HEY HEY!‏

Hey all! Things are going great. My new area is tough and it looks like there is just a little bit of "damage control" to do from the last Elders that were here. The entire district was "white washed" so it is pretty interesting figuring everything out. I enjoy it here. Biking again. It is refreshing at the end of the day but it can be tough. It isn't nearly as hilly here in Lake Murry as it was in Downtown Columbia.. So that's nice.. I feel pretty inadequate training Elder Adams.. As fas as I can tell he was born a missionary and knows whats going on. I really feel kinda dumb sometimes. I think he is alot like I was when I first came out. I am greatful for President McConkie and the inspiration and revelation he received for this transfer. Elder Adams and I are alot alike, we work with people the same way and have alot of the same ideas about missionary work. It's cool. We have some possible baptisms on the horizon but it looks like it might be a difficult journey here in the Lake. The ward seems pretty awesome so far so that is pretty exciting I really love missionary work, unfortunatly as we read in Preach my Gospel, "nothing happens in missionary work until you find people to teach.." Regardless I will serve with all of my heart, might, mind and strength and know that we will find people!

Our last Zone Conference was really cool! I really felt the spirit super strong! Elder Snow of the Seventy came and spoke with us.. Maybe I already told you that I don't know.. regardless it was a great experience! Afterwards as all the missionaries were leaving in the parking lot I walked over to him to shake his hand and say thanks, and he politley said, "Thank you for your comments and participation.." Even though he would say that to anyone he was a pretty personable man and I know he meant it becuase I shared my testimony of feeling the spirit and related a story to the zone during the conference.. so that was a pretty awesome experience. I pray that you get the Job dad! Oh and Ben, I was able to buy 2 suits with the money you sent, It was cool becuase they were both 74.99 but after she rang them both up, one of the suits happened to be only $7.00! It was cool it had like a $60 discount and a $7 discount.. I don't know if that math works, but hey the Gospels true! Love you all! Love your missionaries! Help them find people to teach! Alma 29:9-10

Love you all! I know that the Gospel is true, that the Book of Mormon is literally another word of God and that Jospeh Smith was a true prophet of Jesus Christ. It is simple but it is true! I say that in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
