  How's it going everyone? I hope you've all had a great last couple weeks. Sorry I didn't send out an email last week. Here's a quick rundown of two weeks ago: -We got transfer news and for the first time I'm keeping a companion!! -We're staying in Spanish Hills and then we also picked up the Sierra Vista ward -The Sierra Vista ward is the ward my family lived in when they were in Vegas. So technically I've kind of lived in this ward before. I was just in the womb -Our friend Michelle is awesome! She came to church and quit coffee before we ever talked about the Word of Wisdom -We met an awesome new friend named Betty I love missionary work so much! Life is so good. This past week we did a lot of planning for the transfer. It's going to be a 7 week transfer so we get to pack a lot of exchanges in there    We went to the temple with our new member Linda and the Spirit was so strong   She was baptized for her grandmas and it was just a wonderful feeling. ...

 God is good! This was such a good week! Our friend Linda was baptized on Saturday! It was so awesome. She's been coming to church for 25 years and she finally decided it was time to become a member of Christ's church. There were so many people at the baptism. Linda is a pretty goofy person.

So he decided he'd teach us how to make a pristine steak. It was actually one of the funnest members meals I've ever had. We stayed too late though. Oops    On Saturday we got a media referral. We reached out and invited her to church. The next daybshe filled out another media referral but this one was about baptism. So the Lord prompted us t...

  Another week in the service of God! We had Zone conference on Thursday and it was the best zone conference in such a long time! All of the trainings were so good! We talked about having the faith to baptize, answering the call to serve, and giving everything each and every day. Also our zone won the zone v zone activity.  Spring Mountain on top!!   It was also President's last zone conference so it was so spiritual. Almost everyone was crying   I also had my last interview with him right after zone conference. I'm so thankful for President Nielsen and his example and Christlike service. I know one of the reasons I was called to this mission was to serve under him for these 10 months.  I got to go on a couple exchanges this past week. On Wednesday I was with Elder Staheli and then on Saturday me and Elder Jensen ran it back in Spanish Hills. Both were so much fun   Me and Elder Jensen went to Shaqs Chicken restaurant called Big Chicken ...
