Nov. 15, 2017

 Hey everyone! okay, what a trip. I am officially at the MTC with Elder Howlett as my first companion and he is from Anchorage Alaska! I don't know him well yet but he seems like a good guy. I'm not entirely sure it has hit me yet that I am at the MTC but i'm sure with time it will. I'm eager to serve and ready to sleep. There's been a lot of driving the last two days but I've had a blast with Brittany and Jordan yesterday. 

I want to thank everyone so much for supporting me and helping me in whatever ways you did. I've had doubts and cold feet but being here now, I know that this is where I need to be. I have to get going but I will definitely have a lot more, and likely longer, emails to come! With Pictures!

Love,
       Elder Sommerville

Hey everyone! Have I mentioned I miss you? oh, well just in case, I MISS YOU! How is everything at home going? Also, I am still sick but also still having a blast. Been able to do a lot of progress and meet with a lot of people. Sadly one of our investigators is doing everything but coming to church so we may have to move her baptismal date back. I'm super tired and busy but love every minute of it. We have grown very close with this ward and this town. Yesterday we had a kinda movie night with the ward missionaries, less-active members and bishop tanner. We watched meet the mormons and it was great! Good food and great people, all thanks to Sister Riley opening her house to people. I don't know much else to say, Just keep us in your hearts and prayers so we can help serve those in this area. If you all want to send some letters as well, I'll allow it haha.          With love, Elder Sommerville oh yeah.... I almost forgot! We saw and went into an investigators bunker i

First Week in the Field!

Okay, so I don't have much time. I'll better plan my emailing hour next week and do this first but here goes. I'm in Gallup, New Mexico for my first area with Elder Johnson. Sadly we did not get any pictures yet. I love my companion, area, and ward. Everyone is so nice and caring and our dinner schedule is already practically full! Me and Elder Johnson, in an effort to save money and lose weight are dieting together, which is hard with all the dinners but we'll figure it out. It hasn't snowed yet which bugs me a bit but I suppose is alright. I'll allow it for now. anyways, I was sick last week, got over it on the way to new mexico, and first night got super sick again so I'm trying to fight off a cough now but thats okay because i'm mostly past the sickness. Been working hard, not hardly working. Met a lot of people and love each one of them. have been teaching one lady named Valerie and her kids and just broke through to her boyfriend when the next m

20:..... SOOOOOOO.... Interesting News

So Quick story,  Monday  morning I'm at a member's home and President Adams calls me, asks if we can meet at  1:00  or  noon . I say  1:00  because I am planning on emailing at  noon . So I did, I emailed you all about the ER and stuff. After I go to meet with President Adams and he Hands me my Itinerary and says I'm going home because I need to take care of my health and they just can't help me enough in the field. So, I'm home now! I'm also very conflicted, I am happy to be home and see friends and family. However, I'm sad because I miss the mission and every one in it. Yet, I know that my Heavenly Father has a plan for me and there is a reason other than just sickness for me to be here and learn something or help someone. Or Both. I know President and Sister Adams did everything they could to help me and they truly loved me enough and cared for me enough to do what Heavenly Father has told them I need. I love and appreciate them and everyone in my mission
