Weird to hear that Teal and Miranda
have reported. Have you talked to bishop at all about when he wants me to
report? I was just thinking about that with me only being home on fast Sunday
in January. Going to be a crazy transition :) Dad you traded Maverick? good
horse. Sounds like you were busy with the scouts! Fun that Kaysie and Quinn
went to the unlv game with some football kids. Maybe more fun that you and mom
got to have Kambrie.

It has been such a fun week!! We had
2 ward activities this week. During one of them we didn't have any
investigators there and so my companion and I felt like we should take a Book
of Mormon and go out. We left and started talking with people. One guy we
talked to was super nice, but said it wouldn't matter to him to know if God
existed or not(still don't understand that). Another person insured us she was
NOT interested. Had some friendly conversations but nothing was really
happening. When we were almost back to the church we ran into a guy whose
friend is a member and he had visited church before but never had a Book of
Mormon. We got to talk with him and give him one and we were grateful we were
in the right place at the right time.
The other ward activity was a relief
society activity. The members are amazing. It was a great activity and it was
hilarious for one of the activities we designed dresses out of newspaper. One
member is originally from Brazil and had a runway walk like a pro. My companion
also got to be a model and they made her a nice...sunhat? that looked more like
a ginormous sombrero. My companion and I sang a musical number. The whole
activity was a lot of fun and it was good to get to know people.
The members here blow my mind. They
are so dedicated and it's so motivating to hear their conversion stories. One
member told his family he was joining the church and his son-in-law told him he
would no longer be welcome in their home, and to have nothing to do with their
daughter. The member couldn't deny what he had learned and respected his son-in-laws
wish. I don't know what broke his heart more--not being in contact with his
granddaughters or that his son-in-law was so hard hearted to the gospel. I have
heard multiple conversion stories this week that just humble me.
Oh dad! Happy Father’s Day!! It was
yesterday here. I told a couple dads happy father day on the street yesterday
and I got the "thanks you too!" reply, as they were taken by
surprise, and then they realized that that didn't make sense. Reminded me of
the Bryan Regan "Have a nice flight" "You too!" comment.
This week I have been focusing on
the message of the restoration. The more my testimony grows about the Book of
Mormon and Joseph Smith, the easier it is for me to testify. I love Joseph
Smith's record of his experiences and just strengthen my testimony that it
actually happened. It should sound crazy, but it doesn't. It feels so right. So
peaceful.
It's amazing how our daily study of
the Book of Mormon becomes applicable every day. What we read in the morning
will come to our minds at some point throughout the day.
I love the gospel. Thank you for
your support. The church of Jesus Christ has been restored. We have a living
prophet.
Love you all:) have a great week!
