<div style="background: white; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17pt;">Hi there
Everyone! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17pt;">You know
our time for these letters is coming to a close. I just want you all to know
how grateful I am for EACH of you. Whether you are just reading my emails or
someone I regularly talk to, I know you have played a huge part in my
mission. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; min-height: 20.3px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17pt;">Over
this time, my love for so many things has grown but especially my love for the
Savior has grown. Yesterday, in sacrament meeting the talks were on faith and
putting our faith into action. I have found that the only way I have been able
to grow my faith and love for the Savior has been as I put it into action. One
of the speakers truly took the symbolism of baptism to a whole new level for
me. He said that when we are baptized we don't fall forward, we don't dunk
ourselves, we don't just spring ourselves. We completely immerse ourselves. We
fall back, putting all our trust in the person baptizing us. But really we are
showing that we are fully and completely putting all our trust in the Lord. We
are letting go of the things in the past and looking forward to the things to
come. I have been so honored to watch my dear friends let go of so much to
receive so much more. </span><br />

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17pt;">What an amazing reminder to me that we never can tell where we will find that
person who is truly ready to let go and trust in the Lord. He has moved up to
Richmond for school but has been driving all the way to Crystal City to go to
church. I know he has truly given up so much to make this promise with the Lord. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Hey
everyone! I hope you have had a blessed week. This week was AWESOME!!! Lots of
great things happened. I think the biggest lesson I learned this week is that
what we think might be a mistake might actually not be a mistake at all. I'm
telling ya, the Lord works in amazing ways! </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">It
all started last Monday. We had just prayed about where we should go to finish
the night. Now you have to know our car doesn't have a way to use our GPS so we
drive solely by memory. I turned down the road I was certain would lead us to
our friends house. As we were driving I remembered this house we had tried
earlier in the week. We flipped the car around and went back. The people didn't
answer but as we were walking away Sister Moore remembered how we had wanted to
try the house across the street when we had come the time before. As we for
closer I realized the lady was out there on her porch. Haha! Not only was she on her porch but she was on
her phone too. But a promptings a prompting so we walked up and said Hello. We
awkwardly stood there and she finished the call. As we talked with her she told
us how she had fallen away from going to church. She said it just wasn't for
her. She said there was only one time she has really enjoyed going to church.
She said it was when she went with her friend Margaret. She went on talking and
expounding on the fact that she really felt at home in her friends church. It
was just at that moment when our jaws almost fell to the floor. She said,
"My friend Margaret goes to the Mormon Church" WHAT!!! That's crazy!
As she said that I realized that we were there for her. She gladly accepted to
come to church with us and said she would begin reading the Book of Mormon. As
we got back to our car we were both shocked and amazed by how the Lord had
truly lead us to this dear woman. We were even more shocked when we came to
realize I had without a second thought taken the wrong road to get where we
were going. Or was it really the wrong road? I truly believe that many times we
feel as though we have made an insistent mistake. Maybe caused a few
unnecessary problems. Satan wants us to feel as though we are the worst and
that we have ruined everything. But our Heavenly Father knows us far better. In
fact I know he gives us plenty of room to make some errors. He definitely does
not expect us to be perfect. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I
remember when I started driving in the city. I felt like I had no idea what I
was doing. I became an expert at U-turns and figured out the perfect timing to
allow my GPS to recalculate. Something that in the moment seemed so time consuming
and really frustrating to an awesome driver such as myself became a very
humbling experience. It taught me to look at what the Lord was trying to
teach me. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Well,
needless to say, later on this week I yet again took a sort of wrong turn. As we
drove down the road I saw a woman walking her dog. I thought maybe we should
talk to her. I pulled over to figure out where to go and again the thought
came. We got out and talked to her and turns out she is good friends with
members as well! She said she would love to get baptized. It's definitely
something she had been thinking a lot about. Wow! Again the Lord had taught me
that my mistake wasn't going to ruin all the plans in fact maybe it was a part
of the plans. I am learning that nothing we can do will frustrate the work of
the Lord. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">My
last experience happens just the other day. We were trying to get ahold of this
guy we had met earlier this transfer named Angel. I pulled up the contacts in
our phone and there was only one Angel so I called it. Before the person picked
up the phone I realized it wasn't the right Angel. A woman answered and she was
so excited to hear from us. She said she had moved away and lost contact with
the missionaries but would love to have home stop by. What a miracle! </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I
think of the scripture in doctrine and covenants that says, "That the fullness
of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of
the world, and before kings and rulers." D&C <span data-term="goog_476834775" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">1:23</span></span></span> </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I
know that I am very weak but with the Lord I am strong. I am so grateful for
these amazing experiences that have reminded me of that. I really can't believe
that my mission is coming to an end. I feel as though it just slipped through
my fingers and flew away. I know I will always hold these amazing experiences
near and dear to my heart. I love my mission and I love the Lord. I know that
Jesus is the Christ. I know that this Gospel is true. I know that is has
changed me and I hope it will continue to do so. I leave this testimony with
you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">President
and Sister Huntsman always take the missionaries to the temple for a session
the day before they go home. This transfer will end the day the temple closes
for cleaning so they took us this week. We met at the mission office and went
to the temple. Got some pictures then went to the mission home for a delicious
Mormon dinner (Cafe Rio!!!). After dinner we had a testimony meeting. It
was so incredible to hear how our missions have truly changed each of our
lives. It was so sad to think that will be our last time in the mission home
though. Our last day in the mission field, instead of doing all that stuff (temple
and out to eat) we will get to go out and finish our missions strong. They will
send us out in a trio for the rest of the night. It will be so fun!</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

put away our bug spray and pulled out our rain boats today. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">At
the beginning of the year our mission started doing a car fast. The first <span data-term="goog_577676412" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span></span> of every month, we hang
up our car keys and pull out our good old missionary walking shoes. I have
always despised this day until now. Sister Moore is one spirit following Rockstar! She has taught me that it's okay to not put a ton of plans in the
schedule because the Lord WILL place people in your path. As we went out we
planned to talk with everyone we saw and it was incredible! Not everyone was
interested but we were able to teach each person in some way. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I
might not have explained it very well last time I emailed. Our mission
frequently sets goals for the week of how many new investigators we will find
in that time. President wanted us to focus on the Book of Mormon and so we came
up with the idea to find 531 new investigators in that week. Someone you have
taught a lesson to, invited to do something and set up a time to met again.</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">As
our mission has had a focus on the Book of Mormon this week we made sure to
utilize a scripture in every contact, if we could. I came to understand that as
it says in Preach My Gospel, "The Book of Mormon, combined with the
Spirit, is your most powerful resource in conversion." Not only were the
people we talked to enlightened by the spirit but they then had physical
evidence that they could study and apply for themselves. I know my testimony of
the Book of Mormon definitely increased. I would stop myself from just handing
out a pamphlet and try to think of a verse or a chapter that would teach the
same principle. It was no longer me just teaching what I know and became God’s
children learning from His word. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

too. She is such a hard worker and loves sharing the gospel. Like I said before
she has a twin sister and then 4 brothers back at home. Funny story I actually
have met her before the mission. So she is from South Jordan, Utah. My good
friend Jessi and I went to her house and her orchestra concert our SR. Year.
Super funny. Sister Moore loves to talk to everyone! I'll tell you more things
in the coming weeks about her. </span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">This week has been really fun! We went to missionary leadership
council and president showed us this video. It was where they handed out all
531 pages of the Book of Mormon and invited people to look for the references
to God in it. It was so cool to see that even though they weren't members of
the church they absolutely loved reading the Book of Mormon. Many people we
talk to think they have to be members to read it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">After watching the video President said he wants us to use the
Book of Mormon more as our main recourse for teaching people. We have been
working on using it in every finding approach and I am so impressed by the
things it has brought about with it. President asked us what we thought would
be a good finding goal to go with our Book of Mormon week and I said 531. One for each page. He agreed so we are
faithful looking for those 531 souls. Keep us in your prayers. I know that the
Book of Mormon is the word of God I know that we will get nearer to Him as we
read from its amazing 531 pages. I love you all and leave this with you in the
name of our Savior Jesus Christ, Amen. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif; font-size: 17pt;">Okay! It seems like every week I say I have l learned so much
about how Heavenly Father is so completely aware of us but it's because I never
cease to be amazed by the many ways He truly shows His amazing hand in our
lives. This was the last week of our transfer and so it seemed to be crunch
time for us. </span><br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif; font-size: 17pt;">At times I was very overwhelmed by everything going on. I think
transfers have always been a hard thing for me. They are good but hard at the
same time. At times when I was the most overwhelmed, it was incredible to see
all the tender miracles Heavenly Father showed to me. It was from something as small as a delicious
dessert to as big as being able to see some of my amazing friends again. I know
that Heavenly Father knew just what I needed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext", serif;">One of the most amazing blessings this week was getting to see both
Robin and Andy speak at our missions fireside. They do it at the end of every
transfer. Andy gave me a little shout out saying we sat down for dinner and I
said, "So Andy, when are you getting baptized?" There was a lot of
the story missing but it was sooo funny. I’m pretty sure my face went red
and the entire room got 10 degrees hotter. Ha,ha! I think it was a good reminder to me that
people definitely listen to and remember the things we say. So be careful what
you say!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">It's definitely good to be bold but as long as you are loving
along with our boldness. We had a zone Conference once where they talked to us
about BLT ( bold, loving, testify). If we match our boldness with equal parts L
and T it all will be good. When Elder Bennett came to our mission, he said we
can never be too bold as long as we are loving. I mean it even says in the
scriptures "whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth" - Hebrews
12:6 </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Another amazing miracle and reminder to me this week was how
much our Heavenly Father truly loves each one of us. There are times my family
will send me something just when I need it and it just lifts my spirits even
more. Our families know just what we need. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">We had a lesson with one of our friends that we hadn't seen in a
good month. He's a really busy guy but he said, "For some reason I was
available that day." We quickly
learned the miraculous reason as the
member we brought with us walked in. We introduced them to each other. They
both are from Ghana. They started talking about the things they remember from
their country when all of a sudden the member looks over at us and says,
"He is my brother!" We thought she just meant her brother in
Christ or that they had a lot in common but no! They are actually blood related.
They are cousins! Turns out they had been looking for each other for over 20
years! How amazing is that. Our Heavenly Father will NEVER forget any of his
children. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
Wow! 7/17/17
This week was so miracles and eventful. It's getting to be the end of the transfer so in order to fit in 9 different exchanges with all of our sisters we went on 3 exchanges this week. We have such amazing sisters who bring so much excitement to our area. I learned from them that our Heavenly Father does hear and answer our prayers. I don't have too much time but I just want to share a couple examples of how I learned that.
I have gone on several exchanges without a problem but for some reason this week I was so nervous for all of them. I have been praying a lot that they would go well and it turns out each of the sisters had been as well.
The first exchange I went on was with the sisters from Crystal city. They are in an area that doesn't have a car so for the first half of the day Sister Richardson and I where on foot. I learned so much in that short amount of time. When I thought everything was falling apart, I learned that Heavenly Father was just rearranging it to what it really was supposed to be. As we walked, we talked with everyone.
When it was time to stop for lunch we walked up to a store. It's kind of an interesting part of town so we weren't sure where to eat. We decided to go into one restaurant and just look at the menu. Come to find out we weren't there for the food we were there for our dear friend Hudan. She doesn't have a Christ background but she was so excited to meet us. Funny thing was, we really thought we were there for food. but when she kept helping us figure out where to find things we realized we needed to teach her. So we sat down and started getting to know her. Later that day I had found out that Sister Richardson had been praying to just be able to teach a lesson. She was so excited when, later that day, we had a lesson with such an amazing prepared family from Ghana. I know that both of us could not doubt that Heavenly Father was absolutely guiding our day.
The next miracle came on our exchange with our brand new sister. This was her first exchange. She is currently serving in a young single adult ward. When she came she told me they had a ton of people that wanted to meet on the day we had exchanges scheduled for. She didn't know how it would happen but she know that the Lord would provide a way. Well he sure did!
We saw this guy selling coconuts on the side of the road. We went and had our lesson and when we came back he was still there. We got one and then started talking to people to see if anyone was willing to listen. Our dear friend that was selling the coconuts really was interested. He listened and wanted to learn more. Well you will never guess. He is a young single adult that lives in the sisters area! Wow! It doesn't get more miraculous than that.
I know that Heavenly Father is there. I know he hears and answers our prayers. He will never leave us alone. I know this Gospel is true. It is our steps to our Father in Heaven. I love you all and leave this with you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

<br /></div>
Hey Everyone!
I hope you all had such a great week! I have loved hearing about all your fun 4th of July celebrations. For our Fourth of July we got to go to the Presidents house for a barbecue and games. It's always so much fun! We had a finding goal the week before of 400 new investigators all invited to baptism as a mission. We were the lucky zone that got to film the video with President. I hope you enjoy it!
On the actual 4th of July we got to go on exchanges with two amazing sisters. Ironically enough the sister I was with was actually from Canada. She loved getting to celebrate the 4th here. While we were together we got to go to her area and have a pass of lesson with..........? You guessed it! Sister Von Sayvoe!! It was so fun to see her teach. She is such an amazing missionary. I am so proud of her. She has done so well.
I was even more excited to get to go to Andy's baptism this last Saturday! Yep, Andy got baptized! We are so excited for him. He is going to go to the temple for the first time to do baptisms tomorrow, too! That's pretty fast but he has friends that came into town from Georgia for the baptism and they really want to be there for these big events. It was so fun having them all there because we got to hear Andy's conversion story from another perspective.
So, a couple of years ago, one of the young women invited her friend named Monica to girl’s camp. Monica had a great time but never came to another activity again. Flash forward a couple of years the missionaries were over at that young woman's house. They asked who they could teach and she instantly thought of Monica. She told them she had given her a copy of the Book of Mormon but hadn't heard anything since. The missionaries went over and were greeted by Monica's father, Andy who politely said they weren't interested. When Monica heard what was going on she ran to talk to the missionaries and told them she had been reading the Book of Mormon. She began meeting with the missionaries and got baptized. She is now serving a mission in California. As time went on some tragic unexpected life events lead Andy to begin on a soul searching journey. Though he wasn't a member of the church, the ward reached out to him in such love. It left a huge impact on Andy and he, as well, began to investigate. His daughter Monica was so excited to be able to Skype him for his special day. I am so grateful to have been a part of this amazing day.
It is so incredible to see how one small act can make a huge impact on the rest of someone's life. I have truly seen that through my mission, there have been times where I might have felt someone wasn't interested but if we feel the prompting we just need to act on it. I can't imagine how the course of events would have changed if that young woman would have never invited Monica to girls camp.
I know that Heavenly Father has an amazing plan and time table for each of us. I invite each of you to think of a friend you might have felt you should reach out to. Take the opportunity to invite them to something. I promise you it will change the life of generations. I know that the Lord will be with us and fill our mouths with the words to speak. Just as it says in D&C 84:85 ".....and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man."
I absolutely know that this is the Lord's work. I am so grateful to be a part of it. I know that the gospel is true and that Jesus Christ truly is our Lord and Savior. I leave that with you in the name of our dear Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
Sincerely, Sister Goudy

<br /></div>
Hey everyone! Happy 4th of July!
Our ward covers the Fort Belvoir military base as part of our sacrament meeting yesterday, we all stood and sang the National Anthem. It was powerful! What a blessing it is to live in such an amazing country. I am so grateful to get this opportunity to serve along side such amazing men and woman who have so bravely fought for our freedom. It's such an amazing place to serve.
I am still learning a lot about the area and the people here but things are going pretty well. I think a favorite part is how we get to spend a lot of time with the other sisters. I love getting to see Sister Von Savoye. She is doing incredible! I am so proud of her. We went on a mini-exchange and had a lesson with Tony. I was so excited to see him. He has been working on getting to the temple and hints were kind of slowing down so I got to go visit him and see how I could help. Everything turned out really well and on Saturday we all went and celebrated his big day at the temple! The only time there was bad weather that day was when we were in the temple which was a huge blessing because it was the day of our car fast. Heavenly Father truly has a perfect timing with everything. If we would have gone to the temple any earlier, we would have been driving in a heavy rain storm.
I also got to spend time this week with Hermana Abad. She is from Herman,Utah and she knows some of my friends. She is in the Spanish program so she taught me a couple of phrases. On exchanges, I am pretty sure I learn so much more from each of our amazing sisters then they learn from me. Hermana Abad is so great at listening to what people say. We were only companions for 24 hours but every time I didn't know what to say she would jump right in. She is incredible!
Another sister I had the privilege of learning from is Sister Cottam. She is currently training a sister in a singles ward. As we began driving for our short exchange, the car started making a weird nose. We pulled into a neighborhood and immediately felt like maybe we weren't there to fix our car but to find someone ready for the gospel. Sure enough, as we pulled over, we saw this house and felt like we should talk to the people there. Now missionary work tends to be really awkward 99% of the time, so we were trying to figure our approach. Just as we were going to walk up to the door, a man walked out and asked us if we needed help with our car. We were able to talk with him and let him know that missionaries could talk with him more where he was moving. I think so many times I have to come to realize that just because someone might have been placed in our paths and is ready for at least a little portion of the gospel doesn't mean we will be the missionaries teaching them. We were able to plant the seed and let our little plant grow. In reality, none of these people are our investigators. They are the Lord's. He watches over them and knows exactly what they need. I am so grateful for these amazing learning experiences I have had this week. I know that this gospel is true and I am so grateful for it. I am so grateful for the temple. I know that it truly is the house of God where we can go to make further promises with Him. I hope you all have a great week!
Love, Sister Goudy

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Well, Hey there everyone! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I've
got a good update for you on this new week, transfer, area and companion. Lots
of new things happened this week. I am now serving in the Fort Belvoir ward.
It's in Alexandria and Lorton Virginia right off the Potomac. There is such a great
variety of cultures here in the area. My companion, Sister Millward told me
people like to feed us food from all over the world here so get your maps ready</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".applecoloremojiui" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"></span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">.
This is Sister Millward’s last transfer. It's kind of cool actually, we have
served in the same zone our entire missions and now we get to be companions.
She is from Idaho and I hear she is an amazing dancer. She is the youngest in
her family. I think the greatest thing I have learned from her, so far, is how
great she is at literally making friends with everyone. I have to ask her
sometimes if she already knows the people we are talking to because she seems
like they are best buds. Ha-ha she is great. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">We are so excited to be sister
training leaders together. We came up with a fun idea to kick off our Christ like
attribute for this transfer, it's happiness and joy. One night after we got
home we were joking around and one things snow balled into another and now we
will be sending out a small and simple goal each day for the sisters. Last year President
Huntsman would send out a small and simple video and would challenge us to do
something that day to bring about our goal of 300 baptisms last year. I know it
was by those small and simple things that brought about greatness then. It will
definitely help each of the sisters and us have fun and bring about great
things now. We are so excited! </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I love you all so much. I absolutely
know that this gospel is true. I know that God is our loving Heavenly Father.
He reaches out with open arms to each of us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope you each will see His hand in your life
this week! </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I hope you all had a great week.
This week we got to go on exchanges with our sister Training leaders. It was a
ton of fun because they are in the Spanish program so everyone we met for the
most part could only communicate with one of us. At the beginning, Hermana
Garcia and I made a bucket list of all the things we wanted to accomplish that
day. One of them was to have me learn Spanish at dinner, another one was to
make a U-turn to go back and talk with someone and another was to find 3 golden
prepared souls. I'll attach the picture so you can see the rest of our list. I
came to realize through this experience that anything in life is as fun as you make it. We could have looked at the day as knocking doors to just be
rejected or having all of our plans get switched around but we decided to look
at it as a challenge of how many fun things we could do. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">We started the day by doing our
studies on the top level of their 25 floor apartment. When Herman Garcia
started talking to and teaching, the lady that worked there, it was such a
great way to start the day. A little later we went to have lunch where one of
the members worked. As we were driving by I saw these two construction workers
and I really felt we needed to talk with them. We flipped a U-turn and rolled
down our window and had a mini-lesson from the car. One of the workers said
that the <i>Book of Mormon</i> was just what he need to talk with his friend about the
connections in the <i>Bible</i>! It was such a miracle! They even said they would be
willing to meet with the missionaries in their area. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">On our bucket list, was to teach
our waiter so sure enough we started talking to him about the gospel. Turns out
he had met the missionaries before. I</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext", serif; font-size: 22.6667px;">t was so fun, </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext", serif; font-size: 17pt;">every time he would walk away, we
would think about what we could say next to teach him in the short amount of
time we had. He agreed to meet with them again on his day off. I think it
helped us to have a purpose. We weren't there to just have lunch, we were there
to see who the Lord had prepared for us. As we were about to leave we found out
the manager had payed for our meal! </span><br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">One of the coolest things that
happened though, came after dinner. I learned how to say I know God loves you in
Spanish and I wanted to test it out. So Hermana Garcia went up to a family and
said I was trying to learn Spanish and I wanted to practice. They absolutely
loved it and I am confident they felt the spirit. They said they would love to
have the sister come back and talk with them more. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; min-height: 20.3px; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I think above all, what I really
learned from this experience is that Heavenly Father sees our willingness. When we
have a willing heart, and he sees we will act on the joyful things that He places in
our path. I love how President Monson puts it. He says," I want the Lord
to know that Tom Monson is his man!" I want Heavenly Father to know that I
will labor diligently no matter what. I know that as we do what the Lord needs
us to do, he will bless us. I hope you all have a blessed week! </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Hey Everyone!
5/29/17<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">This
week was quite the adventure. One crazy roller coaster. Haha!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> One of the fun things about a mission is its
every emotion wrapped in one amazingly spiritual package that I wouldn’t trade
for the world. I don't know if something was in the air or what but people
weren't too happy this week. We got some good laughs. I think it really
solidifies for me the phrase that says, " Kindness begins with me".
There’s a lot that happens in life that
we don't have control over. The only thing we have control over is how we
respond. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I was
reminded of that when we knocked on a man’s door. The screen was locked so we
gave it a nice loud knock. It turns out we weren't the first people this week
to knock on his door that way and he was not to happy. We met him on the side
of his home walking away. With his stern comments, we had a split second to
decide how to respond. </span><br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Later, as we were talking, I told Sister Lovell that I
have really felt amazingly blessed to have the Lord’s help in times like that.
I instantly decide to not take what he said personally and just respond in
an apologetic way. We felt so bad for startling him. As he realized that, his
heart was soften and he begin to explain his story to us. He said he had
recently had an accident and he had trouble walking, so getting to the door was
rather hard. It was one of the best teaching opportunities I had this week by
far. I truly know that "Kindness does begin with us." As we treat others with
love the spirit will speak to their hearts and we all can come away uplifted!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I sure
love you all and am so grateful for your love and support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Your
kindness has truly softened my heart. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Well everyone, my time in the
Potomac Mid-Singles Ward is coming to an end. <span data-term="goog_1590878974" tabindex="0"><span class="aqj">Tomorrow</span></span> I will be transferred to
McClain, Va. I have all sorts of emotions but that's a mission for ya. Quite
the roller coaster.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">We finished off the transfer
with a bang. Our friend Robin was baptized! She has been investigating off and
on for over three years now. She is one amazing example and has such a powerful
testimony. She said this has always felt like home for her. Even when she
wasn't meeting with the missionaries she always felt drawn to them. She told us
about a time she had gone on a mission trip with the church she was attending.
They were talking to a person and she saw two elders walk by. She immediately
wanted to grab them and have them come teach the person she was talking to. It
has been a long journey but it has definitely been worth it. At the end of the
program they had her look around at the full chapel of friends and loved ones.
They said, "Wow this crowed of people would definitely be a great turn out
in most wards." Ha-ha, she sure has so many people that love her. Many of
them flew in from all across the country. She was so excited and her testimony
was so powerful at the end. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Robin planned to have several nonmembers
come to her baptism so for a week or two we had been arranging a little
reception afterwards. The members were so incredible! We thought we only had a
couple of people bringing treats but it turns out we had an amazing table full
of treats!! This ward has been such an amazing place to serve. I am
definitely going to miss it so much. I know my new area will definitely be
great as well. It's a lot smaller but it will be an adventure. The Potomac ward
covers almost all of the stakes in the mission so it's definitely going to be a
big downsize. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">It has been so fun training
Sister von Savoye. I would say we definitely have become good friends. The time
really just flew by. She is such an incredible missionary. I have never seen
anyone just dive right in like she has. It's amazing to see how quickly she
really has wanted to learn everything. I am so grateful for this chance to
serve with her. I know that each of my companions have truly made such a big
impact in my life. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I want to close by leaving you
all with my testimony. I do know that this gospel is true. What a blessing it
is to have the chance to see so many amazing people change their lives and
apply the Saviors Atonement more fully every day. It truly inspires me. I do
know that Jesus Christ truly is our Savior and redeemer, our only way back to
our Heavenly home. The mission has truly changed my perspective on making it
back to our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for the vail that helps us not
remember the things before this life. For as much as I can miss home some days I
can't imagine what it would be like if we could fully see our Heavenly home.
There is no doubt we would all long to be there and do anything possible to get
there. I know that as we follow the perfect example of the Savior we WILL make
it back home. I am so grateful for that knowledge and grateful for all of you.
I say these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif";"></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">The
mission is going great. We are having such a great time here in the Potomac
mid-singles ward. We got to work with a lot of members this week. They are incredible!
They think about so many things that I never would have thought of. They have a
page on Facebook and I guess someone reached out to one of the members about
coming to church. We quickly modified our Facebooks so we could reach out to
her about meeting. We really feel like Facebook will be so helpful for this
area because many people live in lock out buildings. It really takes the quote
quite literally that says,</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif; font-size: 17pt;">"
technology is unlocking doors to gated communities that missionaries would not
have access to otherwise" I know it will open so many doors for us to
share the gospel not only with the incredible people here but also back at
home. We won't be able to message over Facebook but we hope you will enjoy the
posted we make. If you think of any good ideas of how we can utilize it just
let me know. </span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">This
week we had an incredible lesson with our Friend Tony. It had been a week since
we had seen him. He was very open and honest with us and we had a great lesson.
The spirit was very strong. He told us how excited he is for baptism. We gave
him a framed copy of the Living Christ. He loved it! He has a big week ahead of
him so if you can keep him in your prayers I know it will help so much. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

have our friend Robin getting baptized this Sunday! She is so excited!! She has
been investigating for 3 years now and knows that it is absolutely what she
wants to do. She couldn't be more sure. She is so excited to be able to go out
and share the gospel with other people. When we come over for lessons it is
more to prepare her to teach it then to actually help her understand it
herself. She is amazing. People from all over are coming to her baptism. It is
going to be incredible. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Our
miracle for this week was after exchanges with our sister training leaders. They
were so good at talking with EVERYONE so we wanted to follow their example. We
were talking to this lady and as she was walking away directly behind her there
was a guy walking home from work. There is a saying in missionary work that the
more awkward the experience, the more promising it is. That was so true for
this experience. We immediately said “Hi” to him while the lady was not even 2
feet way from us. We are so glad we did because he was so excited to talk to
us. He understood everyone so well. We invited him to baptism and he said well
when you come back for your next lesson we could just do it then. Haha ! We said you might want some more preparation
then that and he agreed to be baptized on<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_774379156" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">June 3rd</span></span></span>. That was my first time ever
inviting someone to be baptized on a specific date in the very first contact.
He is awesome. He just had a little baby so we are working on passing him to
the family ward. We are so excited for him.</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

know that God’s children are being prepared all around us to receive this
incredible gospel. I know that it is true. I am so grateful for all who have gone
before who sacrificed so much so I can be here on my mission. I am so grateful
to be here! </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When Elder Rasband came in, he came through the very back doors
very quietly and began shaking everyone's hands. We were on one of the back
rows and so we were able to meet him and shake his hand. It was incredible to
look into his eyes and feel the power of his testimony. As he spoke, I felt it
was perfect for our friend Andy who had joined us. He spoke on the power in the
Resurrection. He talked about how when our loved ones pass on their spirit’s
live on awaiting the resurrection. I know at each of us we're able to receive
so much inspiration that night. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 6.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">My favorite talk was given by Sister Rasband. She spoke about
their chance to serve as Mission president and wife in the New York mission.
She spoke of one Elder who always dreamed of getting his shoes shined at one of
the fancy shoe stations. He had always served in the Bronx and never got close
to one of them. But one day he heard a man calling out "Shoe shine! Shoe
shine! Anyone want a shoe shine!" The Elder rushed over and was met
by a man who once again asked if if he wanted a shoe shine. The Elder was so
excited and then asked "how much will it cost me?" The man said
"as much as you are willing to pay" and then began shinning the
Elders shoe. The Elder soon realized that this shoe shine was much different
then all of the rest. </span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This man did not have all of the fancy equipment or even
a fancy chair. All he had was his spotted shirt and his arm which he used to
finish off the polish. He used a small baby food jar filled with black polish
to create a beautiful shine. She told us of how the Elder quickly related this
to Christ and his remarkable gift to us. He happily goes around saying
"soul shine! Soul shine! Anyone want a soul shine!" As we ask what it
will cost us he asks us to give all that we can. </span></div>

are all waiting for and wishing we could have just like that Elder. I
know that through Christ's Atonement we ALL will be able to shine again. No
matter where we have come from. He only cares where we are going. It has been
so maxing to see that same change in all the people we work with. As we see
them as Children of God with an amazing potential to Shine I know they will
become such incredible lights to all the world. I leave that with you in the
name of Jesus Christ, Amen. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 6.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Hey
everyone! 4/10/17<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I hope
you had a great Palm Sunday yesterday. I never really understood what that
meant until today. I was so amazed when I went to study that I was in the exact
chapter of my reading in the Bible where it happened. In Matthew Ch. 20 Christ
speaks to his followers and then shares with them the fact that He will be
entering Jerusalem to face His death. One of the most amazing things to me of
the whole experience is that as Christ begins to travel he meets a blind man
who calls out to him to be healed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> I think in a time where we all could have been
caught up in our self-pity Christ reaches out and heals the man. One of my
favorite talks from the MTC is called the Character of Christ by Elder Bednar.
He explains that when we all would turn inward Christ turns out ward and looks
at how he can help others. So as we celebrate Christ triumphant return to
Jerusalem we can think of this amazing Love that has never been seen before. I
think Easter is the greatest time to be a missionary because many people truly
celebrate the remarkable gift Christ gave us. The Church has put out a new
Easter video called the Prince of Peace. It is a beautiful video that reminds
us of the great gift we have been given. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

of our friends are preparing for baptism this month. Tony's baptism will be the
week after Easter. He is so excited! He has been telling all of his family and
friends about it and they plan to join us for it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

following week Robin will be getting baptized. She has been investigating off
and on with the missionaries for 3 years now. The whole time she has been doing
studies on her own even if she hasn't been meeting with the missionaries. She
already has a visiting teaching companion and she sings in the ward choir. She
loves being a part of the ward. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

door with a big fluffy cat in her hands. She invited us right in and said she
is very excited to learn about Christ. She understood everything so well. As we
were leaving She asked us what our nicknames are and I said, " well my Dad
calls me cookie" she said okay I'll call you cookie and then sister Von
Savoye said well if she's cookie then I'm brownie. We went back the very next
day for our next lesson she said she told her husband to stay and meet
with cookie and brownie. She is so excited to meet with us and learn about
Christ. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

was a great week! We had lots of rain and even a tornado we didn't know about
until after. After we heard about it we realized we were inside for a lesson
and studies when it happened. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

got to go on an adventure in old town Alexandria. We got lost on the metro
twice which is super funny because we were only one stop away from where we
needed to be. Haha! It was a good adventure. We ran into some members
visiting for spring break and they took us to get ice cream. It was so sweet of
them. They are from Alaska and North Carolina. </span><br />

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">I would
have to say this General Conference was definitely my favorite. I felt like
every talk had just what I needed to hear in it. It could not have come at a
more perfect time for our investigator Tony who we have been teaching for a
while now. He is preparing for baptism
and we recently talked about gaining a testimony of the Prophet. He had the
chance to watch two of the sessions this weekend. He really loved it. He has
really been enjoying the Book of Mormon, too. When we followed up with him, he
could practically lay out all of the story line. I was very impressed. We are
so excited for him. He is making so many changes. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">This
weekend we also had our car fast and it was incredible to see all of the little
miracles along the way. We weren't even a few feet from our apartment when we
ran into a man walking his dog. I had been looking through the area book that
morning and when he introduced himself as Brother Bold I said Hey you have been
working with some friends to get them to church right? He said yes there is a
man I work with that might be interested. We talked with him some more and he
ended up called the friend and leaving a message. Brother Bold excited called
us last night and told us his friend would love to meet with us this week. He
is preparing to get married and would love to learn about eternal marriage.
After that incredible experience we set out on foot up the road four miles to
our lessons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">We ran
into a man named Josh. Having been given the challenge from Sister Huntsman to
go out of our way to talk to 10 people a day, we rushed over to talk with him.
He was such a nice guy and was interested in learning more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">We then
set out on our journey up the road. As we walked we tried to talk with everyone
and even got the chance to eat some lunch on the go. Haha, the best way for a
missionary. We didn't quite calculate the time very well and so maybe only a
mile or two into our journey we felt like we should text the friends we were
meeting with. I really gained a testimony of the Lord’s work at this time when
both of them told us they had other things come up and were able to reschedule
with us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">Now with
time not being so much of a worry we were able to stop and help a lady fix her
bike. Sister Von Savoye was incredibly prepared when she was able to give the
woman a Spanish plan of salvation pamphlet. I am so grateful for her
willingness to follow the spirit and bring one. I am sad to say that earlier
that morning I was not as wise and decided we wouldn't need one. So I left them
all at home. When we heard the talk to follow the first prompting we receive I
know that was Heavenly Father talking right to me. I will commit to you all
that I will now be following every prompting the first time. I won't always
have a companion by my side to help me out. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext" , "serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">It
has been such a great week. I know that the Lord is mindful of each of us and
this great work. General conference has given me a renewed desire to get to
know the Savior better especially by studying the scriptures and reading the Living
Christ. So then when hard times come we too can "stand up on the
inside". I sure love you all! </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text" , "serif"; font-size: 9.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
