We had some really cool experiences this week. We baptized Carolyn and Stewart last Saturday and then this week we were able to take them to the temple! It was such a spiritual experience. They took the name of their son that died in a car crash 6 years ago. It was a very special, emotional and spiritual experience. They were thrilled and it was definitely the highlight of the week. Experiences like those make all the hard days worth it.   It's starting to get really cold here in the mountains. And we're still on bikes. After our dinner last night we came back outside and there was frost on our seats and handlebars. The nights are especially cold. Sunday night we got our transfer news. I'm staying in St. John's this transfer and I'm training a brand new missionary, and I'm still district leader. I'll find out who my trainee is tomorrow but it'll be a crazy experience. I'm on my way down to the valley to spend the night there, so I can pick up my comp...

Good week this week!! Hope it was for all of you guys as well! We had a baptism for Stewart and Carolyn this week. It was super awesome and the spirit was really strong there. I'm super excited for them. We're also trying to take them to the temple this week which will be super good too. This last Friday we also put a couple that we started teaching the week before on date for baptism. They're super cool. He wants to get baptized so bad. This week we've also had the opportunity to start sharing the light the world video which has been a super spiritual experience for us because the light the world video this year is soooo good. It's 18 minutes long and it's all about the birth of Christ. Something else I like about it is that it's super realistic. It'll come out for the church on the 24th but they gave it to us early. I'm getting excited for Christmas and Thanksgiving. The holidays are gonna be really good. Love all of you guys. Have a good week.

This area is awesome!!! The Lord is pouring out his blessings upon us and the people in this area! We're having a baptism this next Saturday for Carolyn and Stewart and we're also planning on taking some of our recent concerts to the temple soon!! My joy is so full serving in this area and I don't want to leave. I love it. This last week we found two new people and they are super solid. They expressed their desire to get baptized and they told us they really wanted to come to church. So they came to church this Sunday and they really loved it!! I'm so excited for this area and what it has in store for us. I love serving the Lord and see him touch people's lives every day. He is really softening people's hearts and giving us the chance to bear our testimonies to people here. I love this gospel and sharing it with other people. I encourage all of you to share it with everybody you can. It really will bless your life and the lives of others. Something else really a...
