Another Buck Wild Week!!!
Transfer meetings this week.
President Brinkerhoff decided I should go to IF (Idaho Falls) again and be a
zone leader over a reorganized zone. So within 4 days of knowing, I was sent to
IF!!! I’ll have spent 21 months of my mission in this great city!!!! HAHA this
is crazy. I’m currently in the IF Family History Center emailing. The same
place I sent my first email from!! haha Lots of great memories here!
I’m now Zone Leader over the IF
North Zone and expecting some great times!! My companions are Elder Coggins
from North Carolina and good old Elder Solomon. My companion I never had! He
and I have been working with each other in the oddest ways! Elder Solomon has
helped me through my mission and taught me how to be a missionary. I’m very
grateful for him! Elder Coggins has been out for 16 months and is a very hard
worker. I’m excited to continue working with him.
It’s getting really cold here. It’s
snowing outside right now. Winter is here and Christmas is on its way! This
week starts the "He is the Gift" initiative. The Church has made a
new video helping us remember the real meaning of Christmas. PLEASE WATCH!!!!

Caitlin is still getting
baptized on the 6th! I’m so excited for her!
We had an interesting run-in
this week.
We went to sacrament
meeting in one of our wards and before we walked into the chapel a member
walked up to us and said he had a guy with him that really needed spiritual
strength. He said He recently was released from the hospital after trying to
commit suicide for the 3rd time. His name is Kevin and he turns 22 today. He
had a pentagram on his wrist under his palm, a 666 on his thumb and the word
"suicide" written on his arm. He sat through Sacrament meeting and
came with us to Sunday School.
In Sunday School
we talked about the light of Christ. Under his breath he said "What if you
have no light." After class we talked and he broke down crying. He talked
about the years spent as a Satanist and all the horror he has witnessed. He had
it all, by the world’s standards. Money, cars, friends, women, drugs. Then it
was all taken away from him. He hit rock bottom and didn't know how to get up.
We prayed with him and taught him about the Grace of God and of his love for
him. We talked about his Son, Jesus Christ, and what has been done for him.
Kevin is scared. Scared that satan is going to do something now that he wants
to change. Please pray for Kevin!!!
Christ is our Savior, Redeemer,
and Friend. We can overcome anything with His help. Even come from the darkness
into the Light.
