<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">What a week it has been!!! Another fast one, that's for sure. Bare with me as I try & explain the feelings of my heart. It's just so much & I hope I can share everything with y'all in this email. We had an amazing lesson with our new investigator Mary. From the very beginning of the lesson, the Spirit was so strong. She kept saying over & over again about how she feels this excitement & happiness that she can't even describe. As we were helping her understanding the restoration of the gospel, she just had this big smile on her face & she was just filled with the Spirit of the Lord. It was so awesome. She even ended up committing herself to baptism. We don't have a specific date yet but we plan on setting a date with her <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1597808543" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span>. </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">This week was filled with bittersweet feelings. You'll read that a lot in this email. Let me remind y'all that the Lord truly does know us by name & he knows what we need individually. One of the tender mercies this week was getting our truck fixed within an hour. We were told we would have to drive a few hours & that it would take about 2-3 hours. We pulled up to Nissan & right off the bat we were greeted with, "Sisters, what can we do for you?" The guy who helped us out ended up being a member & we finished it up a lot earlier than expected. Tender mercy! That was fun! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1597808544" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span>, I had the opportunity to bare my testimony & thank the Decatur Ward for their love. Another tender mercy was being able to see a sweet family from my first area (Azle), who ended up coming to our ward cause their building was flooded. That was a tender mercy to see them one last time before I head home. </span></div>

Has it really come to that time? Is this really my final email home? Dang man, the past 19 months have been nothing but AMAZING!!!!! This journey has been one that was not easy. I've felt broken, lost, confused, hurt, sad, depressed, angry & I've wanted to give up & throw in the towel so many times, but because of my Savior, Jesus Christ, & through the love & support from each of y'all, my family, my friends, my companions, my Leaders, my mission Presidents & my Heavenly Father, I figured out how to rely more fully on the atonement of my older brother. I've been able to draw closer to him as I've fell to my knees, pleaded with them, prayed to him & as I've sought his council & guidance in all things. I have had beautiful, spiritual confirmations that God knows me. He knows me by name, Jesus Christ is my Savior & the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is Christ's church once again established upon this earth. I have gained a stronger witness that Jesus Christ does know what we each go through. No matter how far we think we have drifted from him, he is there lifting us up, carrying us, loving us & cheering us on every step of the way. I know this to be true because I have felt carried & lifted & loved especially in moments of despair. Jesus Christ is the prince of peace. He is the one that will calm our troubled seas & he stands at the head of the church. No amount of "Thank yous" can or will ever express my gratitude for him & his beautiful sacrifice that he made on my behalf.</span><br />

THANK YOU!!! You each have touched my life in some way.

MAHALO NUI for supporting me, loving me, praying for me, sending me packages, sending me letters, emailing me & most importantly, THANK YOU FOR CHEERING ME ON over the past 19 months. The decision that I made to leave my family for 18 months & all that I ever knew, to go out & spread the gospel to an unfamiliar place was a hard decision, but definitely so worth it. My mission has been so sacred. I've been beat but I've also never been any happier. This was the best decision I could've made. I have learned things here that will carry with me throughout the rest of my life & eternity. The best 18 months for the rest of my life! If you are reading this & if you are thinking about a mission, the best advice that I can give you is GO!!! I did not want to go cause I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn't realize how rewarding & fun it would be. "If he have desires to serve God, he are called to the work." (D&C 4:3). "There's no growth in the comfort zone & no comfort in the growth zone." I stand as a witness that the work of the Lord is going forth. "The standard of truth has been erected. No unhallow hand can stop the work from progressing. Persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble & calumny may defame. But the truth of God will go forth, boldly, nobly and independent. Till it has penetrated every continent, visited every climb, swept every country & sounds in every ear. Till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say, the work is done!" The blessing that I've received when I first arrived here in Texas has been fulfilled, "You will cry more tears going home then you did coming here." It's a bittersweet feeling for sure. In Hawaiian we say, "A hui hou!" Which simply means, "until we meet again!" A hui hou e Texas!!! Aloha mai e kō Maui!!!! See y'all in just 3 short days </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😁" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f601" goomoji="1f601" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f601" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> the excitement & anticipation is real.

There are miracles happening all around. I am constantly reminded that the Lords timing is perfect time. Patience truly is a virtue. Good news, we have a few new referrals that we plan on seeing this up coming week & we also have a new investigator that came to church yesterday with her husband who's a member. She really wants to learn more about the gospel & is pretty much golden. She told us how she used to be really rude to the missionaries in the past. We asked her if it was Elders (boy missionaries) or Sisters (girl missionaries) & she said both. Thank goodness she changed & loves us. The ward just opened their arms & embraced them. Very proud of the member fellowship that they received. Keep them in y'all's prayers! Here are some fun things & great miracles from the week that we had. We go to see one of our investigators who is CRAZY!!!! His name is Chuck & he's such a hoot. He originally met with some Elders in the past & would go to church with them on a regular. The Sisters found him one day & have been teaching him ever since. All I ask is that y'all keep him in y'all's prayers. He has a hard time keeping commitments, but his desire is there. We see it every time the spirit touches him & when we testify. Please send an extra prayer his way!</span></div>

She's the best. So sweet & very close to the Lord. It was cool! So I had the opportunity to spend part of my day with our mission President's wife. She came to Decatur so she could spend some time with me before I went home. How cute! Anyways, we got to see Grace & she had a hang up about Jospeh Smith & his role in being the one to restore the gospel back to this earth. Sister Whitney bore a powerful testimony of the life that our prophet lived. How he had only but a 3rd grade education, but through the power of the Lord, was blessed with the ability to translate ancient literature to English. The Spirit was so strong & Grace knew exactly what she needed to do. She told us that she's been slacking at reading from the Book of Mormon but that if she wants an answer that she needs to read the Book & pray about it. I just loving seeing the ball drop for people & for that light to come on when they feel the Spirit & when they know what to do without even having to be told. She's putting it to the test. We know she will receive an answer & we're excited to follow up with her on that this coming week. </span></div>

<li style="color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">We were having dinner at one of our members home who just recently moved into the ward & the ward they came from had boy missionaries (Elders). During our dinner conversation, the husband jumps up & says, "do you wanna see my guns?" & both Sister Casper & I are like, "YES!" He brings out about 8 including 4 from his pocket, he unloaded them all & tells us that we can take pictures with them as long as we face them away from everyone. His wife then said, "thats a first from the sisters. Usually just the Elders want to see his guns."</span></li>

We put the address into our GPS & off we went. We ended up in the middle of no where, behind a hotel. As we were pulling up we see a high chain linked fence with the circle barb wire on the top. I straight look at my comp & say, "watch this be a correctional facility." & sure enough, as we pulled up we see a sign that said, "welcome to the MTC Bridge Correctional Center." Good one! Looks like we wont be seeing Donte anytime soon. </span></li>

I was sweetly reminded that all is & that everything will be okay. It's truly just bitter sweet. One thing that I've just absolutely loved is being able to see the Savior not just change the lives of those around me, but most importantly, seeing my life change as I've been on my mission. I was reminded of something that I've been really pondering lately a simply line, "It's my mission too." The choices that I make & the risks that I take not just affect me, but also affect those round me. It all starts with me. The Lord said, "be ye perfect even as i am." He never said be perfect today or <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1663927612" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> or next week or month form now, he simply expects us to try. We are surrounded by people everyday. They see us & they notice the things we do. If we're trying & always putting our best foot forward, they will see that they too can make it. Remember that its your mission too. Your mission should be to be more like Christ, to follow his example & to fulfill our Heavenly Father's plan by doing the things necessary to be able to return to live with Him again some day. I love this gospel so much & I absolutely love my mission. It has truly been the best thing to prepare me for the rest of my life. I'm anxious to reunite with you all in just 10 precious days </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🤗" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f917" goomoji="1f917" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f917" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Until then, I will be sprinting through to that finish line.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> This week was a week full of service. It went by so quick! We spent most of the week helping people pack up & move. Good news, we got to finally see one of our investigators, who I've never met since I've been here. Her name is Grace & she's currently trying to study the Book of Mormon & the Bible side by side. Oh & she also loves family history. I mentioned her in my email last week. She basically said, "once I know the Book of Mormon is true, I'll come to yalls church." She's so cute & her desire to know of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon is there. She's so great! Please pray for her as she takes up Moronis challenge, by asking God if what she's reading is true. I know that she will get an answer & that she will know & feel of its power & truth. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Fun Story: We had a bible referral that we contacted this week, his name is Curtis & he wanted to meet us at a restaurant called Braums. Well, we go over there & wait for him & mind you, we don't even know what this guy looks like at all. I see this guy walk in & stare hard core at me but he just keeps walking, so I don't think much of it. Sister Casper & I were sitting there for a good 15 or 20 minutes at this point, & I start calling out for Curtis to every guy that I see that walks in. I even started singing his name at one point & my companion was dying from laughing so hard. I even turned to her & said, "watch him be sitting right behind us!" Well, we end up texting Curtis to see where he at & he sends us a text back that says, "I'm sitting behind you." I straight turn around & we all started laughing so hard. He goes, "I knew it was y'all this whole time. I just didn't wanna say anything." Thanks Uncle! Talk about awkward </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;">🤦🏽♀️</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Another story for y'all: We were helping one of our members move last minute, & we realized that we had no rope or anything to tie down some things in the back of our truck. We thought it would be fine but then we got a little worried. I ended up jumping in the back seat & tried to use my arm to hold it all up. Let's just say, I felt like my arm was gonna fall off every time that wind picked up & blew against it. We pull up to Walmart & decided to buy some rope when this random man comes up & asks if we needed help & some rope. Uncle goes & ties down the stuff & ended up telling us where we could get good role for cheap. Moral of the story is it okay to ASK FOR HELP & take the help when offered. We ended up using that rope the rest of the week. As we were thanking this man, he ended up telling us that this was the only good deed that he could do that didn't become a fail. He's been trying to seek opportunity to do random acts of service & we finally gave him one. He thanked us for giving him an opportunity to serve. Blessing in disguise </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🙏" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f64f" goomoji="1f64f" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f64f" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> This week has come & gone. I'm continuing to see the gospel bless my life & the lives of those around me. I was blessed with the opportunity to give a training at district meeting & we talked about the importance of talking with everyone & teaching when we find & finding when we teach. There are opportunities all around us where we can stand as a witness of Christ & be that good example for those around us. In Preach My Gospel (a book to help missionaries work), it says, "As those you teach experience the blessings of the gospel, their desire to share it will increase." I have seen this happen over & over again as I've been able to help my brothers & sisters learn more about the gospel. I've also seen this in my own life as well. I've seen how as I've studied my scriptures more earnestly, as I've prayed more fervently, as I've feasted upon the words of Christ, my testimony has been strengthened & my personal desire to share the gospel has increased dramatically. I've seen where I was 18 months ago & I see where I'm at today & it's amazing to recognize the eternal perspective more fully. I know that this is only possible through my loving Father in Heaven & my Savior, Jesus Christ. We all can have a desire to share the gospel with those around us. It can be in small ways. You never know unless you try. Here's a challenge for y'all, dive into the scriptures & then pray for an opportunity to share the gospel with someone in someway & ask Heavenly Father to guide you to that someone. I promise you that you'll come to appreciate the gospel & the blessings that come from being obedient & heeding the promptings of the Spirit. It will be amazing. I love y'all oh so very much!!!!! Thanks for the love & support!!!!

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1304056045" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span>, we had our district meeting where we focused a lot of our time on charity. The meaning of charity & what it looks like when working with investigators, members, less actives, leaders & companions. I was able to be reminded of why having charity is so important in everything we do. We touched up on the scripture found in Moroni 7 verses 45-47.</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">"45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail--</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The main thing that hit home for me was the fact that charity never faileth. We will never fail if we have that pure love of Christ. What an awesome promise given to us as children of our Heavenly Father. If we have charity, if we are patient, kind, envieth not, is not puffed up, & if we have hope & endureth all things, we are also promised (in verse 48) that "we shall see him as he is & be purified even as he is." This helps me understand & know that no matter what happens, if we endure & face our challenges with hope, we can have this beautiful blessing given to us. How loving is our Father in Heaven. Definitely gives me lots of strength to keep on going. Such an awesome knowledge. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Exchange miracle happen this week. Sister Casper & Sister Hardy were able to contact an investigator that we've been having trouble seeing. They visited with her & ended up teaching her more about the Book of Mormon. She's really interested in family history & she told the sisters, "I wonder what tribe I'm from?" The Sisters proceeded to tell her what tribe they were from & she was so amazed & she asked them how they knew that. They taught her about patriarchal blessings & they invited her to read the Book of Mormon. She told them that if they would've come 2 days ago, she wouldn't dare read it, but that they came at perfect timing. She committed to read it & we'll be following up with her this week. We're so excited for her! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Ima try & make this email a little bit different so bare with me as I explain the week that we've had. It went by fast, as they usually do now days haha. We picked up about 3 new investigators. One of them was a bible referral who was self referred. Apparently the Sisters could never get in contact with her & so we went over thinking that we probably won't be able to catch her home. Well, she was home, welcomed us in & we ended staying there for about an hour and a half. She absolutely loves religion & had been studying with different churches but is really interested in learning more about what we believe in as Latter Day Saints. Her name is Patricia & she was so excited that we finally contacted her. We taught her about the importance of the Book of Mormon & how it goes hand in hand with the Bible. She ended up taking a Book of Mormon & committed to read with before we come back. She said, "give me 2 weeks & y'all can come back & teach me more." We're super stoked because her roommate (who's from South Korea) even sat in on the lesson & was super amazed & impressed with the sacrifices that we make to be missionaries. Keep them in y'all's prayers please!!!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> The other new investigator is also a former investigator. We were trying to clean up our area book a little bit & we came a cross a guy (Miguel), who had a previous baptism date but was dropped because he was unable to contact. Well, for some reason or another, I turned to my companion & said, "it doesn't hurt to try." We both felt that we should reach out so we did. I will admit, it was a test of faith because we were praying that we would have some kind of success because literally all of our appointments fell through. We decided to give it a shot & follow that small feeling we felt & so, we texted him & he told us that he wants to meet with us again & even set up a time & a place. He even expressed a want of coming back to church too. Miracle! Reminds me of the scripture in D&C 100:5-6 which says, "Therefore, verily I say unto you, lift up your voices unto this people; speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you shall not be confounded before men; For it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say." We felt a feeling in our hearts to reach out & as we did, Miguel responded & acted on the feelings he felt. Who knows, maybe something happened that made him want to learn more or who knows. I do know that this is the Lords work & that we as missionaries are merely his hands, his tools in fulfilling the wonderful plan of our Father in Heaven. We're super stoked to start meeting with him again & helping him recognize the truths that he once felt & knew. Pray for him please!!!! </span></div>

He used to drive trucks & lived a ways from the city & one day his truck broke down near the city. He pulled into the square & saw a yellow car with a beautiful car that was getting in it. He ended up following her all the way home. She pulled into her drive way & he rolled his window down & said, "I'm coming back for you." Then Uncle goes & asks everyone in town if they know who owns a yellow car & if they knew her name. He found out where her & her friends hang out so he ended up showing up with his friends. He saw her sitting next to this football player & he told the guy to meet him outside. Uncle straight up punched him in the nose about 2 times & then the girl came up to him & was like, "you just pick fights with people?" He said, "only if it has something to do with me!" & she was confused & asked him, "how does this have something to do with you?" & he said, "it has everything to do with me! You're mine!"

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> To explain my heading, it's something that's been really been on my mind lately. Why do I need God in my life? To answer the question, I need God in my life because life is hard. I need him in my life to help me see the bigger picture. He does this by sending his Son & the Holy Spirit to comfort & guide me each day. I'm truly nothing without him. The more I study & the more I pray, I've been able to grow my knowledge of who God is & what he needs me to accomplish here in earth. Heavenly Father has blessed my life tremendously. He spared my life at such a young age because he knew (before I even knew), that I would accomplish great things. By trusting him & by believing in his plan, he has helped me see that I am very much needed in this world & that we ALL are very much needed in this world. We've all got a purpose & we all play a part in Gods plan. Here's a simple challenge for y'all. Shoot me an email & tell me why you need God in your life. This has been on my mind a lot lately & if we all take sometime to really ponder this question & answer it sincerely & honestly, we will have our faith & testimonies strengthens without even knowing it. It's the little things that really make the biggest differences. Reach up, reach out & love!

One minute I was saying goodbye & next minute I was saying hello. Ima give y'all a run down of the crazy fun week that I had here in Texas. Last week Monday, we got to hangout with the Zone (all the other missionaries in an area) & play some good volleyball & say our "see you laters." Later that night we had a bon fire at one of our members house & it turned into a surprise birthday for one of the Hermanas (sisters) in our district. That was bomb! We even had a less active come out & a non member came too. It was so chill. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1725047395" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>, </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Tuesday Sister Johnson & I went around to say our goodbyes to some of our peeps & then we ended that night with a huge miracle. We had a baptism!!!!! </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😄" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f604" goomoji="1f604" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f604" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Long story short, this guy has had like 3 dates before but kept canceling every single one of them. He just recently got diagnosed with cancer, stage 4 & with special permission, he was able to get baptized right before we left. It was such a beautiful baptism. The Spirit was so strong & lots of people came out to support him. I will never forget the Spirit of love that was felt there. It was a moment that I'll never forget. Great way to leave Temple. It's so funny cuz, when I found out that I was being sent down south, I cried & had so much anxiety cuz I did not want to leave, but when I got the news that I was being transferred up north, that familiar sadness came again cuz I definitely grew to love Temple, in the short amount of time that I was there. Funny how that works. Like I always say, "no comfort in the growth zone & no growth in the comfort zone." Lord knew that it would've been harder to leave if I stayed any longer. </span></div>

We had to drive our car up since our area was being closed down. Your girl totally drove 2 hours & did so good. Thank goodness I was following a member who had the Elders & all our stuff haha. God is good! Transfers literally went by so fast! Before I knew it, I met my new companion & we were headed up to Decatur. I love my new comp, her name is Sister Casper & she's my first comp that isn't from Utah. We've already been laughing way too much & we're too much alike it's crazy haha. This will be an interesting 5 weeks haha. We had dinner with our ward mission leader & his wife & then we went out on exchanges with them. It was so fun! We got to see a guy who I was working with in my first area. It was so good to see the progress that he has made & to see how much he's grown since the last time I saw him. That was awesome! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1725047398" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span>, we did our weekly planning & spent the evening at an investigators house who has such crazy little girls that are so funny.

Super stoked for that! We spent the rest of the day trying to contact & find people. It ended up raining & storming really bad so we had to go home & wait it out a bit till the weather cleared up. We got to visit a less active sister, how is such a hoot. She loves anything & everything about Hawai'i & I ended up teaching her a hula noho. She was so thrilled. I love her so much already!!!! </span></div>

We first tried to see a potential investigator who basically lied to us & told us that he was busy & sick....we coming back for you Chuck! We got to visit with a sweet less active Brother & his nonmember wife who we're working with. Oh my gosh! She's literally my twin. We were cracking up with them & when they found out I was from Hawai'i, the conversation never ended. Long story short, his daughter is a Kumu Hula in Florida & they ended up calling her up & introducing her to me over the phone. That was so funny! It was so nice to talk to someone in Hawaiian again. It's been so long!Before we left, his wife turned to me & said, "you came here for me." We really connected & my prayer is that we'll be able to help her recognize the joys & the blessings that this gospel brings. Please keep her in y'all's prayers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">We ended up getting a text from a family asking us if we were still coming to dinner & we were so confused cuz we thought we didn't have a dinner appointment. Funny story, on our meal calendar someone put "missionaries" instead of their own names. Come to find out, the sweet sister forgot to put her name down & instead wrote our names haha.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /> Just in case y'all forgot, Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ loves each of us so much. They know what we need before we even know it. They always know what's best for us. As I've mentioned, I don't do well with change & it often scares me & I usually have a hard time adjusting. Well, here's a perfect example of how God has answered my prayers & how he has given be that peace & reassurance that I am exactly where I need to be.<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1725047402" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> at dinner, I find out that I totally know our members parents who took such good care of us missionaries in my first area. Every pday before transfers, Mama Bell would have us all over & feed us yummy waffles with ice cream. It's been a tradition for years. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1725047403" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> at church, I met the parents of one my favorite families in my second area. Shout out to the Blankenfelds. Then, we were asked to talk to the little sunbeams class about missionary work & I totally recognized this cute little girl who's family took such good care of us in my first area. Before she left, she ran up to me & gave me a big hug. It was the cutest thing ever. Just goes to show that the Lord loves us so much. He knows that change is hard for me & so he placed me in an area where I am able to reconnect with familiar faces. Heavenly Father is so amazing! I testify that as we turn our fear in to faith & trust in him, even if we may not understand, he will be with us every step of the way. Let us be more fearless & more trusting in God & our Savior. After all, they love us & they know what's best for us. I love this gospel so much!!!!! It just never ceases to amaze me. I love y'all SO much too!!!!!! Thanks for all that y'all do for me. Keep going y'all! Never give up!! Have a fabulous week & remember, SMILE!!! The world needs your beautiful spirits. Life's what you make it so make it good </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😘" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f618" goomoji="1f618" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f618" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> until next week my loves!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Hey y'all hey!!!!! How y'all doing on this fine <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1343624844" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> morning? Dang, my last transfer here starts this week. Ahhhhh!!!! Crazy how time just goes on by. I'm totally stoked to see what the good Lord has in store for me as I continue to do my best to serve him. Dang man so, transfer calls came in this morning & I'll be spending my last 6 weeks up north in Decatur. I'm excited! Week 74 here in Temple has been solid. Ima share with y'all all the wonderful times where we've made a difference in someone's life & vise versa. This week I've been really trying to focus on recognizing the good, so bare with me as I share with y'all all the good that has happened. Last week Monday, we had a good pday with the rest of the missionaries. Played some good volleyball & scatter ball. Thank goodness no one got a bloody nose this time haha. Body was hurting bad the next few days though haha. Good times!! After dinner, we got to visit a sweet less active sister who's daughter, expressed a want of coming back to church. It was a nice visit. We talked about the importance of church with them & they expressed a want of come back. It's hard to come back after being a way for so long, but isn't God just amazing. He gives us multiple chances to change our ways & come back to him. Such a wonderful blessing given to us by him. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1343624845" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>, we had our district meeting. It was so powerful. Something that really hit home for me was when we talked about recognizing the good the we do everyday as missionaries. We were asked the question, "how much good to do you think you do in your area?" That really hit home for me because, I've been really trying to focus on it this week. It's easy & it's natural for us (me) to focus on the negative, but when we take a step back, we realize that we do so much more good then we often think. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-italic"; font-size: 17pt; font-style: italic;">"Most often, the things that we can not count, are the things to count." </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It was a perfect reminder for me that we are doing a lot better then we think we're doing. Reminded me of a quote that I just love, can't remember where I heard it but it says, "When you are on the Lords errand, you can not fail." I am grateful for that promised blessing. </span></div>

Can y'all believe that she's already in Helaman & she's only started reading the Book of Mormon a few weeks ago?! Man, she's so awesome!! We just need to help her understand & recognize the importance of attending church. Please pray for us as we try & do the best we can to help her. We got to also see Jomeo & Josephine <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1343624847" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span> & <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1343624848" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span>. We read the Book of Mormon with them & that was cool. They love it & you can just see the light in their eyes as they feast upon the words of Christ. It's so fun to watch them grow in the gospel. Pray that they'll come to church please!!! Jomeo wants to make it more of a priority so please keep them in y'all's prayers. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1343624849" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span>, we spent most the day finding. Got to see a few less actives & a new move in. Cool story, so we went to put gas at a 7/11 near or church, & as we were in the store waiting to get a receipt, the owner of the store greeted us & told us to follow him. Then he said, "in appreciation for what you do, please make a slurpy (as he grabs the biggest one) no charge! I really appreciate what you do!" That melted my heart. People do recognize us & we do make a difference in their lives. That was awesome & so sweet. We ended up dropping one of our newer investigators because he really just wasn't ready to listen & just wanted to bash at us. That was sad, but before we left, he prayed for us & thanked the Lord & us for coming & spreading the word. We sure made a difference in his life. We may not be ale to force him to believe us & to listen to us, but you could tell that he definitely felt something. The Lord will know when he's ready. </span></div>

It's good fun though when you got a solid teaching pool. We had such a blast at dinner. Never a dull moment with Sister Hammel. I'll tell y'all how we made a difference in her life, Sister Johnson & I are one of a kind & we had her laughing so hard. Funny story, I was explaining to her how my family wants to come to Texas to visit & see my mission & her response was, "why would they wanna come here? There's nothing here! I'm a Maui wanna be!" Okay it was a lot funnier when it happened cause her face was so funny </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😂" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f602" goomoji="1f602" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f602" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Let's just say everyone in the restaurant thought there was something wrong with us since we laughed so much.

It's always so fun!!! We definitely made a difference in a lot of people's lives that morning. We got to see one of my favorite less active Uncles after we did service. Same Uncle that I talked about last week that was drunk haha. He wasn't drunk this time & we had a good lesson about changing our lives for the better. At one point, he got teary eyed & he shared a story of a famous Sargent who changed his life & turned it over to the Lord. It was so touching! Before we left, he asked me something about what I did for work & I told him about how my brothers & I have a band & we sing & stuff. He asked me what kind of songs we sing & I said all kinds. Next thing I know, he & I started singing the old school song "oh Donna". Oh man! He's my favorite. I love that Uncle so much. Oh & cool story, he told us at church yesterday, that right after he told us the story about that Sargent, he turned on his tv & a movie about this Sargent was playing. Not a coincidence!! Super cool. </span></div>

We got to meet his cute little puppy that his dog just gave birth too. Ohh man!!! So adorable. We also got to meet his daughter & her other half for the first time. That was sweet. Cool story, they showed us their rats & mice that they have. That was cool. Then they said they had a snake & of course I said, "wait what? I wanna see this snake." The two of them looked at each other & said, "she's cool. We like her." Haha. I guess we made a good impression on them. That was fun! After dinner, a big storm came & as we pulled in to the church to do numbers. We found the rest of our district outside playing football in the rain. Yes we joined them & we had a blast!!! It was so fun!!! Never forget the good that you do every day. It may not be big things. It can be little things. We all do so much good in the world & we often never realize it. This week, I want y'all to take the time to recognize those moments where you've made a difference in someone else's life. Write it down & never forget the good that you do everyday! Look around! As you do so, you're appreciation & love for the Savior will grow. You're gonna want to serve more & you're life will be filled with love & joy. Let's strive to be more positive! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Shout out to all y'all who read my emails & email me back. Y'all are amazing for remembering me haha. This week was fast! Flew on by real quick. Lots of good & funny things happened. We had a nerf gun war for pday. That was fun! My poor companion got a bloody nose from playing chair soccer </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🙈" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f648" goomoji="1f648" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f648" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> ouch! We spent the rest of the evening trying to find some awesome peeps. We got to introduce ourselves to such a sweet less activity Sisters. Story behind her is no one has been able to get in to her home & we got welcomed in on the first try. It definitely was Spirit directed & even clicked with her daughter who's not a member. It was such a sweet visit & we're excited to start working with her. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_777963290" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>, we got to see Mr. Don. We taught him & his daughter Rachel a review lesson about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So, as missionaries & as members of Christ church, we are told to "feast upon the words of Christ" & to "open our mouths" & in return, we are promised to have "all things come to our remembrance." Both Don & Rachel have been really trying to both listen & read the Book or Mormon & they had a question about a story of one of the families. It was amazing because, as I do my daily feasting (studying), the story was brought to my remembrance & I was able to help them understand what they were reading. It was super cool. If had the opportunity to have lots of experiences like these & it just goes to show that the Lord is so amazing. He will not leave us & he will help us as we help him fulfill his marvelous plan. </span></div>

The lesson was all about obedience, keeping the sabbath day holy, church, praying & reading the scriptures. It was awesome because, both Jomeo & Josephine are strong believers that <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_777963292" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> is the Lords day.

What a great example of honoring the Lord & worshiping him on his holy day. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_777963294" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span>, was our District Meeting.

He's the best!!! Our relief society President came with us & we were able to teach him about the restoration of our church. Boy oh boy! He told us about the trials that he is going through, with being a single parent to a 4 year old, & he just really wants to know that he isn't alone. As we bore testimony & testified of the truth that was manifested to us, the Spirit was so strong & you could just feel that this man is truly searching. His face lit up as we could feel the love that Christ has for him. It was awesome!!! </span></div>

That was good! We got to visit a less active brother. Probably one of my favorites cause he's such a hoot, or in other words, he's crazy in a funny way (if that makes any sense) haha. Anyways, as we pulled up to see him, unko was smoking & when he sees us he comes out & he comes out & couldn't even walk straight. So what do we do? We reviewed the word of wisdom with him & told him to give us his pack of cigarettes & beer, but unko done drinked it up & smoked it up.....aiyaaa! It's okay though because, we had such a spiritual lesson (believe it or not) & during the lesson, he turned to us & genuinely asked us to help him quite smoking & drinking. We bore testimony & told him that we would do everything that we can to help. We told him that we are here to help him & you could just tell that he really appreciated it & the love of the Lord filled his heart instantly. He even came to church yesterday & found a ride all by himself. Look at him growing making changes! </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="👍" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f44d" goomoji="1f44d" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f44d" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" />🏽</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> His desire is there & the Lord will bless him for putting in the work & effort. Later that night, we got to finally visit with another one of our investigators, the Johnson family.

My first time ever meeting with them & it was so great. They too are searching & have a desire to be like Christ. It's awesome to be able to assist them as they draw closer to Christ. After the lesson, I was told that missionaries can never get her to talk, but I am grateful that we were able to hit it off real quick & that I could use my talents of making friends quickly. Funny story, one of her little daughters looks at me & says, "wait, you not black?" Then turns to her mom & says, "mama she ain't black but she act black." </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😂" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f602" goomoji="1f602" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f602" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> We all started cracking up. Then one of the other daughters walked up to her sister & straight up pulled her weave out of her hair. I lost it!!! </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😂" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f602" goomoji="1f602" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f602" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Mind you, she's been praying & asking God to grow her hair.

Isn't that so awesome!!!! She definitely made an impact on them if they drove 3 hours just to see her. It was such a beautiful morning!! We had heaps of fun with them. We spent the afternoon doing a finding activity with our district. We went chalking at a park & got to talk to a man who really needed to hear the word of God. Talk about being at the right place at the right time. Ask me about the guy & I'll be more then happy to tell you the story </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">.

My companion & the less active sister busted out laughing. Hey, anything to get a smile I guess. Then as I was grabbing a Book of Mormon from the car to give to her, I also whacked my head on her big plant that was hanging from her porch. Epps!! It was a nice evening of laughter & as we left she thanked us for the laughs & for coming to see her. I love that lady! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> I love being a missionary! This week has been a week of seeing the good. Remembering that everyone is different & everyone is unique & special in their own little ways. If God made us all the same then life would be boring & plain. I love being able to connect & relate to people. Some people are good at drawing & some are good at stick figures. Some are good at singing & some are good at humming. We are different but together, we can become something great. I want to invite y'all to pray & ask Heavenly Father to help y'all recognize that hidden talents that y'all have. Everyone is gifted with some kind of talent, what's yours? Let's recognize the talents that we are blessed with & use it for the benefits of others. It will not only bless your life, but it will also bless someone else's life. You could be the answer to someone else's prayer without even knowing it. Find your talents & use it!!!! Like the parable of the talents, let's strengthen our talents so the Lord can multiply them & give us more beautiful talents. Y'all are amazing & I'm blessed to have so much love & support while on my mission. Remember that I love each of y'all SO much, but more importantly, Jesus Christ loves you more. Let's be more optimistic & more positive. The world needs that light! Reach out & reach up! Have a blessed week my loves! Until next week </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="❤" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="2764" goomoji="2764" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/2764" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" />️</span></div>

Special thanks to those who took the time to answer the question from my email last week. I enjoyed reading all the responses. I hope everyone is having a beautiful day so far. Week 73 was an awesome one. We've been doing lots of finding so we can continue to grow our teaching pool. So just a little update on Don. He is doing so good. We went to see him twice this week & the first time we saw him, we asked how he's been doing with trying to live the Word of Wisdom. Uncle started looking at us & then he looked at his daughter in law & said, "oops." Then he told us that he's been smoking again, cuz he gets bored & lonely. So what does Sister Kawa'a do? I made him give me his pack of cigarettes. He was shocked, but willingly gave them to me & we helped him to come up with a plan to keep him busy throughout the week. He really wants to keep the commandments but he says that's it's hard. Yes it's hard! But it's worth it. He's growing in the gospel very slowly. After teaching him about the Law of Chastity, we asked him if he would live it & he said yes. Then we asked him why he would live it & his answer was simple. He said, "I'll live it cause I want to go to Heaven." That was a reassurance that he knows that keeping the Lords commandments will allow him to one day return to live with God again. He's getting it & the Spirit is helping him continue to recognize truths. His scheduled baptism date is <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1466544081" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 1st</span></span> so please keep him in y'all's prayers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> This past week, we got to have a mission conference with Elder Lawrence of the seventy. He & his wife came & talked to us missionaries about our special calling to help gather in Israel. It was such an awesome mission conference. I'll share some of the things that stood out to me. We first talked about Jesus Christ & his mission here on Earth. He was specifically called by his Father, to teach the Israelites. He was serious about his calling & he knew his purpose. In the Book of Mormon, Nephi's favorite word to use for the Savior, was Holy one of Israel. He was a literal descendant of Israel which made his mission even that much more special. When Sister Lawrence was explaining Christ's mission, she likened it to us & our own mission. As missionaries, we have each been called of God to a specific place, because of our special & unique Spirits. We've each been called to help him gather Israel. How great is our calling? I know that we each have divine calls in helping the Lord gather Israel. We each play a special role in his marvelous plan. My eternal perspective on this has helped me to continue to remember that each person we meet, each person we teach is a literal son or daughter of God. As I've come to understand this, my capacity to love has grown. It's unbelievable. I think that's one of the most important things that I've learned on my mission. I've never thought I could feel so much love for someone who I don't even know, or never met before. It's just reassurance that Gods plan is real & that we are literally his children. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> We had a beautiful Mother's Day yesterday. Church was wonderful & we had a luncheon for the Relief Society sisters & all the mothers in the ward. The Spirit was present & the love in the room was so beautiful. Everyone got to fellowship with each other & hear wonderful talks about how we as mothers, daughters, aunts, nieces & sisters have such a sacred & import role here on Earth. Choosing to love someone is an act of faith. Being a mother can be both so heartbreaking & also so very rewarding. One speaker talked about mothers from the scriptures & their wonderful examples. What really touched me was the example & experience of Mary the mother of Jesus. The faith that she had when the angel Gabriel appeared to her & told her that she would conceive & bare a son who would save the world. She was faced with trial & opposition, but she endured it because she knew the greater plan. She knew what she was called to do. Her divine call was sacred & so powerful. Think of Emma Smith. She was the wife of a prophet & she too was forced to leave all that she knew to be that comfort & support that her husband needed. We each have special & divine calls as children of God. The greatest example is my own mother & all the women in my life. Thanks mom for loving me unconditionally & for supporting me in EVERYTHING. Your love is so inspirational & your sacrifice has blessed my life in so many ways. I hope to one day follow your example & love my kids the way that you love me & my brothers & even your hanai children & of course little Ceralena.

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> We'll gang, it's been another great week here in Temple. The gospel is so amazing & my mission just keeps getting better & better. The Lord is so wonderful & I am so blessed & grateful to have this precious time to prepare for the rest of my life. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know y'all are just counting down the days <img alt="🤗" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f917" goomoji="1f917" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f917" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /> haha. I love y'all so very much!!! I, on the other hand, am continuing to be in the "now". My focus is Temple & I'm excited to finish my mission out in such a unique area. I want you all to know that Christ has changed my life in so many different ways. He has reminded me that he knows me better then I know myself. My faith has grown so much & I can stand with Nephi & say that I know in whom I trust. I have full confidence & faith in Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ. They love me & I know that they love each of you!!!! They know you by name & they know what you are capable of. Don't give up y'all! The gospel is good news. Let's continue to share that good news with everyone around us. Keep shining your light cause people do see it & they do recognize it. Sorry if my email seems a little scatter brain. I just have so much to say & not a lot of time haha. I love each of y'all so much!!!! Thanks for loving me & supporting me on my mission. You each have been a huge blessing in my life & have touched my life one way or another. Go forth with faith & trust & know that God </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">is there!!!

Shout out to all y'all who send me updates & little emails each week. Thanks for doing that. I really to feel all the loves & prayers that are headed my way. All I can say is MAHALO NUI!! I really do appreciate each of y'all who take the time to think of me in their busy lives </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😙" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f619" goomoji="1f619" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f619" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Week 72!!!!! It was another fast one. My weeks feel fast while my days feel long. Okay sometimes haha but you get the point. I love the people that we are working with. They're all so awesome & we just need to get them all baptized & the world would be such a wonderful place haha. This past week, we had interviews with President Whitney & a "special" meeting with the Zone. We were trained on the importance of asking someone to be baptized & totally following the Spirit when doing so. It was really good! We watched a video of missionaries asking their investigator to be baptized & when the missionaries did this, the investigator responded with, "you know, I was waiting for someone to tell me something like that my whole life." That really hit me. We as missionaries have such a sacred & special calling. We get to invite people to come unto Christ. We get to help people who've been literally waiting their entire life's & don't realize it until they are asked, until they are invited to act. How great is our calling? Doesn't it make you feel motivated? I know for me, it definitely helped me to keep in mind the eternal perspective. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> We got to teach Payton this week. We reviewed the Law of Chastity & Word of Wisdom with her. It was really cool because, she knows that our bodies are temples & that if we think about temples, we want to keep them beautiful & pure so we have to do the same thing with our body's. Maintaining good health & putting in good things into our bodies. She basically was teaching us. We also got to teach Jomeo & Jospehine the same lesson. It's amazing because, all 3 of them, along with the rest of our investigators, have a desire to follow our Savior, Jesus Christ & that desire is so inspiring to me. That will have to be one of my favorite things about missionary, seeing the desire that our investigators have & the willingness that they have to act on the things that they feel as they're being taught. It's motivating & it strengthens my own testimony for sure. Oh good news, Jomeo & Josephine made it to church this week!!! </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😄" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f604" goomoji="1f604" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f604" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> That was literally their only obstacle & when we asked them how they liked it they simply said, "it was amazing!" We are so happy to see them progress in the gospel. Their doing so great. Another investigator that we have is Ronnie. He is a character. We taught him about Heavenly Fathers wonderful plan, The Plan of Salvation (learn more on <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://Mormon.org&source=gmail&ust=1494353738612000&usg=AFQjCNEm6TVoijF_2vxjeA1zIQz-IT67dQ" href="http://mormon.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Mormon.org</a>). When we first met with him, it felt a little awkward & I was kind of hesitant. Let me remind y'all, Heavenly Father knows his children. He knows when they're ready & when they're not. As soon as we started teaching him, that hesitation left & was replaced with peace from the Spirit. No one could deny the feelings that were felt as we shared this wonderful plan of happiness. It was awesome!!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Shout out to all you people who bend over backwards to fulfill your church callings. For those of you who aren't familiar with LDS services, all of our callings in the church including going on a mission, are all voluntary work. No one gets paid for the service they give in the church. Most of us have full time jobs or have to set it aside for a time, & choose to still have to fulfill our duty to the Lord. This week was just wonderful. Some of our ward members literally bend over backwards to go on exchanges with us & to make sure that we are taken cared of here on our missions. I will be honest, let me remind y'all, change is scary for me, as it is for most of us. Being taken from my comfort zone & being thrown into my uncomfortable zone is not fun for me. That's why I try to live by the saying, "there is no comfort in the growth zone & no growth in the comfort zone." Something that I've really been trying to study lately is obedience, sacrifice & trust. With the help from scriptures, praying & guidance from my 'ohana, I came to a realization that, sometimes, we don't understand why things happen & that's because we can not see the bigger picture. Our view gets blocked by the day to day struggles & tasks. Heavenly Father always sees the bigger picture. His view is eternal. Sometimes when we feel like we don't understand the "why", that's when we need to trust him the most! It seems impossible to do, but once we put our trust in him, the most greatest blessing will come. I see this happening in this transfer so far. I did not understand why the Lord was sending me down to an unknown area, with only 12 weeks left in my mission. I didn't understand why he was throwing me in the unknown. I didn't want to understand. I just let the natural man take over cause I wanted to do what I was comfortable with. I've really tried to humbled myself & plead with the Lord for understanding. I think I was expecting to receive this big answer to the why, but instead I got a simple sense of peace that came over me. I simply heard the words, "trust me." As I've trusted him, I have seen why the Lord needs me here at this very moment & at this very point in my mission. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /> I wanna leave y'all with my simple testimony that sacrifice really does bring forth the blessings of Heaven & so does obedience. As we sacrifice what we want to do & do what the Lord wants us to do, blessings from Heaven do come. No it's not easy, but it is worth it! Remember that! We have such a loving Father in Heaven who allowed his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to come down to earth & be that ultimate sacrifice who would save all mankind. Do you think it was easy for God to allow this to happen? Do you think it was easy for Jesus to accept such a big responsibility? It was easy because he understood the eternal perspective. He was tempted, but he gave no heed to it. He paid no attention to temptation. There was & there is no other man like him. He truly was no ordinary man. He is helping us fight the good fight. He is guiding us & he set that perfect example for us. I love that word strive which means, to make great efforts to achieve or maintain something. Let us make great efforts to successfully bring out our Heavenly Fathers plan for us. After all, his whole plan is to bring to pass the immortality & eternally life of man. Let's help him accomplish his plan by being more willing to align our will with his, by being more obedient. It's a lot easier to follow his commands. They bring us so much joy & not just temporary joy, but eternal joy. How awesome is that? I don't know about y'all, but I sure would love to be happy for a period that lasted forever. Wouldn't that be amazing? I know that we can all receive this. Let us humble our selves & strive to be a little better then we were yesterday. Let's be more willing to act & more bold to trust in our Heavenly Father, even when we don't always fully understand the why to things. He knows the bigger picture & only he knows what's best. Man, I love this gospel so very much. It's the very core of who I am & who I want to become. Let the gospel change your life. Love y'all so much family!!!! If you have the time & if you read my emails, answer this question for me, I want to know this, </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bolditalic"; font-size: 17pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">how has Jesus Christ changed your life?</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext-bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I would love to read your answers to this.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Another week has gone on by here in Temple, Texas. What can I say? It's different here, that's for sure. Week 71 was busy & busy is good! Ima give y'all a little run down on each beautiful soul that we were able to visit, teach & love on this week. First lets talk about Yoshi & his two daughters, Ada (8 yrs) & Chloe (6yrs). Yoshi has lived in Utah & has had his experience with Mormons. He loves Mormons & loves what we teach. He really wants his kids to have an open mind about religion & his kiddos really LOVE learning about Jesus Christ. It's been fun trying to find ways to teach them, like turning our lessons into games to get their attention, since they only have such a short attention span. Please pray for them & for us, as we discern our thoughts & needs to their thoughts & needs. I know that they are the Lords elect, because as we are reminded, "mine elect hear my voice." Please pray for us that we'll know how to best help them come closer to Christ. Next on the list is Don & his daughter in law, Rachel. Oh my gosh! They just amaze me. They love learning about the things we teach them & they both have a sincere desire to act on the things that are being taught. Don has been a lot more open with us & he's been a lot more happier & is now cracking jokes & interacting with us a lot more. We had a small memorial service for his wife & it was really good for him & his family because, they were able to receive the closure that was very much so needed. The more we spend time with them, the more open he gets. He's growing so much & the Spirit truly is touching his heart. Please keep praying for him! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> On to our Jamaican family, Jomeo & Josephine. We got to teach Jomeo this week & he just absolutely loves learning about the church. The only obstacle that we have with them is helping them see the importance of attending church. I know that the Lord truly is preparing them, because I see the way the Spirit touches their hearts whenever we teach them. They hear the masters voice & only want more. It's so fun to see them slowly growing & progressing in the gospel. We got to teach a new investigator, his name is Ronnie & he is a character. We taught him about the restoration of the gospel & he thought it was really cool & he just soaked it all in. It was funny because, we just showed up at his house, knocked on the door & he came out & was like already prepared to hear what we got. It was pretty cool to see how the Lord truly prepares people. We got to stop in to visit a potential investigator name George. He too has been prepared by the Lord. He really likes religion & learning about what we teach. The first time I met him, we showed up to just drop by & he welcomed us in & was excited to see us. I know that he is ready to hear our message because if he wasn't, he wouldn't have been so excited & eager to welcome us in. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Teaching the gospel & having this opportunity to be a full time missionary, has helped me to understand that there are people all around us. We just never know! We never know if the person next to us is struggling or if they just need to find happiness. Our job is to be the Lords hands. Be his instruments in helping our brothers & sisters come back to happiness. Find that lasting peace that they so long to have. The eternal joy. It continues to amaze me when I see the Spirit touch someone else's heart. Wether it be a member, non member or less active that we come in contact with. If they are his elect, if they are ready & prepared & if they are willing, they will hear his voice & they will recognize what they're missing. Another cool thing happen, we've been doing lots of "area book cleaning", which is basically going back into our records & making contact with former investigators (people who've been taught before by missionaries), to see if they're still interested. We got to finally make contact & set up appointments with 2 awesome guys that the sisters have been trying to meet with. Please pray that our appointments won't cancel...it usually does with them. We know that they too are the masters elect & that Satan is working extra hard to have them not meet with us. I love the Lord so much. He's got special plans & specific plans for each of his children. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Well family & friends, mahalo nui for all the love, support, prayers, emails, letters & little packages that y'all send. I really to appreciate all the things that y'all do. Each of you have strengthened me & encouraged to keep on keeping on. I want y'all to never forget the love that our Heavenly Father & Savior, Jesus Christ has for us. They love each of us so much! I know it because I see it & I feel it. I see if every time I talk to someone about the gospel. Wether it be through a pass a long card or by giving out a Book of Mormon or if someone asks me about my name tag. There are all kinds of ways that we can recognize & helps those around us recognize that eternal love & joy. As found in D&C 29:7, "And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;." How awesome is that. I have a testimony that there are so many people around us who truly do hear his voice. The master is preparing people for us to teach, love, guide & help. Let's be bold & loving in striving to reach out to those around us. Don't be afraid to stand as a representative of Jesus Christ at all times. After all, that is one of the promises that we make as members of this great church. Let's be more courageous & more faith driven instead of fear driven. Yes, it won't be easy but it will be worth it. Try it! I love y'all soooo much. Y'all make me so happy! I know y'all are doing the count down thing haha. Y'all are the best!!! I hope y'all have the best miracle filled week ever. Go out & change lives. Until next week beautiful people </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span></div>

We stopped to eat at Braums </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😍" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60d" goomoji="1f60d" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60d" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> & then we talked, slept & talked more. I got to experience Buc-ee's for the first time. That was a trip. It's got like 18 gas pumps & like a little grocery store thing in it. It was pretty cool if you ask me. We finally made it down to Temple at about 3:30ish. We had no time to unpack cuz next thing I knew, we were headed to the church to give some investigators a chapel tour. That was so fun. </span></div>

The Sisters then explained that they're missionaries & that they could tell him where a different church was located, so he gave them his info & they ended up teaching both him & his mom twice the follow week. They're golden & LOVE learning the gospel. The only hard thing is they work about an hour away <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1030239273" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> & Sundays. Good news is their trying to find a job closer so they can come to church with us. We're excited to start working closely with them. </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="👍" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f44d" goomoji="1f44d" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f44d" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> We also have an investigator name Don that we went & visited with after dinner. He & his daughter-in-law, Rachel, are taking the discussions. Don has a current baptism date set for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1030239274" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 3rd</span></span>. Please pray for him!!!! We helped him understand the word of wisdom a little bit more & thankfully, we had a recent convert & a member come with us & boy, it was powerful. They both shared heir own personally experiences & testimony of how they've overcome the Word of Wisdom with the help of the Lord & the gospel. It was awesome. When we went back to see Don again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1030239275" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span>, he said that he quite smoking. Miracle!!!! He's so happy & when he came to church yesterday, he told some of our members & they were so happy for him. We know he's on the right track now & that's only because he understands & is willing to change. So awesome!!! </span></div>

All the hard work paid off. Love y'all so much!!!! Well family & friends, this week has been a week of change. New area, new comp, new investigators & new members. With all this change that's happen, I will mention one thing that never changes & that is the gospel. Aren't we grateful that knowledge?! Sometimes we may never truly understand why things happen, but I've learned that when our faith starts to be tested, that's when need to rely on the Lord even more. It's sometimes hard to trust in the unknown or in the "uncomfortable", but as we rely on the one who knows the plan, he his comfort us, he will help us, he will guide us & he will lead us to familiar, safe & comfortable things. Family & friends, don't give up!!! As Elder Holland has said, "Heaven is cheering us on." Whenever I get down in the dumps, (cuz we do as humans), I remember & feel each of you & your prayers on my behalf. Thank you for thinking about me, praying for me & cheering me on. It gives me so much hope & faith to endure & continue on here in Texas. I love y'all so much & I miss y'all heaps. Let us all remember to stay close to the Lord so that he can bless us & mold us into something marvelous.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Howdy y'all! How y'all doing on this fine <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1377775479" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> mornin? I hope that everyone had a beautiful Easter cuz I know that I sure did. I'll explain more in a sec. First, can y'all believe that I've been out for 16 months now </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😱" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f631" goomoji="1f631" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f631" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Holy smokes!!! Time sure flies on by, when your having fun. The past 16 months have been nothing but a roller coaster. You've got the highs & you've got the lows but hey, all I can say is everything sure is worth it in the end. Bitter sweet moments. So, this week was a fast & busy one. We got lots of people to teach & find, find & teach. Ima just give y'all the run down & update y'all on all the beautiful souls that we're working with. Our newest investigators who are 9, little Chase & little Brandon. (I'm horrible & I think I may have forgotten his name but we'll call him Brandon). Anyways, both of their stories are kind of similar. Both come from pretty active families & both have expressed a desire to be baptized. A decision made all on their own. Our appointment with Brandon got rescheduled for this upcoming week, but we did get to meet with Chase. He's an awesome kiddo & I'm just in awe of his little desire to want to follow our Savior, Jesus Christ. His little example has touched my heart & I'm so grateful for him. Super excited & looking forward to continuing to work with both kiddos. The Tyler girls are doing well. We got to teach them & with the help of one of our ward missionaries, we were able to help them to stay focused & understand what we were teaching. One of them had lots of wonderful questions & you can just see the fire in her eyes when she understands the basics. It's definitely a faith builder for me. </span></div>

Also Jose (the father), said that we're definitely steering the pot for them. Things that they are learning are finally sinking in for them & to see them slowly grow is powerful. I just continue to be in awe of them. We're still planning on setting a date with them, all on the Lords time though. We taught good ol Alex. He's definitely feeling the Spirit. We had an awesome lesson with him about the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was super pumped & at the end of the lesson, we asked him if he would follow the example of our Savior & be baptized & he with a big huge smile on his face, he happily & eagerly said yes. </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😀" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f600" goomoji="1f600" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f600" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Such a happy moment for sure.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Well, it's transfers again! Oh & I've got some news, Sister Eddington will be staying here in Mansfield & I will be transferred down south to Temple, Texas. I will be honest, I am both torn & excited all at once. In the words of one of our recent converts, "It's a sad but happy day. Temple will be getting a great Sister missionary & we will be losing one." It makes no sense but I need to remember that this is the Lords work & not mine. I am reminded that there is no comfort in the growth zone & no growth in the comfort zone & let me just say, I am very uncomfortable. Change is good. It's a time for us to grow & truly become who our Father intends us to become. There is so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for the precious 4 months that I was able to be here in Mansfield. I've truly met strangers who've become family. I'm still not good at this whole "goodbye" thing, so I'll say A Hui Hou instead, which means "until we meet again." This past week was truly a time of reflection as I took time to ponder the Saviors final days here in mortality. I truly do stand all amazed at the love that he has offered me. I can't help but be eternally grateful for his sacrifice. In Alma 7:11-12, we read that he took upon himself all of the pains & sins of the world so that he would know "according to the flesh, how to succor his people." I am amazed at the strength, faith & obedience that he had. There's nothing that I can do to repay him. All I can do is follow him, trust him, believe in him & allow him to help me through every step of this life. It's never easy to accept our Fathers will, but Christ reminds us that it is possible. After all, he was always about his fathers business. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Well, this email is a short one. I'm kind of still in a shock mode but I know that everything happens for a reason. I'm reminded of one of the most powerful priesthood blessings, that I've received here in Texas. "You will cry more tears going home, then you did coming here." In the moment, I kind of chuckled & thought to myself, "yeah right", but that blessing becomes more real to me as I leave each sacred area that I've been assigned to labor in. The goodbyes get even harder & harder. To my Mansfield family, I love all of y'all SO much!!!!! It's a sad goodbye but I know I'll be back one way or another. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting back in the country. I'm assuming it's country in Temple.....we'll find out </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;">🤠</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Time to buckle up & enjoy these last 12 weeks here in Texas. Ima leave y'all with this quote that I've been pondering lately. "When you're involved in the work of the Lord, the power behind you is always greater than the obstacles before you." -Elder Dallon H. Oaks. We may never know the why to a situation, but let's not forget who's work this truly is. This is our Lords work & only he knows what's best for his children. Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me! Well family & friends, I hope y'all have a good week. Remember that the Lord loves you & that I love you </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="❤" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="2764" goomoji="2764" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/2764" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" />️</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> E holomua a paio mau no ka pono.

As most of you know, I've had stomach issues my entire life. The last 2 weeks have gotten really bad. None of the over the counter meds were working & my pain level was high. Well, our lovely mission nurse told us to go to an urgent care & as we were making our way over, she called back & said, "you know what? They're going to send you to the ER so, just go directly to the ER instead." Well, as obedient missionaries as we are, or strive to be, Sister Eddington & I made our way over to the ER. We informed both of our bishops & ward mission leaders. Long story short, all of the test that they ran came out great. I am perfectly healthy & they just couldn't seem to find out what is causing the pain. We ended up being there from about <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_735887472" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">1pm</span></span> till about <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_735887473" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:30pm</span></span>. At this point, I was so frustrated, tired & to be honest, all I really wanted was my mom & my dad, but that's not allowed on the mission. I said a silent prayer & not long after, one of our sweet Relief Society Presidents came walking in to the room. The first thing she says is, "why didn't you guys call me?" & we responded with, "we didn't wanna worry you?" Fact of the matter is, she stepped in to be the "mom" that I needed at that moment. We also received lots of love & support & a little worry, from our loving bishops & Ward mission leaders who stepped in to be the "fathers" that I needed. Never ever underestimate the Lords love for you. I have a personal witness that he is very much aware of each of his children. Don't ever doubt that! I'll come back to this at the end of my email. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I also have a testimony, that God knows the needs of those we teach as missionaries. I can testify to that by the many difference experiences that I've had, where the Spirit has directed me to help my lost brother or sister come back to him. Here's a great example for you. We got to meet with the sweet Sanchez family this past week. As my companion & I were preparing to teach them, I had a thought come into my head that the lesson we needed to teach had to be about faith. The reading assignment we left with them was Jacob chapter 1. At first I thought to myself, "how are we going to tie faith into this chapter?" Nevertheless, we did as we were told & prepared to teach them about faith. After we opened the lesson with a prayer, Jose (the father), explained to us that he had gone on to <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://LDS.org&source=gmail&ust=1491990687939000&usg=AFQjCNEW7SzFnJwjDgo06WJadLiD0zWCig" href="http://lds.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">LDS.org</a> & downloaded the Book of Mormon app. Then he thought, "well, I have it downloaded, I should do the reading assignment." Mind you, this guy doesn't read. He never liked reading & so, he never was going to do it on his own. Guess what? He ended up reading the scriptures </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😃" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f603" goomoji="1f603" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f603" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> such a huge miracle in itself. He also said that he's been listening to the "Christian" radio in the mornings, side note, he thinks it could be an lds station, anyways, while he was listing to the radio that morning, the radio guy was talking about faith. Particularly, the faith that Abraham had when he was commanded by God, to sacrifice his only son, whom he longed to have for such a long time. Jose went on to explain that having that faith in God is so important. He said that if we act on the faith or desire that we have, God will help us. Just like how he saved Issac from death & knew that Abraham was willing to do whatever the Lord commanded. It was such a powerful, Spirit driven lesson. Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ really does know the desires of our hearts. They know what we need & they also know how we can help those around up. If we are willing & if we ask, they will lead us & guides to those that we can help. Isn't that so awesome or what? </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> miracles are happening all around.</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Another tender mercy, was the fact that we finally got a text back from both Rocky's mom & also the Tyler girls parents. We finally were able to get in contact with them at set up appointments for this coming week. That was a blessing. Guess what? We also have 2 new investigators. Both come from part member families. Not only do I have a testimony of the fact that God knows & loves his children, but I also can testify that everything happens on his time & in his own unique way. One example comes from the Blaine family. They have been really sick lately, the flu has been going around their home & it seemed impossible to set up a good time & day for us to come over. We finally got to see Sister Blaine, (the mother), at church yesterday & so we asked her if she still would like us to teach her 9 year old son. She then said, "oh yes. Recently, he's been telling me, 'mom, I need to do my baptism, but not on my birthday'. He's been talking a lot about his baptism lately & so y'all need to come over." The faith & desire that this little boy has strengthened my testimony. Perfect example that God knows & loves his children & his timing is perfect timing. Reminds me of a quote from President Eyring, (one of the brethren from our church), which says, "although his time is not always our time, we can be sure that Lord keeps his promises." Also reminds me of one of my favorite scriptures found in the Book of Mormon, in 1 Nephi chapter 3 verse 7, when Nephi testifies that he knows that, "the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." Aren't we grateful for that promised blessing. The Lord will always provide a way for his work to be fulfilled. We may not know & we probably can't tell how or when he'll have us do something, but the question is, will we be ready? Will we be ready to do whatever he commands whenever he commands it? Definitely something I consider worth pondering </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🤔" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f914" goomoji="1f914" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f914" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">This week has yet again been a week full of miracles & bumpy rides. I need to share this cool analogy that my mom shared with me, this is a good one, especially for all y'all hula people. Like the scriptures say, this life is a time to prepare to meet God. We also know that their must be opposition in all things. Some may question this & say, "well why do I have to struggle?" Or "why do bad things happen to good people?" Well, I'll tell y'all something, I'm not perfect & I too have asked myself these exact questions. My mom helped me understand this by telling me this, "Opposition, challenges and difficulties help us rebuild our lives and become even better." (You think I would know that by now. Nope, still learning lol) anyways, she goes on to say, "Makes me think of 'ili'ili." For you none hula people, 'ili'ili are little rocks that the hula dancer use as an instrument to dance with. She continues by saying, "They (the 'ili'ili) start off as just regular pōhaku (rock), but as the waves hit and beat upon them they begin to change. With each wave the 'ili'ili becomes smoother, shinier and more and more beautiful. Until eventually, one day, the 'ōlapa (hula dancer) comes and is attracted by its Beauty, she picks it up and names it and makes it her hula instrument. The 'ili'ili comes alive and has a purpose. The beautiful Kani (sound) that makes the hula (dance) so attractive could only come because of the waves that reshaped and refined it. And such it is with life and with each of us. Let your trials reshape and refine you." Don't I have an awesome mom or what? </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🤗" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f917" goomoji="1f917" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f917" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> talk about inspired. This is so true! As we let our trials reshape & refine us, we will grow to have an even deeper conviction of the love that our Heavenly Father & Savior, Jesus Christ has for each of us. Like I said, never underestimate the Lords love for you. I testify that he does care & because he cares, you also matter. Yes, YOU matter to him! He has his arms stretched out & he's ready to help us. We just need to ask for it. "Ask & ye shall receive, knock & it shall be open unto you." I love you each of y'all so much!!!!! I invite each of us to take time this week, to remember the final moments of our Saviors life here on earth. Be grateful for the free gift & sacrifice that enables & allows ALL to return & live with him again. Ponder it, read it, study it. "As your understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ grows, your desire to share the gospel will increase. You will feel, as Lehi did, the “great … importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth” (2 Nephi 2:8)." Have a great week fam </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😘" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f618" goomoji="1f618" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f618" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> Until next week! </span></div>

When we finally went outside to go on exchanges, we found out that all the schools were closed & saw lots of random damage from the storm. Some neighborhoods were untouched, while others had roof damage & fences broken because of big trees that fell on them. It's was crazy. I'll tell you one thing, the maintenance workers (yard work crew) had plenty of work, that's for sure. I'm just grateful that despite the storm & minor damages, we were safe! The Lords servants are always protected while on his errand. I can surely testify of that. What a great blessing of peace & comfort to be able to know of this, first hand. Very grateful! </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Okay, on to the more spiritual parts of the week. We got to see the sweet Sanchez family. They are doing so well. We brought a member with us, (Valerie), who just got back from serving her mission, in the same mission where Jason (their son) is serving. Santiago, Chile. She was so perfect. They were very excited & happy to finally meet her, after hearing so much about her. She was able to connect with them very quickly & the fact that she speaks Spanish, was a huge blessing as well. We talked more about the role of the Holy Ghost & how to recognize it. It ended being a very powerful & Spirit driven lesson. We read Alma 32 with them and it struck a deep cord about needing to act and make changes when the seed is good. They are eager to change and draw nearer to the spirit, & they understand they are on the right track now. We committed them to watching Conference with us & guess what? Our Bishop & his sweet family, invited them over & they came. We were so happy that they finally acted on the feelings & promptings that they have felt. Later in the evening, we received a sweet text from them expressing how much fun they had with us, while watching Conference. They're slowly getting it & it's such a privilege to watch them grow in the gospel. They're countenance just shines & radiates Christ light & love. Keep praying for them please. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">We had a wonderful time at mutual. We got to help the young women with personal progress. It was really cool because, we got to get Addison, (one of our investigators), started on her personal progress. It was really fun & she just loves young women & the youth are so loving & kind to her & to each other. Once again, her eagerness & willingness to learn & grow is so amazing to see. Please continue to keep her & her sister in your prayers. Update on Kenny. He is doing much better. We got to watch a session of General Conference with him & he was a lot more happier & more of himself. The Spirit touches people in ways that we can't. I am grateful that I am worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost. As we've learned, specially from this weekend, the Holy Ghost is a gift, given to help us, teach us & guide us. The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit, testifies of truth & warns us of danger. I am so grateful that the Holy Ghost has been present, in lots of different occasions in my life. I'm especially grateful that the Spirit was able to touch Kenny & testify to him, that what he is being taught is true. Please continue to pray for him. We're going to start the lessons over with him from the beginning, to make sure he has a better understanding of the simple truths of the gospel. I thank you for your prayers on his behalf, because I know he feels them & I know they're being heard & answered. Thanks y'all!! </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

Ain't that a true statement! Our new investigators name is Alex. He is a friend of one of the youth in our ward. Alex is GOLDEN!!! Golden means that he is very much prepared. Long story short, he is agnostic, which basically means that he just has no religious background at all. We asked him why he wanted to meet with us & what his expectations are when meeting with us, & he began to tell us that he just had this urge & strong desire one day, to learn more about God or this "being" & he felt drawn to the Mormon religion. He later asked one of his friends at school (who was reading a Book of Mormon), if it was a good read, which later lead him to asking another friend, if he could to go to church with him & then he asked for a Book of Mormon. He's been coming to church ever since & loves reading the Book of Mormon. This kid is solid. As we taught him & with the help of the Spirit & his wonderful friend (who's a member, mind you), he was able to understand & feel something different. Before teaching him, he explained how he was attending another Christian church to study more about the Bible & he's attending our church to study the Book of Mormon. At the end of the lesson & because we used references from the Bible, he said, "you know what? After this week, because there is no church, next week, I'm coming to this church." I know that the only reason why he said that, was because he felt the Spirit testify truths to his heart. He had an open mind & a willing heart to hear the words of God & to feast upon it. It's just amazing. He also watched Conference & told us that he loved being able to hear & see the prophets. He's so great!!!!!! Keep him in your prayers too please </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😄" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f604" goomoji="1f604" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f604" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Well family, sorry for such a long email. So many good things are happening & thanks be to God for it. I want to leave you with my testimony, that Christ truly is at the head & in the center of this church. He has commanded us to follow him & be as he once was & is. He sees & knows our potential so let's work at it & strive to fulfill all that is required of us. No, we are not perfect & I sure am far from perfect, but hey, let's strive to be perfect in trying. We had such a blessed & wonderful opportunity to hear & have living prophets & apostles today. Chosen servants & special witnesses of Christ. Witnesses of his authority, his priesthood & his mission. What a blessing it is to be able to hear from them twice a year & to see the examples that they set for us. I testify that this church is true. I don't say it to just say words. I say it with conviction because I have gained a personal witness that the truths taught in this church are sacred & were restored by Jospeh Smith. He was & is the prophet of the restoration. He, through the love, grace & power of God, did what no other human being could do. He was persecuted & rejected by many who wouldn't believe & guess what? So was Christ. I know that God the father & his son Jesus Christ live. I have grown to love the gospel so much & I want all who are willing to partake to come & learn of the great blessings & eternal joys that this gospel brings. I am overwhelmed with gratitude, love & joy for my Savior, Jesus Christ, for my Father in Heaven & for all those who have been & continue to be such great examples to me. Both past & present brothers & sisters. Family & friends, today is the day that we get up, get out & continue to fight the good fight. Let us not forget, yes, there must be opposition in all things, but the powers of Heaven are much more rewarding & a lot more fulfilling. As reminded my our dear prophet, "Let us ever choose the harder right, then the easier wrong." I leave you my witness & of these things, in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

Went down to Venus to go & see our Sanchez family. Boy oh boy! They're just wonderful. We took a member with us & it was just wonderful. This member has a daughter that just got back from her mission & come to find out, she served in the same mission that Jason, (The Sanchez's son), is currently serving in now. Having someone that could speak Spanish to them was super awesome too. Sister Eddington & I both feel that the more members we expose them to, the better chance of them feeling comfortable & taking that big step & coming to church.

With all the crazy big meetings lately, we hadn't had a chance to have a district meeting till last week. All y'all need to know is, the meeting was powerful, as they usually are. We counseled about the things that we have changed in our efforts to find & teach as changes have been made recently. We also talked about things we've learned along the way & things that have worked for us thus far. It was really awesome to hear testimonies being borne of conversion & how they've adjusted to some changes. I definitely was edified. It was great! </span></div>

Oh, we got to meet with Kenny again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_66071727" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span>.

Pray for him please. He's been really down in the dumps lately. We got to have a really good, spirit directed, meeting with him. He opened up to us about some of his personal concerns & were truly grateful for that. It's sad to see those we love struggle, but sometimes we need to go through the struggle so we can more fully appreciate the happy times. Keep him close in your prayers please. </span></div>

We had a special dinner with cake & ice cream, to celebrate the 185 years of womanhood & sisterhood in the church. It was so fun! Did y'all just love the women's conference or what? I know I sure did. The messages were simple & powerful. They were all wonderful reminders to me that Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ know each of us personally by name. Perfect reminder to spend time & get to know our Lord & Savior more personally. Notice how most of what they talked about, isn't so new to us. After all, the gospel is based on basic principles. We need to find time, actually we need to make time for the Lord. "Take time to be holy." Man, it was such an awesome meeting. Super stoked for Conference this weekend.

All the talks & testimonies given were very touching & powerful. It seemed like every talk or testimony given, was an answer to not just my prayer but those around me. That's usually the case, but being able to recognize it gives it a whole different meaning. We got to meet a wonderful man who decided to come & attend our services, because he really wanted a Christian, Christ centered, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_66071731" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span>. He unfortunately, does not live in our area, but his example left a big impact on me. He had a desire, was willing & acted. Something so simple yet hard to do at times. Lately I've been trying to change up my prayers, instead of asking for help or faith to get through something, I've been asking for help to act on the faith that I've been given. Let me just say, asking for faith to act instead of just asking for faith, has been really cool. I've noticed that I've been more sensitive to the Spirit & I've learned, that if we don't have the courage to act, then we truly aren't exercising our faith either. After all, faith without works is dead. It's amazing to take the time to recognize we're we've fallen short & taking that small step forward to try & get back up. In the Book of Mormon, we read in Alma 37:6, "by small and simple things, are great things brought to pass." No, it's not an easy thing to do but it's </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">very worth it. In the end, all is required of us is that we try. Man, I love this gospel so much. My testimony is growing everyday & that's because I'm doing the little things. The little things really do make the biggest difference in our lives. I hope we all can be better at doing the little things. I pray that we each will make time for the Lord & the little things that he has asked of us. I know that as we do so, we each will become more converted & better disciples of him, in helping him carry out his work here on earth. I love each of y'all!!! Mahalo for all the loves, prayers, support & strength that you each give to me. Have a beautiful week friends & fam. Love y'all so very much. Until next week.....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> This week has been yet again, another busy & fast one. Where did week 65 even go? I have no idea. Last week Monday, we did the normal pday stuff. Clean, shop & prepare for the week. We spent most of the evening with the Hamilton family. Had an awesome dinner & got to continue teaching youth lessons to one of the youth. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_594714881" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>, we had an amazing zone Conference. Guess what? Yah girl & her cool comp gave a training at zone Conference. Talk about nervous!!! </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😳" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f633" goomoji="1f633" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f633" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> nevertheless, the Spirit was so very strong, thanks to those who gave training before us. A lot of what we talked about had to do with conversion & self reflection. Definitely felt edified & rejuvenated </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> We had dinner with the sweet Brinkerhoff family & guess who showed up? Mr. Wayne. One of our eternigators, I mean investigators </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😁" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f601" goomoji="1f601" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f601" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> We had a really good talk with him about his concerns. We came to a conclusion that we can not help him unless he truly wants the help. We're gonna continue to wait patiently & pray even more fervently for him. After dinner, we went on exchanged with one of our ward mission leaders. We got to visit a less active sister who is so sweet & is slowly working on coming back. We felt like she was thankful for our visit & even more thankful for the priesthood blessing that she received. It was so awesome & we're hoping to start working with her & helping her get back on track. </span></div>

Thank goodness I felt better later & we went on exchanges with one of our Sweet Ward missionaries. One of our appointments canceled but, we totally got to visit a less active family that is so sweet. We got to talk with them & share a Mormon message called "come what may & love it." It's mainly about our attitude & how we choose to be happy no matter what life throws at us. It was really good. After that, we went & got to see the Sanchez family. We had another great lesson with them & read from 2 Nephi 32. Where it's talking about what we like to call, our spiritual CPR. Which is, Church attendance, Praying & Reading the scriptures. We helped them understand the importance of each one & why it's necessary for our spiritual survival. It was a really good lesson! After that, we got to have a powerful lesson with the youth. We talked about the doctrine of Christ & basically regiving our training. This time around, we made it more applicable to them & where their at in life. At one point one of the youth gave a powerful comment about how they have the responsibility to open their months & share what they know with those around them. At that moment, I got just a small glimpse of how powerful this youth will be as a missionary in the gospel. It was so awesome!!!! </span></div>

We had the wonderful privilege of having Elder Rasband (from the quorum of the 12), Elder Hallstrom (presidency of the seventy), Bishop Causee (the presiding bishop), & Elder Willis (from the seventh). It was such a scared experience for me. We talked about so many amazing things. The main thing that I got out from the meeting was the importance of our personal commitment & conversion to the Lord. We talked about why it's important & how we can continue to build it & grow. A few other things that stood out to me was the fact that we as missionaries, hold the salvation of people in our hands. We have a big job & play a huge role in the conversion of those we come in contact with. We are prayed over more then anyone else in the church besides the prophet. We hold the keys & authority, through the 12, to make sacred promises to those we teach. We touched up on the atonement & Elder Hallstrom (who's from Hawaii), said that we will feel things that we did not hear, if we are willing to change. That was powerful. Elder Rasband talked about how we can better become more acquainted with or Savior Jesus Christ & Heavenly Father. One simple way is by asking them humbling, "Heavenly Father, what am I to learn from this experience?" That hit me in a different way. It helped me personally understand that yes, we fall short, but we also need to be changing & improving to truly become what we are meant to become. I could go on & on! Just know that it was edifying, powerful & uplifting for sure. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Well my dear family, I really do miss you all & I can't believe that my time is drawing near. Okay not really but kind of. I really want each of y'all to remember & know how special each of you are, not just to me but especially to our Savior, Jesus Christ & our Father in Heaven, who created us & who hold us so close to their hearts. Please don't ever forget the sacred experiences that you have had in your life or even on your missions. Yes, life gets hard & Satan is becoming ever more real, but guess what? We have access to divine help from on high. They don't want us on their side, but they need us on their side. Heavenly Father needs us to be his hands & needs us to help our brothers & sisters make it back to him. Here's a thought that we can all ponder, "does the testimony of Jesus Christ still burn in your bosom as it did when you were a young child, young missionary or even first converted?" Why did you join the church? Why are you still active in the church? What is your motivation to remain faithful? In the words of Elder Rasband, "if you need wood for your fire of your testimony, here it is, the more you know him, the more you will love him & the more you will be honored to serve him." Study his life. As you do so, it will come as an automatic. It will come naturally. We can all do it, we have a desire in us. Faith requires action. Let's put in the work so we can become more converted the the Lord & his gospel. I love each of y'all so much!!!! 114 days left to serve the Lord.....until next week my beauties!! </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😘" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f618" goomoji="1f618" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f618" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span></div>

For those of you who don't speak Hawaiian, I wanted to start off this week's email off with a little bit of Hawaiian. Before my mission, I was scared & thought that I was going to forget how to speak Hawaiian, but with the love of God, I didn't forget. Thankfully, I brought my Hawaiian Book of Mormon with me & it has strengthened both my Hawaiian language & also my knowledge of the gospel. It's just amazing! So, week 64 has been another great one. We are busier then ever in the Mansfield area. We are currently teaching 9 wonderful investigators & we have 2 possible new investigators & that we'll start teaching after Spring Break. It has been so fun & our days go by way too fast! "Working hard or hardly working?" </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🤔" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f914" goomoji="1f914" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f914" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> okay so, last week Monday, we had Zone pday at the Gallinis home & celebrated Elder Ainis birthday. That was fun! Later that evening, we got to meet with Rocky! Funny story, Sister Ellet, Rocky's mom, canceled the lesson about a hour before hand. We were at dinner & forget to tell our exchange (the bishops wife), that the lesson was canceled. Meanwhile, we finished dinner & saw that we got a text from Sister Ellet that says, "Never mind. Y'all can still come over <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_232722868" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tonight</span></span>. Sorry about the confusion." So, we headed to their place & to our surprise, we saw our Bishops wife there, helping Rocky with his home work. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, she works at Rocky's school as a teacher. Anyways, the Lord made us forget to tell our exchange that the lesson was canceled cause he knows the desire of Rockys heart. We started the lesson by trying to see how much he was taught & guess what? This kiddo ended up teaching us not just the first lesson but the 2nd & 3rd lesson as well. That was a huge miracle. The Lord sure works in mysterious ways. </span></div>

We taught them lesson 3, The Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was really great because, we got to help them understand way attending church is so important. Let me remind y'all, the whole idea of church is VERY new to them. They told us that they feel weird & out of place but they also just love the members & the feeling that he feel during sacrament. It's just a little odd & scary for them. We got them to committed to "maybe" attending church. That was better then a straight up no. Funny cuz, when I asked them, I told them to be honest & Maria (the mom) said no! Then she said something else in Spanish & the told us that she won't be here. Then she looks at her husband & her daughter & says, "you guys can still go." The desire is there! We just need to help them act on the desires that they have. We love them & we know that things will work out only on the Lords time.</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_232722870" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">, was a busy one. We got to meet with a sweet lady name Melissa. She is the mother of a sweet girl who just left to go on her mission. Long story short, her daughter was introduced to the church by a friend & started taking the discussions & not long after, her little sisters joined the church as well. Last month, she left on her mission & she is currently serving in LA at the visitors center. Now her mom Melissa, told us that she wants to know what her girls know. She wants what her girls want. She also wants to do scripture study once a week. We were so happy when she reached out to us and it's great cuz, she lives in the apartment complex next to us. She is so sweet and we're excited to start teaching her more often. Later that evening, we met with another part member family. We started teaching these sweet sisters, Addison & McKayla. It was wonderful & their excited to be taught. They already know so much. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

The blessings & the struggles, especially with the new change in our schedule. It was really good & we received super good insight & revelation. Oh & side note, when we did a role play, our Zone Leaders asked us to role play 4 of the 13 points that we need to go over during studies. Sister Eddington & I finished before everyone else & so our new Zone Leader, Elder Taylor goes, "If y'all finish all 13 before everyone else, I'll buy ice cream."

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Okay so, cool story, Elder Rasband will be coming to our mission <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_232722877" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> so that will be wonderful. I'll tell y'all all about it next week!!! In my studies I've been really trying to understand more about Jesus Christ & Heavenly Father. I've been really trying to study what our Saviors mission was & what our Fathers plan means to me. Forgive me for the long insight that I am going to share, practice patients y'all haha. Anyways, here it goes. We already know that Christ taught by example. He expects us to do as he did & be as he once was & is. Jesus was always about his fathers business. We should like Jesus, always be about our Heavenly Fathers business. Wait, what is our Heavenly Fathers business? Let's not forget that his work & his glory is to bring to pass the immortality & eternal life of man. He wants all of his children to return to him some day. What can we do to make it back to our Father? It all goes back to the basics. The gospel is based on simple & basic teachings. Remember, it's the little things that will make the biggest difference or the biggest change. We can do it! We can all fulfill our fathers business & return & live with him again. We have a perfect example. Christ set the path for us to be able to return to our Father. I am reminded of the scripture that talks about how there are many who draw near unto him with there lips but are far from him. I don't know about you, but I wanna make sure that I not only draw near unto him with my lips, but that I draw near unto him with my heart. We can accomplish this through our actions. The way we treat people, the way we live, the way we love, the way we give. We can make! We are enough & we have access to divine, unconditional love & guidance. Christ said, "what kind of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am." Don't get caught up in the ways of the world. Instead, get lost in the gospel. Get lost in service. Get lost in the scriptures. I wanna challenge y'all to make it more of a priority & realign our will, with the will of our Father. After all, he is the one who created us. He knows who we are & what we can become. We can always be about our fathers business. Don't give up!! Keep going!! & always, always, remember that Heaven is cheering you on. Today, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_232722878" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> & forever!

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Howdy my favorite people that I love!!! </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">How are y'all?? I really hope everyone's doing good. Shoot me an email sometime & let me know what's up. You know I wanna hear from each of you. So guess what? Transfers are this week. I can't believe how fast another 6 weeks flew on by. My time here in the field is going by way to quick. It's crazy! Oh & I guess I should probably let y'all know that I will be staying here in Mansfield with my lovely companion Sister Eddington. We couldn't have been anymore excited. There's so much work to be done & so many good things are happening here. I'm very excited for another awesome 6 weeks here in the more elect part of the Lords vineyard. Like I say every week, this place is truly prepared & the members are very much engaged in missionary work. It has been such a huge blessings to be able to serve here & work closely with everyone. It's just been amazing! So, week 63 went by in a blink of an eye. Last Monday, we got to have a lesson with the awesome Sanchez family. Guess what? They kept their commitments that we left with them & read from the Book of Mormon. It was so amazing because it really prepared them for the lesson that we were going to teach them. They ended up teaching us about the Plan of Salvation. It was such a huge blessing because, remind you, the whole idea of "church" is very knew to them. Praying, reading, studying, etc. It's all new. Seeing the desire that they have & the willingness to act on things is so awesome. The Lord is slowly but surely preparing them to receive his gospel because, they're humble & they truly desire to know the truth. Please continue to keep them in y'all's prayers.</span></div>

Sister Josephson came here with Sister Eddington, while I went to Euless with Sister Brohamer. Oh boy! We had way too much fun. It was awesome!!! It was super fun to be companions again for a day. We got to stop in at 'Ana's Island Grill (of course) & yes I had to get my poly food fix </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😍" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60d" goomoji="1f60d" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60d" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> man! That was bomb!!! Then we did lots of finding. Their main reason was, "well, your poly & maybe if they see any other poly they'll let us in haha". Well it worked! We got to see lots of people. It was great! We went & talked to this one unko, who ended up telling us his whole life story & we later figured out that he was just stalling so that the people that live there would eventually come home & have to talk to us haha. Man! That unko was my favorite. He was so crazy & funny, but also had a very strong testimony of the gospel & how it's blessed him & his family. It was fun! We got to have dinner with the Vakalahi family. The same family that we went & had a lesson with the last time I went on exchanges. It was fun to see familiar faces. So funny cuz, Sister Vakalahi said, "I call you Moana (from princess moana) cuz you remind me of her." She's so cute haha! Dinner ended up finishing late & so we stopped in at the church for a bit & I got to see sweet Sister Ahau (Aunty Nala) again! That was fun!!! I just love Euless! & I love my sweet sister training leaders as well. It was yet again another awesome exchange & learning experience. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

Then we found out that district Meeting was canceled due to a sick companionship in our district. It ended up working out great cuz I ended up getting really sick too. That wasn't fun at all! </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">We got to go on exchanges again after dinner though with our bishops wife & that was great. We did a "sneak attack" on Rocky & his mom cuz they've been canceling appointments. We got to get in & set up a better time with him & so please pray that we'll be able to see him tonight & that they won't cancel. Rocky really wants to be taught but it's hard with his schedule & the health of his mother. We know it's just one of Satan's little obstacles that we just have to plow through. I know we can do it. Our Bishop's wife is the best. She also later, set up an appointment with another part member family so we can start teaching their girls who come to mutual. We're definitely looking forward to that. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1395770090" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span>, we had our weekly planning session & those are always great. We got to teach the little activity day girls later that evening, about sharing their talents & I got to teach them some hula. Oh man! We had so much fun. They're just the cutest little future missionaries. After that, we had another powerful Preach My Gospel class with the youth. It was so Spirit driven. We taught out of chapter 2 specifically on how we learn by the Holy Ghost & on how we need to be living what we learn. After we did a role play with them, we had each person go around the room & tell us when was the last time that they've felt the closest to our Heavenly Father. It was such a powerful experience to be able to hear these youth bare testimony of specific times in their own lives, where they've felt the closest to the Lord. It was very touching & the Spirit was so strong. I love the youth so much!!! They truly are the rising generation & the elect! </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

It was a perfect day & weather was nice. We weren't able to catch anyone but the main thing is we tried </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😌" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60c" goomoji="1f60c" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60c" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> We also got to do some service at the Wesley Mission Center. We just absolutely love those volunteers who work there. They're always so happy to see us & always greet us with such warm, big hugs & beautiful smiling faces. We really do feel their love & they always tells us how much they appreciate our service & miss us when we don't come. It reminded me of the fact that, we truly can make a big difference or impact in the lives of those around us. It's easy for our "natural man" or Satan to say "ugh! I'm not good enough" or "I'm not making a difference" but, as we remember, the natural man is an enemy to God. We are good enough & we can make a difference. I know that y'all probably do it everyday & don't even realize it. It's easy to focus on the negative but when we focus on the positive, the Lord will humble us & help us see that we are doing good. Crazy right?! Something so simple yet so hard to do. We had another awesome lesson with Kenny!!! We love him so much.<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1395770092" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span>, after studies, we spent the day inside cuz my poor companion got very sick </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😷" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f637" goomoji="1f637" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f637" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> This really is the season of sickness. She thankful got better later that evening. We got to have dinner with our favorite Francom family. One of the many 'ohana's who truly just feel like our own 'ohana. We're grateful for families like them who allow their home to be a "safe place" for the missionaries. I know I mentioned this before but it's really a blessing to be able to have a "safe place" to go. Anyways, after dinner & as we were waiting for dessert to be made </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😋" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60b" goomoji="1f60b" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60b" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> we played this really funny game called "watch ya mouth" (idk how you spell it) but let me just tell you, that is a HILARIOUS game!!! </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😂" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f602" goomoji="1f602" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f602" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Let's just say that I almost died from laughing so hard.

I love fast Sundays. It's truly a time to fast, pray & reflect on the week & for me, it's a time for me to strengthen my vision & my relationship with my Savior & Father in Heaven. During sacrament, we heard beautiful testimonies of the tender mercies of the Lord. It was so great to hear how people have taken time throughout their lives, to recognize the hand of the Lord in their own lives. We heard testimonies of the power & authority of the priesthood. About how the priesthood has blessed someone's life & how the power truly comes to those who remain worthy of it. Yes we fall short at times, but through the atonement & the power of repentance, we can & will be worthy of the blessings & miracles that come from living the gospel, exercising the priesthood (for priesthood holders), supporting the priesthood & remaining worthy of the love & guidance of our Savior & our Father. I can't even begin to tell you all of the miracles & blessings that I have been able to receive from being a member of this church. I do want y'all to know that it has been such a humbling experience to be able to take the time to be more appreciative of the little things both good & bad. I've learned & continue to learn that our attitude has a lot to do with this very thing. We have to make a decision to be more happier & more thankful for all of the little things that touch us in our lives. After all, all things truly come from a loving Heavenly Father who longs for us to be happy in this life & in the life to come. We need to be willing, patient, humble, submissive & ready to act & work. Kenny reminded me of this very thing when he brought up the scripture about how faith without works is dead. If we expect our faith to be strong, we need to put in that effort. Remember who's on our side & who's cheering us on today, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1395770094" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> & forever! Gods love & power triumphs any of Satan's evil little tricks. Don't give in & don't give up! Christ said not observe my gospel, but to live my gospel. He needs us to be living what we preach. Take the time & recommit today to try a little harder & be a little bolder. You can do it! I testify that as we do it, we will be that much closer to reaching our goal of truly becoming what our Heavenly Father wants us to become. </span></div>

I hope y'all had an amazing week. Another week has flown on by. Week 62 came & went real quick. I continue to see the hand of the Lord in my everyday life & that has been such a sacred & humbling experiences for me. Even the little things. Here's how the week went, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_389162681" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span>, we had a really nice & relaxing pday. Spent it deep cleaning our apartment for inspections & let me just say, I actually enjoyed it.

Anyways, we had another awesome visit with the Sanchez family. I love this family so much!!!! We showed up at their house & they made us dinner. I love me some authentic Mexican food </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😋" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60b" goomoji="1f60b" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60b" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> it was so bomb!!! We then watched a little video about the Plan of Salvation with them & we had them commit to reading from the Book of Mormon. They agreed to do so & we'll find out <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_389162682" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tonight</span></span> if they've kept their commitment. This whole idea of "church" is totally new to them so please keep them in y'all's prayers! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_389162683" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>, I didn't feel so great again...lame.

It was so awesome as most of our meetings are. We talked about the importance of goal setting & planning & how it will help us to continue to find & teach more effectively. We also talked about the power of prayer & how we need to be better alert & paying more attention to the promptings & revelations that we receive from the Lord. I can tell you first hand that it has been a huge miracle in my life. You should try it sometime. You'll definitely be a lot more sensitive to the Spirit & you'll be able to recognize it more frequently. It's really amazing. It builds your relationship with Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ & that alone is a huge blessing itself. Later that evening, Rockys mum canceled our meeting </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😕" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f615" goomoji="1f615" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f615" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">please keep that kiddo & his mum in your prayers. We decided that we're just gonna "sneak attack" them next week, that way, there is no excuse. We miss meeting with him & he always asks our bishops wife when we're gonna come back. We know that it's just one of Satan's obstacles that we have to push through. Not giving up on him! We spent the rest of the evening with our favorite youth in Mansfield. Guess what? We may have a new investigator!! So this kid Cade, (one of the young men), brought a friend with him to mutual. His name is Alex. Well, Cade asked us where he could find a Book of Mormon & so Sister Eddington & I said, "we got one. Who wants it?" He introduced us to Alex & as we talked he told us that he saw a friend reading the Book of Mormon, & his friend told him it was a good read & now he wants to read it. I know, I'm shocked too. We then told him that our job as full time missionaries is to teach people about the Book of Mormon. We're keeping him close to us cuz this kid is very interested & receptive. He even came to church yesterday! That was awesome. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

It was a good one. Went by too quick for sure. We got to spend some time visiting with the sweet Reed family. That was an awesome visit. We had dinner with a family who has a powerful conversion story. They've only been members for about a year now & they joined the church because their daughter first joined the church. It just goes to show that the youth & young adults really do have a powerful impact on those around them. Ask me about their story sometime & I'll be happy to tell you all about them </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_389162686" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span>, we went to Denton for Sister Eddington's doctor appointment. We call them "field trips" haha. We had another powerful lesson with Kenny!! We absolutely love this guy. We taught him about the gospel of Jesus Christ & his whole countenance is just changing. It was very helpful to have members present during the lesson, cuz they were able to bare testimony about how the gospel has blessed their own lives & shared experiences with Kenny that helped him to understand more clearly. Mansfield is so prepared! All we do is show up & teach. The members are so involved & so engaged in missionary work. It's really powerful & strengthens my testimony a lot. It makes the missionaries job so much more fun & less stressful lol. I love Mansfield!!! </span></div>

We had lunch with the Mills. Love them so much!!! We had a lesson with Alex about service & why it's important to constantly be engaged in service.

Such a sweet day for sure! Michael's baptism was filled with so many people who loved him. There were over 50 people there who came out to support him on his special day. Even Kenny came to witness & the Spirit was so strong during the program. You could definitely feel the love of our Heavenly Father, present that day. I especially felt it when we sang the closing him "families can be together forever." Such a simple yet powerful reminder to me of the importance of eternal families. As I looked around the room, little kiddos & their parents & even older people, sang with their hearts & you could just feel this out pour of love & gratitude for the wonderful blessings & knowledge of the gospel. It really made an impact on me. It was a sweet day! We had a good <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_389162688" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> as we always do.

Another big impact was made on me. Their testimonies & knowledge of the gospel is so powerful. They're not afraid to be bold & speak up about what they know to be true. It was such a cool experience. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">We ended the night with a sweet lesson with one of the youth. We started offering individual lessons to the youth, to help them be better prepared to share the gospel & it was been such a blessing to see the desire & light that they have in their eyes. They really are the rising generation & it's our job to nurture, love, guide & help the youth to be able to have unshaken faith & testimonies. I wanna leave you with my testimony of working with youth. It has been such a blessing to be able to work closely with the youth. They're faced with so much craziness in the world & to see these youth stand up for the gospel & fight for the right, has been such an amazing thing to witness. It has strengthen my testimony so much & they're going to be such powerful leaders of the church. Reach out to our youth, love our youth, spend time with our youth. As we do so, we'll be able to touch their lives & they'll do the same in our lives. I love y'all!!!! Hope y'all have an amazing week!!! Be safe!!!! Thanks for your love.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">After pday ended, we got to see the sweet Sanchez family. Oh my gosh!!! Thanks to your prayers, they are progressing so well. Still don't have a baptism date but they are coming along so good. We ended up watching the 20 minute video of the restoration with them & they loved it so much. During the video, the phone started ringing right when the most important part of the video was being shown. Sister Eddington & I both looked at each other with the thought that someone would get up, miss the scene & answer the phone. To our amazement, no one even moved & the Spirit was just so strong. As we talked with them about the video & all that they've learned so far, they opened us to us & said, "when y'all don't come, we feel this void. We're constantly thinking about y'all & wanting y'all to come back & teach us more. It's like we're craving to learn more." For Sister Eddington & I, that was something so very powerful. We could feel the Spirit so strong & their desire to continue to feast upon the words of Christ & learn is so there. Slowly but surely, their lives are continuing to be touched because they have a desire. They have an open heart & an open mind. Such a simple yet powerful example of the blessings that come when we open up our hearts & minds to the Lord. </span></div>

We watched a really amazing training & got to see a couple new converts who are now serving missions & we got to hear their amazing conversion stories. There is lots of potential when we as missionaries work close with the young people & the youth of today. It's funny because all of my converts, expect for two, are all between the ages of 18-9 & their all very strong in the gospel still. The rising generation is such a powerful generation. Love them & their strong spirits. Okay, so here's where things get chaotic but miracles come. As we were driving home, we decided to take the back roads (which put us in the middle of nowhere) but we loved it because we saved lots of miles. Well, we took a turn on a narrow road & ended up a little bit off the road & then we heard "POP". We pulled over to see that our tire went flat </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😒" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f612" goomoji="1f612" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f612" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">lame! It was super cold that day & so I was not about to change the tire. We immediately tried calling our zone leaders, then the vehicle elders but no one was answering. So we did what knew best, we got in the car & said a little prayer & not even a minute later, a nice man name Arnold came out of nowhere, asking us if we needed help. He said, "y'all get in the car. It's cold out here. I'll fix it for you!" It sure was a blessing in disguise. Thanks to Arnold, we were able to make it safely to firestone. Thank goodness we're friends with some of the workers there so they knew who we were & they got us all taken cared of. Miracle! The Lord is protecting his servants in his vineyard. I have no doubt about that! </span></div>

We're so excited for him & his family. Earlier in the morning, his parents will be going to the temple for the first time for their endowment. It will be a very special day! Okay so, here's where things get a little chaotic again but miracles still come. So, we were trying really hard to be obedient missionaries & the interview went a little later then we thought. Well, we hoped in our car & drove home hoping to be home on time. Right went we pulled in to our apartment complex, a cop pulls up behind us & turns his lights on. For those of you who know me, I've never gotten pulled over before so yeah, I was small kine freaking out. Panic attack real quick. Anyways, this nice officer comes & asks for my license & registration & so I give it to him, shaking & all. He sees that I'm from Hawaii & asks me why I'm here in Texas (small talk). Then he tells me about how he was stationed in Kaneohe & how everyone calls him "hapa haole" (while I'm still having a panic attack). Then he asks for our insurance, well, guess what? It was no where in the car. We turned the car upside down looking for it & it was no where. At this point, mind you, I'm at the point where my frustration is turning into tears & that's not pretty at all. We immediately started calling our vehicle elder, like 20 million times, & no answer. Thank goodness our zone leaders didn't go to far & came to help us try & find the insurance card. Poor officer could see & feel my panic & in the end, he even tried helping us find the card. Well, the card was no where to be found & so he started taking down my info. In my head I was being dramatic & thinking of all the worst things possible when he finally looked at me & said, "you know what? I see the sad face. You live here right? I'm gonna erase your information & let you just go home. It's late. Just make sure you have that insurance card in your car okay?!" MIRACLE!!!!! So we go home & about </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_831060045" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">20 minutes later</span></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> there's a knock at the door & we here "Mansfield police." So we're thinking, "what now?!" Then I open the door & the nice officer hands me my license. He apologized for taking so long & he explained how he erased my info. How did find our exact apartment? Who knows. All I know is that the Lord watches over those who labors on his vineyard. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

Then later that night, we had an awesome Preach My Gospel lesson with the youth. We talked about the Book of Mormon & how it can help us answer the questions of the soul. We did a role play on sharing the Book of Mormon with a friend & that was a powerful sight to see. All these youth bore testimony & explained to their friend why the Book of Mormon is so important to them. After the role play, we had then use their social media & post or text a favorite scripture from the Book of Mormon. Our recent convert Brandon, was so pumped & told everyone, "Ima tweet mine. I'll retweet yours if you'll retweet mine. Let's all tweet it!" He's the best kid ever. He is such a good example to me & so many. Love that kiddo!!! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_831060047" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span>, we had a powerful lesson with Kenny. It was very helpful to have a recent convert sit in & share her testimony as well. We taught him about the Word of Wisdom & as we committed him to live it, he willingly accepted to live it & he just had this big smile on his face. We watched the children's bible video about baptism & he loved it. We set a date with him for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_831060048" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">April 15th</span></span>. We even went & showed him the font & his face just lit up. It was so humbling to witness & see his whole countenance change. He's very eager & is progressing so well. Thanks fam for keeping him in y'all's prayers. We love him & we love y'all!! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_831060049" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span>, we got to do service for the Mansfield community. We helped set up for their auction/party fundraiser thing. I forgot what the exact name of it was but nonetheless, it was fun! </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🤗" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f917" goomoji="1f917" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f917" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> we ended the night on such a spiritual note. We went & stopped in at the Waldmann home. This home is one of the many homes where we feel safe & where it feels like home for us. I think that it's so important for missionaries to have that safe, "home a way from home" feel. I'm glad that my home was just that to the missionaries & still is. Anyways, we had a wonderful time with them. As apart of the lesson, we as a family, sang "love one another" then we each went around the room & said one thing that we love about the person sitting next to us. Such a simple but powerful lesson. The Spirit was so strong & as we were leaving, Sister Waldmann's husband, (who's basically a dry Mormon), opened up & said "our home is always open to y'all at anytime. Come over anytime!" That was humbling & so touching to see & feel the Spirit so strongly.</span></div>

Like I say all the time, I love covering 2 wards. Mansfield is such an awesome area with lots of potential. In both wards, the speakers spoke about missionary work & mainly how it's each & everyone of our responsibility to open our mouths, push a little harder & invite. Be a good example & share. It was so powerful. I love Sundays because it gives me a chance to reflect on the week & no mater how chaotic or hectic or crazy life gets, Heavenly Father never fails at helping me remember the little things. After all, it's all about the little things. Let's take the time to be a little bit more aware of those around us. We never know what someone else is going through & we'll never understand their exact pain, but we all know of someone who understands perfectly, & that is our brother, our loving Savior, Jesus Christ. Take the time to get to know him a little better. Like I've said before, spend time with, cause he wants to spend time with you. I testify that as we do, our hearts will change. We will become even that much more closer to him & we'll be that much more sensitive, to the promptings of the spirit. We'll also be that much more willing & ready to act on whatever promptings we receive. I continue to see this not just in my life but also in the lives of who we come in contact with each day here in Texas. Family, don't forgot that I love each & everyone of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, support, prayers, emails, letters, care packages, etc. I'm humbled every time I receive a sweet email or a kind letter. I love each of you so much!!!! More importantly, our Savior & our Father loves each of you even more. I hope y'all have a wonderful week full of lots of miracles.

I am reminded, time & time again that we need to have trials & hard times so that we can learn to embrace & more fully appreciate the good. Hard times help us grow, they help us love. Speaking of love, since it's Valentine's Day <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1220293010" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>, (not one of my favorite holidays cause, it should be everyday </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🤗" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f917" goomoji="1f917" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f917" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">) anyways, since it's the month of love, I'm gonna change things up. Today, I wanna share with y'all, different examples, where I've seen the love of Christ in not just my life, but in the lives of the people here in Mansfield. Especially over the week. In case you forgot, Jesus loves you! Remember, he died because he loves you! He wants you to be happy. Don't be sad, be glad. Find reasons to laugh, find reasons to cry, find reasons to have joy & find reasons to love. Love him, because he first loved you! </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">This first example comes from a boy name Rocky. He is an awesome kiddo that we got to meet last week, after not being able to get a hold of him for a while. We stopped by his home</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1220293011" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204 , 204 , 204); font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">with our Bishop's wife, who is a teacher at Rocky's school. He absolutely adores her. On our way over to meet him, our Bishop's wife explained to us that Rocky has been struggling a little bit. It's just him & his mom & now he's growing up & maybe hanging out with the wrong crowd. When we knocked on his door & he opened it, his face was not the face that I was expecting. His eyes lit up & he was just filled with so much happiness & love. As we continued to talk, his mom said, "I was just about to contact y'all because Rocky has been asking for y'all to come & baptize him." Talk about perfect timing. The Lord's timing is so great. As we got to know them a little more, you could just feel the room begin to fill with so much love & happiness. This little 12 year old was a sweet example to me. The Lord's love can be shown even in the hardest situations. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Next short, but sweet example comes from Kenny. He's so awesome! We met with him & we prepared to teach him the law of chastity. A lesson that can be a little awkward. Anyways, during the lesson, he was just absorbing everything like a sponge. We read with him a part from the pamphlet that says, "regardless of what you have done in the past, great blessings will come if you repent & commit now to live the law of chastity." When he heard that, he looked at us & was filled with so much love. It was a perfect reminder that we have a loving Heavenly Father who gives us multiple chances to try again. How grateful am I for that. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

After receiving his priesthood a few weeks ago, we got to see him prepare the sacrament. You could just see this light about him. When we talked to him after sacrament, he was filled with so much love. He couldn't stop saying how awesome that experience was. It was so great! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Next humbling example comes from Alex. We love him & his wife so very much! We got to go to the mission President Fireside with them last night. After the fireside, Alex & Wayne (our other investigator who also came) started talking. Next thing we hear is Alex baring testimony to Wayne of how he felt when he joined the church. He explained to Wayne that we call everyone "brother" & "sister" because we really are all brothers & sisters. Wayne never realized that until Alex explained it to him. It was a very powerful moment to see our recent convert, love, help & encourage our investigator as he takes a big leap of faith. Alex was filled with so much love. Funny part is, on our way home, I commended him for what he did & he said, "I was just talking." That's what it should be. We should just talk. Open our mouths cause we never know who might need to hear what we have to say. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"> Next & final example comes from Wayne. Long story short, he has been investigating since the 1980's. His first missionaries are now 50 years olds. The day of his lesson was a little bit crazy. I wasn't feeling good & Sister Eddington received a distracting letter & the both of us were praying for extra help from on high, & let me tell you, the Lord prepares you before you even know it. As we met with Wayne & as he was explaining to us some of his concerns & frustrations, I had a distinct prompting to set a date with him. Well, I told him "can we set a date with you?" & he said, "No! You think I've been asked that question before?" Then as he kept talking, I turned to Sister Edddington & said, "Sister, we need to set a date. Right now!" Meanwhile, from Sister Eddingtons point of view, she had been praying because, she too had a distinct impression to set a date with Wayne. So, as she was scrolling through her calendar, Wayne then said, "I've been really thinking about this. I've wanted to get baptized since last November, but things keep coming up & getting in the way. My son & grandson are only together on the 1st & 3rd saturdays of the month." At that very moment, Sister Eddington felt prompted to put his name down for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1220293013" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">March 4th</span></span>, keeping in mind that she could always just move the date. Well, Wayne then went on to say, "I've even looked at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1220293014" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">March 4th</span></span>, but the Stake family history activity is on that day." As soon as he said that, we both looked at each other & Sister Eddington showed him & explained to him what just happened. We explained to him that we would love to have a baptism in the evening & that this is coming directly from the Lord. We promised him that we would do everything & anything in our power to help him get there. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1220293015" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Sunday</span></span>, he officially made up his mind & told Bishop that he can now announce it over the pulpit. We still are asking everyone for extra prayers. This was a huge example to me of the love the he has for the Lord & for the love that Lord has for him. If we are faithful & have a desire to do the right, the Lord will make it possible. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Family & friends, this work is the Lord's work. I testify that as we continue to be obedient & try, even just a little bit, that the Lord truly will make up the difference. He is preparing people & we as missionaries are merely his hands, his tools, his instruments in his work. I'm honored to be part of such sacred work. I know that people struggle. Things happen. Life is unfair & things never go the way that we want it to go. People change, kids grow up, friends move away & loved ones die unexpectedly. Let's not forget that we have a loving Father in Heavenly & he has a plan. A plan called the Plan of Salvation, The Plan of Happiness (learn more on <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://LDS.org&source=gmail&ust=1487106987006000&usg=AFQjCNGdVB4HkDeDu6uO65C4q0JWZoOOMg" href="http://lds.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">LDS.org</a>). He wants us to be happy. I heard someone explain the difference between healing the body & healing the soul he said, "when we heal the body, it's always an inward effort, always paying attention to ourself. When we heal the soul turning inward doesn't work. When we want to heal the soul, we need to turn outward." It's my prayer that we each take some time to heal our souls by finding ways to lift those around us. Turn outward. I promise & I can testify that a greater light will shine & fill your broken hearts as you do so. You'll be filled with love. Not just for those whom you lift, but a greater love for our Savior will come. I love y'all!!!

Last week Monday we had an awesome lesson with Brandon. We talked about family history & we watched a really cool "member experience" video about their experience with doing family history. Brandon just loved it & he's so ready to get his family history started. That kid just continues to amaze me. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1723248355" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>, I woke up with a fever </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="🤒" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f912" goomoji="1f912" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f912" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> that wasn't fun at all.

It was yet again a another good one. We talked about the doctrine of Christ & how it's important for us to understand it first before we go out & teach it to others. The doctrine of Christ is simple, it's faith in the Jesus Christ & his atonement, repentance, baptism (sacrament), receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. I read a talk given by Brian Ashton, a member from the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1723248357" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> school General Presidency, & he said, "the doctrine of Christ allows us to access the spiritual power that will lift us from our current spiritual state to a state where we can become perfected." I thought that was kind of cool. It all goes back to our agency. Growing up in the church, we are taught correct principles but in the end, we have to learn how to govern for ourselves so that we can choose to become perfected like our Savior, Jesus Christ & our Heavenly Father. I love that thought.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">After district meeting, we found out the hard way, that Sister Eddington is allergic to raw tomatoes. Poor girl got sick & we had to take time for her to feel better. Thank goodness it wasn't too bad. We had dinner with the sweet Walter family. They live far out in the middle of nowhere & I just love it. After dinner, we went to mutual & helped 1st Ward with their young women's activity. The theme was faith & the activity was cool. We had each girl come in the room, blind folded. 2 young women were already in the room & they had to try & get those who were coming in, distracted & get them to follow them & not the still small voice of Sister Eddington & I. 2 of the young women almost gave in to the sound of the crowd while the others were steadfast & had faith in the still small voice. That simple activity reminded me of how easy it is for us to follow the loud noise of the world & simply walk away from that still small loving voice. Everyday we really are exercising our faith to make sure that it's the still small voice that were following & not the noise of the world. We also got to bare our testimonies as part of 2nd wards young women activity. They had a bon fire going & talked about how our testimonies are like a fire. It starts off small but as we continue to add wood & more things to the fire, then it grows to a big burning flame that will be unshaken. That was a powerful reminder as well to always have our testimonies burning like fire. Super awesome!!! </span></div>

We had an awesome Preach My Gospel lesson with the youth. We talked about the power and authority that we as missionaries have to teach the restored gospel. We asked the youth why it's important for us to teach with "power & authority" & they likened it to the prophets of old. Each prophet that was called of God to preach his gospel, taught with power & authority. One youth brought up the scripture found in Alma 17 that talks about how the Sons of Mosiah taught with power & authority. It was a tender mercy for me & a simple testimony builder of how sacred this calling is. We as missionaries have a sacred calling that allows us to have divine help from on high. Such a powerful thing to think about. Especially when things get hard & don't always go the way we intend. That's when we should be calling & relying on Heaven even more. The youth are amazing & I commend them for their courage, strength & faith. I love having the opportunity to work closely with them. </span></div>

Michael & Kenny came to church. It's so awesome to see how the Lord will not give us a commandment that we can not keep. When we first started teaching Kenny, it was difficult for him to attend church cuz he worked every Sundays. but as I mentioned in my last weeks email, he now has Sundays off. I know that the only reason why this great blessing happened, was because of Kenny's desire. He had a desire to attend church, so he put in the effort & did what he needed to do & the Lord made up the difference. Isn't that amazing? All that is required of us is that we try. That's all he asks. I know that this is true. As we do the little things & make changes in our lives to live more righteously, the Lord will bless us abundantly & he will make up the difference. We just need to be doing our part. Make our will, his will. Love y'all so very much!!!!

We had a question & answer at the end & it was so powerful to hear their testimonies, of how they want to go on missions & why they want to go on missions. You never know how much of an impact you can make on someone. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Earlier in the week, we got a text from our investigator Kenny. He reached out to us & told us that he wanted to meet </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😃" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f603" goomoji="1f603" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f603" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> we were so excited. We met with him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1409502345" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> night. Sister Eddington & I planned on teaching him The Plan of Salvation but, we both felt like we needed to go back & review things so, we decided to change the plans & review the restoration. Well, when we started our lesson, Kenny opened up to us & told us about how his uncle passed away earlier that day. My companion & I looked at each other & we both felt impressed to go back to our initial plan. We watched a little video called, "the Plan of salvation". It was super powerful cuz after the video, Kenny looked at us & said, "you know, it's funny that you showed me this, cuz I already knew it." The Spirit was so strong in the room. Sister Eddington & I both had distinct Impressions to set a date with him. My first thought was, "no ways. He's not thinking about baptism, poor guy is grieving." Then we both heard the Spirit say, "be still!" As we did, we looked at Kenny & with a big smile on his face, he said, "I wanna get baptized!" Talk about listening to the Spirit. We were over joyed! He also told us that he now has Fridays & Sundays off, which means he can now attend church. We're so happy for him. We know that the only reason why this is happening is cuz, he's doing the little things. He's reading, he's praying & soon he'll be attending church more frequently. That was an awesome experience for sure. </span></div>

We also had slight changes in our daily schedule & key indicators, that will allow us to use our agency more often. This approach will benefit us not just now, but especially when we finish the mission & return home. We'll be developing habits on our missions, that we will take for the rest of our lives.

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">We went over & taught Alex that night, about eternal marriage & families. We watched a Mormon message called, "expressions of love" & we also talked about how family is so important. It was very powerful so see his sweet wife, bear testimony on how much the gospel truly does bless families & how much it's blessed her family. We got them started on doing family home evening together too. It was so awesome & I just continue to be in awe of how well he's progressing. Love them!!!!

Funny story, what had happen was, I was not paying attention (as I was holding one end of the fence), & when Alex finished cutting his end, he lost grip of the fence & next thing I see is blood tripping down my face. The look on his face was priceless. He felt so bad!!!! Don't worry mum, after we cleaned it up, we looked at it & it's a tiny little cut on my forehead that looks like a pimple.

In 1st Ward, our discussion for class was on how important the little things are. Reminded me of a scripture found in Alma 37, "by small & simple thing, are great things brought to pass." This scripture is so on point. The little things that we do will bring forth huge amount of blessings. The simple example of one person will impact another persons life for eternity. We just never know. It was a super great discussions. In 2nd Ward, we had 3 wonderful young ladies give their farewell talks. The chapel was full of family, friends & loved ones who came to support these 3 amazing girls. They each bore unique testimonies on why they want to serve missions & how they each received different impressions that they should go. Watching them defend the gospel, & seeing & feeling their joy of the gospel, touched my heart so much. They will leave behind their homes, families, schooling, relationships, jobs, careers & all that they know & love, & will take a big leap of faith by going somewhere unfamiliar & maybe even far away. Yes it will be scary & yes times will be hard, but our Savior will be right by their side every step of the way. Bishop spoke for a little bit & talked about how they should never forget the love of so many who will be praying for them & cheering them on everyday. His hope is that the 3 sweet sisters will feel the love on their missions especially when times are hard. I want each of you to know that I know that the 3 girls will definitely feel the love that their ward family & eternal family has for them cuz I've felt each of your love & prayers on my mission. A mission is not easy work but it is worth it. I've never been so happy & filled with joy, but torn & broken all at the same time. It's a roller coaster for sure & I wouldn't trade it for the world. I've come to know my Savior on a more personal level. The Spirit continues to teach me as I get out of the way & let him in. Each of you can know & feel this same thing. I challenge you (like I've had before), to get to know your Savior. I've you think you know him, think again. There's always so much more to learn & love. I love each of you so much!!!

It's okay though cuz, if we never have the bad, we can never fully appreciate the good </span><span style="font-family: ".AppleColorEmojiUI"; font-size: 17pt;"><img alt="😊" class="CToWUd" data-goomoji="1f60a" goomoji="1f60a" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/e/1f60a" style="margin: 0px 0.2ex; max-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle;" /></span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"> the week started off on a good note with 2 lessons with Brandon. I love that kid!!!! We taught him about priesthood & watched a powerful Mormon message called, "sanctify yourselves." We talked about the power of the priesthood & helped him to prepare to receive his priesthood. As we were teaching him, you could just see his excitement & readiness to receive his priesthood so that he can attend the temple. It's so amazing to see him grow in the gospel & just absorb all the goodness like a sponge. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_989586586" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span>, we had yet again another powerful district meeting. We talked about how much of an affect working with ward members really has. We talked about the Spirit that the youth have & how bold they've been in bringing their friends to church. We decided as a district to make a goal to work more closely with the youth & to do everything we can to prepare them for life & maybe even a mission one day. After dinner, our appointment canceled, so we immediately put our ideas to work & went to mutual. We bonded with the young women & connected with them immediately. We also got to meet with both of our Bishops & they were very much on board with our plans to work with the youth. Everything just fell into place. It was great.</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

Felt like we were on a road trip that I've never been on haha. Yeah talk about 3 hangry (hungry & angry) young women. Lots of estrogen. It was still fun though haha. </span></div>

I love baptisms & the Spirit that just fills the room. It's such an amazing thing to witness. Later that afternoon, we got to do some service with our Zone Leaders for Alex. It was so fun. We helped him start putting up fencing for his horses. Then we had dinner with the Francoms & Sister Chisholm & I walked over & met with the Waldmann family. Oh my goodness. I love this family so much. Long story short, the father of the home is not a member but he fully supports his active wife & has a calling in cub scouts. Pretty cool. We talked a lot about faith & having the courage to defend our faith at all times. Then Sister Chisholm sang a song that she wrote about the Savior & it was so touching. We could literally feel & see the fathers heart start to change right in front of us. We definitely connected with him & it was cool to see the Savior work through us to touch lives. At that very moment I was reminded to be grateful for the little things. No, we didn't commited him to baptism, but we sure left a big positive impression on that family. Things don't always go the way we want them to go, but they go the way the Lord needs them go. We need to remember that he's in charge, not us. Sweet testimony builder for me. </span></div>

I woke up not feeling so well for some reason. I wasn't sick, I just felt like something wasn't right. The phone call that I received later that day, reassured the feelings that I was having. I got a heartbreaking phone call that Uncle Lance had gone home to our Heavenly Father. I like to call him, my first investigator. I remember a year ago, mom was telling me that he would read my blogs & then mom told me that he started letting the missionaries in his home. Slowly but surely, the spirit soften this big mans heart & he changed for the better. I don't think any of us were ready for what was about to happen next. Before we knew it, he was becoming an example to so many. When I received an email of Him, Aunty Dave & Kapoli at their baptism, it was almost unreal. It has & will be such a powerful testimony to me that ANYONE can change. Anyone can choose today, to become what Heavenly Father wants us to become. We have our agency. We just need to use it for the good. On a side note, I wanna thank EVERYONE who rapped their arms around me, who comforted me & gave me support. THANK YOU for being my family away from family. Being a way from my family at a time like this is difficult but, I have an amazing support system here in Texas & more importantly, I've been even that much more closer to my Savior, Jesus Christ. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">I wanna leave y'all with something that touched my heart. So in all my areas, I always seem to have a little shadow that I fall in love with & adore. This new little shadows name is little Noah. He's about 4 years old. When I got the sad news I couldn't help but cry. As I was walking down the hallway at church, little Noah came out of the chapel & said, "there you are, I was looking for you." Then he looked at me as I ran in a side room. He then went to my 2 sweet companions & said, "your sisters hurt. She's crying. She's in that room over there." After we talked for a bit in the room, I opened the door & he was waiting for us. I then got down to his level & looked at him & he said, "What's wrong? Why are you sad?" Then I said, "my uncle died." He immediately put his arms around me & then he said, "my daddy died. It's okay though, he's better now." That experience touched my heart SO much. This little boy is the perfect example of being Christlike. He bore my burdens, comforted me when I needed comfort, he mourned with me when I needed to mourn. His little example left a big impression on my broken heart. He reminded me of the love that my Savior has for me. An experience that I will never forget. I wanna challenge each of y'all to be like this little boy. Pray for an opportunity to find someone to lift & then go & lift. When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span></div>
