Skype this week say whaa??

Hey Y'all!

well well well what do we have here?! looks like a bunch of meanie heads who never write their favorite Elder!!!! You guys are breaking my heart one week at a time </3 its ok though because I'm a loving missionary and ill except all those who write me :)

SOOOOOOOOOOO not much happened this past week... we are officially starting Elder Basteens second transfer! crazy how fast it goes, I felt like my training was forever and a day and his is just cruising by haha. But ya I have really enjoyed my time with him and I hope that I can help him reach his full potential. So hears to 6 more weeks in the wonderful town of Vinton Virginia! This week because it was the end of last transfer we had to say goodbye to Elder Estes and boy was that rough. Though I didn't serve with him I felt like I was saying goodbye to a brother because of how close we had gotten over the past 3 months. But I Know he will kill it in his next area and hopefully after this transfer I will get to be his next companion. So I need you all to pray for that ok? ok good.

So since its only been a couple of days I don't have to much to report to you guys so I'll just dive into my spiritual thought!

So yesterday we had a stake conference and had a live feed from Salt Lake City to hear from some of the leaders of the church! The one that I want to share a little excerpt from is the 1st counselor of the primary! She talked about the importance of us keeping our own light and how it will help us fulfill our journey here. Its like if we were to go for a walk at night on a trail that we both weren't too familiar with, and only I had the flashlight, it would make it a lot harder for you to see where to walk and what to dodge along the way. The same goes for us here on earth. we can only go so far with borrowed light. Our parents, family members, friends, etc. can only help us so far until we finally decide for our selves that this gospel is true. As we gain our own light we recognize that its a lot easier to walk off of our own then to borrow from some where else. Often times it will keep us from pain and sorrow. So this week I want to invite you all to find your own light. will you do that? good :)

I love you all and I hope you have a great week :)
