  Man it's crazy how it is already Thanksgiving and Inna few weeks it'll be Christmas! time is flying by... This week was great. Not as much office work so we got to do more missionary work!! That's always the best. Aiii....so there is this one couple we are teaching, the boyfriend is a member but not the girlfriend. She is super receptive though and really wanting to just jump into everything. The boyfriend apparently shot a music video or something with... NBA YOUNGBOY what the freak... he said that NBA has family here in Utah that are members of the church and NBA has a Book of Mormon  I was just dying laughing. Anyways....  Normally AP's don't get president interviews WHICH SUCKS because I love interviews with President. But we convinced him to let us have one and dang it was the freaking best. The Spirit is always just super strong and I always leave feeling super inspired to go and grind.  Everyone the reason the Book of Mormon is important to us is because it...

  Another short email coming your way... I've been way to busy to sit down and write an email so here ya go. This week was Zone Conference week sooooo that's always just super busy. I always feel like I'm just a chicken with my head cut off running around. It was all on the Plan of Salvation which was soooo freaking lit. E. Barney and I had to give an hour training on how to teach the Plan of Salvation while using the Book of Mormon. But ofc president Evanson was spitting bars so he went a lil over on his time each time so we had less than an hour but I was so thankful because I was able to receive a lot of revelation and inspiration from his training. I KNOW that the Plan of Salvation is the Plan that God had prepared before this world was created, to provide a way for us ALL to attain the highest level of joy and be able to improve and make it back to live in His Presence. I know that this Plan offers the absolute most hope than any other thing ever. THIS IS TRUTH, He has...

  Sorrry I've been lacking at sending emails. This one will be short haha sorry. We had a baptism last night for 2 kids named Vai and Noa. They are the best kids ever. Their family situation is really hard but it was cool to see how the Gospel is slowly helping the family grow together. So I am still an Assistant to the President and I got a new companion. His name is Elder Barney he is from Texas he's super fun!!! I am kinda in the same area. We lost one of our Stakes the Thanksgiving stake. So now I only cover the Holbrook Farms stake and 2 Polynesian wards. But I am still living with Elder Kempton and his companion!!    We have been finding some traction with some of the people we are teaching it's been great. We are hoping to set a date for baptism for a few of them!!  We have zone conference coming up this week and we have been preparing like crazy this past week so we have been super busy.  I have been studying the plan of Salvation and WOW it has been ama...

  So I don't got any time at all so I'm going to drop a scripture and pictures. This week us Transfer week so this and last week are crazyyyyy busy. Love yall Alma 31:5 And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.

  This week was crazy busy.... it was Zone Conference week so that is always fun. Zone conference was focused on the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. It was the BEST zone conference ever... (so there is always 3 of them and 3 zones In each and each zone has about 20ish missionaries.) And I just felt soooo spiritually uplifted. I felt the Holy Ghost overcome me the entire time. President Evanson gave a training on the First Vision accounts. Sister Evanson gave one om obedience. We gave one on Personal/Companionship study leading to teaching with spiritual power. And President also did some role plays.  AGAIN IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO HOW I KNOW THAT JOSEPH SMITH IS A PROPHET OF GOD. This is Christ's church again established on the earth.  Elder Doty (my training in Utah) and I gotta be back together again on an exchange. It was actually really awesome. It was raining the entire night and we were drenched but we talked to a lot of people. We met the guy who wrote an...

  Soooooo the past 2 weeks have been GREAT!!! Last week we for the first time in like 4.5 months had a FULL day in our own area to do missionary work and also without any exchanges. It felt soooo good to be doing work!! It really is the best to be serving others and the Lord There was so much that has happened since last email... There is one area out in Eagle Mountain that has quote a lot of polygamists (have more than one wife) it was a very interesting vibe out there. We didn't run into any of them that night but oh man I heard quite a lot of stories. I am still in Lehi. I have been here for almost 7.5 months (5 transfers) and I will most likely stay for 3 more months. I love this area there is so much work to be done so it'll be lit.  We have ran into soooo many people who really don't like the church or who left it. It's always just so interesting. I have come to see the difference very clearly in those who follow Christ or are trying vs those who once knew Christ ...
