PEANUTS

Hey Folks :)

Welp this past week was a pretty solid week to say the least! it went by faster than expected but hey that's every week so whats new right?! haha but ya things are going great, hard to believe that we are already on the last week of the transfer!! Feels like we just started it yesterday! I'm so grateful to be serving in such a wonderful mission. I love being a missionary!!!! 

I guess to start the week off I'll start with the mission tour.... PRESIDENT LINDHARDT IS THE MAN!!!!!!  I know with out a shadow of a doubt that this man and his family has been called of God and that he is whats best for the missionaries and the people of this mission. I look forward to serving by his side and enjoying the ride with him and his wonderful family. So I guess a little bit about President Lindhardt, He grew up in SmithField In the promised land of Logan Utah!! and he graduated with my Mom at Skyview High! and I can't remember where exactly he served his mission but when he got home he went to Alaska to fly planes for a little bit and while he was there he did a lot of hunting. He showed us a picture of him  with his grizzly bear pelt draped over him which made him look like a total stud haha. I asked him during the question period what the biggest animal he shot and he said that he killed a bull moose that was over 66 inches wide!!! Needless to say me and President Lindhardt will be great friends :)

As for the rest of the week I had two more ingrown toe nails removed... that makes for a total of 5 in the past 2 months lol. gotta love it! Other than that we have just been doing a lot of your everyday missionary stuff. tracting, teaching, and converting :) A lot of our investigators have had some trials hit them pretty hard this week. Daniel and Ashley found out that Daniel has cancer in his stomach and his kidneys are failing and the Macfies lost both of their kids to CPS... pretty hard to hear but we are doing all we can to turn their hearts to their Savior during their time of need. I'm so grateful for the plan of salvation and the knowledge that its gives us to know that if we follow the savior and his commandments and do as he has asked us that we can live with those we love for eternity.

For my spiritual thought I just want to mention something  In Presidents meeting this past week he said a quote that will stick for me forever and that is "He is in the details." how often to we tend to blame or take credit for things that we do instead of our Heavenly Father? Often times then not we forget that he is truly the one that puts people and things in our path that will best help us BECOME the person that Christ wants us to be. I want to bear my testimony that I know that we our children of a true and loving God and that he loves each one of us differently and personally more than we will ever comprehend. look to him, love him, rejoice in him. happiness within his love and the saviors grace and mercy. I love you all so much and hope you guys have a great week!!
