first this coming week we have 4 baptisms in our ward. 3 are from me
and sister brown (my trainer, who is awesome) and the 1 is from the
elders in our ward. it will be a very busy and spiritual week. funny
things that happened this week include our investigators girl friend
had her baby yesterday, the girlfriends dad is a transvestite (don't
think i spelt that right, basically a man who dresses and acts like a
women, his name is Jeannette), we are teaching a bi-polar-depressive
mother of 3 who wants to get divorced but cant because she would lose
her kids, and also we teach a family from Nepal who don't understand
half of what we say. lol so basically VA is crazy and i love it:)
well i better let you go i love you and miss you all so much. tell
Greg this is the best thing he could ever do for this family. i only
wish i could have grown up with a righteous priesthood holder:)

so this week was funny! we ended up baptizing all our investigators so
we had to find more and man the Lord answers when you ask. we have 4
progressing investigators this last week. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! i hope
that i can be a tool in the Lords hands to help them along and help
them get to waters of baptism and intern to the highest level of the
Celestial kingdom:)
well i have to say that I'm so thankful for the way the Lord has
prepared my heart and my life for these next 16 months. i had a dream
about some friends i used to have and i almost cried thinking how we
all started at the same point and now are for sure in different
places. i so thankful to my Heavenly Father who has given me the
strength to press forward. i know i wasn't always the best but i know
he saved me from some potentially bad places that would have kept me
from a mission.  i know my Father lives. he is in everything we do. in
one of my favorite movies this man states that he doesn't believe in
God and the other says "but he will always believe in you".
i miss you all and hope everything is well. i still love VA and i pray
this week was just full of the spirit!!!

Dont forget that you are the best example for your kids. all the things you
will do are the things they will see. one of my favorite talks from
conference was by rosemary wixom, she says "if you dont teach you kids
the world will". i know you would never let that happen just stay
close to them. keep being a  good example!!

i want you to know that even though im young i have really come to a knowledge that
my Heavenly Father lives. that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that i
need him every hour every day. i cant do anything with out him. i wish
i had perfect faith like that prophets in the B.O.M. but i just doesn't
happen over night. i struggle every day to find my feet. but some how
i do. some how i make it through the day. some how i find my self
praying for strength instead of getting on a plane back to utah. and
its only because of this gospel. i love it so much. it has given me
everything i am. Ive been thinking alot about this quote "we aren't
human beings having a spiritual experience, but rather spiritual beings
having a human experience" i love you and i miss talking to you. i
hope you can find time to have daily contact with your Heavenly
Father.

thanksgiving was fun we went to our ward mission leaders house. we
helped cook and got permission to watch "suits on the loose" it was so
funny. not the best choice but still good. anyways, we have been
blessed with miracles all week. we set 4 people for baptism in 2 days
it was insane. i love this work so much. i love being here. my
companion and i made it through transfers. so we will be together for
Christmas. so that will be fun.

Dec 20th email

So funny thing is I just heard of The forgotten carols. Hayley told me
that at the same time she had received a cd with on song Let Him In.
What are the odds that,that would happen.

well this week has honestly been
really hard. but it will get better today! we are going to the stake
center the play basketball with a bunch of elders. it will be a nice
brake from the craziness.

Just some updates that I am way behind on

I wondered why I never received a email back well this is why.
