Hey all!

Well another week has flown by and now we are into the last week of the transfer!! Just yesterday I turned 6 months!! It's crazy how time flies. Saturday was Elder Bednar's visit and Elder Jay Jensen of the Presidency of the Seventy was there as well. A few days before the meeting, the mission gave us two articles for us to read by Elder Bednar They were "Ask in Faith" and "Seek Learning by Faith". I suggest you guys take a look at these because they are really good. The meeting was informal and he asked us what we learned and also asked us questions about other things, so it was very interactive. One of my favorite things is that we need to act and not just be acted upon. So we need to act on the things we are taught and also when the Spirit is prompting us to do something we need to act on it. Another thing is when you are praying for us to find someone to teach, you need to be praying for Heavenly Father to help you get up and find someone for us to teach. He said we shouldn't be asking Heavenly Father to do our job! At the end of the meeting we all got to go up and shake his hand. It was pretty amazing to shake his hand and to feel the spiritual power that he has. He truly is an apostle of God. On Sunday, Elder Jensen spoke to the West Stake and that was amazing as well.

Yesterday, because I turned 6 months, I burned a tie! I have some pics that I will attach. Our investigators are still doggin' us and we can't ever get a time that we can meet with them.... but, oh well, that's missionary life for ya! Well I love you all and miss you guys! Have a great week!

What's your companion's name again?
Elder Caldwell from Gunnison UT and has been out about 9 months

Did you see Dallas De Priest when Elder Bednar was here?
Yep I saw him at transfers back in February and Saturday during the visit. It was cool, because the whole mission came down for it.

P.S. P-day next week is on Tuesday
