Well this week has been a Blast! Super Busy since taking the area over! We have been struggling to get in contact with our investigators, those that we are teaching. But, have many opportunities to talk to people that we would not otherwise have had. Our days are filled and appointments made without us making them. It has been a blessing from Heavenly Father to come in contact with those we otherwise would not have had. The ward is great and involved in working with us as missionaries. The joy of this gospel cannot be explained only shown. It has changed me so much since being out here and I have had opportunities to see this gospel change others. You can see it in the way people act and work with each other. The mission is an experience of service and joy. You can have these opportunities in your everyday life through prayer and study of the scriptures. Obedience to God's commandments bring the greatest of blessings!
One of the people we are teaching struggles with addictions. Over the last 3 weeks he has really changed. Since he has stopped, he has become a peaceful and happy man. Our conversations are spiritual and fulfilling. He has seen the change and will hopefully continue to follow them!

Here is a video that really shows the need for hope in our lives. Someone we are teaching put it best "faith is a knowledge and hope is a want". Keep a desire and hope for more. Hope is the faith that lights your way in your darkest times! You never know the power of prayer until you do it.
Be safe this week and turn to Heavenly Father in all that you do!
Love you all!
