<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2. Well Elder Robb
drops me off at 10:15 tomorrow morning for a departing interview and then I’ll
go to the temple with President Thompson and others and we will have dinner, a
departing devotional and then spend the night somewhere near the mission home and
fly out the next morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">3. That’s a hard one.
Probably to see family and friends again. But there are a lot of things I’m
excited for!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

most?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">4. All of it! But
mostly the experiences of witnessing God’s hand in the lives of others and
seeing people change their lives and becoming changed through the gospel. (Sorry
that’s the most basic missionary answer but it’s true.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So honestly, I don’t
really want to write anything. But it has been a wild ride hasn’t it? I
will miss every second of being out here on a mission. I feel like I have grown
and changed so much and seen so many great things happen. I will never forget
the things I’ve learned. I hope you know I’ve changed. I’m still the same
person of course…like I’m still Colten. But I have become a different person. Hopefully
better. So don’t expect the same Colten you once knew! I am super excited to
see you and "give you a dang hug!" Love ya and I will see you
soon! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1. Can you tell us about the bike trail/ride you
went on last week?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1. The Hiawatha is the
famous bike trail in North Idaho. It is about 13 miles long and used to be a
railroad so it’s very gradual downhill the whole way. It is very gorgeous and
has the super cool tunnel that is 1 1/2 miles long so you need a pretty good
light. It has like 10 tunnels and 7 tall trestles so it’s pretty cool. It’s
something everyone up here should do at least once…or 7 seven times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. What does this last full week of being in the
mission look like? Meetings/normal week?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. Mostly just a
normal week! But Thursday we get to go to the temple and also do baptisms with
some recent converts. That will be a blast. Besides that we are just busy with
lessons and working <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. Please update us on your investigators!<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3.Ok<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This week has been
good. Besides the smoke! Apparently, Spokane is now the worst city in the
country for air quality. It is super bad! Like we aren’t allowed to walk to
appointments even.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But anyway…the Blake
family is hitting some bumps in the road, so we had to slow things down a lot
for them. They are still really solid they just have a lot of life changes that
they have to make which is super hard for them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Caleb is moving to California
this Wednesday and so we are giving him a present tomorrow for his birthday. We
got him a quad with his name engraved on it! He will love it. He is planning to
get baptized this winter! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">That’s pretty much it!
It should be a great busy week and it will probably go way too fast! But I love
ya and good luck to my sisters at school this week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Talk to ya next
week!(in person!) haha Love ya!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are all pictures we've received from members who have helped take care of our Elder in the last couple of weeks. We are so thankful for the great people of Spokane for taking such great care of Elder St. John!</span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1. Can you give us an update about your 18-year-old
that wants to be baptized? Any progress with his parents?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1. Yeah I’ll update
down below.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. What about the lady in the hospital?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. Same<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. Now that you’re headed to the finish line what
things about Washington will you miss?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. Haha well! I will
miss a lot of things. There is this great pacific northwest culture up here
that I have grown to love. But I will miss the trees! I know there are trees in
Utah but it’s not quite the same. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">4. Have you started the coming home program they
have the missionaries do now? I can’t remember what it’s called.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">4. Yes it’s called My
Plan. Some of it seems kinda silly because I’ve had a plan for a long time but
there is a lot of it that is very helpful. Gets me thinking about the
future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So this week was
pretty crazy! God has given us some serious blessings this week. This is going
to be hard to update you on, but I’ll try my best.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">First off. The 18-year-old
had a long talk with his parents and they want him to really make sure that he
wants to join the church. Which is kinda ridiculous because he has asked like
every question ever. He knows more than any other person I’ve taught. But he
has decided to try to respect his parents and also be a part our church so he
is waiting until December to get baptized so that’s good and also frustrating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Second. We went over
to give a blessing to Trina who is the lady who was in the hospital. So we went
over Monday night and her whole family was there. Tommy who is 18 and engaged
to his girlfriend Mara were also there. Along with her son Rylin, daughter
Taylor and son Preston. We gave Trina a blessing and then after a long talk and
a lot of teaching we gave Tommy a blessing too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Backtrack about a
month ago…we got haircuts and the girl who cut Elder Robb’s hair was talking to
him about God and she wanted to learn more and gave us her number on the back
of the receipt. Well a couple days later we realized we had lost the number! We
were super bummed and then we show up at Trina’s and guess who is there? Mara,
the girl who cut Elder Robb’s hair! She just happens to be engaged to Tommy, Trina’s
son! What the heck! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ok, then we give Trina
a blessing. We get talking with Tommy and he has had a rough past year and
really needed some God in his life. But, right at first, he was very opposed to
missionaries and God and he didn’t want to have anything to do with it. But,
after a blessing to Trina he was curious and we convinced him to let us give
him a blessing! I’ll tell you what, there was a lot more that went into this
that is just too hard for me to explain but it was a very spiritual experience
and at the end of the night we were planning on meeting with the whole family
on Wednesday. After meeting on Wednesday, we now have a family of 5 people on
date for baptism and they came to church on Sunday! Overall that’s probably confusing
but we have been so blessed to find this family and they are so ready for the
gospel! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">That’s about all for
this week. It was pretty crazy though! Tomorrow we have zone conference with
about a 3rd of the mission so it will be huge! I’m super excited but also sad
because it will be my last zone conference! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I don’t know if you
remember them but Elder King and Elder Bennett (from my mtc group) fly home
today so that’s a little weird. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. Kinda. Not too crazy.
It’s mostly been in the high 80's low 90's, but this week it’s supposed to
climb into the 100's a little bit.</span><br />

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. Yeah, we ride our
bikes pretty often actually.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. No that was just
that one area. We don’t ride them here at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">4. Maybe I’ll see.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So this week was
pretty insane!! It was crazy busy working with the people we were given. I’ll
do my best to tell the stories from this week but it probably won’t be that
cool to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">First off, we have
been stressed about our friend Caleb who is 18 and just graduated. He wanted to
be baptized on the 11 of august but his parents are a part of a church called
Real Life (don’t get me started on what that church does). He has been scared
to tell them that he was going to get baptized until this last week and they didn’t
like the idea of him committing to something like that. So, they said they want
him to wait a full year, which in my book is pretty ridiculous! He really wants
to get baptized so I’m not sure what will happen but prayers for him and his parent’s
hearts to be softened would be needed! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Second, we have been
teaching this lady named Trina and her life is totally falling apart and she
really needs the gospel. She hurt her wrist and didn’t know what was wrong with
it for about a week. After several doctors’ appointments and meds and a whole
lot of stress they finally found that she had an infection in her arm! Her
wrist was crazy swollen too. She had to get surgery right away and while she
was out after her surgery her son and ex-husband showed up and the son and ex-husband
got in a fight and the son punched his dad in the face and broke his jaw! The
son got put in jail and the dad went in for a jaw surgery to get it fixed right
away. (didn’t even have to drive to the hospital since that’s where the fight
took place!) So, that has been really crazy for her. She is recovering now and
has been very humbled as you can tell. She wants to be baptized sometime in
September, so we will be working with her. She is an amazing lady and would be
an amazing member and has some spunk that this ward needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Third, we are teaching
a 9-year-old girl named Alora and she is super awesome. They are in a part
member family and are super nice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Well that’s my update
for the week. It sure has been a crazy one. But its good and it keeps me busy.
Well I hope you have a great week and do some fun stuff as summer starts to
wind down. Love ya!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1. Are you hanging tough through your last
transfer? Working hard, not losing interest?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1. Oh yeah. I’m doing
just fine. Don’t worry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. Have most of the Elders you came out with gone
home now?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. Not yet. The
earliest they leave is in like 2 weeks. There’s a couple that go in the middle
of August and then me and the couple Elders with me. I think there will only be
4 of us that fly into Salt Lake. Elder Jackson is one of them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. We have our ward newsletter for August coming
out next week. They always like me to send in a picture and a little synopsis
about how you're doing. With this being your last message is there anything in
particular you'd like me to include? Words of wisdom? And a picture of
yourself?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So this week was crazy
and fun and just a great missionary week. We had transfers on Thursday and then
we spent the whole day rearranging our apartment and getting things figured out
so that we could just have Elder Robb and I live in it. So, we have a bunch of
extra shelves and tables and stuff because our apartment got changed from a 4
man to a 2 man. We have a lot of extra room now. So that was exciting and then
the rest of the week we worked and Sunday night we saw a miracle…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We have this lady we
are teaching that has been super hard to meet with. We called her and she said
she could meet that night at 8 which was in a half an hour. So we called our
good member friends who are our fellowship for her and they dropped everything
and came to a lesson on the spot. They are awesome. We had a super good lesson and
we put her on date for baptism! So things in this area are starting to look up.
It has taken a lot of patience to find people who are ready but God puts them in
our path on His timing not ours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As for a little
message… I want everyone to know that our God is a God of miracles. He has
always worked through his imperfect children to change our lives and the lives
of those around us. Moroni 7:35-37 states:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The day of miracles
has not ceased! I have seen miracle after miracle in my life and I know that
our Father in Heaven’s hand is always stretched out to guide us and help us. He
won’t ever leave us alone. He just waits until we are ready to let Him in. It
is through the power of his Son’s Atonement that we can be cleansed and return
to live with him we just have to trust Him. We have to have enough faith to
act. To be able to make changes in our live that bring our will in line with
his. Then we can be ready to make covenants with him. Binding promises that
hold us close and give us the strength and power to overcome the struggles of
this life. If we live that way we will be healed of our sins and become better
than we can even imagine. It brings me great joy to live the Gospel I don’t
know what my life would be like without it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">5. Hmmm</span><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "segoe ui emoji" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">👇</span><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well I'll tell you what. So emergency transfers happened right. The elder that got to our apartment is Elder Kritter and he got there on Tuesday. We had exchanges with the assistants on Tuesday and then on Wednesday Elder Kritter was just meandering his way out to work and BANG his knee just exploded!!! Dislocated (it's called a supulation) but they took him to the er and found out he has a tumor in his knee that's twice the size of his knee cap. Don't worry it is benign so he might not even get it removed. So I know I'm weird, but I find it super fascinating and so that was the highlight of my week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Besides that, my week was fine. The work is a little slow but not bad. Our area is tiny so it's pretty repetitive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This week we have mlc tomorrow so I will meet the new president there. And then we have a mission tour where President Thompson will go to the whole mission and meet everyone. So it will be busy and a lot of work but it will be good. Well I love you and I’m glad to see Logan home and doing well. Say hi for me! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

How big is your apartment, what color is it, is your bed comfy etc.(We googled his address & it showed he lived in a big apartment complex called the Villages – turns out he doesn’t live there)</span></i><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. What the heck do you mean by villages? It's just a normal apartment nothing to special. Everything there is just mediocre just like every other missionary apartment.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well so crazy story this week. One of the elders in my apartment just got et'ed today! (Emergency transferred) along with some other elders in the mission so that was fun. Other than that, we had a great week we found 4 new investigators! And we are working hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday we had stake coordination meeting. I don't know if I told you what that is. But we meet with the stake president the mission president and the high counselor over missionary work. So it's a sweet meeting. But that was on Sunday and it went forever long! Like almost 2 hrs., which is pretty long. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I get to see President Dymock as President Dymock for the last time on Tuesday for a temple recommend interview. I will miss him a lot. He has taught me so much. He flies out on Saturday. And President Thompson gets here that day as well. It should bring good change to the mission, but we will miss him a lot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. So we have zone conference this Tuesday and then we will have a mission tour next week to meet the new mission president. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. Elders Brinkerhoff and Williams. 1 year and the other 9 months. So basically, I'm ancient. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. How are the two wards that you're serving in different from each other?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. One has a ton of youth and the other doesn't and that's pretty much it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So this week was good. To start, last p-day my companion just happened to dislocate his pointer finger playing a dodgeball sort of game. That was pretty fun because he trusted me to put it back in place for him. That was pretty cool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well we are just doing the normal work here as usual. I don’t really have much to write about like normal. Pretty much cuz there aren’t things to say. I guess one thing is that we have been doing service for this guy in his yard and he is super picky. But it’s kinda fun because its service.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There is a lot of member support here. I feel like I’m in a Utah ward. It’s pretty great. The members take super good care of us and we get dinners like every night. One family gave us 2 lbs of shrimp to take home because we had been craving shrimp! There are a lot of wealthy families here. It’s different. But a good different. This week should be good. We have a sports youth activity on Saturday so I might get to play some sport of some sort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So funny story… the other Elders called us saying there was a free desk on the side of the road and they needed us to come pick it up for them. So, we spent like 20 minutes trying to fit this desk into our Corolla which was going to be impossible! At the best time a member decides to roll up in a truck and offers to take it to our apartment. So now we have an extra desk in our apartment just sitting in the hallway. So that’s fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We had stake conference this weekend which is always fun. I feel like I’ve been to like 6 or 7 stake conferences on my mission. I don’t know if that’s normal or not but it was good. This week they talked a lot about the sacrament and how to honor it and prepare for it. They also said some bold statements of how to treat other people it was a good time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well that’s all I got. I don’t really know what you are expecting me to say each week when I have been doing literally the same thing for like 90 weeks. But I love you guys! Hope you have a good week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I had my suspicions that I would be outta here but you just never know until it happens. I'm going to the valley to 2 wards Sullivan and Ridgecrest. I'll be with an Elder Robb, which is who Elder Jackson trained right after he was companions with me in St. Maries. So it should be good. I guess I did what the Lord needed me to do here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well this week really has nothing too special to make note of. We had one cool experience. We were out working in the morning, going out to walk down the big hill we live on. Elder Woods had the idea to walk down a different road than the road we live on. So about 30 seconds down the road a lady come up outta nowhere in her car. And she stops and says, "Elders! I just moved from Seattle and I have super bad anxiety so I haven’t been to church yet.” We talked to her for a little bit and turns out she is a recent convert that just moved and kinda fell through the cracks. We were able to get to know her and make sure she doesn't get neglected anymore. All because we walked down a different street!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. The lamest thing. Hmmm. Well we talked to the most frustrating lady. She just could not understand anything we said. She just kept asking the same stuff over and over. It was just frustrating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well another week has gone by. This week there is not much to report on. Just a lot of finding and trying to teach people. It's been good though. We are starting to see a lot of people getting close to being investigators. We just need to visit them and for them to have time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In this area we don't have a car so we have bus passes. I don't know if I told you that before. But it makes travel in our area interesting. Also, we just got a new ward mission leader so that should keep us busy too. We will have to train him up and teach him how to be amazing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Next week we have zone conference and so that should be fun. I think we will be getting Facebook. So don't freak out if I'm on there. It's kinda weird to get it so late in the game for me. But it's exciting I guess. Lots of work though. Well wish me luck! Love ya!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. We went on exchanges and on the day April 20th my companion and another elder talked to someone at the door and the person there was hot boxing in their apartment and they stood there and talked with them for a while and they totally got a little bit high on pot. Pretty funny.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. Yes finally <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">5. Happy birthday this week! How does it feel different being a 20 year old?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">5. It feels great! I feel so wise and old and like really really different. Actually, no I feel the same as I did when I was 18. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well this week was great! We found a ton of new people in the zone and so that was exciting! We are seeing so many miracles in the zone. Work has really been picking up lately. Too bad I'm leaving!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yeah I'm getting transferred back up to the old Spokane. Spokane 6th ward. I guess I'm needed up there because I won't be a zone leader anymore they want me to be a district leader again. But it should be good. That's where the Lord needs me so that's where I will go. I don't know how long I'll stay there but here we go! That's pretty much it for this week not too much else exciting. Well hope you have a good week to! Love ya!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. We're curious - how much is a gallon of gas in Pullman, WA?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. I think like around $2.89-2.99</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. Have you eaten out at any restaurants there in Pullman?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. Umm there's not too much here in Pullman besides weird Asian places, but there is a good Thai place that a lady in our ward takes us to every once in a while. It's good cuz they know how to actually make things spicy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. How are your investigators coming along?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. Great! It was actually a really good week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="color: red; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. Any birthday requests?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4. You know I'm not sure. The only things I can think of are, I really like 10tree the brand. If you want you can look them up. But I like their tee shirts and hoodies. But they’re kinda expensive so I don't know. Council with me if you’re thinking about it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">So this week was a blast. We went on back to back exchanges with the district leaders in our zone and it was a ton of fun. But the biggest miracle was that at church this week we had like 10 non members come to church! And it was the week where we got a new bishop and a ton of stuff changed. It was crazy! Almost overwhelming but it was so cool. I hope we have a good turn out next week too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">But our "on dates" are doing good. They all have a lot to overcome but they are on the way to a wonderful life if they continue to change and work at it. We all of a sudden are teaching a lot of Spanish speaking people which is kinda funny because it's Pullman Washington. But it's who is prepared for us!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. No sprouts yet...they take 2-6 weeks to sprout and then like 3 years to get to full size! So it's a long commitment I just entered. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. Yes so there are ysa sisters and also a set of elders that cover that side of Pullman so the do the work in that area. We mostly just email at the institute on pdays and that's about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

How do you think they’ll affect the wards you serve in & you as a

they’re good and will bless the church but I don't think they are that big of a
deal. Just little changes that will make things better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Carter's. They are awesome. And yeah we did a scavenger hunt. It was fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Conference?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">5. I loved President
Eyring's talk about revelation and the talks about forgiveness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This week was full of
miracles. We were able to put another investigator on date for baptism! It's
been super rewarding because the work has been slow and hard the past while. It
was good to see that my efforts aren’t wasted. It's sometimes hard to write
about the cool things that happen out here because they happen so often. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Lord will provide
for those who act in faith. We have to put our faith in him and take the first
step sometimes before we see the blessings. But I can’t even tell you the
countless times I’ve seen the blessings of our Father in Heaven when people act
in faith. He just takes care of their needs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Conference and built your testimony in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ!

that we can use so it should be a good summer. Well that's about it for me.

was just as busy as I thought it would be. We had mlc on Tuesday and a really
busy proselyting day on Wednesday. Then temple trip on Thursday and district
meeting Friday. Weekly planning and exchanges on Saturday! So it was a crazy
week, but we saw a couple way cool miracles! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

exchanges we found a new investigator! Her name is Peggy. We do this Bible
study thing on Saturdays at the old people’s home and it’s kinda fun. She was
the only one that showed up and we just came in with our Bibles not expecting
to share a Book of Mormon because you know, Bible study. So we read the Bible
and then she started asking a bunch of questions and stuff and we were
basically answering them straight from 2 Nephi chapter 2. It was crazy but
someone (we don’t know who) had just left a Book of Mormon on the table just randomly.
So we gave it to her and asked if we could come and teach her more and she was
so excited it was sweet! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
