  What's up everybody! This is super late (all my emails are late really), so I'll just give you a quick run down of the week! The past month or so the teaching pool in Ephraim has been taking a beating, so Elder Stucki and I  have spent a lot of our time knocking doors, walking around, and talking to anybody and everybody searching for people to teach. We haven't had too much success yet, but we have made a lot of positive contacts! It had been such a blessing to share the light of Christ to all that we come in contact with! We've also been able to have quite a few nonmember lessons, we had a couple with a kid named Kayden and he is awesome! He was on date to be baptized this last saturday but decided he wasn't ready so it ended up not happening. He's got some rough situations and influences at home but he loves meeting with us and we love meeting with him, so we'll keep working on him! Another kid we're working with is named Niko he also has some rough...

  Greetings from Ephraim! How's it going everybody? This week was awsome! Ephraim is an awsome place to be, there are so many people to talk to, mostly because of Snow college. There are students from all around the world here and it's so cool! We cover 2 stakes here, a family stake and a Young Single Adult stake, together adding up to 17 wards! Its overwhelming almost just because there is so much to keep track of.  We get to walk around campus for a few hours just about everyday talking to random people and it's a blast! It's super easy to connect and its almost like hanging out with friends all the time cause we're all at the same point in our lives, the only difference is I'm a missionary and they're  college students.  Most of the success in this area has been from talking to college students and not to diss on Kanab, great area by the way, but here in Ephraim we have a lot more people to teach.  We've had a lot of lessons, played soccer and pickeba...

  Hey guys, big news! Transfer #5 is done! First things first though, I'll get to transfer news in a little bit. This week was awesome! With it being Easter week and the challenge to have a greater emphasis on Christ in all we do from Conference, this week has been one of my favorites yet. It was a struggle again to set up lessons and find new people to talk to, so overall success has been hard to find. But despite that, and because of the Easter week the success we did have and the joy I felt was even sweeter.  We made a lot of contacts with people and although they weren't necessarily lessons and didn't last very long, the Spirit was super strong as we testified of Christ and His Resurrection.  I've tried to ponder over that event and what it means to us, specifically to me and if I truly appreciate it like I should. Well I came to the conclusion that I probably won't ever appreciate it fully, at least not in this life. Buuuut I do have a greater appreciation for ...

  What's up everybody? This week was so awsome, a lot of cool things happened, let me tell yah.  First of all, this transfer is already almost over can you believe it? 1 more week and I'll be starting transfer number 6!  Second of all, Michael got baptized! It was so awsome, he is such a great guy! A whole bunch of people showed up including his family, they are less active but I think seeing Michael getting baptized was awsome for them to witness. The Spirit was super strong! The baptism itself was kinda interesting, the drain in the font doesn't keep the water in very well so by the time that Michael and his friend who was baptising him got in the water was down by his knees, and he's a kind of a tall kid, like 6'2 or 6'3. He didnt make it all the way under the first 2 times so on the third we just had him kneel down to go under, and we finally got it!  We also had another visit with Patrick and his family, we originally planned on watching a session of confer...
