Hello everyone!!

This week has been fantastic!! my new companion is great, the ward is helping out a ton and we have been seeing all sorts of miracles throughout our zone! I can say it was a little intimidating to have this much responsibility this soon in my mission but it has helped me grow so much! I find the best way to get through tough times is to read the scriptures and without fail I always find help and counsel on the specific things I have been thinking about or going through! my new companion Elder Coons is probably the coolest elder I have met on my mission, he is a powerful teacher and he and i get along very very well. We work super hard and smile all day long! We taught so many lessons this week for our area, 11 other lessons with 3 member present lessons!! We have about 3 amazing investigators right now that are progressing very well. I love seeing the change in investigators lives as they keep the commitments we extend. This week our apartment is being renovated, so there are plastic sheets hanging everywhere, we literally have no kitchen. They tore all the walls down! There is wood everywhere. I am so excited for when it is over though because we will have all new appliances and a washer and dryer for us!!! We wont have to pay for them anymore!!!! I say it over and over again but i know this church is true! It really is! The Gospel of Jesus Christ needed to be restored, not changed and reformed to a good enough version, it needed to be literally brought back by the hand of God in its purity. And my testimony is that it has. I love you all and the amazing examples that have been set for me! I hope to hear from all of you! Until next week! ( sorry I am in a hurry again this week...got more things to do)!
