Hi family and friends! Oh my what a full week! We went to Pocatello for P-Day because I needed a new suit, had Zone conference on Tuesday with Elder Taylor of the 70, and that was AMAZING. I even got a 1 on 1 interview with him!!! He asked who had April birthdays and said he wanted to interview each of us. They weren't worthiness interviews or anything haha. Just wanted to asked about our missions and what we think can be better. Then we did exchanges and an Elder from Gilbert came with me! His name is Elder Crockett. He went to Highland, yuck (sorry Kennedy). It was a goooood day. We went to court this week too to support the people we're teaching. Soda Springs has a prison here and lots of people go for drugs and stuff so we teach a lot of people out of prison. Court is so weird, I never want to be a lawyer or a judge haha. Then yesterday, holy cow. Amazing day. We got a new Ward mission leader in one of our wards! The old one was a recently returned missionary and he went up to Provo for BYU. Our new one and his wife are from Phoenix! They went to Mountain Ridge and were ATHLETES. She played college volleyball and coaches and is INSANELY good. He played football at SVU too! They're young and vibrant. We are pumped. We met with them last night.
The best part of Sunday was we had a devotional with our Mission President and his family and the Area 70. Goodness gracious the work in Soda Springs is going to explode let me tell you. The theme was about light. How we have this torch of the Gospel and its our job to light others torches. He teaches and speaks with so much power you can't help but want to do everything he says! Apart of his devotional was music too! He asked me to sing 2 songs. One on my ukulele, Let It Shine. and a rendition of Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy. Both about light!! I love using my God given talents to share the Gospel ah! I sing a lot at people's homes and on the street. At a point in the devotional, he told everyone our phone number and put on a video about Christ. During it he said to text us someone that the Holy Ghost is prompting you to visit or whatever. We got 60+ texts!!!!!! A lot of them have multiple people in them. It's amazing what is going to happen here.

Life is so great lemme tell ya. I'm happy. I'm working hard. I'm living the Gospel the best I've ever lived it. In all seriousness everyone please please please do what you're supposed to. Even it it's hard, even physically painful. My heart is SO full this week, especially these past few days. God loves us. That means He'll bless us when we do what He says. So do it. Please. I can't emphasize it enough people.
