"Sigh"racuse

Well, another week has gone by and nothing much has happened. The new transfer has started and I am now with my new companion Elder Nipko. He is an awesome dude and I look forward to working with him. Below are some pictures of the hike I went on, my temple trip, and other fun pictures. This has been a learning experience and I know that I am doing the Lord's work, I just want to be able to teach some more people. But all that will come in time and the Lord is preparing me for whoever it is I am meant to find. Hope you are all doing well and I look forward to talking to you all again next week!

Beginning of Transfer #4

Hey everyone!

It has been a rather fun week this week. Monday as I stated last week I went to the Adirondack National Park to hike up one of the many mountains in the area (and no, I don't know which one I went up... There are more then a hundred of these over sized hills here!) Something cool about this park is that you could fit the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and Yellowstone comfortably inside of it! It is the largest National Park in the USA.

The week went by slowly and nothing happened until Friday when I went to the Palmyra Temple with some recent converts and also went into the Sacred Grove! It was an amazing opportunity that I was able to be a part of. If you ever have the opportunity to come to Central New York, I would strongly encourage you all to go through the Sacred Grove, there is a spirit there like no other and I can say that it is my testimony that God and Jesus Christ came and spoke to Joseph Smith, answering his prayers and prepared him to become the Prophet of the Restored Gospel in this Dispensation. As a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I would like to give my witness that Jesus is the Christ, Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God written for us in these days and translated by the power of God through Joseph Smith. I love each and every one of you and I hope you all find success in all you do.
