing people. Its incredible. Another lady, we tracted into and she told us she wasn't interested and to go to her neighbors. Well we went and set up a time and came back later. While we went back the first lady that sent us there was there and she was the most prepared lady ever. She almost was baptized, and the only reason she didn't was because she didn't receive this GIANT answer.. and the only reason she shewed us off was because she thought that people in our church would judge her because of that... by the end of explaining things to her she asked us for a book of Mormon to be able to read and see if she could get that answer again. SO COOL.

The best part about the week was our "Skills and Interviews".. Its crazy coming from a zone that you have been in for over 9 months to one where you know basically nobody... We came in with the expectation of letting these missionaries know that we love them but that the performance of the zone right now is at a minimum and that there is HUGE room for improvement. The way that we started it off was the day before we asked the missionaries to bring us 10 bucks each.. they didn't know what for and a lot of them (when we found out later) thought we were ripping them off. We showed them that we have to be obedient to the counsels of our leaders and E Bramwell shared this story of a mission President who asked for the right shoe of his missionaries to see who was willing to listen to his counsel. It set the tone strongly and we just went from there. It was one of the funnest instructions I've ever been a part of. The missionaries have been doing incredible things, and its only been like 4 days since then! They are out and really trying the best that they can. Its been great.

I love my mission. I love everything about it. This has seriously been the greatest thing that I have ever done and I'm so grateful for the blessings that I have seen. I know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ.. and it kills me to see people who have it in their lives but just don't apply it at all... its heart wrenching. Because they could really be able to see the most blessings of their lives if they just tried to come closer to the Savior. I know if we try to go to Him that He will run to us. I love it and I love all of you!

Forever and Always,

HEY THERE!!!

 

Mom. Homesick is the farthest thing from where I'm at right now. I don't want to be home, I'm sorry to say that but its SO true. I LOVE it out here ha ha! its SO much fun and being a missionary in this wonderful time is the thing that is most special to me, I love it. I love talking about Christ in the time of His birth and love talking about how all of us can come closer to Him. There is NOTHING like it. So don't worry, I'm not homesick :)

 

Those pictures are so funny. Caden is probably the creepiest looking kid in the world in the Christmas card hahaha I imagined him sticking his head out a window and saying "Ive got some candy in my car kids!" hahahah so funny! but his hair is really rad, i love it. Those pics of Bubs are so cute. Its so funny because hunt brax and bubs look the same just taller and stuff you know? really funny!

 

This week has been one of the craziest yet funnest weeks of my mission! hands down haha! I LOVE it. Elder Bramwells a champion! we are the triple threat, we go and talk to English, Chinese and Spanish and have been working our tails off. The apartment was literally the nastiest thing I've ever lived in. We cleaned it and threw tons of stuff away, I'll send you a picture of all the junk we accumulated over this past week. Its gross. We started the week with zero investigators and really have just been working hard and we've found some pretty incredible people. I love English work, you can set some great expectations with people and can express yourself SO much easier than in Spanish haha! we have been working really really hard and its really paying off.

 

I'M really so happy right now, i love my mission. I love life and I'm SO grateful for my Savior. I have a few stories I will tell tomorrow... i hope that we can find someone to use their computer... we haven't yet but we will continue to try. don't worry, we'll cal you tomorrow and set something up :) I really love you all so much. I cant wait to see you in 2 :)

 

Forever and Always,

Monday, December 16, 2013 "Be Positive"

HEY THERE!

 

I LOVE the Caldwell's. If you want to go you can, I LOVE them.

 

My mormon.org is lame ha ha I made that in the MTC and parts out here! Its so funny! You should make one, they are like "Mormon Facebooks" haha

 

Release date. Gross. (We told Elder B. Beyer we got his release date...March 12)

 

I'm not going to lie, I have NO idea about skype ha ha we are whitewashing in.. so we know literally zero members and people down there so we will just play it by ear yeah? we'll call you on the 24 :) let you know how it goes. I was so sad when I found out that Elder Steele was going home I'm not going to lie! I LOVE that character ha ha he is from Eagle Idaho did you know that?

 

Well as you know, I'm going to be leaving Toronto here and go back down to London! Its going to be pretty crazy! I'm excited! its going to be so fun! I'm going to be with an elder named Elder Bramwell, he is a Chinese elder from California. He is super cool. I know him pretty well, but we are stoked! we will be whitewashing in tomorrow ha ha! this is going to be NUTS, the first time whitewashing for elder b Beyer! We are going to KILL IT! We are going to baptize nations out there!

 

This week was a really good one for me. I got to talk personally with President Scott about a few things, and the biggest thing that stuck out to me was this.. That we ALL need to exaggerate the positive. That's the thing of life. If its cold, say MAN I'm glad Ive got my coat! If you're hungry say, man that food is getting that much better! whatever it needs to be, that's what we need to say! We need to all be as positive as possible because if we do we will be able to access the light of Christ more fully in our lives and really be able to feel the Lords love. Its true. I have seen it in my own life and am so grateful for that! we need to look at all challenges with great happiness and joy!

 

I love you all and hope that you are well :) have a wonderful week, i will SEE you next week :)

 

Forever and Always,

Monday, December 9, 2013 "Christ into Christmas"

HEY HEY HEY!

 

Wow, you all sound and look great! I'm not going to lie, Caden looks filthy. I LOVE the hair!

 

Man, this week was a CRAZY one! CRAZY GOOD because I was a missionary! :) I hope all of you watched that Christmas devotional from the Church this Sunday! It was AWESOME, we had this great family go to it with us, but seriously it was SO good! I really enjoyed hearing the words of the Prophet and Apostles about the great meaning of Christmas. I don't know if I wrote this to you, or in a letter.. But I thought of this Christmas broken down is CHRIST mas.. So Christ- Jesus the Son of God, and Mas- in Spanish means MORE.. CHRIST MORE.. Take this time to think more of Him. One great quote from the Devotional yesterday was "True Happiness comes as you make others happy. When you lose yourself for them, you find Christ." and "The opportunities to give of yourself are limitless." I really hope that you can all grasp onto those concepts and truly strive to LIVE them.

 

 We had some pretty great guests this last week in the mission! Elder Hallstrom and Elder Homer. They talked about some pretty remarkable things that I have really taken to heart. Elder Homer talked about how we need to live our missions with no regrets and that when we get on the plane that we need to be feeling that you left it all there on the table. Elder Hallstrom talked about CHANGE and how its a NOW thing, not later. It was so great to hear those two talks and be able to want to apply them into my life. The 3 points that Elder Hallstrom said about change were that we 1. Gain a vision 2. Make Commitments and 3. Have Self Discipline. If we do those things in life and in a gospel perspective we will be able to become the people that the Lord needs us to be. IT was one of the greatest things ever!  Find something to change and Do it. I invite you! ITS GREAT TO CHANGE AND BECOME BETTER. ITS AWESOME!

 

We have been so fortunate in our area lately, we are teaching some pretty remarkable people who are searching for the gospel of Jesus Christ. It has really helped me know that the gospel is real, and that there are people who are looking for it. We are pretty close to seeing some great things in the area, we have a few working towards baptism and a few who are going out of town for the holidays but will return with the desire and need to be baptized. The coolest thing is teaching families. I LOVE teaching families. They are SO stinking awesome and CAN BE ETERNAL through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

I had a great opportunity to go give 2 baptismal interviews for a husband and a wife out in Mississauga. It was great to be able to talk with them and to go back to The Saga!!!! I miss it so much haha! I think the best thing about being able to go back there was just being able to see the growth that I have had from there to now... I honestly couldn't believe it. We would be driving and I would see places and remember all of the great memories that I had. I remember how GREEN I was haha and how inexperienced I was, and now to see where the Lord has taken me. It has been one of the greatest things to know. That the Lord truly has helped me for the time that I have been out on my mission. I love my mission and am so grateful for the change that its brought in my life. I have come to know that God really is our loving Heavenly Father, and that Jesus Christ is His son. They are perfect and their plan is to help us to become as they are. I know that They live and They LOVE us. The gospel is the means that helps us to transcend all iniquity and evade all the obstacles that Satan places before us. I really know that Joseph Smith is his chosen prophet.. It just makes sense. God has always conveyed His message through prophets, why would He stop now? I know that we are so blessed and have a prophet on the earth today, and am so grateful for that knowledge that I have.

I love you all, and hope you are well. Work hard in all that you do and you WILL see the blessings of the Lord. YOU GET WHAT YOU PUT IN. If you want church to be great and revelatory, then make it that way. If you want the scriptures to be Gods word, then read them as if they were. YOU GET WHAT YOU GO FOR.

 

Forever and Always,

Monday, December 2, 2013 "Happy Thanksgiving"

NICE TRIP PICS!

 

Man... All i have to say is that I feel when I look at Bubs that I'm looking at Carsen and when i look at Doctor Drey that I'm looking in the stinkin mirror.. what in the world is going on haha? what is in the water there in K Town? Steroids yeah? THEY ARE HUGE. haha so funny! I just got some good laughs at these guys!

 

This week was quite the week. I'm not going to lie! It was pretty darn great! We have seen some wonderful miracles and have just seen great success on the Lords part. Ive never seen so many blessings at once in my mission. THE LORD IS HASTENING HIS WORK. I am so grateful to be one of His servants at this time.

 

I think the biggest miracle was seeing this family we have been teaching for a while, come to church. This is a Venezuelan family that is AWESOME. I love them so much. They came and they just loved primary! The kids are really what are going to make this all work out. They are so stinking cool and really are receptive to the Spirit! When they just showed up, EVEN WHEN, they said they weren't, I thought i was going to die.. First of hunger (because we were fasting) but second of just shock! ha ha it was SO awesome. There is no doubt to me, that fasting really works. One cool experience, was that President and Sister Scott were at the church and we were with just the mom, and we taught a lesson with Sister Scott! Now, I'm not just saying this.. but she is like the most spiritual lady ever! The Spirit was SO strong and really helped Jahy to feel that this is the path that she needs to be on, i really have come to feel those blessings and feel the Spirit tell me MULTIPLE times that this is true.

 

Going off of that, we taught this remarkable lesson with this other investigator. He was being VERY evasive with us and was really hesitant with the answers he brought forth. But we testified and invited him to pray to know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God.. and he did.. and ALL of us in the room, whether for the first time or fifth.. received the witness that he is. I know that because of the Spirit that i have felt.

 

Lastly, the coolest thing was hearing a 76 year old, recent convert get up and bear her testimony this week. With all honesty, she got up and told us all how she was found and what impact it has made on her life. The greatest thing was seeing the change and knowing that THIS GOSPEL IS FOR EVERYONE. White or black, young or old. EVERYONE. She is going on vacation this week to El Salvador for a few months.. and this is the thing that stood out most to me. When she said "when i get there, the first thing I'm going to do is thank God for getting me there. He WILL get me there. And then i will go and preach the gospel to my family. I promise you all, that i will return here with good news." I don't recall the last time that i felt the Spirit that strongly. This gospel is intended for families. This gospel changes and helps them. This gospel is intended FOR THEM TO BE FOREVER. Without it, they can NOT be. I can back that up with my testimony. If a 76 year old woman, with poor health but a heart of gold can share the gospel.. then anyone can. And AGAIN, I invite you all to do so.

 

I love you all so much. Pray for opportunities to share this "Good News" with everyone! Be happy and safe!

 

Forever and Always,

HEY HEY HEY!!!

 

I just about died when I saw Kole was engaged to Courtney! ha ha that is SO crazy to me. I was seriously in shock ha ha! Same thing with Lee. He came in and I was like What in the world is going on! It happened so fast it couldn't distract me ha ha I would love to see the picture he took of me because i was just in shock. I was in my PJ's and stuff ha ha it was nuts!

 

This week has been probably one of the greatest ones of my mission! This family that we taught and found when i was up in Barrie were baptized this week!!! it was probably the happiest thing Ive ever experienced! I got to talk to them on the phone and they were just so excited and so grateful for everything! it was incredible :)

 

We got to go on exchanges with one of the Assistants, named Elder Fielding. He is a great guy. We came out together on the plane. It was honestly just what i needed it gave me some serious desire to be the very best that i could be and to just endure with everything! He just reminded me that being a missionary is fun and that you need to just really relax and to be the best that YOU can be, not what anyone else thinks is your best. I got to talk to the other assistant about some things with the mission and Ive come to conclusion about the greatest thing that we need to have in our lives.. That is DISCIPLINE and CONSISTENCY. I have talked about it in every letter that I have written today haha! Its because in all honesty that is exactly what enduring to the end is! We all need to get on the path and be disciplined and constant with our endeavours of becoming who the Lord needs us to become! None of us are ever going to be perfect but as long as we work towards the goal of becoming as of Father in Heaven we will be blessed.

 

We had a pretty awesome miracle this week. We taught a lesson last week to this wonderful Mexican family and they said that they wouldn't be able to go to church that week but that they would the next.. well we lost contact with them. Their phone got disconnected and we were like "great.. we will never seen them again!" But we prayed. Really tried to have as much faith as possible, and then we were sitting in church and they just came in! We taught them after, and they said "we have been really looking for a church to join and to be close with. But we are looking for the one with the truth" My companion had to respond because my mouth was just wide open and i was just in awe haha! I really couldn't believe it. The Lord is HASTENING His work RIGHT NOW! I invite you all to continue trying to be the best you can with missionary work. I know that I write it in almost every letter, and its for a purpose.. its because its important. Just like in the Book of Mormon 34 times it quotes that "If we are obedient we will be blessed" Remember that with missionary work. I know that there are plenty members in Utah, but a lot aren't and A LOT more are less active. Reach out your hand and serve your fellowman, with the promise that its as if you were doing it unto CHRIST HIMSELF. Ill let you know this much, the Pedro family (the ones we found in Barrie) came from us helping them move. Reaching out and doing those "small and simple things" WORKS. Trust me. Remember that this was a commitment from Elder Ballard from General Conference... To invite at least ONE person before Christmas.. That's an Apostle of the LORD, I'm positive he said that for a reason. I'm just reiterating what he said :)

 

With Love forever and always,

Monday, November 18, 2013 "Not going to lie!"

Hey There!

 

"Yeah we know how to cook"

I'm not going to lie.. seeing Derek, Brock and Kole was like the WEIRDEST THING EVER. Haha I really was like "what the french toast!?" haha I cant believe how fast time really has flown by and where we really have gone. I cant believe that it is almost December right now. That to me is the weirdest thing.

That poem that you sent me is EXACTLY what a mission is haha. No lie.

The FAM....Me, E. Parker, E. Johanson and E. Landgren

This week has been a really sacred and special one for me. I don't know if you will remember them, but there was a family that we taught and found in Barrie through helping them move. Their named the Pedros? Do you remember them? So they haven't been baptized still but were really working hard for everything. I wrote them a note when we went to Mission Leadership Council and gave it to Elder Thompson and he gave it to them, it was just about how i love them and my testimony. Basically one of the Assistants was on an exchange there in Barrie and they visited the Pedro's and they were able to give me a call. And I talked to the wife Ana, and she just thanked me for everything and just told me about how their process has been and that my note really effected them. She also told me that they were going to be baptized on the 22 November!!! I was tearing up, it was something really special for me. Because I have the strongest testimony on families and how they can be eternal through the gospel.

We have been teaching a wonderful family here in Toronto! I truly do know that the Lord is hastening His work solely on how many people we are finding and how many families we are teaching. I really know that there is much to do here and that as MEMBERS its our responsibility to make it happen! I really love it so much. But the thing that has been the best about this family is that there are 2 kids, a 9 year old and 3. To open the lesson with prayers, we all kneel down and i whisper to the little 3 year old what to say. HE ALWAYS wants to pray and ALWAYS makes me whisper it to him! haha its SO cute! The little 9 year old girl has a children's Book of Mormon, and knows the story better than I do, I'm not kidding! It has been such a great feeling to help families receive the blessings of the gospel! I know that its only because its the Lords work that its working so well in His way too.

 I really have come to know that the Lord lives and truly does love us. I know that this is His work and that the prophet and apostles are called of Him. I love reading the ensign from General Conference and thinking about how I can personally apply their teachings into my own life. Apply the teachings and find the joy. I know that we all need to do the Lords work and help those around us and suggest that we all there in UTAH still do the Lords work. Its not just a thing that we do when "we feel like it" this is an expectation He has set for us. Make that your number one priority.

 

I love you. Forever and Always,

Tuesday, November 13, 2013 "Time goes fast!"

HEY THERE!!

 

I really cant believe that Derek goes home this week. Man time goes by so fast! Its really so crazy to me!

Things have been going really well for me right now. Currently we are working hard, and are really working to making our area a great one! We have a few investigators that are working towards baptism right now and it should be a really good next couple of weeks! We have a guy named David, who is working towards the 24th of Nov, and is doing soooo good! We asked him the other day. "Well David... Whats the next step man? What do we need to do, to help you?" and he just responded.. "I have to get baptized, that's it." it was a powerful lesson for us. He is doing so well! He is a funny guy, hes about 24 and just really fun to teach! I think he is going to be baptized then! Keep him in your prayers! We also have this little kid named Mike, he is really close, i think that we are going to help him pretty soon! Hes working for the 24th right now too, but we'll see how that goes! He is awesome too, hes the 9 year old!

 

So this last week was a really fun one for us! We have a new way of finding Spanish people hahaha! You are really going to die when you hear this. So right now, we figured out that a certain kind of satellite shows where Spanish people live. You probably don't believe it, but I'm going to send a picture of what they look like haha. If they have 3 prongs that means they are Spanish. We have knocked probably 7 or 8 doors now and its been 100% right now! How crazy is that?? We found a new investigator from it the other day haha! Its so cool! It makes it so much easier for us!

I love the gospel! We have been teaching this little girl, she is 7, and her parents want us to give her the lessons before she is 8. We have been teaching her and its been so much fun. Its SO hard to teach little kids doctrine.. I see why parents are so patient and really can help them grow so much haha its TOUGH! But its so fun! its helped my understanding of the gospel increase so much, i really love it!

 

Living with 4 elders is CRAZY fun! haha its full of laughter and just straight energy for the work! I love it so much! haha its been really clean too, I've been designated as the "Patriarch of the House" because I'm the oldest haha and I get to decide who prays and stuff ;) its funny! But its been such a blast!

 

 

I know the Church is true and that we are so blessed to be in it. Don't forget that! Being a missionary has changed my life, and I'm so grateful for the Lord and all He has done for me! Its so worth it!

 

Forever and Always,
