be staying together. We are so excited! We get along great and we
teach super well together. It's a dandy time here in the Stonerigde,
Dewey, Bagdad wards, and the Kirkland branch!
This week we got to see lots of cows. I love cows! This time here in
the Prescott/Prescott Valley zone has built up in me a strong desire to be
around these large animals. My dad has always told me that he wants to
be a cowboy when he grows up, now I'm understanding why. This city boy
is turning country.
We started teaching someone new this week. When I was serving in
Kirkland I saw this young woman named Aeriel 3 times a week. She works
at the only gas station, so we frequently were going there. I tried to
get her interested in the gospel for 3 months. The week I leave, she
goes to church. Now we are teaching her the lessons and she loves it!
She told us that she thought my first name was elder the whole 3
months I was there. Now she understands that it's just a title haha.
I'm so excited that she's wanting to learn more now though! When I
first met her I had a really strong feeling that I was suppose to
teach her the gospel. When I was getting transferred I got bummed out
that I didn't get that chance, but now here it is! It's been a
testimony building experience for me. I have learned that as I have
faith in the Lord, He will bless me with the opportunities that He
promises me. The Holy Ghost really does give us promises and direction
for God!
This week is the week that all the Sister missionaries I came out with
are going home. It's crazy to see those strong missionaries leaving
the field after completing their whole mission. I've been doing this
for over 18 months now! It's hard to believe. I feel like I've just
started some days. Other days it feels like it's been way over 18
months though haha. Time is such a weird thing. I'm so excited to be
serving until the end of September though! I have so much more I need
to accomplish and more people I need to invite to come closer to
Christ before I can go home!
Well I love you all! I hope all is peaceful. Remember that there can
always be peace even if times look bleak. I've learned this quite a
bit on my mission. Even when I'm down, or the situation doesn't turn
out positively, I know that we can find peace from our Father in
Heaven as we reach out to Him in prayer. He loves us all and will send
the Holy Ghost to comfort us and guide us.

Pics: Cows that I got to play with! Then 4 of the Sisters I came out
with that are going home with 4 of the Elders who came out at the same
time. Then Elder Hedrick pondering Mosiah chapters 1 and 2 haha.
