Worldwide MIssionary Broadcast

I hope you all had the chance to watch that last night - it was incredible! If you didn't get to see it, it's online. Watch it whenever you have 2 hours of free time! This is a very exciting time to be serving a mission. I love it! things here in our area have been difficult for the past couple of months, but things are really looking up now. We must be doing something right, because we have a couple of potential investigators, and we've been able to contact and fellowship several less-active members that the ward hasn't been able to get ahold of in ages! No specific inspiring stories to share, but one random thing: I saw a firefly for the first time in my life the other night! It got into our apartment from an open window, and so I filmed it for a couple minutes, haha! My emails seem to be getting shorter and shorter in the past few weeks...the work here has been different than in any of my other areas. We've been mostly trying to contact less-actives and find people to teach, without tremendous amounts of success. Like I said though, things are looking up, and I love being here! I have come to love this ward much faster than the first two areas I served in, and I have such a desire to see them succeed in missionary work. We're working really hard, and I know the Lord will bless us in His own timing. He's already been doing so! I love being part of this sacred work. My mission has truly changed my life, and is still changing me! I'm eternally grateful for the time that the Lord has given me to spend in His service. 

Love,
