I guess I will share about yesterday! We went up to church in Sun Valley and
the Stake President found out it was my last Sunday so he put me on the agenda
to share a brief testimony. Wellll there was almost 500 people that showed up
and Elder Hamula of the Seventy came! Talk about nervous! It was good though
and after the meeting a lot of people came to talk to me, I kinda felt famous
haha. Met some great people! </span></div>

are so many great people I have met in this area that I am going to miss a lot!
One of them is the Torelli family! They are so close to my heart. I love going
over there and yesterday I shared with them a very tender experience from my
mission and I shared it in almost all Spanish and I thought it would be not as
good because my Spanish is not advanced, but the Spirit was still there were tears
in the room. I love the Spirit so much. It does not matter the greatness of the
language, because the language of the Spirit speaks to all and will testify of
all truth. </span></div>

is everything to me and I am excited for the future, but I know that these 2
years will always be the closest to my heart because of the good that it has
brought my life and the opportunities I have had. I cannot describe enough how
amazing it is to be a servant of the Lord and make a difference in someone
else's life. No other feeling like it. </span></div>

pretty good English. I just LOVE Spanish people. They are so fun and welcoming.
Also there is just a great Spirit with them. We talked to the mom, Mayra, about
going to the temple! She wants to prepare for that, and we also talked to her
boys about serving missions (they are 18 and 17). They are going to look into
it and I really hope they decide to serve. The 18 year old seems pretty serious
about looking into it.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Where
to even start? So many amazing things happened this week and words cannot fully
express the magnitude of it all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One
of the most amazing miracles this week was when we knock on the door of this
lady, Amy. She answers the door and only manages to say in a shaking voice
"They knew to come, the missionaries are here" into the phone up to
her ear. Amy was on the verge of taking her life and was telling that to
someone on the phone the very minute that we showed up. The Spirit filled the
room with peace and Amy felt it as she said "I know now that God loves
me". I will not forget that experience very easily! Being led by the
Spirit to go see someone to save their life brings a feeling like no
other. God really does love us and is so very aware of us. I know that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">4th
of July was great and very busy last week! We met this lady at the parade,
Courtney is her name, and she is from Hollywood, California! We gave her a
church tour on Saturday and we taught her about faith and repentance and the sacrament
and the Atonement of Christ. The Spirit was very strong and you could feel it
so clearly. Especially at the moment that she accepted to be baptized. It was
very neat, and she is very prepared for the gospel. She loves the idea of
taking the sacrament each week to receive a remission of sins. She goes back to
California in a couple weeks and the baptism will most likely happen there! Btw
she is an actress in Hollywood ;)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many
many experiences I could share from just the past 7 days. That would take
forever though! One last thing to share is that on Friday I was on Exchanges
with Elder Willis and we went up to Ketchum to walk around (only thing I can
compare Ketchum to is Market Street in the Woodlands, but better). Talked to a
lot of cool people, and even some famous ones because of Allen and Company
(billionaire summer camp up here). Met this girl that had obviously been
drinking, but we sat down and had a nice conversation and discussed some
scriptures with her. Right smack in the middle of downtown! (good publicity for
us right?) Hopefully she has some recollection of things we talked about when
we meet with her again!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
don't even know where to start! So many things happened this week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
had a great lesson with this investigator named Charlie (20) and he fasted and
came to church this Sunday! It was his first step of actual progress and it was
neat to see. The ward fellow-shipped him well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
got to use a lot of my Spanish this week! We taught a lesson to the Ruiz family
on the El Libro De Mormon in Spanish and read from 1 Nefi 1 ! I actually did a
little teaching and we had a member that spoke Spanish so he translated what I
couldn't say. I am getting pretty good at contacting people in Spanish and
getting a return appointment. Then we just bring someone to help translate
haha.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Miracle
of the week! : While out visiting on Thursday I was out with one of the young
men that is in high school and we contacted this family that was out on their
porch. Turned out to be one of the best contacts I have ever made. His name is
Ryan and hers is Regina. Ryan is way cool and we had a good discussion about
Jesus Christ. At the end he was like "Yeah you know I would like to learn
more." Then, the next day he texts us a super long message about how he
looked into our beliefs after we left and found a lot of the same things he
already believes. He said that he found differences in belief/lifestyle, but
those differences are things he has been wanting to change his whole life. He
told us he wants to come to church next Sunday as well! I cannot even explain
how much joy I felt as I read that message. Ryan is so prepared by the Lord to
accept the gospel! His family too! I am so excited to be able to teach them and
it was a blessing/miracle that we found them. This truly is the Lord's work and
He led us to them for a reason.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cool
note of the week: Went up to Sun Valley to greet people as they came to church,
and there was 517 people that came! Tons of people on vacation for the 4th of
July!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">P.S.
Also yesterday we ate lunch with a family in Carey and they had a lot of people
over. One of them was this guy that is Youtube famous for playing the violin!
His name is Rob L??? Can't remember his last name. He was super cool though and
we talked about violin since I used to play, he graduated from Rice University
in Houston in fact! Best part: He played for all of us! It was the most
legit violin playing I have ever heard. He played Radioactive, Hello,
Thunderstruck, Thriller, James Bond, Hallelujah, some others and finished with
How Great Thou Art. Also played Ghostbusters! and he releases that video this
Wednesday, so we got the sneak peak.</span></div>

call this place the land of happiness. And I know why: Beautiful mountains,
scenic drives, lots of trees, great lakes, and plenty more. The cost of living

Moving up here has just confirmed that I really was missing people! We went
tracting many times and it was a breath of fresh air to just knock on some
doors and proclaim the gospel! I love the gospel and the Savior greatly. I feel
myself draw nearer to Him each day, and I know He lifts me and helps me all the

are this week! I am staying in Carey, but we are picking up 3 more wards.
Hailey 1 & 2, and Sun Valley wards. We now cover the towns of Carey,
Bellevue, Hailey, Ketchum, and Sun Valley! My new companion is going to be
Elder Bunker.. again! I served with him over a year and half ago. It will be
great, Sun Valley especially is a big tourist spot. It will be neat to see what
goes on this summer up there!</span></div>

had sweet lesson with a family this week and their niece was in town! She blew
me away with how composed and mature she was for 14! She wants to be baptized,
but lives in Twin with her grandparents who are not members. She said she is
waiting to get baptized when she can actually fulfill the commitment and come
to church every week and stick with it. That was way shocking to hear how well
she understood that being baptized really is a commitment to follow the Savior
in all ways. She taught me a lesson of how there are great and chosen youth
that have things figured out, and that I can be a lot better at understanding
what I am really committed to.</span></div>

night we had a great lesson with Justin / Janelle and the Spirit was really
strong as we taught the Restoration. We left them with a commitment to read the
BofM and they accepted. We have developed a good relationship with them and
they are neat family. I just look at their family and know how much this gospel
will bless them if they accept and live it. Sometimes my heart breaks because I
want these people to be so happy in the gospel and they don't see it that way.
I hope that Justin can really help his family take the steps they need to.</span></div>

I went up to Salmon to be with Elder Edmonds and Reamer for an exchange. It was
cool to serve with Elder Edmonds for the day since we were companions almost a
year ago. Had a great time up there! It is a very beautiful spot in the

we helped this nonmember family set up for their out of school water party they
were throwing! It was fun to help and we stayed at the party for a little bit.
There were many kids there that we knew (pretty much all of them actually) and
when they found out that we were there they soaked us with water guns! Haha it
was great though. The family that we helped is so awesome. I really want them
to just accept the gospel and we are going to meet with them this week! </span></div>

Elder Driscoll of the Seventy (Area authority) came to Richfield with our
mission president and it was a great meeting. Heard them both speak three times
and learned some great things. Elder Driscoll was very down to earth and spoke
a lot about obedience to what the Lord asks of us! Had my last interview with
my mission president, President Curtis. It was great and I am going to miss him
a lot! He goes home at the end of the month. He is a great man that loves the
Lord and he definitely loves his missionaries. I have a close bond with him and
I feel and see his great love.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hey!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Transfer
week and Elder Wihongi and I are staying in Carey for at least 3 more weeks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It
was a solid week here! We are teaching someone new, Emilia, and she is very
receptive and open! She has accepted to read the Book of Mormon and then to be
baptized when she has received a witness that it is true. We were very excited
for this! The night before we had a hard time finding people home and just
working, but we stayed diligent and it was great to have this blessing come the
next day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
had many other great lessons, one of my favorites was teaching this lady that
has a great love and faith in God. She has so much goodness and light in her
and the Spirit was very present as we taught her! Another was teaching 4 young
adults that are on a "work-away" program with a member family we had
dinner with. 2 are from Spain, 1 from Switzerland and the other from Nevada.
The 3 foreigners have not had contact with the LDS church hardly ever! We are
going back on Thursday to teach them more. They said in their countries
religion is not a big importance. One of the questions that was asked was very
simple and basic question about God and I realized that there are many many
people who do not know much about God in this world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On
Thursday we did an interview for a guy that got baptized on Saturday. Probably
one of the most powerful ones I have experienced. He has a solid conversion,
and knows how to ask questions in prayer and receive revelation. When he came
to the interview he had long hair and long beard. On Saturday for his baptism
he was completely clean shaven! He really knew what it meant to put his old
life behind and take upon him this new life of following the Savior, and that
is how he represented it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
love this gospel so much! I know more than anything that this is the true and
living Church of Jesus Christ! He is our Savior and He is at the head of the
church. And more than anything, He loves us.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Had a solid Zone Conference on
Wednesday about "Follow Thou Me" and following the Savior and
creating a good mission culture especially with the mission changes.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thursday we spent all day in the car!
from 12:00 to 10:30 pm. Went right to sleep when we got home haha. Drove 400
miles! We had to install new smoke/co2 detectors in the missionary apartments
and had a baptism interview in Challis! The lady is super cool and way converted!
A little different but we need more differences in the church so it was great.
:) We drove through Stanley and that is like one of the prettiest places
ever. I have pictures as well!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also this week we helped butcher
chickens with a less-active family! It was a lot of fun. I thought it was going
to be nasty, but it wasn't too bad! They cut their heads off, then defeathered
them, then Elder Wihongi and I did the gutting! We each gutted about 15-20.
They did 65 total. We even got our own chicken to go cook up. Good times, but
sadly did not get any pictures.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We have some solid things going on in
Richfield and the members are really doing good missionary work to help us out.
Carey is doing great as well, good families to teach and we have another pretty
solid potential that we hope to meet with on Wednesday!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I love this work with all my heart! It
can be so stressful and wears you out a lot, but it is so rewarding. When you
realize it is not about you, but about everyone you meet, then it becomes special.
You stop worrying about how tired you may be, or whatever, and you focus on
making other people happy. I really have grown to love these people.</span></div>

teach. They had 5 stations with members telling about their mission
experiences, and then we had a station as well. It was fun to fellowship with
the youth and to teach them. We had a great time and I hope that we somehow
influenced them to want to serve a mission. As I shared one of my experiences
on my mission about the power of the Spirit, I truly felt that the Spirit of
God has so much power in our lives and others if we let it. I am really
learning to not trust in myself but to really trust in the Spirit. I have seen
great things come as I do that.</span></div>

first off it was a great week and yesterday we found a new family to teach!
This lady and her 5 kids, who are all pretty interested! We are excited and

the Big News: As of July 1st our mission will be splitting! Part of our mission
will go to the new Idaho Falls mission (Pocatello is splitting as well), and
part of our mission will go to the Boise Mission. This is to even out the areas
and numbers of missionaries in each mission. So because of that I will most
likely be in the Boise Mission, which would change my date to come home. It
could be as early as July 30th! We will find out more information in the future
though!</span></div>

love Carey! We are working with some great people. Haha on Sunday when I was
skyping y'all, you asked who I was teaching and I just drew a blank, but we are
teaching people. We are actually working with 3 different families that do not
come to church, but have 8 year old children they want to be baptized. So we
are helping them come back to the gospel as a family so that can happen.</span></div>

The Patterson family fed us a cool meal this week. It is called Rou-Ladin ?
(how it sounds, probably not the right spelling) It is a German food, where you
wrap thin beef over a pickle with mustard and then fried with flour! It was
great :)</span></div>

We drove a lot last week! Went up to Challis and I stayed with the Elders there
and Elder Wihongi went to Salmon with those Elders. Then yesterday we went up
to Hailey/Bellevue! It is so pretty up there and I think I want to live there
someday</span></div>

from the sister missionaries in Twin Falls that he is getting baptized on
Saturday! They told me a couple highlights from his conversion that included
attending a baptism and feeling the Spirit, and touring the temple grounds and
praying about baptism! It was so great to hear such powerful things happening.

there. They have a big log house and they use it as a non-profit retreat for
pastors and other people they know that need to get away for a little while. It
is in a very pretty spot in the mountains and they are the nicest people ever!

come back though! It will be a little different teaching someone without a
background belief in God. He threw out some good food for thought though by
saying religion causes wars and contention. He is right, but it is not God's
commandments that cause that. It is people disobeying God or twisting the

Austin leaves May 11th, but did his farewell yesterday because one of the

yesterday. As Kaden bore his testimony you could tell that he loved the Lord

the church and took him into the chapel. Had a very powerful spiritual
experience that I will not forget easily! We all felt the Savior's love there
and this young man offered a very powerful prayer before we left. He later told
us that moments before we pulled over off the road, he had been praying to God
for a sign of what to do with his life. I was so touched that God had sent us
to this young man's aid.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Janice
went to the family history center with us on Tuesday and we were there with her
for about an hour, and then she stayed a couple more to do more family history
work! She was very excited about it. Also she really enjoyed conference as well
and it is so cool to see her embrace every ounce of the gospel. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
are teaching this guy, Will, that is originally from Texas! He is awesome, but
been through the ringer. Just listening to him I felt God's truly infinite love
for him. It gave me hope for Will to progress and get his life on track to
where he can be successful and have joy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
ate dinner with this one family this week and the husband was late coming home
so we ate on the porch with the kids until he got home. He got home when we had
about 10 minutes until we had to leave so we came inside briefly. He is not a
member, but his wife texted us the next day saying that he felt pretty bad
about that and wants us to come over again. He is a great guy and we are hoping
he opens up to let us teach him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our
monthly focus for April is the Book of Mormon and it has been great so far. There
is so much power in that book. It was written for this day and age, so it
pertains especially to us. It is a divine witness of the Savior Jesus Christ
and it contains His gospel in fulness. It teaches so plainly and the power of
the Spirit is so evident as you read it! As we have shared more of the Book of
Mormon this past week, I have definitely seen the influence it has!</span></div>

was an awesome Easter week for us.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
had a great experience Friday night. We went to the temple with Janice and a
couple from the ward. We did a grounds tour and then did a mini-lesson in the
waiting room. It was awesome. The Spirit was there for sure and Janice was
loving it. Her 4 year old, Olivia, was actually very reverent and whispered the
whole time!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Julian
is doing great, still wanting to take things slow. We brought over one of the
ward missionaries, Trenton. He has long hair like Julian, so Julian related
with him and enjoyed that haha. Funny that one small similarity can bring
people together! He tells everyone he knows that he is meeting with us, such a
solid missionary and his brother said he would sit in on a lesson one of these
times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
did a lot of teaching and contacting this week, and were able to testify of the
Savior many times. Especially this week of Easter it seemed to open up people a
little bit more to our message about Jesus Christ!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There
were many instances this week where we felt prompted to do something and it
turned out great! Many unforeseen opportunities to serve and share this gospel
with others. The Lord truly is directing His work and He has GREAT love for all
of us. </span></div>

her progress even more in the gospel now :) I realize how baptism truly is just
a gate, that allows us so many more opportunities on our path to return to our
Father in Heaven. SO many promised blessings that Heavenly Father has in store

started the #Hallelujah initiative this week! Everyone go check out <a href="http://followhim.mormon.org/" target="_blank">FollowHim.mormon.org</a> and watch the video! It is
so powerful and only about 2 minutes long. It helped me to realize that nobody
is too far from changing, and that at any moment we can decide to follow the
Savior and bring that eternal joy and happiness into our lives! I know it is
true and I love being out here helping others come to know that same truth.</span></div>

is still doing great, she is set to be baptized on March 19th! :) It is going
to be great. Also on March 20th, the Area Authority Elder Allen is coming to
speak in the 10th ward! That will be a cool combo with her confirmation on that
day! </span></div>

experience: Wednesday, March 2nd, 8:21 pm. We pray where we should go. We feel
prompted to see this one guy, but I knew he wouldn't be home and we had every
excuse why not to go. We decided to go anyways, turns out he was not home like
we had thought. However we see someone sitting outside near his house. We walk
near this lady and try to talk to her but she waves us on. We circled the
block, but we both felt like we need to talk to her. As we turn the corner to
go back to that street, she is walking our direction. And that is when we met
Emily! She is awesome. We walked and talked for a good hour with her. Shared a
whole lesson, gave her a Book of Mormon and everything. She had a rough life of
bad decisions and she told us how she needed us that night. She knew God had
sent us to her. It was so powerful.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Elder
Payne and I were so humbled from that experience. I look back at my initial
doubt of the prompting we received. Little did we know at the time, we were
just being led to someone else. Sometimes the Lord prompts us in ways that we
may think don't make sense! But I realized that the only way we would of been
led to that lady is if he prompted us to see the other person, fully knowing
they weren't home!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
are starting to take birthday cards to all the members on their birthday! It
has already been really awesome and they love it! We even were able to give
someone a blessing and be of service because of that. It also feels really good
to just do something really nice :)</span></div>

sacrament she started telling us about some of her friends that came to mind
during church, she is going to talk to them about the gospel this week. She is

conversion is such a sweet experience to witness. God really loves her and she
has felt that from the Spirit for sure. She bore her testimony and witness to
us in two lessons this week, and her countenance continues to brighten :) She
came from a very rough life in darkness, and now she is full of the Spirit of
light. </span></div>

God's love and His Spirit! Mainly through seeing Janice and her experiences and
the changes she has made. God really does want all of His children to succeed
and we all have such bright futures ahead of us! I have felt more of God's love
in my own life now in knowing He truly has a perfect plan. Life is tough
though, bad things happen, and we all face adversity. It is through the gospel
that we maintain peace through those moments and that we can with a 'surety
hope for a better world' (Ether 12:4) </span></div>

choose the light we will always be on the path to true joy and happiness! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We
had met her at Salvation Army, doing service a couple weeks ago. She called us
Monday and wanted to meet with us. We taught her 3 times last week, and by
Sunday at church her countenance had changed so much. When we met her we saw
despair and sorrow, but now she is full of hope and light. The Spirit changes
people in a very powerful way. I have developed such a love for her and her
little 4 year old girl, Olivia, who is so funny and outgoing! Janice is set to
be baptized on the 20th, however she might be moving before then to another
missionaries area.</span></div>

guy Rene, called the Mission and wanted to be baptized. When meeting with him
we find out that he has been investigating 5+ years and is finally ready. He is
set for the 20th as well. He got up yesterday and bore his testimony! It was
great.</span></div>

and Corie have investigated in the past, but while we were there we just got to
know them and their lives. By the end they had tons of questions that they
wanted answered, and they said they are ready to be 100% honest with the
missionaries. We went back and taught them and answered a majority of them, and
they loved it. The Spirit was very evident in this! It had softened their
hearts and allowed them to be open, and we were able to have the words to say
and the questions to ask them.</span></div>
