<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">So here's what's been going on in Wyoming!<br /><br />This week has been a trying one for sure. We did finally come to the conclusion to drop our investigators because they weren't progressing. The beginning of the week was pretty discouraging but we buckled down and brainstormed some ideas, talked to our ward mission leader, and also our bishop for some time. I went to the Lord in prayer early in the week and made a promise with him. It was if I did my absolute best with my obedience that he would help us find someone new to teach. I got a confirmation that he agreed to my request from the spirit. It's been amazing to see the blessings he's giving us the past 2 or 3 days with 6 referrals and members inviting friends to dinner that we were able to teach. When we wrote down our actual goals we accomplished this week I was really please with how much work we were able to do even though it felt like we had nothing to work with. The Lord truly does answer prayers!<br /><br />Elder Ehlert and I are doing great! We have such a strong relationship and get along pretty much all the time. Heavenly Father has definitely been blessing us for the unity in our efforts together to serve our Savior. I think the coolest thing with our companionship is how much we both love helping people and we'll do whatever we can to succeed in this process.<br /><br />Personal study has been going great. I've made a goal this week to study out of The Book of Mormon, The Bible, and PMG everyday and have been doing a good job with that goal.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">So a pretty funny thing happened while we were waaaay far out of town. We were going to see a less active member that lives probably 25 minutes out of town going 60mph. Idk how many miles but it takes a while. It's so far out the highway turns into a dirt road and there is absolutely nothing out here except ranches and farms. Right as we make the last turn before her house there's a herd of cattle coming against us being moved to a ranch about 2 miles up the road. It's really easy going against the grain in a car through a bunch of cows so that wasn't to bad. We did get to see Sister Allred but she doesn't really want us teaching her or helping her with anything so we weren't there very long. So this is the fun part! The dang cows weren't even half way to the ranch yet so I had to manuver my way through the dang cows again but they're not looking backwards so they don't want to move! I sure did it though with no kicks, licks, or poo on the car (well there was poo on the tires)!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Elder Ehlert now has taught me how to draw bodies! So here's a picture of captain morgan! He took me step by step but I actually drew it! Woo! Also Elder Ehlert and I both after a dinner appointment we had our ears sucked clean of whatever junk is in our ears?? It felt so weird but it was awesome! Sister Ryberg calls them ear candles probably for a good reason after you see the picture!</span><br />

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;"><br />We were able to attend ward council this week with our ward mission leader and I'm very grateful for that opportunity we had. Like I said earlier, we talked to the bishop and our ward mission leader about how the work is going and some ideas we could start implementing and because of that in ward council not only I but our ward mission leader and the bishop all were able to testify that we need to follow the advice we received from stake conference and unity the efforts of the full-time missionaries and the ward members to see a change in the progression of the work in our area. It was a very powerful meeting with such a strong spirit.<br /><br />The most spiritual experience I've had this week was last night when we were teaching a guy named Ryan at our dinner appointment. His wife and daughter are members but he's been holding off and hasn't been to interested with us teaching him. So I knew this was a rare chance we had to invite the spirit into his life to testify of the truths we teach. We taught the Plan of Salvation and had great involvement from Brother and Sister Andersen and their kids and also Ryan's daughter asked some great questions. At the end of the lesson I was able to bare a strong witness of the lesson, The Book of Mormon, and Jesus Christ as our savior with the spirit the strongest I've felt in a very long time. I know it's because I have been working hard to strive for exact obedience and Heavenly Father has blessed me with an abundance of his spirit to be with me as a consequence.<br /><br />I've loved this week and hope I will be able to keep it in my memory forever. I've learned so much and been able to grow to a new level. I've relearned and grown a stronger love for this work and a love for serving my savior.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So what's going on up here? Well for me I'm really excited as of now about how the work is progressing in the area. After Jacob's baptism I realized we don't have any solid progressing investigators. I was put down that afternoon feeling like there wasn't much I could do but I asked Elder Ehlert for a blessing of comfort and we went out to find people Sunday prayerfully and faithfully seeing some success!</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We may be dropping S here soon. She's more than willing to learn about the gospel all day long but she doesn't act on anything we're asking her to do. She's been sick this week so we haven't been able to meet with her.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We may also be dropping T as well but we're going to try to see her at least one more time to see if there's been any changes in her since she went to her brothers baptism. The spirit was so incredibly strong during that baptismal meeting I can't imagine her not wanting to learn more. We'll just have to wait and see.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Elder Ehlert and I are doing the best work we've ever done together. We're having great mornings, effective studies, we're busy most all days, and most importantly I think is that we're trying new things and involving the members in our finding efforts now. The Lord has definitely been a helping hand in our area this past week.</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The most spiritual experience this week was definitely Jacob's baptism. During any baptism the spirit is so strong but I loved this one first of all because Jacob finally made the choice to be baptized, but his parents and sister and two family friends came and I know they felt the spirit! It was so incredible to see someone I love and have been teaching for almost 5 months now finally make that covenant with Heavenly Father!</span><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I Love you guys!!</span></span><br />

We're going on a road trip next Thursday the 30th to Rapid City, South Dakota to have a quad zone conference. There's going to be a lot of missionaries there so I'm pretty excited! Oh and my MTC companion is in Buffalo, Wy now! I get to see him on Fridays when we have district meetings! It's way cool to catch up and see how much we've grown!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;">Me- HIIIII!! :) YOU'RE THE BEST! Hahaha :) Check it out!<br /><br />So we've been seeing small but more consistent blessings in our area this past week. We've been really working on our obedience and trying to become as perfect as we can be and I can notice a huge difference in the area in the people we've been finding and the power in my own personal teaching. We've been able to find and teach former investigators that I found in the Area Book from a couple years ago. We're finding more less-actives with potential to come back. We're also using our time wisely and limiting the visits or dropping those who aren't progressing anymore.<br /><br />Jacob is doing amazing! He's had some hurdles thrown at him this week that potentially could have hindered him from his baptism this Saturday but he recognized that it was Satan in his life trying to distract him and make him angry but he overcame it and couldn't be doing better! He also gave me a sheath knife for my birthday! It's legit. I actually have 4 knives now. I don't know how I ended up with so many but it's cool. :)</span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;"><br /><br />In my personal studies I've been reading the New Testament. I finished Acts last weekend and I'm now in Romans chp. 11. I read the talk called "Missionary Work and the Atonement" by Elder Holland this morning out of the Leadership Binder. I really liked how much he stressed the importance of making sure our investigators and ourselves have faith in our Savior and his atonement and to testify of both frequently.<br /><br />My favorite spiritual experience this week was when we were walking back to our car after a lesson with a lady in a heath care center we walked past a lady we was sitting on a bench outside by herself. We got into the car and I couldn't stop thinking about this lady so I told Elder Ehlert, "You see that lady on the bench there? I feel like we need to go talk to her and give her a Book of Mormon". I really liked Elder Ehlert's response, he perked up, opened the door and said, "let's go then"! So we went over and talked to her, she said she was Catholic and was going to stay that way but I persisted and kept talking to her and found out her son is a member and eventually gave her a Book of Mormon. We also were able to say a prayer with her then we left. I felt so good and happy that I listened to the spirit to give this lady a Book of Mormon!<br /><br />I love you mi familia!<br /><br />Elder Autrey<br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">Mom: Ouch! You know you're not supposed to fall off ladders?? It doesn't feel too great. I was painting this week too! Weird, eh? Elder Ehlert and I painted a lady in the ward's shed. It was a medium sized shed but we knocked it out in just 2 hours! It was sweet! So I assume you get the lease signed since you're painting? That's sweet! How's band going for Sam? Is the show this year legit or nah?</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">Alannah: Hey soul sister...ain't no something something...on the radio..blah blah i don't remember. Haha :) I'm glad work's going great! That's legit you made a goal! We played soccer a couple weeks ago with all the Elders in the Stake when we went down to Gillette for zone conference. I'm pretty bad I found out. :) But it was still fun!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">I do have a couple ideas. So in that same chapter in PMG, chp 5. There's a section that says the Book of Mormon answers questions of the soul. You can ask her some of those questions and see which one she wants to know, then testify that you know the answer and the only way you know is because of the Book of Mormon. But it really doesn't matter what you say because if you have the desire to share the gospel, even if you don't know what to say Heavenly Father will help you know exactly what people needs to hear. My Branch President in the MTC told me something that's stuck with me, "when people feel your love for them, you can never be too bold". You're wanting to share the gospel because you know how much it will help them in their life, you love them and want to have the same blessings you have. There's nothing you can say that will offend if you do it with love. I've put that to the test and I know it's true. I'm not really a bold person but this one particular time I was more concerned for these peoples eternal salvation than what they thought of me. The very next day they changed their life and started living the commandments. But remember people have their agency so don't get bummed if they decline. We're successful as we invite people to know, to give them the opportunity to use their agency.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">Now with the Book of Mormon referencing Lord, I heard once that if it's meaning Heavenly Father then it's written in all caps "LORD" and Jesus is "Lord". Not positive though. Either way they're both great people to underline! ;) haha</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">Dad: That's so awesome that Heavenly Father blessed us with this home! It's exactly what we've needed. I'm glad the Relief Society is taking good care of you! Tell them hello for me and thank you for taking care of my family! That's so cool you were able to get the white suit that way! I wish I could get all my clothes that way! So do you help with endowments, initiatory, baptisms, or D: all of the above or E: none of these? That's so cool that you're a Temple worker though! I'm pretty jealous but my patriarchal blessing says I'll be one later in life so I'll get my turn!</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">This is what's been going on with meeeeee!<br /><br />The area seems to be taking a turn to focus on more on bringing less-active members back to activity. The great thing about this new wave of excitement is that the members are the most involved they've ever been with helping us with missionary work. We're having a member from every auxiliary coming fairly consistently to our missionary correlation meeting along with our ward missionaries. The Bishop even made it out to the meeting yesterday for one of the first times.<br /><br />Jacob got back into town last Thursday and he couldn't be doing any better! He's committed himself to finishing the Book of Mormon by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_972490596" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">October 18th</span></span>. At the rate he's going though, he should be done by the 6th or sooner. We've committed him to be baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_972490597" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">October 11th</span></span>. The last lesson we had with him was about your training you gave us last zone conference about why God requires his ordinances, which led into a very powerful ending about eternal families.<br /><br />Tori, Jacob's sister hasn't met with us this past week. She loves the lessons but she just doesn't have the desire to change, I believe. We got a couple ideas from the district of how we can help her find her own desire to act on what she's learning that we're going to try out.<br /><br />We have a new investigator named Susan! We've been doing service for her for quite some time but just recently we were able to get in with her. We taught her the Restoration and left her a commitment to read the introduction, the 3 and 8 witnesses, and Joseph Smith's testimony. We'll be following up with her this week.<br /><br />Elder Ehlert and I are doing great together. I'm so impressed with how much he knows and how much he can remember! He knows so much about the gospel and how to tailor it into individuals lives which is why he is such a powerful teacher.<br /><br />In personal study, I've been reading the Book of Mormon a lot more and can see the difference in how effective my days are compared to when I study from something else. I'm still trying to find that perfect balance to study from the Book of Mormon, the Bible, Preach my Gospel, and some talks.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">We've been doing a lot more service this week. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_972490598" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Saturday</span></span> we helped lay sod in a members yard about 7200 sq ft. That was pretty fun! Then we ran over to the food bank and ate some home made camping beans, hot dogs, and hamburgers that Dan made. We helped him unload a truck or donations he got from Wal-Mart. Then we ran over to the church to help a member clean it. We did all that from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_972490599" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">9am</span></span> and got done at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_972490600" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">1:30pm</span></span>. Missionaries are pretty efficient workers! Haha :)</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">Transfers are coming up on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_972490601" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">October 11th</span></span>. I'm thinking I'll probably be leaving this time. Elder Ehlert will be done with his training and if I follow how Elder Richards left then this is the one. I'll get the call that morning though if I am leaving and will drive out that <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_972490602" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">next Monday</span></span>. So if you don't get an email from me on the 13th then I got transferred!</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: orange;">I love you guys so much! I'm so excited that you got the new house and everything's working out for you!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Here's what I've been up to:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">We've had a decline with our investigators the past couple weeks but the work has still been progressing. We decided since we don't have many investigators to teach, that we'll focus on finding and working with less-active members and bringing them back. We saw some great results this week with four new less actives who came to church! We've also been teaching the members (focusing on the youth) the Restoration lesson and then challenging them to teach us the Restoration lesson our next visit. These have been super successful and a great way to teach children how they can gain their own testimony and practice teaching!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">We saw one investigator this week. Tori is actually Jacob's sister another one of our investigators. She's sat in a couple lessons we've had with Jacob and started gaining an interest. We taught he the Restoration with one of her friends Lana, who turned out to be a less-active member in our ward who we've been trying to find! I asked her the question, "What would it mean to you if Christ's original church, that he set up, was back here on the Earth again today?" She said the best two words I've ever heard, "It is" then later said "I'm here with you aren't I?". I know the spirit's working with her and some amazing things are about to come forth soon!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Robin is out in Minnesota about to have a part of his Liver removed. We need to call him and check on how he's doing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Jacob is out of town for work. He hasn't been talking to us much since he's left. He comes home for only 2 weeks at a time and is then out of town again for 5 weeks. There's not much time to see him anymore so we need to be creative to help him bring the spirit into his life consistently.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">A spiritual experience I had this week was during Sacrament meeting. We had 4 less-active members in attendance and I felt the need to get up and bear my testimony. I talked about the Book of Mormon and how it's changed my life and how it can resolve any question we have about the church and even life itself. I've challenged myself to bear my testimony once a day and I've seen a great increase in how much stronger my testimony has grown the past couple weeks.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">The Ward Council is doing great! We're now having representatives from most auxiliaries coming out to our missionary correlation meeting. The desires in the ward to help us has been increasing tremendously and has definitely been a blessing for us. We can't do anything or make any progress without the ward's help! Members are essential in missionary work!</span></div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 13px;">One super fun thing we did this week was the mud sludge! My job was to make sure people didn't drown in the mud at my station. No one did! :) Success! Then we were able to run the course. It was a 5K with a ton of obstacles at the rodeo fairgrounds. So we had to climb up hay bails, over barn walls, under fences, under logs, crawl through poop infested horse pins! It was sweet! And we did it all in our slacks and white shirts and ties! (Salvation Army clothes) And all that while covered in mud! It was AWESOME!!! :)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Our ward is doing so great! We're seeing such a huge success with members coming out with us to lessons now. Whether they're with investigators, less-active members, or the member's home teaching family. Having a member testify is one of the most powerful things I've ever experienced. We officially now have an assistant ward mission leader which is so helpful. Now we don't have to dump everything on Brother Doyle so that's going to be a huge help for him and us.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">We struggled this week to be able to teach our investigators. I think Robin is trying to avoid us at this moment in time. He came to church two weeks ago and I think it either reminded him of his past or it was too different from his past experiences at church that he's used to. So we're keeping daily contact with him over the phone but still trying to get back into his home.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">Jacob has been working out of town this week and then we he came home for the weekend he went camping with his family. All we could do was keep calling him and see how he's doing. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: lime;">We're having an open house at the church in two weeks and are expecting a pretty decent sized turn out. Last time this area had a church tour a family was baptized. I'm super excited to see what success we can see from this!</span></span></div>

We had our exchanges this week and I learned quite a bit from Elder Nicholas. I think Elder Ehlert really learned to appreciate how well he's got it here in Sheridan after going up to Ranchester. He's learning to love the people here which is super important in keeping the members desires to continuing to do missionary work.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">We now have an Assistant Ward Mission Leader! He is incredible and I can't wait to see what more he can add to this area. We've been stressing the Progress Record with our Ward Mission Leader the past month and have seen a noticeable increase in the desires of the ward to help out with feeding us and coming out on splits with us. We're finally starting to get some referrals again. We've be struggling with finding people to teach this month but I think it's starting to turn around now.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">Jacob has been on-date about 3 times now. He doesn't like to be rushed or pressured but I know he still needs a small push. We've been working with him for 3 months now. He has been taught all the lessons and has great support from his wife who is a member. He just wants to finish reading the Book of Mormon before he's baptized.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">The Sisters met Robin at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago. They referred him to us since he's living in our area. We've taught him the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation and read the Introduction and testimonies of the 3 and 8 witnesses in the Book of Mormon. He came to church with us 2 weeks ago but had a "wishy washy" experience. He enjoyed the first talk but we had a musical number that he thought was really loud. He said all the people and kids walking around in Sacrament meeting really distracted him. So we've been trying to get back in contact with him this past week but he's been sick. We're planning on talking to him about church next time we see him though.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">We were able to give a blessing to two less-active members this week. They went really well and helped one man come closer to his parents. During exchanges, we taught Jacobs wife and her sister Faith about virtue, and hope. The spirit took over and we ended up teaching the word of wisdom. We committed them both to stop drinking tea and coffee which they have been successfully accomplishing thus far.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">We're excited with the upward progression in the area but we definitely have some things to work on like always. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">I love you!</span><br />

Good thing I wrote in my journal! So yeah. Typing here I come!</span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Sunday the 3rd- Today was a long sabbath day! We went and gave a lady in the hospital who lives in Buffalo a blessing. We left then came back and gave her the sacrament. We then had a really good correlation meeting with the ward missionaries. We introduced the new & returning member goal sheet. It is fast Sunday so we were blessed with hearing the wards testimonies in sacrament meeting. I love this ward so much. The spirit is so strong here. After church we had the linger longer to break our fast. We were able to talk with Sister Hodnett a bit. She asked me to role play with her and asked why families are so important. So I taught the plan of salvation. She was able to pick some points out that said really helped. I'm glad she did because I couldn't think of anything real specific for her. The BYU-Idaho dance team had their devotional tonight. They talked about the word "remember" which lead to the importance of family history. Several of them gave stories of their ancestors that really brought the spirit super strong. We talked to some of the dance members after and after hearing their testimonies and talking I've committed 100% to marrying an lds girl. They're the best in the world!!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Monday- We went up to tongue river canyon with Elder Johnson and Rasmussen and the old BIshop Workmen in 2nd ward. That was fun but tiring. We got in trouble with Sister Taylor because we didn't invite them...dumb. We emailed and shopped and did all that fun stuff. We had dinner at the Hoopes house. Elder Ethan Hoopes leaves for the Mexico MTC on Wednesday. We talked about the importance of missionary work since he's about to leave. We went to talk to Erin for a couple minutes to see if everyone's still alive. We haven't heard from them in 2 days which is abnormal! We went to Kendrick Park and ran into all the other missionaries. That was fun. Brother Doyle is stepping up his game. It's so awesome!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Tuesday- A couple leaves are starting to change color and fall off the trees. I'm not ready for winter! We talked to Jack Stec today. Had a short but sweet lesson with him about John <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2117234492" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">14:27</span></span>. We got a pizza from Papa Murpheys for lunch and finished the left overs for dinner. We had Sister Brenda Hodnett come out to see Claudine today. That was super great to see them click. Sister Hodnett brought her computer so Claudine was finally able to communicate a little better. We gave her a blessing which made both her and Sister Hodnett cry. We went tracting out in the middle of no where. We talked to a lady named Sheri for a while. She was raised in Rexburg, Idaho and knew a lot about the church. She's ever read a bit from the Book of Mormon. She didn't seem too interested until we offered our services to help do house work or what not. She took our number and said she has a friend who needs help too! Awesome! That's the most success I've ever seen from tracting. Ethan Hoopes and Jacob Bellus came out with us tonight. We talked to a guy we helped move into their home a couple months ago and then talked to Jacob about Family History. We set him up an account but didn't know much to do after that. He quits his chew this Friday! Cross your fingers!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Wednesday- After studies and lunch today we were planning to go to the food bank today but it was cancelled because no food truck came. So instead we went to Wal-mart and got Elder Ehlert a bike! When we got back we talked to a guy who was walking in front of our apartment. We talked a bit and found out he's interested in the church. We gave him our number so I hope he'll give us a call soon. We saw Sister Gilmore and talked to her about Family History again. We then went over to William's house and read the Book of Mormon. He's really improving with his doctrine! We had dinner at the Doyle's house and talked a ton about missionary experiences! It was so cool to see them so excited about it. Then after diner we went to the family history center with Brother Doyle and Sister Gilmore and tried to start out S. Gilmore's Family Search account. We didn't have much success with her but we did help out B. Doyle a ton! His chart filled up like crazy!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Thursday- Today was weekly planning day, bridge call day, AND area call day! WOO! We didn't get outside until 3:30 today... So lame. We went to see Robin at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2117234493" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">3:30</span></span>. We taught two commandments, pray often and scripture study and then the Plan of Salvation. He seemed to have a pretty good grasp of this lesson as well. He said he still hasn't read the Book of Mormon so we read the introduction and the testimonies of the 3 and 8 witnesses. He really enjoyed those. Then I invited him to be baptized and he said he would! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2117234494" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">September 27th</span></span> is the date. The Duffey's had us over for dinner and we taught them about eternal families, temples, and family history work. Then we hung out with Jacob & Erin for the rest of the night and taught them about virtue. We got ice cream! :) He's quitting chew tomorrow night so I'm pretty pumped! Baptism is not far away!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Friday- Today after studies and 12 week training program with Elder Ehlert we went of by Jacob & Erin's house and brought them toilet paper rolls for this craft project Erin's doing and jalapenos for Jacob. We ended up staying for lunch so I ate probably five biscuits and three bowls of cereal. Free food is the best! We then had district meeting and talked about family history work again. After, we gave Brother Doyle a blessing. He's been pretty sick lately so it was cool to be able to do that for him. We then went back to Jacob & Erin's house and helped them move stuff around. I also brought up baptism with him again and let him know that he could be baptized whenever he wants now. We're going to give him a blessing tomorrow to help him overcome his addiction and to see if he would like to be baptized next Saturday. Sister Peterson had us over for dinner again. Her food was incredible like usual. We had the famous "HAM"burgers again. It's a burger patty with bacon inside the patty! It's so good! We talked to her about family history and asked her to find a story about a pioneer ancestor.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Saturday- We gave Jacob & Erin blessings this morning to help overcome his chew addiction. Then we helped Elder Johnson and Elder Rasmussen with a member who's moving. We got free pizza so I was happy! Then we got called by 2nd ward who was called by the mission office to give a man a blessing who's in the hospital. So we did that then went and talked to the Longhursts about her neighbor Ciara to try to introduce her to family history. We stopped by the Rybergs and said hello. Then we tried to see William but there were people outside his door so we didn't og see him because he might have got into trouble if we came. So we went and saw Robin. He was asking quite a few questions about tithing so we taught a lesson about tithing and fast offerings. The Bujan's had us over for dinner. We committed them to finding a story about a pioneer in their family. 2nd ward had a baptism for Gaile today. Then we went to Jacob & Erin's and med Erin's little sister Faith.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;">Being a trainer is super awesome! I've had so much responsibility put on me and didn't really know if I was ready but out of all the lessons we've had this week I realized I'm more than ready. The spirit was so strong during one particular lesson and I was looking up scripture after scripture (which is crazy because I think I have like 2 scriptures memorized :p) and answering every question thrown at me. I just knew the spirit was there helping me out! Yeah I'm still here in Sheridan, the best city in America! My new companion is named Elder Ehlert. He's 6'3", 18 years old, part Viking apparently?, he's from Salt Lake the heart of the missionary factory, but the think I like most about him is how super smart he is! He knows so much about the church and can teach so incredibly well. He's so great!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;">I love those lessons where you just talk straight from your heart. They're always the best and the spirit is able to work on people so much better that way because you're testifying pretty much the entire time!</span></span></div>

We've been asked to focus on family history this month so I've been looking up family history a lot! OH MUH GOSH I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING I HAVE TO SHOW YOU! So I was looking up a story about Edward Partridge and it totally makes sense why I'm here in Sheridan!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">"Whatever his motivation, the legacy continued with his family. Among his living monuments is an unbroken line of bishops and other Church leaders to the present day. Two living General Authorities—Elder James E. Faust and Elder S. Dilworth Young—claim his ancestry. Tangible monuments to Edward Partridge are the old and new Church office buildings in Salt Lake City, the architects of which were a grandson (Don Carlos Young), and a great-grandson (George Cannon Young), respectively. Furthermore, Edward’s descendants played a prominent role in colonizing Millard and San Juan counties in Utah, and the <strong><em><u>Big Horn Basin in Wyoming</u></em></strong>.[That's Sheridian!!!!!] But the greatest Partridge legacy is intangible—the “steadfastness and patient endurance” that face hardship, trials, and adversity without flinching."</span></span></div>

Nothing real big but there just weren't many problems or disturbances which was kind of strange. It just felt like a goodbye week. We went down to Story, Wy earlier this week to help a lady move BUT she hired movers so we couldn't help because of legal stuff with the company so we went down to this fish hatchery down the street and looked at fish! Story is SUPER pretty! SISTER DUFFY GOT BAPTIZED!!! It was soooo amazing!! She asked me to do the confirmation which was so cool! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;">That's so sweet you're trying to get to the temple every week! That's what I've been planning on doing once I get home to try and go once a week. We have the Billings, Montana temple but it's not in our mission boundaries so the only temple we could ever go to is the Bismark, ND. So I probably won't be able to go to the temple for 2 years but hey, I'm called to do the work for the living, not the dead.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;">I'm hand writing a letter but I haven't been able to finish it quite yet, but that letter Mom sent about Sam bearing his testimony was THE GREATEST thing I've ever read in my life. I'm so happy his faith is growing in the church. That made me so happy I can't even describe it. I'm so glad I'm able to be that example for him.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;">We're teaching a TON of people now! We broke up with Matt because he can't get rid of his alcohol addiction and he lost his desire. Sister Duffy is getting baptized <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_640536889" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Saturday</span></span>!! I'll have pictures next week! :) We're teaching a 19 year old named Jacob who has this adorable little girl named Cammy! I told him if him and his wife ever get a divorce that I'll be in court with them to try and get custody of her! He'll be done with the lessons this week as well! Hopefully he'll want to be baptized sooner than he does now. He told us he wants to read the entire Book of Mormon before he's baptized, which is fine but I think he'll figure it out faster than that. We'll see. :) We met a guy named William probably 2 weeks ago now, he was being taught be the missionaries in Colorado but then moved here. We finished up the lessons with him but he's struggling a bit with some things, so he has to wait a little until he can be baptized. We taught Chris, who's about 26, the Restoration about 2 weeks ago as well. We've been trying to get a date to come back and teach his wife as well. He finally got back with us <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_640536890" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span> and said we can come over next week!

We went back about a week after to see how she's doing and said she feels amazing and during the blessing she felt a beam of light go through her body. We told her we can explain what that was so we're going back to teach her next week! Yesterday while I was on exchanges in Ranchester, our investigator William brought a friend and his friends wife to church. His friend is related to Sidney Rigdon, still has the same last name, and is very aware of it hahaha :) But we're going to go teach them sometime this week now. And FINALLY one of our ward missionaries has been working with her friend Tonya, who used to be a member but is wanting to come back to church and be taught by the missionaries. But not just her, her husband is super interested as well! So we're potentially working with about 10 people here! Which is HUGE because when I arrived here 3 months ago, we just had Matt. Heavenly Father has really been helping us out. But the members have been such a big part of this I can't even say enough how much I love this ward!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3;">We were in a bed race <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_640536891" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span>. The city blocked off main street and we raced these homemade bad car things. It was so fun but exhausting! We got a new car! :) A 2014 Toyota Corolla! It's super nice and fancy! While I was in Ranchester, we drove out to this farming community and got attacked by demon chickens! That was awesome! Oh also in Ranchester this little boy made these Minecraft things out of beads. So I had to take a picture for Tate! I told him Tate was an admin and he thought that was super cool. We also caught an albino rabbit BUT forgot to lock the door on the cage so it got away...</span></div>

Time is flying by so fast! We went up to the Equestrian center/ Polo fields where they had a huge fireworks show. I think the entire town of Sheridan was there! It was awesome!! We've been teaching a lot! We became like best friends with this part member family. They're only 19 and have a 6mo old baby girl. Erins a member but Jacobs not so we're teaching him. He's just about done with the lessons but he wants to finish reading the Book of Mormon before he's baptized. They read it together every night and pray and they've now been coming to church faithfully for 3 weeks now! :D He came to 2nd hour for the first time yesterday. We taught them 3 times last week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and we're going again tonight. So every other day hanging out with friends and teaching the gospel! Not a bad deal! :D</span><br />

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Sister Duffy's doing great as well! We taught her twice last week and she just has a couple commandments left until she's done with the lessons as well. She has her baptism interview this Friday and is getting baptized next Saturday on the 19th!! She tells us after almost every lesson our parents must be so proud of us as she's crying. It's the coolest thing. Next week is my last week of training then Elder Richards is probably leaving me... :( but I'll get over it I guess. I'm totally copied & pasted this from Alannah's email because I don't want to type it out again. I actually do that a lot. :) I wonder if anyone has noticed yet :p</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I met a crazy guy that travels the U.S. in his car recording cops on video and recording devices to catch them abusing their powers and putting them in jail. This dude was a nut. I have 3 videos of him giving speeches to my companion and I about the world and church and what he does. He calls himself Saint Herkster.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Anyway's I've been being safe and being a good boy. Having a blast! Sheridan is probably the best place in the world! There's always stuff going on. There was a car show this week. It was so sick! There was a ton of super nice old cars. GTO's, mustangs, just sweet hot rods, but they also had some SWEET modern cars. There was a decked out 2014 Camero, a 2008 Dodge Viper, 2014 Stingray Corvette. I was loving it! It was 100 degrees that day though so it was a little rough.</span><br />

We started out with lunch at the Rib & Chop with Dan Lick who runs the food bank and the Sisters and the Second ward Elders. I had a Buffalo Burger this time (Last time I had a Yak Burger). Pretty sweet! Then we went to the park and taught Peter the bird the Restoration while he was eating bugs. Then his friend James the bird came after we finished so we taught them both the Plan of Salvation. We asked them both if they would be baptized and they started chirping like crazy so I'd take that as a yes! :) We went to unload the truck at the food bank again at 4. As we were finishing, the Sisters called and said that Jacob and Erin want to have us over for dinner. So the Sisters picked us up, we changed back into our Proselyting clothes in 2 minutes and 10 seconds, then went over! We befriended them both and will be meeting with them again soon! Jacob is now officially an Investigator!! Erin is already a member! :D WOO! haha Right after that dinner we went to our already planned dinner with Sister Rousch (this older lady who had a potential </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">investigator over as well. We had a HUGE thanksgiving dinner for some reason but it was super good. We then taught Christ eh Restoration. It was a super good lesson and he wants us to come over and teach him some more. So that's 2 new investigators today!! We now have 5 investigators! Matt, Susan, Patricia, Jacob and Chris! The ward has really been stepping up their game recently and it's making everything so much easier! I love this area so much! Evelyn called us yesterday! She read the first chapter of the Book of Mormon finally! She's going to Dallas on the 1st for a week which is totally making me jealous. So not fair... We told her we'd take her and some friends skydiving after our missions so that'll be fun if it happens!</span></span><br />

It's weekly planning day so we were at home the majority of the day which is no fun at all. We realized we need to kick it into gear with Sister Duffy! She only has 3 more weeks until her baptism date! I'm so excited!! Elder Johnson and Rucker came over for lunch and brought salads they got from the food bank yesterday. They were actually pretty good. We then continued planning for an hour then we helped them move this guy in their ward. We saw Sister Gilmore real quick after we were done with that and read her this story about a blind horse and another horse that has a bell. We ate some super good pork ribs at the Yates house. It started raining and it was only <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1698800430" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8 o'clock</span></span> and had no one left to see so we went up to 5th street, headed east, and just went as far as we could on our bikes. We took a bunch of sweet pictures out in the grass fields and on the train tracks. Then booked it back home down the hill! It was such a great way to end the day!</span></span></div>

He actually put us to work loading up trailers. We unpacked his shed and put it on two trailers for him because he lost his home so now he's going to live in his camper. His kidneys are failing him so he's just slowly trucking along. It started pouring when we were finishing up so we just rode our bikes home since we were already drenched. We beat a train coming which was fun. (We were already at the crossing when the bars started coming down so don't freak out mom) :) It started hailing as well so it just wasn't a day that was nice to missionaries. We come home and accidentally fell asleep for and hour..we felt pretty bad about that. Then right as we were about to head out the door again because the weather cleared up, it starts storming really bad again. So we waited some more until it finally cleared up then we went to go see Laura ( the lady with cancer who we gave a blessing to) to check up on her and see how she's doing. She told us she feels perfect, find, nothings wrong. She said during the blessing she felt a beam of light go through her body. She's going back to the doctor on Monday so we're going to come back next week and explain what she felt and teach the restoration. Another new investigator! Then almost at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1698800432" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">9pm</span></span> as we were walking home, we were right across the street from our apartment and Matt is whistling at us from the Wells Fargo parking lot. We run over to him, see what's going on and talk a bit, then a jeep pulls up with a guy in it. He asked, "Where's the LDS church around here?" So I told him, then we got talking and got his information and gave him ours. His name's William. Turns out he was being taught by the missionaries in Colorado and is half a lesson away from being able to be baptized! So we're going to finish him up on the lessons! ANOTHER new investigator! That's 4 new Investigators this week! I don't know why the work is picking up now but I can't complain, it's so great being out here doing the Lord's work.</span></span></div>

We had 3 investigators at church 2 weeks in a row now!! :) The talks were super super good! We didn't have a dinner but the Bujans saw us after church, like way after church when no one was there anymore an invited us over for dinner! I love our ward! They're the best! :D So we now have 7 investigators total and have Sister Duffy and William on date for the 19th and the 20th. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">So we got 4 new investigators this week which is HUGE for this area. We now have 7 total that we're working with. 2 of them are getting baptized on the 19th and then the 20th!! This week flew by so I'm glad I wrote in my journal because I don't remember any of it. We went to the labyrinth again this morning and I taught a little experience about love to the other elders. They said the spirit was super strong in that moment so that was cool i guess.</span></span></div>

We went to the library to make some flyers to give to people that have the answers to the questions of the soul that we can find in the Book of Mormon. I was going to the bathroom in the library and walked past a room called the "Wyoming Room". I grabbed Elder RIchards so we could check it out. It was a room with a ton of cool historical junk that just really sparked my interest. </span></div>

lady Susan L who we helped move a couple weeks earlier. We talked for about 2 and she said she wants to check out our church now. We're actually going to help her build some book shelves in a hour and teach her a lesson. So we finally found a new investigator!! After we were done talking with her we explored the park some more and found a labyrinth! Haha we went through it this morning right before we came here to email and had some super cool and spiritual experiences and learned A TON! Those things are great to just slow down and reflect on life.</span></div>

She was just diagnosed with a severe type of cancer and is pretty worried. So we went over and Brother Bujans gave such an amazing blessing. He was crying during most of it. So was Laura. The spirit was so so so strong during the blessing and everyone in the room could feel his presence. Afterwards she gave us all hugs and said she was so thankful for us coming over! The thing that really touched us was her husband. He is retired Navy and just this super tough guy but her broke down and cried during the blessing and afterwards as well he came and gave all 3 of us these super big hugs and said thank you with the most sincerity I've probably ever heard. Laura invited another friend over who is of the Jewish faith to give her a blessing as well. It was pretty interesting to see that prayer she gave in Hebrew and then the different reactions Laura gave after each blessing. During the other blessing she started to collect herself from her tears and afterwards she just said thank you real politely and gave her friend a hug. </span></div>

"YES, YES WE ARE!!!" Hahahaha that was the best thing I've ever heard! It was Sister H's husbands birthday as well. He served a mission then left the church so we decided to make him a Book of Mormon cake! If he's not going to read the Book of Mormon he can just "feast on the words of Christ" instead! :) Our other investigator Matt is struggling quite a bit. We're working with him as best we can so hopefully he can figure something out in his head.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Sam- I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Thinking about where I was in life when I was 16 and how it could have been so much better if I stayed closer to Heavenly Father. I read this talk last week and it just makes so much sense. You can actually watch it online which is sweet. I didn't realize it was an hour long but I read like all 9 or 10 pages of it and was super jacked on the spirit. He outlines how Christ's church is established in the Bible and proves with the Bible that our church is the only possible church that is Christ's true church on the earth. Here's the link...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: cyan;">Thank you so much for the prayers! They have been working!! We're potentially going to have 7 new investigators this week!! That's the most this area has ever had for years! I've been praying for you all as well to be safe and set financially which it sounds like Heavenly Father has answered that prayer as well with you being able to work overtime again! That's so great to hear! Thanks for the outline of your blessing. I really enjoyed and learned a lot from it. I think I'm going to do that with my blessing as well now. Hope you have a great day at work today and a great week!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">This has been an interesting week. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_789323837" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Monday</span></span>, Elders Richards, Johnson, Rucker, Dibble, Smith, and I went to this dirt jump course off 11th street. We were jumping 4 people laying down on the ground side by side. Then Elder Dibble wanted me to jump him while he sits Indian style. So the way I am, never to back down a challege (especially bike related), I did it. Soo... I wasn't going quite as fast but I pulled as hard as I could to clear him, which I did, BUT I nose dived, tumbled, found out I'm extremely flexible by folding in half with my feet at my face, and just eating the ground. So I displaced a rib, broke another rib, probably tore something in my shoulder, have road rash all over my back but I'm loving it! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_789323838" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span> I called the nurse at the mission office and explained everything and she told me basically don't go to the hospital. It's a waste of money because they can't do anything to help you anyways. Sweet. So I was told to take 3 Ibuprofen's 3 times a day. My back and shoulders and chest muscles have been extremely tense so it hurt just to move. But I got a priesthood blessing <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_789323839" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> and I can't feel anything anymore! My back isn't even torn up anymore it looks normal with no scars or anything! So I definitely am thankful for the priesthood and for Heavenly Father for healing me!!</span></div>

It was cool because all the Sheridan missionaries were there! Even Sister Alder and Taylor! I didn't do much unloading the truck though so that was great having the other 5 missionaries there! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">We taught Evelyn <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_789323841" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span> night I believe. She's a 14 year old girl who's the daughter of a recent convert. Evelyn lives with her Dad out of our area so we focused on her a lot these past 2 weeks while she was here. This lesson was the most amazing lesson I've ever been apart of ever! When Elder Richards was talking I could tell the spirit was working through him. He was saying words I've never heard him ever say before. We could both see that Evelyn's spirit was so happy to be able to remember these teachings. She was eating up everything we said and asking some really great questions! When we handed her a Book of Mormon she smiled so big and said THANK YOU like it was the best present she could ever get on Christmas! She looks at us differently now. The first time we met, she was so stuck up and thought we were the stupidest guys ever but now she actually likes us! She asked us how old we were before we left then came outside and watched us ride away. Heavenly Father loves this girl so much. The first lesson we had with her she got up and left half way through and now she had us come over the last 3 days she was in town and send her home. </span></div>

AND Elder Smith's wayward brother is reading his scriptues again and is coming back to church! He was crying so much when he was telling us that over the phone! The spirit was so strong that entire day! I cannot deny the realness of our Heavenly Father, his son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. The truth has been manifest unto me by small and simple ways but I KNOW what I know.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Hey!</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">So this week was kind of slow with teaching. We've been focusing mostly on members and trying to help them feel more confident with doing missionary work. We've been out helping in the community quite a bit this week too, just trying to build our relationship there. This skate church called K-Life came through town <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_50342529" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> and </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">put on this festival downtown right down the street from our place. They built this little skate park in the middle of town and had a huge basketball tournament going on a couple blocks down. So we stopped and watch for a second and then I went to go talk to the one guy bmxing who was just tearing it up! Turns out he's one of the leaders of the church so we became friends pretty fast. We talked to almost all the teenagers there so that was weet! We really built our relationship with the teens of Sheridan now. So they announced they were going to start a bunny hop competition. I already made up my mind I wasn't going to go off any of the ramps because I knew I would probably hurt myself but I thought about doing the bunny hop competition and did. :) So I asked Cameron (the leader guy) if I could borrow his bike and he was like "DUDE HECK YEAH"! So I did it, nailed the jump, everyone cheered and clapped and went crazy because I was in my proselyting clothes and then the entire town of Sheridan fell in love with the missionaries and got baptized!! Okay no one got baptized but seeds were definitely planted! It was so fun!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">This week we taught Elder's Quorum about the keys of the priesthood. Last week we taught Gospel Principles about just the priesthood. I started over the Book of Mormon again. I'm in Luke chapter 10 in the New Testament! The Bible is SWEET! I love it. And I started over in Jesus the Christ because I don't remember where I was haha.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Isn't Edward Partridge like super cool! I found out he got his calling election which is pretty cool! Anyways, I think we're going to ride at this dirt jump course today for P day! It's fun, we did it last week and had a blast! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I love you guys! Read the scriptures, and say your prays! That's where the spirit and touch your hearts and conversion begins!</span><br />

I've
seen so many miracles and blessings from Heavenly Father this past
month it's a little unbearable! I've learned as long as you have your
focus on the Lord with everything you do in your life he's going to
bless you and bring so much joy and happiness to you, you won't know
what to do with it all! </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Today
we're going down to Buffalo to go play some volleyball with some other
Missionaries down there! I'm so excited to bring out the greatest server
in all the land! :)<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This
week we tracted almost everyday and talked to a TON of people! We have 2
solid investigators now that we're putting them both on date this week.<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I'm
writing you all a letter too! It's pretty sweet! I found out a lot
about some of our ancestors! I haven't got the check yet but I got your 2
letters! Your talk was amazing!</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

Not much teaching. We helped out at the soup kitchen feeding the homeless, unloaded a truck at the food bank, helped 3 people move and probably more haha just can't remember! We had a funeral </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> for this new member's dad. He was a pretty sweet dude! He's been in like 3 car accidents, a chainsaw to the back of the head and stomach, got stabbed in the hood of Philadelphia and more! I've been reading the new testament and it's pretty sweet! I finished Matthew yesterday and I'm halfway through Mark. My talk in church was just trying to get the members to help us out more with missionary work! So we just spit fire at them during the meeting :) It was great!</span></span></span><br />

I'm loving life! No bike yet though.. I gave a talk yesterday in church about qualities of disciples of Christ. It was pretty sweet, we threw down on the members to step up their game. :) I hope your talk goes well though! I did get both letters!! Thank you so much for them and the picture of Jesus! We just got done going through this cave! It was so awesome!! There's these little tiny mouse holes we had to go through and then it opened up to these huge rooms! It was so much fun!!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"> This week was kinda just a service week. We did a ton of service!! We helped out at the soup kitchen feeding the homeless twice, unloaded a truck at the food bank, helped 3 people move, ummmm what else. I don't remember but yeah! I think the coolest thing this week was seeing Matt walk into Sacrament meeting. He's one of our investigators, the only one on date and hasn't been to church for a couple weeks so that was awesome! We also gave talks yesterday! That was pretty awesome as well! We're really trying to get the members to step it up a notch because we need some serious help! I just finished reading Matthew! It is so good like whoa! Elder Richards and I are working on reading the new testament. We actually have zone conference starting <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1453520940" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Wednesday</span></span> night and then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1453520941" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> morning.

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">Hey!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">Did you get the picture of my working in the Bishops yard? The bishop's wife sent it to your phone so idk. I'm not positive what address you're supposed to send me stuff with so I'll send you a letter when I find out and let you know. But yeah, so I'm in Sheridan, Wyoming actually. It's real north almost to Montana. I love it here! We live in a pink building above a jewelry shop and next to a liquor shop downtown. We have the biggest apartment which is sweet but it's the oldest. I think I took some pictures of it actually! I'll look and stick them on here if so. We don't have a dishwasher though... haha. My companion is amazing! We're exactly alike, have the same humor, same background, pretty sweet! Except he's from Utah. :) All the members love that I'm from Texas and not from Utah! It's pretty funny actually! I gave a pretty awesome testimony yesterday and I think it pumped everyone up and got them to trust me. We've been teaching about 2-3 lessons a day since I got here <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1935936444" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span>. The wards not too big and there's not many investigators at all. We're working mostly with less-actives. But we have one investigator who is just amazing! He's name is Matt and he basically does our job for us! We give him the pamphlets and he reads them then commits himself to pray about them and to help with what he's going through. He's been extremely blessed because of it! It's insane!! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">We have a car! Don't really need a bike out here. I'm getting one from the mission office soon to go mountain biking though! and no it's just us 2 in the apartment.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">Were at the church on their computers checking our emails.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">My companion is Elder Richards! He's so cool! His dad went to England too!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">I've made salsa the past 2 nights! He loves it so much!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">Gangsta! Y'all should send me a lot of letters! Letters are awesome! :D</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">I love you too!!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">Well, I'm actually in Sheridan, Wyoming! My companion and I have our own apartment right in the middle of downtown. I love it! We don't have a dishwasher though.. I made salsa the past two days and Elder Richards and I have been devouring it every night. We live above a jewelry shop which is cool I guess and next down to a liquor shop BUT there's a DQ next door to that!! Elder Richards and I are exactly alike, it's kinda crazy. We have the same background and like the same stuff and have the same type of humor. He plays guitar which is awesome! We jammed last night with one of our investigators Matt. We share a car with the other Elders out here. We get it <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1935936464" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span>-<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1935936465" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span>. That's crazy that Tate's already shooting up. It's not even been a month since I've been gone!? I got socks and a cord for my camera so I'll get some pictures for yall. Our ward is kinda small and they don't sing which really bums me out but it's okay! They're all about missionary work so it's a good trade off!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;">We've been teaching about 3 investigators a day average now. I was talking to one of my investigators, Barbara, about how you're an author and she totally went and bought all your books on her kindle! She's so sweet! She's been reading the Book of Mormon and she finally prayed with us!! :) She's also going to church with her neighbor Linda <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_183827275" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span>! It's sad that it's our last time teaching today but I'm so glad I got to meet her and Theo. Theo's a really chill guy! He DJ's in Las Vegas but stays here in Provo to take care of his Grandma. He also started reading the Book of Mormon and finally prayed with us as well! We also had a chance to teach our teachers today which was so cool! Like normally they act and pretend to be someone they met on their missions but this time we just taught our teacher as themselves. I loved that so much because I already loved them sooo much! Elder Oaks came and talked to us <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_183827276" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Tuesday</span></span> so I can now say I've seen 2 apostles in the time frame of 3 days. Pretty legit!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The Book of Mormon is like my favorite book ever now. It's so powerful! Like holy smokes!!! We've had 5 just amazing lessons with our investigators back to back! The spirit is so important and helps out so much! I'm so glad I've been able to experience what I have so far with these investigators here! I can't wait for the next 2 years to come!! </span></div>

So if theres ever anything urgent for this week, that would be the way to go. Or if you just want to say hi! It's just us 3 Elders and 4 Sisters. We're all going to SD except Elder Johnson who is going to Vancouver, Canada! Our Branch President and his wife served in London, England and were excited to hear Dad did as well. Their last name is Briscoe. So idk. I believe we can call home at the airport so if you get a call around 9am on Monday it's probably me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">Oh and my companions and I are totally about to teach our first lesson with an investigator we found ourself that isn't a teacher acting or anything. She is apart of the TRC program so she may still be acting or possible a recent convert or could possibly be an actual investigator. But it's just cool that we found her ourselves and set up our own appointment to meet with her and it's just so exciting!!</span></span></span><br />

The first 2 days here I was absolutely loving it! The third day was a little rough for just about my whole district just with fatigue and exhaustion but that night my companions and I talked about everything about what's going on and we all felt so relived afterwords. Such a bro bonding moment. My companions are the best! I'm in a threesome companionship because Elder Hunt's companion never showed up like, at all.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I've learned so much and realized I know A LOT more than I realized I did. Like my brain feels like it's about to explode sometimes but everything that's getting shoved into it is so amazing and so true. I can feel the spirit pretty much all the time which is just fabulous! The MTC grounds are really sacred grounds just like the temple. Speaking of the Temple, we just got back from going with our district. It was so relaxing and such an awesome way to just unwind from all the learning in classes. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The food is actually pretty good. It doesn't bother me much except it gives me and Elder Johnson really bad gas so we're just farting all day long. No be deal though, we enjoy it. :) I play volleyball everyday with my district which is sooooooo much fun!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">President Uchtdorf came yesterday for Easter and gave a devotional. Seeing him enter the room was incredible. It's indescribable being in the same room as an apostle. After he spoke he walked around and shook hands with a lot of missionaries. He shook hands with the Sister right in front of me. SO CLOSE! hahaha. </span></div>

Once again, my district is the best! We all get along and joke around and have fun but we all follow the rules and really have a strong desire to learn all we can about this gospel. </span></div>

OH so remember how I was always tired just for no reason at home?? Well I wish I could go back to that because I am now ALWAYS tired. It's unreal how exhausted we all are. But it's so admirable to see everyone fight through the exhaustion to learn as much as they can while they are here. </span></div>
