I love getting stuff in the mail and email so send the love both ways, i sent a letter but I am going to update you probably before it gets to you. 

 

I AM TRAINING AND A DISTRICT LEADER!!!!

I am so excited to get my Greenie tomorrow, and quite sad to see Elder Lieberum go home, but i have his address and email so we will keep in touch. it is true what they say, that you will forever remember your first companion, i cant believe it is already done, my training is over and now i will be training...

My district is going to be interesting, it is 2 wards, and it consists of Me and my trainee, a sister Risley, and her new Trainee she will be getting tomorrow, a sister Williams, and her new Trainee she's getting tomorrow, and a senior couple, the Davis's. It is definitely going to be some interesting District Meetings that I get to lead.

They are splitting my area to make room for the new Sister Missionaries, Sister Risley and her trainee, so it will be interesting how they do it because it is super lopsided, there are a lot more people on the top half, (which is where the sisters are supposed to be) then the bottom.

I am back on bike tomorrow, my back has been feeling better, so hopefully with those stretches i have been doing it wont be a problem. One of our Investigators got a Temporary Job till the end of this month so we are not sure when she is going to want to meet again, she is really busy right now. the other is steadily progressing, and is meeting with us at least 1 time a week, sometimes 2 or 3, and she takes the sacrament every week.

My Testimony has grown so much since i have come out here, I am so glad that I am here doing the Lord's work.

I Know that the Book of Mormon is God's word, that he brought this amazing work to pass so that we might all return to live with him at the end of our days here on earth, and what a glorious day that will be when we can stand before God with our eyes beaming and our countenances bright, and here him say Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

I know that Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God, that he restored this church, which is the TRUE Church of Jesus Christ, in these the Latter Days. I know that Thomas S Monson is God's Prophet today, and leads this church by revelation, and that Christ is the Head of this church, not any man. I am so greatful to all of my Family and Friends for all of their support, I could not have done it without you. I love you all!
