11 June 2019: Country Roads ... Take Me Home ... Sunrise Manor!

Hello all,

Its been a crazy week. A lot of blessings have happened this week. However, transfers have come. And very unexpectedly, I am leaving beloved Sandhill, and the Paradise/East Zone. It was a short ride, but a very very good one. Since I have been here, since the end of March, I have taught and seen 6 people make a covenant with their Father in Heaven through baptism. Each one of them, and many more people in this area have greatly impacted me, and also the missionaries I have served with while being the Paradise/East zone leader. 

I am actually going back to my home zone, Sunrise Manor! I will be the zone leader there, and will be serving in the Northwestern most part of our mission, in an area called Laurel Canyon/Mountain Shadows. My new companion is going to be Elder Dominguez, and I am excited to work with him. Two of the district leaders (missionaries over a smaller group of missionaries) are my former companions! Elder Troya and Elder Dougal! I am so stoked to work with them again!

I really don't have any time today, but I just want to share a little thing about meekness. The other day I studied about being meek and lowly of heart. I underratand meekness as power under restraint. When we are meek, we realize how we can do better, and realize that we have the ability to do great things, but we realize that the only way we can do them is through Christ and His Atonement for us. It has been a wonderful time here in Sandhill, and I look forward to my time in the Sunrise Manor Zone serving as a zone leader. 


Have a great week!
Elder Lovell

Elder Olsen is finishing his mission next transfer, but he is staying in his area, so it was the last time I would see him. He was the Assistant to the President for the majority of my mission thus far.

25 Feb 2020: "Call me maybe"

Image
Hello everyone! This week has been a week full of miracles! It was a busy one, due to transfer duties being taken care of. It's fun being in a trio, especially with a former companion of mine.  We had a pretty amazing experience on Sunday. We had just gotten home from church, and we got a call from someone, who asked if we would please come and teach her son. She had received a card from missionaries with our phone number on it about a year and a half ago, and her son was really struggling, and so her and her husband decided to call us to have us come teach their family. That never ever happens to us, and so of course we would! We went to their house, which was in a part of our area in which we didn't really go much because of the lack of Spanish speaking people there, but they lived there! We had the most powerful conversation with the family. This wonderful Sister and her husband were crying as we taught their son that yes there is a God, and that he was a son of God...

18 Dec 2018: ¿¡Voy a ser un líder de distrito?!

Image
Hola mi gente! Well, another transfer has come and gone and I will be.... Leaving Washington Avenue! Yesterday afternoon I also learned from a certain phone call from President that I will be the district leader in a new district! Who woulda thunk it! My new area is going to be two wards called Freedom Park and Christy Lane, and my new companion, who came out with Elder Troya, is from Honduras! His name is Elder Carpio, and he is fantastic! I'm so excited, and a bit nervous, but that's neither here nor there. If I learned anything from the past two transfers, it is that the Lord qualifies who he calls . That has been made very clear to me the past few months. He qualifies whom He calls. He has qualified me to be a trainer, and I know that if I am worthy of it, He will qualify me to be a district leader.  Oh yeah, Elder Troya is going to good ole Blythe, CA to be companions with our old zone leader, Elder Lawson. He is pretty darn excited. I re...

22 August 2018: Arrived in NV

Image
Hola mi familia! I just wanted to let you know that I arrived in Las Vegas safely! It was quite a beautiful drive, until we got into the city and I couldn't look out the window without looking back in the car again if you know what I mean... P days are on Tuesdays here, except for next week which it will be on Thursday.  I love you all!  Here is a picture of Elder Cluff and I before we would be separated forever... Traveling to NV today! Vegas here we come! No airport or plane needed ... this was our means of travel to get to NV  Note: The bottom three photos were sent to us from a random helper who took these photos and sent them to the missionaries' families on the day they traveled. It was great to get the update since we weren't able to communicate with Clark that day (aside from the note above that he sent us).
