Hola family and friends!!!!!!!!!!!! 

What a wonderful time it was this Thanksgiving.  Now it's onto Christmas!!!!!!! Ahhhhhh✋🏻😃🖐🏻 I will tell you all about this wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and the wonderful adventures that I had!!!   Could you send me some more pictures?  I need to see all your beautiful, shining, happy faces! Sometimes pictures can describe things better than words so please just send me pictures of what you're doing throughout the week.  This goes for anyone that gets my emails.  If you don't want to email me (and trust me I totally get it) send a picture! I absolutely LOVE pictures.   

So this week was great and a ton of fun! I learned a lot of lessons this week as well! So Tuesday we got to do my favorite thing!!!!! Service!!!!!!  Also my favorite kind of service- we got to cut some wood!!!  I was a little disappointed when I got there because the wood was really bad looking wood (not nice even wood you want to cut but it was all uneven and misshaped.  In my first area we cut wood all the time and those were the prettiest looking pieces of wood I have ever cut.  Sadly these weren't too appealing and were difficult to cut nicely but I still enjoy doing the work and being there.  The ax someone brought wasn't very sturdy and the ax head kept coming loose from the handle so that was a red flag!  There wasn't much wood to cut but it was good to get the feel again.  My companion cut wood for his first time on his mission and looked very natural.  He must have had some prior experience.  The member we were doing service for was impressed with our skills. The lady needed the wood for heat so we were glad to lend a helping hand!  Service is always good!  

We then got to see Sister N who has been coming to church pretty regularly.  She actually will be reactivated this next month if she comes twice so fingers crossed!!!! We are so pumped because she's been striving to go to he temple and has gone through the temple preparation class.  She just needs to get to church this next month and I think she will be good to go! So exciting!  I hope I'll still be here for that!!  Transfer boards come out this week so I hope I am staying here during Christmas.  I would be soooo sad if I left before because it would be so hard to say goodbye and leave right before Christmas.  I asked President to keep me here. hahaha  WE also were able to see Sister N's son, E.  He is a fun kid and he loves having us over.  He's 4 years old and is the cutest kid!  That kid is a girl magnet- all the girls love E.  He is very friendly to everyone and especially to his teachers at school.  Sister N and her sister are amazing mothers.  They try their best to raise their kids right and help them in every way they can. I've met some incredible women on my mission that truly sacrifice all they have for their children (whether they are single moms or not).  There really have been such selfless women out here that I have met.  I have deep respect for their hard work and love they give their families.  What a blessing these daughters of God are!  

We were also able to see George S.  He is an older gentleman we have been trying to see for a while now and we finally were able to see him!!!!!!!  We talked to him for a little awhile and were able to catch up.  We tried a few other people that day but to no avail- they weren't home.

Thanksgiving Eve we went to the Stake Center to attend a Thanksgiving event .  There were many different religions that participated.  Each shared a little about their church and what they were about. The theme for his year was "Home is where the heart is."   It was really neat.  My favorite part of the evening was when a black Baptist preacher got up and was like, "We need to have a little bit of church up in here!"  He began to get excited and gave a great sermon.  I really enjoyed his sermon!

As I think about the women I have met on my mission, I am humbled by how much I lack in selflessness and dedication.  They are independent and strong.  What wonderful examples they are to me.  I am grateful to have a wonderful mother like you, mom.  You have had to put up with me my whole life.  You sacrificed your desires and your wants and wishes and put mine before yours.  You truly are such a powerful, strong woman.  I've told you before but I will say it again, Mom, you remind me of Emma Smith.  You both are loving and caring wives and mothers.  You never gave up nor lost hope through trials but kept pressing forward in faith, always pushing through, clinging onto the arm of God as He helped you through them.  Though I don't understand all you did for us, I am grateful (and ever will be grateful) for the blessing you have been to me in my life and for the ways your talents have blessed me.  Mom, I remember how you always wanted me to improve in all areas of my life; to continue to work harder and be the best that I could.  You never gave up on me! I will never forget my Sophomore year of high school when I was doing poorly in school.  You didn't let my circumstance of a broken leg and surgery get the better of me.  You always wanted me to rise above my situation(s).  You told me that I could do it!  I remember when I made the choice to work at it by improving my study habits and doing better on my tests.  I began to improve (in spite of yet another break and surgery) my Junior year and by my Senior year, I was able to  see that I could be a good student and that I wasn't dumb.  You helped me to learn that I needed to work hard and do my best and as a result, I did great on my tests, had a great GPA and got a scholarship.  You helped me mom to look past my physical limitations and not have them define my situation but rise above and overcome my circumstances.  That is a blessing you gave me!  Thank you mom.

Dad, I can't forget you! You play just as much as a role as mom.  You both together make the greatest team but more importantly- together we make the greatest family!  Dad, what great advice and help you've given me throughout my life.  You know one thing I've noticed more and more since I've served my mission is that you are not judgmental.  You don't look at a person's weaknesses or look at the bad things a person has done and define that person by those things.  You want people to be the best they can be but you don't ask anyone to be different.  You accept them as they are.  You never compared us sons.  I didn't feel you viewed me any less
than Tyler or Kyle.  Even though I wasn't the most skilled athlete, or the biggest, the smartest or the fastest , you never viewed me as less than then.  You just wanted me to be the best Trevor that I could be.  That means so much to me because my whole life I have tried to become like them but I feel I fall short and I get discouraged.  I sometimes don't feel I will ever be as good as my older brothers.  I'll never forget the time

after I got injured my senior year and we were talking about my knee.  I didn't know if I could continue to play football.  You showed me the Rocky Balboa quote about success and you told me to do what I could and whatever decision I made, you would be okay with it.  You taught me, dad, that I could rise above my physical limitations, even when it seemed impossible.  You helped me to learn that I could do hard things. I learned that with God's help I could do hard things and miracles could happen because I practiced that week.  Then when game day came and I blew out my knee (and needed surgery once again) you never said anything about being disappointed in me or that you thought of me as a failure.  You kept telling me how proud you were of me.  In fact, I felt like I was a failure because I never completed a season of football or became the football player that everyone thought I would be.  I was embarrassed and ashamed.  But you never looked at me like that.  You see saw me for who am and not who I am not.  Thank you, Dad.

I guess since it was Thanksgiving and I pondered on my blessings, I wanted to let you both know how I thankful I am for the blessings of having a mom and dad like you.  

On Thanksgiving Day, I played in the Ward Turkey Bowl.  I put my hair in a mohawk and then wore my white
headband- it looked pretty cool.  I was going extreme!!!  The guys all thought it was funny.  This Turkey Bowl was fun but nothing is going to compare to the McKeesport  Turkey Bowl with all those really good black athletes!  It was great getting that touchdown and being known as Gronk!   Still, this was a game with a good turnout of ward members.  I did have a ton of fun and everyone was there just to have a good time so
that was good! I got a couple of touchdowns and some good runs.  We played two-hand touch which was good because last year in McKeesport we played tackle with the black guys and I was pretty worried I was going to get injured.  This year, I didn't have that fear which is good!  After the game we washed up and went to dinner.  We just visited members that day!  We went to the L's and ate.  We just chatted with them (as you know, I love to sit and talk and laugh). Later, we did the same thing at the A's. lol  Bro. A told some cool stories.  

This week we actually weren't able to meet with any of our regular people because they were all out of town. So we found things to do and met some new people and just tried staying busy by setting up appointments.  We will see how that carries into this upcomig week!  I love you guys.  Take care.  Bye!!!!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️

Companions having fun

Hello my most loving and amazing family EVER and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Oh my goodness what would I do without you guys??!!!  You're always here for me and keeping me in line. I absolutely love you guys!!!!!  It's been great doing missionary work here- I absolutely love it!!!!  Everyone we see may not always accept or do what we say but that's okay, we know the message we share is true and all we can do is invite, ask people to change and improve their lives for the better.  As they do that, they will see the blessings that Heavenly Father has in store for them.  I love every single person we see and work with.  They make me so happy- I truly care about them and their welfare. I'm grateful for all the experiences I've been given (good and bad) because they are shaping me into who I want to become.  I say that now but as soon as I go through something rough I sometimes forget that. hahaha

The Beautfiul Philadelphia Temple!

Sorry to hear about football Austi! That stinks bud.  Good for you for working out the day after the loss though.  You and Tyler really are a lot alike!!!  You definitely know how to work hard and do it right! Good for you!!  Such a stud.   I'm so grateful for a brother like you. No one and nothing tears us apart!!!!✊🏻 

I'm sooo jealous that you have Aunt Cami, Todd and Camille coming for Thanksgiving. I wish I could just teleport and be with you guys for the night and then return to PA!!!!!  

So you know how guys asked me what I wanted for Christmas?  I would love some ties!!!  Jerry Garcia ties, any skinny ties that have crazy cool patterns.  I would also love some pretty crazy socks.  I love socks that have multiple color schemes and have a cool pattern to it!  I like AND1 socks or stance socks but pretty much ties and socks with crazy designs!  I will also be fine with some protein for Christmas!!!  I just bought 2 new pairs of shoes that work great for winter & summer so I am good with shoes for now.  

We do have plans for Thanksgiving.  Two families wanted to feed us and we couldn't say no so we signed up for both- one for lunch the other for dinner! Hahaha So we have plenty of plans!!! We will be plenty full!  This week, let me tell you, it was an absolute miracle week!!!! We worked our butts off this week and just really tried to see a lot of people and we did!!!

Elders Cahoon and Richens (MTC Companions)

One day this week was sooo busy.  We had appointment after appointment- just biking like mad men!!!!  We got to see the twins (S, who we are shooting for the temple with, felt like she wasn't doing a good job at keeping the Sabbath Day holy.   She has a husband who watches TV and doesn't go to church so we told her that she can only control her actions not others.  We also told her that she would not be held accountable for others actions.  She felt better about that and came to church on Sunday!!!😊🤗🙌🏻 

We had exchanges after PDAY.  I was with Elder Argyle (he's been out for about 6 months).  It's super weird for me serving around Elders younger than me because I've mainly served around Elders older than me.  He's a little quiet but he is really funny.  I'm glad I got to go with him.  He is such a humble guy; I want to be humble like him.  The next day we went out and had bible study at a senior center we do service at.  I've learned a lot bible verses on my mission and sharing them is great.  I love the New Testament.  As we were reading in Romans 5, the thought came to me to share Doctrine and Covenants 121 (it talks about Joseph Smith in Liberty jail and the counsel that was given to him).  I was like "Whoa, bringing up scripture from the Book of Mormon may be iffy but Doctrine and Covenants?  These guys would not accept that."  I was pretty nervous but I gathered my courage to share it and you know what?  Most of the people there thought it was great advice and a great scripture.  They took it all very well.  I was absolutely amazed!!!! Act on promptings people!!  We had the opportunity to eat lunch with them, talk with them and get to know them better.  They shared some pretty funny stories. 

Missionaries after the All-Mission Conference

We biked down to Lemoyne to visit a family.  We knocked on the door but no one answered.  I had a prompting that we needed to talk to her neighbor whom was outside.  We talked to her, gave her a B.O.M. and asked her if she knew her neighbors.  She told us to try knocking on the back door because they can't hear in front.  So that's what we did.  The lady came to open the door immediately.  As we were talking she mentioned that she was actually upstairs right before we knocked on her door but she felt like she needed to come downstairs and when she did, that was when she heard us knocking on her back door!  A straight miracle!!!!!!! Super sweet!!! We got to talking to her about gaining a testimony and invited her to read Alma 32.

We met with another investigator that mentioned she was having trouble reading in her B.O.M. So we wrote all over her calendar "Read the B.O.M." Hahaha!!!! She thought it was hilarious.  We had a good discussion on reading the B.O.M. even with the busy schedules we have. She told us how she could keep 1 in the car and the other at home so she always had 1 with her wherever she went.  We thought that was a great idea and just cheered her on!!!!!  Most the time I catch myself just listening to people, to their situations and then helping them to recognize what they need to do.  After they make their decision I cheer them on to choose the right!  (That's in Preach My Gospel).  I was talking to Bishop and he says that's exactly what he does with people.   He's such a wise man and I've learned a lot from him.  I am grateful for him. I feel the most good we do as missionaries isn't always giving advice to people but just listening to them and guiding them to what they need to do.  The rest is up to them.  So everyone be that cheerleader! If someone's struggling, try to see where their coming from and cheer them on as they strive to do to things and keep commitments.  

The wonderful Bishop Jenkins and Sister Nelson-
Elder Cahoon served with both in Ambridge.
He ran into them when Elder
Stevenson spoke in Altoona!

We worked real hard this week and we are both super exhausted!  It's Monday and we are dead tired but we feel great for working hard!  The poster in the football locker room says it all, "the pain of hard work vs. the pain of regret." 

One last investigator story:  we met with Robert and he hadn't read out of the B.O.M. and he felt badly.  We asked him if he felt badly because he DIDN'T read out of it or because we would ask him about it.  He said he felt badly because he would tell us no he didn't read it when we came back to ask him.  I felt badly because if someone's going to read the B.O.M. I want them to read it because they want to not because their afraid of when we come back. We then shared what that the B.O.M. testifies of Jesus Christ and it helps us to come to know of Him and His truth and light.  

Ok this is the last story. lol  After Robert, we met with another investigator, Michael.  He is a kid but is already a good missionary!  He had two of his friends at the teaching appointment with him!  We even got to go on a bike ride with him because we had our next appointment in Lemoyne and he rode out with us.  On Sunday before church, Michael called us asking for a ride to church.  Bro. D, a ward member, went and picked him up!!!!!  This is the first investigator I've had come to church and be progressing since I've been here.  YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys.  Hope you have a great week.  Take care.  Bye!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Entire Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Mission!!

The High Life Is The Best Life!

Hello family and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Wow another week that just flew by!!! Can't believe it's PDAY.   Well I had a great week- a lot of miracles.   We were trying to get in and see one of our investigators on Tuesday and we had several members ready to go and an hour before he cancelled!!!  So we had an extra 2 hours and we went to try a few people. Well the first miracle that occurred:  we got back in contact with one of our investigators we had dropped- Don. We tried his trailer which looked inhabitable and knocked on his door twice. Then Sister H, a member, was at that trailer park dropping off one of her friends and to our surprise she knew the person we were trying to see. She told us he usually sleeps around this time and we just need to knock pretty loud. So what did.  We went back and Elder Butikofer basically broke down the door with his rampant knocking! Guess what happened!?!?!?! Don came to the door!!!!!  We were able to teach him a lesson and invited him again to read the B.O.M. so hopefully he will do that! He was going through a difficult time (he had just gotten out of jail)  So we shared with him the story of Nephi when he was on the boat with his brothers and they tied him up and for 3 days.  For those who don't know the story, Nephi was tied up by his brothers but instead of complaining or blaming others, he turned to God for strength and the Lord gave him the strength to break the bonds that held him.  We were able to apply that to Don by explaining to him that if he turns to God, God can help him not only get through the trial but after the trial as well.  It seems like when I teach others, while I am teaching them, I am learning things as well.  I love that!  I forgot to mention we had this teaching opportunity with Don outside in the rain hahaha!!!!  I was pretty wet cause I didn't have my rain jacket.  Luckily, Elder Butikofer had his.  I just enjoyed the rain.  It wasn't cold thank goodness! 

Then we saw a friend of ours, Nate, that night.  When we arrived at his house, he was heading out the door to go vote with his friend and his mom.  At first he wasn't going to go vote but we told him to go!  He went inside the house to grab his hoodie and his mom left without him.  Everyone else was just in shock but then my instincts kicked in and I took off in a sprint! The car is driving down the road and I'm running right behind it on the sidewalk yelling, trying to get their attention.  She takes a left and I kept on running and yelling.  Thank goodness there was a stop sign 'cause she stopped just long enough for me to reach her window.  I scared her to death!! She jumped in her seat and her face was absolutely terrified!!!!! I felt bad.   As I was going back to Nate's house, I thought about the time when I ran and snagged the iPad off of the roof of the truck.  Needless to say, I felt like a boss!!!! I still got it!  The good news is we were able to teach Nate after he voted.  We began teaching him about member missionary work as that seemed like the lesson he needed to hear but I could tell he wasn't engaged- just giving me the answers we wanted me to hear.   So then I changed topics and began to talk about his Book of Mormon reading. Then the coolest thing happened.  Elder Butikofer immediately started testifying of the Book of Mormon and Nate became engaged as well.  We talked about why it's so important that he reads from his scriptures and keeps his testimony strong.   So we will see if he read in the Book of Mormon.   

Another miracle happened when we got to see Robert.  He is a member that is always hard to catch.   We actually got to sit down and talk to him this week.  He's not too interested in talking with us and he usually tells us how he won't read or pray about the B.O.M. However, this time was different. Elder Butikofer invited him to read the BOM and he told us he would!  He has never committed to doing something before so hopefully he follows through.  

We also got to help out our good friend, Diana, (the one with all the Stark Trek stuff) unpack what we helped her pack because she was not going to move to Ohio any more.  We had pizza and the Sisters joined us so it was all a ton of fun!!!  We helped her move her couches and chairs around and I felt like I was back at Mayflower working for them.   

Hard to believe this week could get any better but it did!  We got to go to the Philadelphia Temple again!  Remember me taking our investigator Stephen to the Open House?  The Baptistery is my favorite part of the temple because he brought back many memories of Stephen because he felt the Spirit so strongly there. Stephen is such a close friend and I love him so dearly!!! He is one of my favorite people out here and I love his personality- always so nice to others.  But back to the trip this time. lol The road trip there was good (we were with the H's).  I absolutely love and adore that family.   It was great to be able to have a full day with them and laugh and share stories and joke together. I was grateful for the time that we spent with them.  While I was in the celestial room, I was trying to think about areas where I needed to improve.  I was reading in 1 Corinthians 13 and I got the impression that I need to put off the natural man if I wanted to change.   Living higher standards will help me focus on my main goals and my purpose in this life and the next life as well. That was some nice insight and revelation for me. :)  After the temple, we took pictures and toured Philadelphia for a little bit.  I can't remember everything we saw but we I did see the Liberty Bell and the museum we also saw the building that was in National Treasure.  

The day after the Temple trip, we had the opportunity to visit with Elder Stevenson, one the the 12 Apostles of the Church!!  We drove to Altoona because he actually spoke at the mission conference.  Because the whole mission got together, I was able to see my  MTC companion, Elder Richens, as well as a ton of other missionaries that I came out with!   President Johnson & Elder Stevenson were childhood friends- how crazy is that!?!?  Elder Stevenson kept referring to Pres. Johnson as "Brad" and to Sis. Johnson as "Rosie."  It was really cool.  He was laid back and I really liked that!  He made fun of President by saying how he never thought Brad would be able to catch a wonderful, beautiful woman like Rosie. hahaha  He talked about the attributes and qualities they both have and how us Elders need to marry a Rosie Miller and the Sisters need to marry a Brad Johnson. So mom don't worry, Rosie Johnson is basically you (just with black hair)!!!!😂😂😂  Dad, you and President are the exact same- even your hairline is the same!😉😏 hahaha!!!!  Then Elder Stevenson proceeded to train us missionaries. He talked a lot about teaching repentance and baptizing converts and how we are trying to help people make that next step forward in faith. He talked a lot about promised blessings.  God gives us commandments but he also attaches blessings to those commandments.  As missionaries, we need to do the same with our commitments.  Our wonderful and amazing Sister Johnson has been giving this training since I've gotten here on my mission so she's wayyyy ahead of the game.  It was a good reminder though.  I really like how we center the lesson on the commitment because it centers it on the individual and not a lesson.  I also received more impressions and insights on ways I can improve so that was wonderful.

I love you guys.  I hope you have a great week and are doing well.  Thanks for your thoughts and lessons you teach me.  My family is the best.  Love you guys.  Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Joyful Learning And Jumping For Joy!

Hello family and friends!

Wow another wedding coming up!! Jeez 2 people in our family already got married since I have been on my mission now a close friend.   I can't believe you guys hahaha!!!!! Take lots of pictures!!!!!!  I do hope Tyler plays next year.  That would be really neat being able to see my big bro out there doing what he does best!!!!! You as well Austin! You are a great football player and young man I'm so proud of your hard work and dedication.  Just keep it up buddy!!! You can do wonderful, amazing things! 

I'm trying to build a consistent habit of getting up and working out!!! I've been waking up at 6:15 and working out til 7:00 then I drink my protein and get ready for studies!!!  As long as we move in an upward direction rather than a downward direction, we are getting somewhere! So I'm moving toward perfection a little at a time.  I'm still using my spiritual journal.  It has done sooooo much good for me.  It's allowing me to put all my insights and my tasks into the same file which helps a ton! It has helped me become more efficient, plan better as well as remember better too!!!  I am thankful for the awesome Bishop H for sharing this with me.  He is clever and smart and always has a comeback waiting! I'm so grateful for him. I really want you to meet the H family.  They have helped me, inspired me and taught me.  In companionship inventory recently, Elder Butikofer told me I do well at handling things that aren't going my way.  Sure I get a little upset but he says I handle it well. So I feel good about that.  

 This week was great and was a ton of fun!!!  So this week we had our first PDAY with the new members of our district!  We went to the store and I got some protein and a blender bottle. Then Elder Butikofer told me that I should buy this sweet item.  I turned the corner and it was... the sickest Pokémon hat I've ever seen!! I could not pass that up and it was only 10.00!!!! However my most favorite purchase happened near the end. So my sheets I've had since the beginning of my mission have become tattered and torn.  I needed new sheets.   So I was trying to figure out what sheets- which would be the best purchase, the cheapest, etc.  Then to my surprise something caught my eye! They were Star Wars sheets! I could hardly keep myself composed.  I was fantasizing how my bed would look with the Star Wars sheets on it! Well I'm proud to announce that they look fantastic!!!!! 😆😅😆 They are great and I'm keeping these for a long time!

You know, being on my mission has done me a load of good!!!  I have learned to appreciate cleaning and having clean, appealing and organized rooms and materials! I now have a love for doing dishes and cleaning!!!  You know how much I enjoy listening to music while I clean!!  We had an apartment inspection this week so we straightened up our apartment and made it look and smell good!!!! 

This week we were able to eat lunch with a single sister in the ward.  She invited her neighbor and we all talked about our lives- and of course religion.  The neighbor wasn't interested in our religion but we had a good conversation where we shared our beliefs and experiences that helped each of us grow and strengthen our faith!  That evening we went to a recent convert's house (N).  We had planned to talk about how he could fellowship his friend and planned do a role play with N but when we got to his house, N's friend was there eating dinner so we talked about the importance of reading the BOM and feel the spirit.  Speaking of scriptures, I am in Romans and getting to the letters from Paul.  I'm going to love it! 

On Wednesday we got to have our district meeting.  The meeting wasabout our purpose as missionaries! I left wanting to do more which is always good! I was very excited to work that much harder!  Well after District meeting, we did service for a lady name Sister D.  We got to paint some doors for her and it was a lot of fun.  That night we had the B.O.M. Class.  We talked about Alma 40- the resurrection of the righteous and the wicked; how all will come forth!  I had a question answered that I've been thinking about since my first area so I'm grateful for that!!!  After class, it was time to return to the apartment.  We were done planning so I was just playing the piano when I felt like I should check in on an elder who got transferred to another area.  It was good that I checked on him as he needed to talk.  Always follow promptings! 

Then Thursday we had some pretty great miracles happen! Unfortunately one of our investigators cancelled with us so that was unfortunate. However, we got another new investigator!!!!!!! So exciting!!!!!!!! We went to another investigators house (S) and she told us that she is struggling with reading the BOM; that she doesn't understand it.  So we read it with her and afterwards she said she understood it better.  We are grateful she is learning!  

Can you find me?

So our PDAY today was awesome!  We went to a trampline park.  Let's just say my inner Baboon came out!  hahahaha
I'm loving being out here.  I love you guys.  Take care.  Bye!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
