Howdy!

So it turns out I will in fact be leaving the columbine ward. I will be headed to the Paonia ward over in montrose so I am headed out west again! But I am so happy I got to serve here in the columbine ward! I have loved it so much and was glad I got to serve here. I have loved being able to serve and touch the lives of those people in this ward. And am so thankful for the oppurtunity I have had to grow. I love this area. 

I love all of you! Also as a side note I have been out 6 months! already 1/4th of the way done! and I am no longer a greenie! or in other words newbie. So lets hope for another amazing 18 months!

Sincerely

Elder Lindh

So as a heads up transfers are in a week and so I will have definitive news next week. But from what president has told me it is rather likely I will be moving on. In his words "it might be wise to begin packing sooner than later". So I am expecting that I will be moving on. 

This week has been rather dull. We met with Suzy Harrison who is an amazing less active who is coming back to church after 40 years. I love teaching her because you can always feel the spirit so strongly and you can really feel her desire to learn and to grow. I love being able to teach her and help her learn. 

But sadly that is about all we have done this week. Hopefully there will be more to report next week. 

I love all of you so much. You are all amazing! 

I am so glad I have to support of the greatest family and friends a guy could ever hope for. I love you all!

Sincerely

Elder Lindh!

Howdy!

So this week was so much fun! We got to meet with two amazing less actives and our most progressing investigator. It is so amazing to watch them progress towards the gospel and the happiness it brings. I love feeling the spirit touch their hearts. 

We also got to see a hawk that was super close and just chilled as we got like 3 feet away. It was so cool! Other than that the only exciting news is we went on exchanges which was a lot of fun. I love the people in my district. 

I just guess I will end with my testimony that I know this church is true. There is no way I would spend 2 years so far from my family while paying to be here, if it weren't. I love the gospel. It has made my life so much better and I could not imagine my life without it. I love it so much. I love being able to serve the Lord with all my heart might and mind. I love this opportunity. I love you all so much.

Love

Howdy y'all!

So this week has been a lot of fun and has included some interesting new developments. We had a zone conference where we met with a lot of the mission leadership including President and one of his counselors and a lot of the couple missionaries from the office. We had a lot of wonderful training that I cannot wait to apply in my area. I love being a missionary and cannot wait to develop these new talents and skills that will help me be an effective messenger of the Lord. I love this work. 

Some of the best trainings were about how its sometimes the little things that make a huge difference. It takes a lot of courage and dedication to work hard and try to talk to complete strangers. But I know that it is worth it as we spread the glorious news of the gospel. I love this work. I love my mission. Its the best thing I have ever done. 

Love

Elder Lindh

An extra "treat" for those following the blog

Sometimes Nathan is able to find time to write hand-written letters home. Most of the time these are addressed to me and Jason and the rest of the kids. Nathan wrote this one two days after Christmas and as I read it I felt I should include it here in the blog. I just wanted you to have an opportunity to see the same awesome things about this guy that we do. I did post this with his permission.

Week 23, January 2, 2017

So this is a new year..... And I cannot wait! Its going to be an amazing year! I cannot wait to devote this time to the Lord! I love being a missionary!

This week I cannot report all that much. I must say the one downside of the holidays is that it seems everyone is either out of town or has WAY too much family coming in so we have not met with practically any of our investigators. I am sad about this but am very happy to say that now we will be able to meet with our investigators again! And just because we weren't meeting people doesn't mean we weren't working hard. Its just that no one answers their doors or phones...... which really makes our job a lot harder. But I refuse to be discouraged! We will work hard and strive to bring the gospel to as many people as possible. The Gospel is the greatest source of joy in my life. I want others to experience that same joy. I love this gospel.

I think that is about it but I would like to also add that I love all of you. You are all amazing. I know I usually don't act like I care all that much but honestly you all mean the world to me and I love you. Thank you so much for being my friends. 

I love you! 

Love,

Elder Lindh
