16 days left

So my mom sent me an email today that says that I have 16 days left... It's going by fast, but we're certainly working hard and doing our best here.

We had someone just walk into church. Turns out he lives somewhere else and left half-way through before we could get his contact info, but it was cool how the members all wanted to say hi to him and get to know him. He might come back next week though.

Well, I'm out of time... again, so have a great week!

My Last Mission Email

Well, it definitely has been a great two years. I've learned a lot and become more of the person that God wants me to continue to become. My testimony has grown so much. I wouldn't trade my mission for anything. I thought about writing a longer email for my last, but alas there isn't time. That should be expected because of all my past emails. Though my time is short I would just say that I Believe in Christ. I know he is my Savior as well as yours. Turn to Him and everything will work out. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I know that Joseph Smith truly was a prophet of God. I know that as we come to Christ, He will show us our weaknesses. As we are humble, rely on Him, and have faith in Him, He will help us overcome our weaknesses. We are called to do things in this life that we cannot possible do, but that is alright because that is why He came. He is the one that does it. He is the one that gives us everything that we have. We just have to show that we will trust Him.Well, I'll see all of you later,

Love, Elder Bronson

9 Days!

Time goes by so fast. It just flies by.

We had a good week. We are working on finding new investigators. That should be fun this week.

I'm excited to work hard this week. We are going to see some awesome miracles. We also get to go to the temple on Tuesday. That will be tons of fun.

Have a great week everyone!

MIRACLES!

Dang, I don't even know where to start. It doesn't help that I don't have much time... again...

We have had a crazy week. It has been super busy.

So we had a meeting with some members about helping with a missionary themed youth conference. We found out that next Sunday there is going to be a fireside about missionary work for the whole stake. They are going to do a big initiative like they did last Christmas, but this time it will be for missionary work. On top of that, the 2 following Sundays we get to teach the youth how to do missionary work. It is going to be super legit. That was our huge miracle that we got.

Have an awesome week!

My Last Transfer

It is crazy how fast time goes. We had a super crazy week. Probably the craziest week I've had so far on the mission. So for transfers I am staying to finish out here in the Santa Rosa ward. Elder Christenson is getting transferred to simi valley. My new companion is going to be Elder Judkins. It should be good.

We had a cool lesson with one of our investigators. So we had talked to her earlier in the week and she told us that she had got an answer. She told us that she needed to stay in her church. We came into the lesson trying to figure out what was going to happen and she elaborated on her answer. Her answer was actually to continue learning and coming to church, but that she wasn't ready to be baptized yet. So that was a lot different then what we thought. She committed to read in the Book of Mormon every day.

Have a great week everyone,

Eyes of Faith and a Miracle

We had a great week! It was a really crazy week actually.

We had a zone conference. We went on a hike. Part of the hike we actually walked blindfolded. Elder Christenson only let a couple of branches hit me as told me where to go. We focused a lot on following the Spirit. It was cool.

On Tuesday, we had a lesson with a less-active member and we got there a little early. We parked a little ways up the street and decided to spiritually create his progress. We closed our eyes and pictured him standing outside the LA temple dressed in white. He had his son there in white as well and there was also his girlfriend there in white. We continued to picture this and when we opened our eyes, we saw his girlfriend pull up to his house and go inside. We ended up teaching her the Restoration. We are going to teach her the Plan of Salvation this week. That was a really cool miracle that we saw. Just goes to show, when you see things with an eye of faith, you will truly see what you saw.

It was a really good week.

Have a great day,

Love Elder Bronson

Elder Christofferson

We had an awesome mission conference and stake conference with Elder Christofferson. It was a really cool experience. He talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He also talked about how our lives our filled with good things, but we need to be careful to not let the good things crowd out the essential things. He was really down to earth and really kind to everyone. He wanted to shake all of our hands at the mission conference. He also asked to shake all of the kids hands at the end of the stake conference. Those meetings were a spiritual feast.

Have a great week everyone!
