Holt, Caleb

 hope you all are well. I wish I could reach out to you personally and spend time with you. However I hope this email is sufficient. I'd love to hear from you, even though it may take me a while to respond.  This week has been amazing for me and my companion. We taught the Crigger family who is one of our most progressing visits. They talked about their wedding with us and shared with their family that they have decided to get married. What a wonderful thing! They are doing this so they can make Covenants with God. We are so grateful for their examples and repentance. Another experience we had was with Ryan. He is another progressing friend who got to go to the temple with us for the first time. And he loved it. After his baptism he has plans to go to the temple with our stake president!  I hope that when I share these stories with you that you can have a good experience remembering that all good things come from God. I am grateful to work as an instrument for God. I know...

Hello everyone! It is Tuesday which is odd because usually I email on Monday. But today is different because our Mission president and stake presidency took our zone out to Mt St.Helen's for pday today! It was a wonderful treat. We got to learn about the mountain, have food and fun. This past week has been amazing. Training a new missionary is always good! I am often reminded of my training while I help my new companion and it is keeping me a strong and good missionary. I don't remember what I shared last week or if I did share but I am still in Woodland. My new companion/new missionary is Elder Jaussi. I still serve as a District leader. I love the area and friends we teach. Our friend Ryan has a date for the 3rd of September. He is going to make it for sure! We taught all of the commandments and interview questions and he is ready to go. He really wants to be a missionary and keeps asking our bishop to kick us out to put him in, haha, he doesn't know how missionaries work...

  Hi everyone, it has been so wonderful here in Woodland. I hope you are experiencing the same thing where ever you may be.    This week was amazing for me and my companion. I want to share with you some stories and stuff, then close with maybe a testimony. I hope that you find answers to questions you have as you read this. And this applies to all of you. Anyways here are some good stories.    First, Carl. Carl is a guy we met because someone on Facebook knew he needed help with some stuff in his yard. When we went to help him he wouldn't stop asking about hearing our message and he was serious too! It was wonderful. He said that the service was of less importance and the message was what he wanted. So we shared and after our first lesson which was on Saturday the 30 of July, 2022 he decided he wanted to be baptized and that we would have it on the 13th of August! This guy is awesome. Our next lesson we talked about the commandments and he is following them all...
