Hey Y'all!!!

This has been one of the most wildest weeks ever!! It's the best!!! I am not even sure where to start!!

So last Monday we were able to go sledding as a Zone and that was pretty awesome! A little scary because the Elders were doing so crazy stuff but we survived!! We got a call from our mission president that night as well and he said that he wanted us at the mission office the next morning at 9:45. All I could think of, "Are we in trouble?" and, "Are we having an emergency transfer??" But luckily it was none of those! Brother Littlefield (from the missionary department) came to our mission and wanted to talk to some of the missionaries! So that's what we did! I was grateful for the opportunity to do that because I felt like I am still able to influence the mission even though I am leaving soon! #IdahoFalls #BestMission

On Wednesday I had my last Zone Conference and it was amazing! It is always so great to be able to see all of my missionary friends! What makes it even better are the trainings! Brother Littlefield told us that our mission is doing well but we could be doing better! I am excited to see where his thoughts and training will lead our mission! I was also able to bare my testimony (since it was my last one) and that was a good experience. I cried haha! Afterwards, President Nelson just gave me a handshake and said that he loved me! Ah! I love that man!

On Friday we were able to find 3 new people to teach! It was awesome! God is so kind and is blessing us so much! Two of them are a couple and a member invited them to meet with us! They are from Cali and do not have a very big religious background. They are so amazing and I am so glad that we are able to teach them! We were able to give them something we call a "tabbed Book of Mormon" which is basically an awesome copy of the Book of Mormon! It is easier for people to read when they do not know much about the Book of Mormon! The other was a super cute girl! She is 11 years old and is so excited about the gospel! I love it!

Also, the First Presidency announced that we can now talk to our families! We think that it is so inspired from God! It will help families be closer and help everyone do more missionary work! 

On Saturday was one of the best days of my life! We were able to go to the temple with someone we taught and baptized back in Salmon! We were able to see them be sealed as a family for all time and eternity and that right there made everything worth it! Leaving my family for almost 19 months, all of the tears, sicknesses, heartache, everything so worth it to see that! God is so good! Oh and to put a cherry on top I was able to see Sister Gaston!!! 

This is God's church! I am so happy and honored to be a missionary for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! 

Love,
