Hey Ya'll!

Well this week absolutely FLEW by. we had a teaching record this week of a total of 15 lessons! it was pretty rad! I love teaching because I love being able to connect with people through the gospel! its so cool being able to see it click in their eyes and see the light and peace it brings into their life. not too many crazy stories out here in good ole Ashland this last week other than how great the work is doing.

This last week I got to do an exchange with an elder is my district, his name was Elder MacDonald. It was such a faith and testimony building experience for me. Elder MacDonald has a very severe stutter. so when he would teach it was cool to see the faith and love he had for the gospel. It helped me so much because as many of you know I have a stutter. though its not severe it is something that I have always been self conscious (I think I spelled that right..) about and after being around Elder MacDonald It helped me to realize that I need to be grateful that I have a stutter. Heavenly father gives us certain trials through out our lives that are there to help us grow and that help us to be humbled. This was such a huge humbling experience for me. So for those of you that are going through trials in your life or have had trials in your life for as long as you can remember, just remember to turn to heavenly father during them. there is a reason why he puts them in our life, and as we look to him for guidance he will make out burdens light and will make it easier for us each day!!

Our investigators are doing well. Keith came to church again yesterday and looks forward to being baptized! he is so awesome! this week elder Wasden and I were also told by one of our investigator families, the Dalton's, that we were their favorite missionaries that they have ever met with. and they have been meeting with missionaries for 20 plus years! it was so awesome to be told. heavenly father works in many ways and I can testify to you guys that he knows when we need tender mercies the most! I love this gospel, and I love being a missionary! I hope you all have a great week. I love each and every one of you!!

P.S. please send pictures to me. I miss your faces!
