Week 52

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been fun. I went to a 5 hour meeting on Friday! After being called as a District Leader, I went up to Kennewick and took part in a new leadership meeting. It was great, and I was able to see a couple of missionaries I had served around in the past. The meeting was also really insightful. As a district leader, we call the other missionaries in our stewardships and check up on them, their goals, people they're teaching, as well as their well-being. It's awesome to be in a position to help other missionaries out. 

We recently visited a family of members that haven't been to church for a while named the Wintertons. They have 6 kids and the oldest is about to turn 9. They are the coolest! I'm really good with kids, and they have a lot of them. I love their family so much. Their oldest also hasn't been baptized yet. We're hoping to start teaching him, so he can be baptized in the near future. 

I love it here in Hermiston. It's a total blast. The people here are awesome. Even the people at the gas stations are starting to recognize and talk to us. I'm going to miss this place when I eventually leave. Wherever I serve though, I know there are people there for me to get to know and love. It's happened in all of my areas so far, so why would it stop now? 

I love this Church. I love this Gospel, which is the The Church and Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Love you all as well.
