What's that noise you say? Well that my friends is the north wind a' blowin cause it's FALL!! It's chilly! It's fall! It's awesome! This work is so amazing. It shows you how to think nothing of yourself and everything of other people. How to loose yourself in being of help to others. It has taught me how to look to the lord for all my guidance. That the Holy Spirit is real and does help you understand what your Heavenly Father wishes you to know. Wasn't Conference wonderful?! It was exactly what I needed to hear. I love knowing there there is a living prophet on the earth today. That Heavenly Father loves us just as much as in olden times as he does now. That we do not have to be alone or lost. We can know for ourselves if it's all true. The gospel of Jesus Christ is restored on the earth, and is a wonderful, and powerful reminder to the children of men that God is forever, and so is his love. We are opening the area here and it's been a little tough some times you wonder how it will work. Then you remember that this isn't your work but the Lord's and he has sent my companion and myself here to serve and help the people. That HE will be the ones to heal there hearts and there sorrows and that we are only meant to bring to remembrance what the forgot. Heavenly father loves us all. he cares for us all. Our savior suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross so we may not be alone. What infinite love that must have taken to know what was to come and still drink the bitter cup. I take that reminder with me where ever I go. I will not be selfish and refuse a gift given with so much sacrifice and love that is for everyone. I hope all of you are safe.

If you are thinking of going on a mission truly search out the answer between you and Heavenly Father. Do not think you are not smart enough or know your scriptures enough. That is what your mission is for. Start studying Preach My Gospel and the scriptures. Make sure you are worthy by talking to your Bishop. Make sure you are worthy so that you do not have to deal with the burden of guilt wile you are out in the field. But do not be ashamed that there maybe something you need to repent for. Remember Christ did not die on the cross because we were already perfect and it was insurance. He payed the ransom because we are NOT perfect nor can we be in this life and our Heavenly Father loved us enough to make sure we had a way to lift the burdens of guilt. If we only can repent, be baptized, and receive the holy ghost. We can endure all things and act on the faith we have by applying the atonement. What a precious gift.

I love you and pray for you,
