The investigators are doing great... Eric has had a mighty change of

Heart in the last little bit and the lord has been really working with

him to want to keep all the commandments. Before it was a little shaky

but the lord takes our weaknesses and makes them strong when we trust

in him and trust on the atonement of Jesus Christ by being obedient!

Sam is a new baptismal candidate that we taught for the first time this week.
 He is super cool and wants to learn more about Christ and his gospel.

He really understands and listens when we teach him. He said aww...

so this is the church of Jesus Christ. The church of Christ restored

today.. and all the other churches have a part of the truth and no

authority of god. Okay that makes sense. I love the work; it is true.

The atonement can and will make all of the hardships and unfair time

of life right. He can and will help us when we ask for it in prayer.

God loves us. He is our father. And your father too, father. :)

to me

! I know the church and the gospel are the coolest things that
have ever been established and created... for us, for you, so that we
can have joy. God’s whole purpose is to help you and I, together be
happy and enjoy all of his blessings in the kingdom of glory and
unending happiness! I thought a little bit yesterday about the
special personal connection we have with our heavenly father. We have

The opportunity to speak with the most all-powerful being who also
conveniently, loves us just as great, or greater than his power is.
He, God, only wants the best for us. We can have a personal
relationship with him. But one key aspect of our ability to focus in
on him like it says in 3 Nephi 11, when the people turned their ears
and eyes to the sound of the voice of the lord. We need to turn our
ears and turn our radios to the right station... of humility. When we
give our whole hearts to god, holding nothing back, we can seriously
always have his spirit to be with us. When we really think on him and
give our whole souls as an offering that is when he heals us, that is
when he speaks, AND WE HEAR. That is where the miracle occurs. 
That is it. Give everything and then his grace is sufficient for us. 
It is true.

Oh mannnn!! the packages AND the bars were amazing!!! the best ever.
The ties are literally the coolest ties I’ve ever seen! And the USA
shirt has already been worn twice to do service... I love it!!! Thanks
so much! Oh and the short sleeved shirts were great too! Wow that is
awesome!
I can’t speak Swiss German; I can normally understand it okay…

I love Helaman 5... Oh when the prison is destroyed and the people
must repent and the faces of the missionaries were shining in the
darkness. We need to be examples like those two who were beacons of
light.
I love you mama!!!!
