Ok so literally last week as my time was up to email and stuff, I went to go check the mail for the district. WE GOT OUR TRAVEL PLANS! We are BUSING to friggen Idaho hahah. It's usually like a 3 hour drive, but it says it'll take 5 HOURS. REST IN PEACE MY FRIENDS. It's ok though! As long as I get to get to Idaho woohoo! We leave this Wednesday at 10 AM! So pretty late compared to everyone else who is flying haha. They're all leaving at like 4 AM on Tuesday. So me, my companion, and the two other elders going to Pocatello are being left behind for an extra day. But the sisters have to stay an extra week for Visitor Center Training so that's nice because I LOOOVE them.

Ok this week was WAY better!!!!!!!! Me and my comp, Elder Rohal, are getting along so much better! He still kinda does his language stuff in class, but I found out that he is actually just taking notes in his language! Like what in the world, that's so sick!!!! He's a genius and he definitely keeps us all entertained haha. 

This week has flown by and I can say I really have no idea what happened in the beginning because it went by so fast. All I can say is I learned A LOT this week. From the importance of being in bed at 10:30, to having a distinct lesson plan for each investigator, to never EVER drink the orange juice. Obedience is essential! It's why it's the first law of heaven! When we are obedient, it's so much easier for the Lord to bless us! BE OBEDIENT.

The past few days I got a little bit homesick. Only to the point where I cried for like 10 minutes. Y'all I just miss little Lucy. Sorry Mom, love you but I've only cried for Lucy while I've been here haha. Other than that I'm super good!

Well I love you all so much and I've never been happier! Just know I pray for each and every single on of you every day, multiple times a day. I know what I'm doing is what my Father in Heaven wants me to do. He has called me to serve as an authorized representative of Him. What a great calling and honor, to represent the Master of the universe! I know without a doubt in my mind that God lives. That He loves you. That His love is unconditional and no matter how far you've gone, He will always be there with open arms to welcome you home. I can't deny this because I've been there. I've been off the path and I've come back through Jesus Christ. He is the light and life of the world and I know He has risen.

Please send emails! I read all of them right away, I just don't have enough time every week to reply, just know they're appreciated and I love you all!
