State College, PA - Week 24

Transfer news! I found out where I'll be the last 6 weeks of my mission, right here on Penn State! Pretty crazy since they usually file missionaries out of here pretty quickly and I'll have been here for 7 and a half months when I leave. Excited to be here... Continue reading

Hello there! We had a nice week despite having to drop a couple people. T sadly was more interested in arguing than learning, so we'll have to leave him where he is. One cool miracle, though, a friend we invited to FHE last Monday was able to come, and even... Continue reading

State College, PA - Week 17

Hello there! Wooo, it's been a busy and super fun week! So this past Wednesday, the Instagram app vanished from our phones all over the mission.

State College, PA - Week 11

Hello there! Have you ever had a moment when you're talking with a friend who isn't a member, and they say something that is surprisingly 100% doctrine, or they say they're pondering a difficult question that with restored doctrine is incredibly easy to answer? Then you have to just hold... Continue reading

State College, PA - Week 6

Hello there! Wow, it's already been 18 months in the field! Time is super weird in the mission because we live and breathe in 6 week increments called transfers. So when I think about 6 months, it feels like a ton of time. When I think about 4 transfers left,... Continue reading
