About Me

Hello! My name is Josh and I am going to see if I can use this old blog of mine as a type of journal. I have a lot going on in my life and think I should document some of it. That way I can save these experiences for myself and my children.

Love the work and The Lord

Me and my companion just got a call saying that we were the doing better than any of the other companionship in our zone and we just started our area out! Petal hasn't had much missionary success for a long time but me and Eldredge are not only succeeding but doing better then everyone else in our zone! We are grateful for this and know that we are very blessed with this success. We have 2 investigators with a baptismal date in mid-april and are looking for a third later this next week. We already have 2 or 3 very good potential investigators too. Oh and we don't count proselyting hours anymore just so you old timers now :) Jared and Tim are the two that will be baptized and they are for sure i think.

Transfers are this Tuesday and me and eldredge are staying in Petal for the next month and a half unless something crazy happens. I know that our ward is relieved to have us, they tell us all the time that we broke the dry spell of lame missionaries. Haha The ward loves us and wants us to stay because we are not weird missionaries and we are actually working! I gave a talk yesterday on repentance and Eldredge did his on the Atonement I feel they went very well. Everyone came and told us we did amazing but that could be just because we are missionaries but its nice to hear anyways. To be honest the success we are having is really got nothing to do with us or our efforts because we could be working harder but everything seems to be falling into place. I must say we have been very blessed!

The weather is getting hotter its been 80 and higher all week but not humid at all so far, so its not too bad.....yet..... I am not looking forward to this summer i am trying to get mentally prepared but i don't think i can prepare myself. So far everything has been going great and we are having success here in Mississippi.

I would like to tell ya'll about the power of prayer. It seems like everything i have prayed for i have gotten an answer to. Me and Eldredge prayed together to find a family to teach and literally 2 days later a recent convert moved out here from California to live with her daughter and her family. She called us and we are now teaching that family!!

Thank ya'll for your prayers! I would love to hear from ya'll you an send me letters or packages whenever you would like :)
