<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Hey everyone!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">I’m so sorry I’ve been so bad at writing these past couple weeks. Things have just been crazy. These past two weeks have just flown by! We are working with so many families right now. It’s so nice to finally see some of the fruits of our labors haha. We have just been running from house to house teaching the members in the ward about missionary work and how to reach out to their friends. We have really been taking our member visits seriously and have been trying to make them as effective as possible. Something that we have found to work really well is the new planning guidelines from preach my gospel. They recently revised our planning guidelines for investigators in PMG for our mission and a couple other missions. We used to have to go through 12 steps to plan for all of our investigators or anyone we were teaching. The new guidelines are only 5 steps and 2 of the 5 steps are praying haha. But I want to share the 5 steps with you all because I know they work.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">3: Set goals</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">4: Make plans</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">5: Pray (confirm your plans with the lord)</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">I’ll get off my soap box now but I know if you use these steps with specific people that you have in mind by praying for them by name, writing down their progress and just think about where they are right now in terms of the gospel, then obtain a vision for them or where you want this all to go, then plan how you are going to get them there. Our teaching pool has doubled because we have taught this to all the families in the ward and they know exactly what they need to do to help get their friends to where they want to be. So help out your local missionaries and give it a try.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Halloween was three weeks ago and it was so fun! We spent the whole day playing games and fun activities. We started out the night with a sweet volleyball tournament (my team won of course) then we had a huge capture the flag competition. Then to finish off the night we had a pumpkin carving contest. Yeah our district lost that one but hey we’ll do better next year.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Our main investigators right now are the Fisher Family. We have gotten so close with their whole family and we teach them about twice a week. They also feed us every </span><span style="direction: ltr; font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt; text-decoration: underline; unicode-bidi: embed;">Monday night</span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">. Their family is just ready for the gospel but they have never participated in any sort of religious activities in their lives. They don’t even have a clear idea who god is yet. So we have been working really hard with them and they even came to church this week!!!!!!!!</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">We also found a new investigator named Jada. We got a call to go give jadas husband a blessing because he had cancer and was about to pass away. Someone in the extended family must have been Mormon because when we went over their family pushed us away because they are all Catholics. A couple weeks later we felt a prompting we needed to go over again. We weren’t really sure why but we decided to follow the prompting regardless and went. Jada answered the door in tears and explained how her husband just passed away two hours ago. We had the opportunity to share some of the plan of salvation with her right on the door step and it was one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission. She invited us back the following Tuesday where we taught the rest of the plan of salvation and we have another lesson set up with her next week.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Well that’s really all I got for the past couple weeks, I am just loving my mission and know my time is precious out here. My testimony and faith in Jesus Christ have grown so much this past year. I know God speaks to his children today and has a perfect plan that requires change. I have seen that change in myself and seen the blessings that come from it and that’s what motivates me to help others find the same truth. The church is true, have a Great week!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;">Hope all is good back home in the land of Utah. These last couple days have just been crazy..... we got transfer news and my new comp is going to be Elder Cook. He was my MTC comp and we are like two peas in a pod. So that is going to be super exciting. My last companion Elder Pilling is the new Assistant to the President so they took him a week before transfers to train him before the old assistant leaves. So I have been going around from companionship to companionship so I wouldn’t be alone. It was just a super busy, confusing week haha mostly because we had a bunch of important meetings and I had to go to all of them by myself because my comp was gone and no one else knew the numbers for the stake coordination meeting so that was kind of rough. Haha but it all worked out super well ..... we’ll at least I thought so. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;">Oh big news... our mission has Facebook now and also smart phones. We hope it will help us reach our goal of 50 baptisms a month for the mission. So that has been really fun and effective to use this past week. The fishers landing ward is doing great! We are working with about 12 investors right now and 7 of those new investigators we found last week. The fisher family is a family of 7 that we found last week and they are so solid. They have come to mutual twice now and we hope to get there whole family to church next week so please pray for them. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;">Oh and update on Seth........ YEAH HE GOT BAPTIZED! It was so awesome and I loved the whole day because right after his baptism we got to go to the temple and watch a reactivated member that we have been working with receive her endowment. But wait it gets even better... then at the temple I saw the whole bishopric from my first ward at the temple. It was so good to see them all again and hear about all the work going on in there ward. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleTallBody; font-size: 17px;"><span style="color: white;">Well that’s all I got for this week. I love you all and just know the church is true and god loves you!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Hey everyone! </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Wow time is just flying out here in the Couve! Sorry I didn't write a main email last week I'll try and make up for both weeks in this email. Just some quick updates on our investigators, Seth is doing great we had 2 lessons with him these last two weeks and we have been planning out the details for his baptism. His family is even flying in so they can be there on the 14th for it. Also Nathan is doing great, he has been drug free for the last two weeks and our last lesson with him went great. I remember biking over to his house last Saturday and thinking to myself... " why are we going over to Nathan's again, he is so far gone, there's no way he is going to qualify for baptisms anytime soon and he doesn't even know who God is" well the lord definitely chastened me because when we started the lesson, Nathan said he wanted to share something with us. He said that he started praying the way we taught him and he bore his testimony to us of God,s love. I can't even tell you how hard the spirit slapped me in the face. He then asked us about general Conference and asked to go with us. We went to the priesthood session and he loved it. Long story short this gospel will and can change anyone in any circumstance. So yeah our main investigators are doing great. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">We had Zone Conference 2 weeks ago and it was in Portland so I got to see my trainer elder packer and some old members from my first area! It was so good to see them all and talk for a little to get updates on life. Elder Pilling and I also gave a training at Zone Conference and at first I was pretty nervous about it but it went super well and it was a good learning experience. Also my birthday was so fun...the whole Zone surprised me at the stake center and sang to me for lunch. Then I had one of the best dinners of my mission at the Bowman's. Sister Bowman made me some homemade cheesecake that was just too good to be true! </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Then to finish off the week we had THE SUPPER BOWL OF THE MORMON CHURCH ........ GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!!!!! It was so good, I loved all of it. It was a little weird watching TV for a couple hours but all of the talks felt like they were tailored just for me. On of my favorites of the conference would definitely be (Joseph Smith the Prophet) by Tad R Callister. He is one of my favorite speakers and he also wrote the book "The Infinite Atonement" that explains Christ ministry and just explains the gospel and points out how true it is. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Oh fun story, on our way back from the priesthood session of General Conference elder Pilling and I got caught in a downpour on our bikes. We were biking back as quick as we could but pretty soon all the drains on the road got plugged up because of all the fallen leaves and the streets became a 3 foot swimming pool that we had to bike through for a couple miles haha. We legit were soaked from head to toe and we were freezing. Hey but our mission president said "elders the more you bike in the rain the hotter your wife will be when you get back" so I'm just stacking up the points. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: '.SF UI Text'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Today I got to go golfing for the first time on my mission. I still suck but it was so fun and we had a blast. We also went ice skating with the Zone and escaped with only minor bruises and scraped knees. Anyway that's all I got for this week! The church is true the book is blue and Jesus loves you!</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Sorry I didn't email last week haha things were just super busy and we didn't have much time to email. Holy cow it's so smoky outside and it's not even 4/20 haha jk but the fire has been making everything super gloomy and humid. Other than that the last two weeks have been great! </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">I went on 3 exchanges in the last two weeks with all the district leaders in the zone. The first one was with Elder Sims. He is from Hawaii and is such a stud. We had a great day in the Fishers Landing Ward and found a new investigator named Kory and hopefully we will have a great lesson with him next week. The second exchange I went on was last Tuesday with Elder Ralison. He's a new missionary that's only been out about 5 weeks and we had a great time in the Harmony Ward. We didn't find any new investigators but we talked to a bunch of crazy people and made some good memories. The last exchange for the week was with Elder Larkin. I love Elder Larkin! He's such a funny guy and we had a lot of great lessons and a lot of service that day. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Oh we also had an awesome temple trip this week with Sister Blair! Sister Blair has been preparing to go through the temple to receive her endowment but has been to nervous to go. We just went to the visitor's center so we could answer some of her questions and help her feel of the spirit that comes with the temple grounds. We also brought the member we live with named Jens. We needed him for the ride haha but it's was a good time. He's 88 years old and wanted to get some pics at the temple with Elder Brown and I before Elder Brown goes home. </span></span></div>

Also transfers are this Wednesday and my new comp will be Elder Pilling. He's from Canada and from what I hear he is a really good missionary so I'm super pumped. </span></span></div>

If you don't believe me then go read the Book of Mormon with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, and talk to me when you're done. It will probably be in the baptismal font! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">What a week haha! We started the week out with mini missions. We took a kid out for all of Tuesday and Wednesday named Jacob Fagg. He was such a funny guy. His favorite activities consist of naming dragons and playing a lot of video games that I have never heard of before. We took him around to a bunch of teaching visits and he mostly stayed quiet for the teaching part of it. Elder Brown and I wanted to let him do a little bit of the teaching so we went over the plan of salvation with him so he could teach a little bit of it to our investigator Leslie. We asked him right before the lesson which point he would like to cover in the plan of salvation so we knew to let him teach that park and he said Spirit prison haha. So we let him, and he was doing really well until he started teaching a lot of false doctrine and ended up relating Spirit Prison to the Hotel California where the spirits can never leave. So that was great haha but it all ended up ok. We talked to him later about teaching the doctrine simply and on our last day together he did a great job explaining it to a less active member. Oh and we also got him a hair cut haha He liked his long hair but we talked to him about who we represent and why it's important to live and look like what we teach. We made it a surprise for his mom..... she was MORE than gratefull. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;">On Wednesday we dropped Elder Anderson off at the mission home. I grew really close to Elder Anderson. He's a great missionary and I was sad to see him leave. Then on Thursday we had a mission leadership meeting like all day. We learned a lot from President MacAteer and we got free lunch so that was a bonus. President mostly trained us on how to work with members and I think it's really going to help our mission get to 50 baptisms per month. I also got to see my trainer Elder Packer again so that was awesome! Later in the week we had exchanges with the PA's Elders Holloway and Porter. I went with elder Holloway and learned a lot from him. We didn't get much proselyting time because we had to go run all over the mission and take care of some stuff, but we just made the best of it and had fun. </span><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;">I also got to go back to my last area and see one of my investigators be baptized. It was Shana Heights and it was so awesome to see how much she has changed! I got to be one of the witnesses for the baptism and I could feel the spirit so strong. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText", serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Then we got to finish off the week by watching the solar eclipse. We got together as a zone and had breakfast so we could eat some delicious pancakes while we watched the moon eat the sun. Well that's all I really got for this week! I love my mission and I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else right now. The gospel of Jesus Christ has truly changed my life and I can't even express how much joy it brings me to share it with others. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">CARTER GOT MARRIED!!!!!!!!!! That's so crazy haha I love you
Carter and Adrian and hope you're enjoying the honeymoon<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😉😂</span>
It seems like everything has changed since I've been gone. My brother is
married, my little bro has a perm, and my mom and pops go on vacations like
every other week haha. Times are changing and it sounds like for the better....
except Dallin's hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">Well this week was probably one of the funniest/ busiest
week I've had on my mission so far. We started out the week by doing stake
reports. Stake reports are a form we have to fill out for the stake each month
that shows how the missionaries are doing and a bunch of numbers that we have
to talk about and make a plan to improve them. We also set up the mini mission
details for the zone and that will be happening this Thursday and Friday so
that should be way fun. We had a new zone competition this week too. Whoever
got the most new investigators gets to have a BBQ with their district at
President McAteer's house. Well our district didn't win but I definitely think
it kept us motivated during the week to do better. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">Oh some updates on our investigators, we had a lesson with
Leslie this week and gave her a tour of the church so she would feel more
comfortable on Sunday. Well the tour went well and she said we answered a bunch
of her questions and was excited to come to church. She didn't end up coming to
church but please keep her in your prayers. We also had a lesson with Brother
Groda who is a returning less active member in the ward. He said he wants to
work towards the temple and towards receiving the Melchizedek priesthood so we
invited him to go to the temple with us so we could tour him around and explain
what happens at the temple to get him excited for it. Well during the tour we
ACCIDENTALLY<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😉</span> ran into an old friend you might recognize
haha. It was Tanner Terry!!! Can you believe that he happened to be at the same
temple the same day at the same exact time as I was?????? WHAT A CRAZY
COINCIDENCE <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">😂</span>🤥
haha It was so good to see him and catch up for 10 min before I had to go. He
looks like he's doing great and it was good to see someone I knew for once. Now
you see why this was probably my favorite week on the mission. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">Oh we also had one of the best zone P-Days I've had in a
while. We went to the beach on the Columbia river and had a BBQ and played
kickball. I tried to get as much sun as possible so people can tell the
difference between my skin and my shirt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">Well that was my eventful week, I love it out here and I
love this gospel of change. I am definitely not the same moody teenager that I
was when I started my mission and I owe that all the the gospel of Jesus
Christ. He is our perfect example and I know he will make up the difference
when we give our all to be better and follow his teachings. I love you all and
hope you have a great week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">I've never been so busy in my life haha it's awesome! We started our week out good with interviews. I always love interviews with President. He's the bomb! He always knows how to motivate everyone to do more with love. Elder Anderson, Brown and I then had a meeting with him afterwards to go over the missionary work in the zone. President gave us some great insights on what we can change to be more effective as a zone. We came up with a fun competition to get more investigators this next week so we could reach our zone goal of 18 new investigators per week. We said whatever district gets the most new investigators by the end of the week gets an ice cream party at there next district meeting. Well apparently the zone has been craving some ice cream because we got 24 new investigators this week as a zone!!!!! So our zone crushed it this week! We have another challenge lined up for next week too so stay tuned. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">This week we also had a meeting with the stake youth committee to set up some mini missions with all the youth in the stake that are older than 16. If you don't know what a mini mission is don't worry because I didn't either until I got on my mission. It's pretty cool. So what we do is we get a priest from one of the surrounding wards to come out with us the whole day and be a missionary with us. At 9:00pm we take them home but then they're back with us again the next day until 9:00 so they get to see missionary life and know what to prepare for. That should be happening in about to weeks so that will be super fun. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">An update on some of our investigators..... Leslie our 18 year old investigator is going to get back from her ROTC camp today so we have a lesson set up for tomorrow at the church. She has been praying and reading the Book of Mormon and we asked her to pray to know if Joseph Smith was a true prophet. We hope she accepted our invitation and we can ask if she got an answer tomorrow for our lesson. We also found 3 new investigators this week but we will be referring 2 of them to the Spanish Elders. Which leaves us with one new person to teach and his name is Anthony. We met Anthony in a parking lot in an apartment complex. He is one scary looking dude and kind of comes off as a jerk but once we got to know him he opened up and told us about his life. He has been through some pretty hard trials in his life. We talked to him about the Book of Mormon and the piece it can bring to his life. He invited us back and said he would read the introduction by the next time we came over so we are super pumped for Anthony and I will keep you updated on his progress. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,"EmojiFont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Well that's all the excitement I got for this week. I love it out here and thank my Heavenly Father for these short 2 years I have to represent the Lord Jesus Christ in everything I do. I love spreading this message of happiness and watching the effect it has on people. The simple knowledge of knowing we are saved from our fallen state by our Savior Jesus Christ gives me strength and gives me that desire to let everyone know there is a way back to our loving God. Stay fresh fam! </span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">What a week! So transfers were on Wednesday and man things were hectic haha President thought it would be a good idea to assign me to be a zone leader and we had to get everyone in their assigned cars and get all the luggage to the right place, get all the new missionaries in the zone keys to their apartments and make sure all the greenies got to the New Missionary Orientation meeting. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Then we got to my new area and we went straight to planning for 5 hours trying to plan the next District Leader Council meeting, zone companion study and the zone breakfast held by the stake. We had an early meeting the next day called Mission Leadership council for another 4 hours haha. It was a little stressful but fun for the most part. I got to see my trainer Elder Packer at that MLC meeting. It was so awesome to see him again and talk catch-up! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">The rest of the week was a lot less stressful so that was good. We actually got to get out and proselyte haha, The ward members here are awesome! They are so missionary minded and most of them actually talk to their neighbors about the gospel instead of saying they will and forgetting 2 seconds later haha. My new companions are so awesome! I knew them both from Portland and we are killing it as a tripanion-ship. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Oh something cool that happened this week, we have a 17 year old girl named Leslie who is investing the church right now and we wanted to challenge her to pray every night and day because she doesn't really have a relationship with God. Well before the lesson we texted the whole ward before we taught Leslie asking them to pray specifically for Leslie to recognize the spirit when we teach her about prayer. Well it worked.... the lesson went great and before we could challenge her to pray every morning and night, she said - I would love to focus on prayer before you elders come back next week for our lesson. Haha my jaw almost hit the ground. I know prayer works and if we humble ourselves before the Lord and ask him for help and we do our part and do everything we can, he will make up the difference every time. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">I love you all and love this great gospel! Have another great week - </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">yours truly Elder Taysom</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">What is up everyone! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">Hope y'all had a great week. This week was awesome! We had
an awesome district meeting on finding people and I think it really pumped us
all up to get out and do more. We talked about our mission's goal of 50
baptisms per month and we are probably going to miss our goal by like 8
baptisms this month but that is still the most this mission has ever had! When
Elder Anderson of the 12 came and challenged us to get 50 he said he knew there
were 50 people out there that are truly searching and are ready to enter the
waters of baptism, so all we have to do is find those 50! Hopeful we can get it
next month. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">After that district meeting Elder Brown and I decided we
needed to find someone who is ready to be baptized and we prayed that we would
be lead to them. Well we then started looking through our area book and came
across a couple names that stood out to us. One of those names was Shayna.
Shayna had been taught by missionaries before but she was not keeping
commitments. We decided we needed to visit her and set up an appointment. Well
long story short she said we could come back Wednesday so we did. We had one of
the most spiritual lessons I've had on my mission on the plan of salvation and
then we asked her if she would be baptized on Augustus 19th and she said YES!
Now comes that sad part. We got transfer news this Saturday and I'm getting
transferred. I am going to the Fishers Landing ward in the Vancouver East
stake. I'm supper bummed to be leaving McLaughlin and I will miss the people
here so much! I know a little bit about the Fishers Landing ward just because
I've been on exchanges there with the Zone Leaders and the members seem like
they're down for missionary work so I'm excited. Oh haha and my new companions
will be Elder Brown and Elder Anderson. There are 3 Elder Browns in our mission
and so I'm just trading one Elder Brown for another. My new Elder Brown was my
first district leader in Portland and I have always looked up to him as a
missionary! My other companion Elder Anderson was in my district in Portland
and we are like best friends so this next transfer is going to be a lot of fun!

<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Hey Fam!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Hope y'all had a great week. I'm going to start out this letter by just coming out and saying PENELOPE GOT BAPTIZED! It was so awesome! There was a bunch of friends and family there to support her and we had the opportunity to teach the restoration</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext", serif, emojifont; font-size: 17pt;"> to </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext", serif, emojifont; font-size: 17pt;">a bunch of non members, it was just great! We even got a Priest in the ward to baptize her. He has been preparing for a mission so we thought it would be a good opportunity for him to baptize someone right before he leaves on his mission. Oh and Penelope's mom was in tears during the whole thing and she set up a time to go to the temple with us because that is something sister Ruff is trying to work towards. </span></span><br />
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">I love the temple so much! We were challenged by our stake president to get as many people to the temple as possible so Elder Brown and I had 4 temple trips set up this week. They were all so awesome! We got to see the new video released by the church about Oliver Cowdrey's perspective of the translation of the Book of Mormon. I would definitely recommend watching it if you haven't had the chance. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">One of our temple tours was with a 21 year old recent convert named Christine. Her family situation isn't the best and she has a lot of bad influences in her life right now. The sister missionaries at the temple taught her about baptism for the dead and she started crying. She explained that she had a grandmother she was super close to that had passed away a couple years ago. Well long story short, she loved the temple and can't wait to go do baptisms for the dead. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">What's good y'all! </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Sorry I didn't write last week, we were out like all day as a zone so we didn't have any time to email, so I'll try and make up for the last two weeks in this email. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Well we started our first week out by finding Penelope. She is 10 years old and she lives with her grandma sister Ruff, but we just call her mom because sister Ruff doesn't like when we call her grandma haha. Sister Ruff has been a member of the church for most of her life, but she has been less active for a number of years now. Elder Brown and I decided to pay them a visit and we sat down and talked for a while and Sister Ruff just went on and on about how much she loves the church and the impact it has for the youth. We asked her if she would like to get Penelope involved in the church and she instantly said yes and explained that she would like her to be baptized as well. We wanted to say yes right then and there, and discuss a date for baptism, but we had been instructed 2 months earlier my our mission president in one of our zone conferences that we should not baptize a minor unless their parents are active. So elder brown and I explained to her that we would love for Penelope to be baptized but that she would have to become an active member of the church first. She actually took it really well and said she had been wanting to come back to church but just never had the push necessary to do so. Well long story short sister Ruff and Penelope have come to church these last 3 week and Penelope will be entering the waters of baptism July 15th!!!!! We are so stoked for Penelope! She has loved coming too and has made a lot of friends in primary. She was a little scared when we mentioned she was going to go all the way under the water but once we took her to another baptism in the zone, and she saw how quick it was, she got excited and hasn't stopped talking about her baptism this Saturday haha. So I will let you know how that goes next week:) </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Then we had the 4th of July and it was so fun! President said it was an all day P-Day from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM., so Elder Brown and I lived it up. We started the day out by going to Walmart and buying some sweet USA </span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><span style="font-family: "applecoloremojiui" , serif , "emojifont";">T-</span></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"> Shirts so we would look good for the Zone BBQ at 1:00. Then after the Zone BBQ we went around to a bunch of members and ate at their BBQs and just messed around and played basketball. Then to finish off the night we got a super rich member from my last area to come pick us up and watch fire works from his house. He lives on the top of a mountain that looks over most of Portland, so we saw a lot of fireworks. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">The Next day we had our Zone Temple trip! I love the temple so much! It was so nice to just feel of the peace in the house of the Lord. Our mission president challenged us to go to the temple with questions and promised they would get answered if they were sincere. It was such a cool experience to have all my questions answered and to just feel of the calmness that comes with the temple. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Then at the end of the week we had a fun zone activity where we put up this huge sign on the front of this freeway overpass that said "FREE BOOK OF MORMON AT NEXT EXIT". We had the rest of the zone handing out copyies of the Book of Mormon to all the cars stopped at the next exit. It was so fun and we handed out like 50 copies. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Well, that's a wrap on my week. I love it out here and I can feel my Savior's love stronger and stronger every day as we strive to bring others unto him. I know that he lives! I know he wants to help us! I know that he can help us, as soon as we are willing to change. Jesus Christ challenges all men to be better, so that they can feel true happiness. I love you </span></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext", serif, emojifont; font-size: 17pt;">all and hope you have a great week. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Shout out to my dad for always being there for me and getting me out on a mission. I love you pops and just want to thank you for putting up with my crap for 19 years haha! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">So this week was transfers! I will forever miss the Parker's Landing Ward! On Monday and Tuesday we went around and said goodbye to all the members and investigators. There are so many awesome people in that ward that I am really going to miss! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">BUT...... I LOVE MY NEW WARD. THEY ARE SO MISSIONARY MINDED!! Oh and my new comp Elder Brown is awesome! He's 20 years old. He's from Idaho and he's been out on his mission for 20 months now. I have already learned a lot from each him and he's just a stud. Elder brown and I have had a full week going around to all the members and investigators just introducing the new missionary in the ward.....AKA me haha. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">I like the new zone I'm in. There's not many hikes or lakes to go fishing in here but hey we can always just ball it up at the stake center. Oh so things about my zone, Elder Cook (my MTC comp) is my new zone leader and he lives in a 4 man apartment with Elder Finley (my other MTC comp) so when I go on exchanges with the zone leaders I could be rooming with both of my old MTC companions haha! It's a long shot but it would be so fun. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">My new apartment is pretty nice. It's not as nice as my last apartment but it's still one of the better ones in the mission. Elder Brown and I live with 2 other Elders, Elder Glover and Elder Smith. They are awesome and Elder Smith is a brand new missionary. He's been out for 5 days now. We have been playing pranks on him all week haha. Like on Wednesday (his first day out in the field) I called all the missionaries into the kitchen and then I said "I'll say the prayer" and Elder Smith asked why we were saying a prayer. So we explained to him that we pray over all the food in the whole kitchen once a week because we don't have time to bless every single meal. We have been doing little things like that all week haha! He's a cool kid and is a good sport about the whole thing. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Oh and the pictures I sent are of me and some members in the Parker's Landing Ward when I was saying goodbye to them all. The cool picture with the car is Elder Brown and I. We were just walking to this lady's house and I saw that cool old Packard in the driveway so I said to Elder Brown "let's go ask him if we can take a picture with his car and then see if he wants the gospel" haha Well, he didn't want anything to do with the gospel but he sure was happy to take pictures of us in his car. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText",serif,'EmojiFont'; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: .SFUIText, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Well that's all I got for this week. I know this church is true and I know I say that a lot but my testimony just keeps </span><span style="font-size: 22.6667px;">growing</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> and growing on the truthfulness of this gospel. I know that our loving Heavenly Father, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are 3 separate and distinct beings. I know that god has always worked through prophets and always will. I know this great gospel brings peace and happiness and it is our job as missionaries and members to bring others unto Christ to help them feel of the great peace and joy this gospel brings. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: .SFUIText, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: .SFUIText, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">I love you all and hope you have a great week! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: .SFUIText, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: .SFUIText, serif, EmojiFont;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Love elder Taysom</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">What's up y'all!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">This week was interesting. We had a lot of service again and had a lot of member lessons with the ward. We are trying to get around to every member of the ward and just share a quick 5 minute spiritual thought because of our last zone conference. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Elder Lawrence from the 70 came to our mission and taught us how to reach our goal of 50 baptisms per month as a mission. It's a pretty lofty goal because we normally only get about 25, but when Elder Anderson of the 12 came to our mission about 2 months ago he said we could double our baptisms per month and get 50! So Elder Lawrence pretty much just told us how and he said it's going to be through the members. He challenged us to visit every member of our ward and ask them to pray for 2 things, number 1: pray for missionary opportunities, and number 2: pray for the mission to reach their goal of 50 baptisms per month. He also wanted us to challenge our friends and family at home to do the same....... so JUST DO IT </span><span style="font-family: ".applecoloremojiui" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">✔️</span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"> haha I know with everyone asking for missionary opportunities and praying for our mission to get to 50 baptisms, we will see miracles. </span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">We just started visiting members to give them this challenge this week and we already have 5 new referrals. It works and I know this is an inspired plan and if we can get everyone behind it, we will have no problem with reaching our baptismal goal of 50. </span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: ".SF UI Text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;">Oh and I almost forgot, we got TRANSFER news this week. I got transferred and will be leaving Parker's Landing and heading over to the McLoughlin Ward. I'm really going to miss a lot of people here in the Parkers Landing Ward! I honestly wasn't expecting to get transferred but hey if the Lord needs me somewhere else then I just need to accept that everything happens for a reason and go with a smile. So next week I will be in my new area and my new comp will be Elder Brown. I'll tell you all about it next Monday, love you all and have a great week. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">This week was the bomb, we started our week out by going
mountain biking and fishing on P-day. It was so fun to get out and enjoy the
nice weather and catch some fish. Oh some updates on our investigators, Richard
True CAME TO CHURCH!!! He said it was the spiritual boost he needed and loved
it. David was out of town this week for his grandmother's 100th birthday so we
are meeting with him next Wednesday. Please keep them in your prayers, we are
going to try and put both of them on date this week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Something cool that happened this week, Elder Valentine and
I met with a guy named Wilber and he's 89 years old and he is just awesome! We
talked to him for a long time and went over the restoration with him and he
seemed really receptive to the first vision account. We invited him to church
but he said he was pretty grounded in his church (southern baptist). So I asked
him if we could go to church with him this Sunday and if we came that he would
come to our church the following Sunday. Well we went and its was..... well
interesting, I definitely had a lot of fun haha. Pastor Tim welcomed us with
open arms and prayed over us, it was a pretty cool experience haha. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;">Well sorry that all I got for this week, I know the church
is true! I know that God has always worked through prophets and he always will.
I know that the priesthood is one of the greatest gifts God has given us. Love
you all and have a great week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Hope everyone is having a bomb Memorial Day, GO USA ! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">This week was just awesome! Elder Valentine and I started out our week stopping by every one of our new investigators and just setting up a time we would come back and do service for them. Well it went great, Jerry invited us back for a BBQ and to help him set up a pool he just bought for his kids and it was awesome! He asked us a bunch of questions about the temple while we were helping him set up the pool, and now we have a temple tour set up for him and his family in 2 weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">We also got together as a district this last Saturday and went around to members and just random people outside doing yard work and offered to mow their lawns or just do anything that they needed. Well it worked a lot better than we thought because we spent the whole day in service clothes haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">We raked some lady's leaves, we helped 2 people move, we painted someone's barn and stacked a lot of wood. It is so rewarding to go around and offer small acts of service and see the joy it brings people to do something as small as bringing the garbage can in or doing there dishes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Our savior is our perfect example and all he ever did was serve others. I know that not all people are receptive to the gospel until they have been shown love, and that through your service, you care about them outside of a church setting. I know this church is true and I know that "when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." - Mosiah 2:17 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">I hope you all have a great week! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Love Elder Taysom</span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Hey everyone, it was so good to see all your faces last week for Mother's Day!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"> This week was pretty awesome! We had a lot of miracles. So we started the week out by visiting a bunch of less actives in the ward. We stopped by Virginia, she's in her 70s and lives alone with her pet bird. She has the biggest John Wayne movie collection I've ever seen because she said he reminds her of her dad. Virginia hasn't come to church in over a year and we prayed to be able to get through to her to know why. Well prayer always works but I didn't expect it to work that fast because when we walked in she said "boys I want to go to church but I don't want to take the buses". So we called up a member nearby and now she has a ride to church every Sunday. So that was definitely a miracle for the week and we had another one that happened just two days ago on Saturday. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">We got a new investigator named David. Elder Valentine and I were walking past the library in our area and stopped to listen to some homeless people that had formed a band and were playing music for spare change. Well we sat there for about 5 min just listening to these guys play and just started talking to people about the gospel because there was a small crowed gathered around. We talked to David and he recognized we were missionaries and asked if he could come to church with us. He from Tennessee he's in his low 30s and is a pro bass fisher and he actually came to church this Sunday!!!!! It was so sweet! He had a bunch of questions that we answered during the whole meeting and then during one the the hymns, he asked us about baptism. We asked him if he would like to be baptized and he said YES! So keep David in your prayers as he works towards baptism these next couple of weeks. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Well that's about it from me for this week. I know this church is true and miracles still happen today. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that the message we as missionaries and members share is a message of hope and love. I love you all and hope you have a great week.</span></div>

We kicked their butts haha We were just walking by and asked them if they wanted to play us and then we beat them and now we're like super good friends with a bunch of them! We are starting up a basketball night at the church so they don't have to play on the sucky asphalt!</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Hey y'all </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Hope everyone had a great week. It's finally starting to warm up here in Washington so that probably means it's about 100 degress in St.George haha. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Well I loved this week! Elder Valentine and I started out our week by having a lesson with the twins. We ran into a road block with them. We went over the law of tithing and their mom did not like the idea of the girls giving up 10% of their money even though they don't have jobs. So we are hoping to study up and try and address their mom's concern in our next lesson. We also had a lesson with Richard this week. We went over the Plan of Salvation and the spirit was so strong. We are now working on getting him to church this next week. And we picked up this new family named the Stricklands. They are super solid and we have a lesson set up next week with them so just keep them in your prayers. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">So that was just a quick update on all the people we are working with right now. The work in our area is picking up and I'm supper excited for the Parker's Landing Ward! Oh and last Saturday, Neil L. Anderson visited our mission and he gave us some great council. It was so awesome to hear a prophet of the Lord encourage us to do better and complement us at the same time. So that was definitely a highlight of the week! Oh and I went fishing last Monday. Sorry to let you down dad. We didn't catch anything, but it was still way fun. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext" , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 17pt;">Well that's really all I've got for this week. I can't wait to see you all on Mother's Day and I love and miss you all. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">

<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Happy 4-20 and happy birthday to my second mom Sandi Imlay! Hope you all had a great week! So this week was just awesome! I got a new comp because my last comp broke his leg. So I am now with Elder Valentine and we have been doing great. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">We started the week out by going to visit a lot of less actives then towards the middle and end of the week we just tracted a bunch. We had an awesome lesson with our investigator Richard this week. He let us in finally and we went over the restoration. We then talked to him about the Book of Mormon and what it means if it's true. We then asked him "What would you do if you came to find out this book is true?" He said " Well I guess that would mean I would need to be baptized by that proper authority" so we challenged him to read the Book of Mormon and to pray about it so I hope to be sending good news about Richard next week. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Oh something cool we did today, our zone did a competition against all the other zones and we won so today we got an all day P day and we went with president to the beach! It was so awesome! We went to Cannon Beach and that's the beach where they filmed Goonies! It was so much fun and I'll make sure to send a bunch of pics. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gadugi" , "sans-serif";">HAPPY EASTER
EVERYONE! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gadugi" , "sans-serif";">Wow what a
week! haha This week was pretty crazy but fun. Elder Taylor and I started our
week out by knocking on 1000 doors just trying to find someone to teach. We
legit biked so much this week! Like my legs are getting so fit haha. But after
knocking out like 3 apartment complexes we found Richard. He's like 55 and he
has some form of cancer. He talked to us for a while and said he was really
wondering what happens after this life and so we taught him a little bit about
the plan of salvation and set up an appointment to come back. So I will keep
you posted on Richard because he is super solid. Then towards the end of the
week is when everything just went nuts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gadugi" , "sans-serif";">So our investigator
Tami, in my last area, got baptized last Saturday and they invited me back for
that baptism. I'll talk a little bit more about that in a sec, but Elder Taylor
and I were looking at all the bus schedules so we could bus down to Portland
because we don't have a car. Anyway the baptism wasn't until 2:00 so we had
time in the morning to bring our investigator Jonathan go play ultimate frisbee
with the priests. So we went and we were having a grand time until Elder Taylor
jumped to block a pass and came down on his ankle funny. So elder Taylor went
down and his ankle swelled up really big so I drove him to the ER to get an
X-ray and it turns out he spiral fractured his fibula. So now Elder Taylor has
to go get a hard cast tomorrow for 3 months and he's not allowed to put any
pressure on it. So yeah keep Elder Taylor in your prayers. I called President
to let him know what was going on and he said Elder Taylor is probably going to
be transferred to an area with a car so he can get around, so I might have a
new comp the next time I email. But other than that the week was great. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gadugi" , "sans-serif";">I went to
Tami's baptism and the spirit was so strong. It was so good to see her
surrounded by the ward making her first covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ. It
definitely got me in a good mood going into Easter Sunday! We should always
remember Jesus Christ and it's something we covenant to do each week when we
partake of the sacrament but it's nice to have a specific day to remember that
our Savior completed the Father's preordained plan to redeem us from our fallen
state. Knowing that Jesus Christ rose again and overcame death brings me so
much peace and joy. Like it says in 2 Nephi 9:10 O how great the goodness of
our God, who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful
monster; yea, that monster, death and hell, which I call the death of the body,
and also the death of the spirit." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "gadugi" , "sans-serif";">I don't know
about you but death and hell doesn't sound very fun to me haha. I know that
Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world and I love this Easter
season that reminds us to keep our Savior in our thoughts and actions at all
times. I love you all and hope you have a great week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hey everyone!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hope you had a good week! Elder Taylor and I have been
working hard in our new area. The work is a little slow here so we prayed and
asked that we would find some new people to teach. We then knocked out like 2
apartment complexes and found 3 new people to teach and have return
appointments with all of them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are also teaching a pair of twins that are doing awesome!
The missionaries have been teaching them before I got here and they are on date
for baptism for the 29th of this month. So we are so stoked for that as well!
Oh and the weather here is just awesome! The sun finally started to show up
here. We did have a crazy wind storm earlier in the week that blew a bunch of
trees down, but other than that, the weather was great.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh so crazy story time...Elder Taylor and I were just
knocking doors and this guy answered the door and started cussing us out, then
he open the door and all of his little kids ran out the door at us and they
were all naked! Elder Taylor and I just ran because we didn't wanna touch any
of these naked kids and look like pedophiles! haha Then the guy called the cops
and so Elder Taylor and I just biked back to the apartment as fast as we could.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well that's all I got for this week the church it true and I
love serving in the red white and blue!<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
This is my new companion, Elder Taylor. He's from San Diego, California, so he's not perfect (he's not from Utah), but he's aight...JUST KIDDING, HE'S AWESOME! We've been hitting the pavement in Parker's Landing and this week was good.<br />
<br />
We got a big challenge from our mission president to get a 20 percent increase in the work from last year and so we had some pretty big goals this week, but so far we've been hitting them! It's been really good. We found 5 new investigators, 5 Elder? ("7" says Elder Taylor), 7 new investigators here! The works really picking up. We're not sure how many of those 7 are solid, but we've met with a couple of them and one of them, Tiffany, is super awesome! She let us teach her the first lesson and we gave her an assignment in the book of mormon and she's got a young family so we're excited to teacher her! We've got Jonathon. We've been teaching Jonathon since before I got here, but he's awesome. How long have you been teaching him Elder Taylor? ("3 months" says Elder Taylor). And he's going good. How old is he? ("17) So we're excited for Jonathon. We invited him to watch the priesthood session and we're gonna follow up to see if he did because he had family over so he couldn't attend with us.<br />
<br />
But Conference was the bomb! It's like the super bowl for missionaries! And Tommy Monson's like the quarterback! hahaha I'm just throwing out analogies here left and right. But conference was awesome! We had a lot of those investigators watch conference and we were really texting them and pushing them to watch it and so we've got to follow up this week and see if they did and what they got out of it. I always love conference! They focus a lot on missionary work so it definitely pumped us up.<br />
<br />
We sent you a video of us on a hike today. We were on a raft. That was a real raft. We didn't fake it. We got permission from president. (smiling face, big eyes;) Anyway, this week was the bomb! I love you family. We're gonna get back to pday and hope you have a good week!<br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Hey everyone! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It's me Elder Taysom. Hope y'all had another great week, I know I did. So transfers were this week and I am now balling it up in the Parker's Landing Ward. I love it here already mostly because we have the 2nd nicest apartment in the entire mission, but also because we already have 2 new investigator and 2 twins on date. I'm super excited to get things moving again in this ward. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Anyway we have 2 new investigators! We met them at the skate park down the hill from our apartment and that's how we met Austen and Dillan. They are best friends and came over and started talking to us and started asking us a bunch of deep questions. We said we would love to answer all of their questions but we had an appointment to get to so we set up an appointment with them to meet up and go over the discussions. So we are super pumped for that next week. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It's really funny because our area is really small so we get to know like everyone in our town. Oh and something cool about our ward is we have president Anderson in our ward! He's a member of the mission presidency and he is so good at motivating us and hooking us up with a bunch of food. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Hope y'all were wearing green. This week was awesome, we had a bunch of appointments with our investigators. Not much has changed with all of them since last week but keep praying for Robyn, Sarah, Tami, Donald, and Ieda. They could all really use your prayers right now. But other than that it was just another great week as a missionary. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Oh we got transfer news this week, I will be leaving sunnyside and heading over to Parkers Landing in the Vancouver East Stake and my companion will be Elder Taylor. Elder Taylor is awesome! He was in my district a couple transfers ago and we are going to do some great things in Parkers landing. I'm going to miss sunnyside though. The ward here is just awesome! There are so many families I have grown to love and I will miss them so much. I have tried to take as many pictures with the families and investigators we have been working with as possible. I have seen my testimony grow so much here in these last 4 transfers and I know the sunnyside ward is where the Lord needed me at this time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">I just hope I did all I could to build his kingdom in the short 6 months I've been here. At times I've have felt overwhelmed with all the work I see that has need to be done but as always my spirits are lifted as I turn to the scriptures. As I was reading in Alma 37:6 when Alma is talking to his son Helaman about keeping a record of his people, he said (6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.) This scripture hit me so hard. I know and have a true testimony that our best is enough, but only our best. I think President Uchtdorf said it best when he said, "May we always remember this profound lesson: that we are banner bearers of the Lord Jesus Christ, upheld by the Holy Spirit of God, faithful and true to the end, each one devoted to give our all to the cause of Zion and bound by covenant to stand close together and lift where we stand." I read this talk and that scripture in Alma the same day that I was questioning my effectiveness as a missionary. I know God answers prayers and he did so to me through his appointed mouthpieces. This gospel has eternal consequences and there is no greater work over bringing salvation to God's children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">I feel like I'm preaching to the choir but I do know this is where I'm supposed to be and if we all "lift where we stand" and give our all through small acts of faith, there will be "great things brought to pass". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">I love you all and hope you have a good week! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Love Elder Taysom</span><br />

<br />
It's me and Elder Read here. We're just getting ready in the apartment to go proselyting, but we've got a few minutes so I thought I'd send you a video letter. This week was good. We had Robin on date but we've got to work with her a little more before she's ready for the promise of baptism so that will be a little bit. Tammy has moved her date back, for a good reason, but we're excited for Tammy. We're about ready to go to a lesson with Sara! We're gonna go out with the Zabaldo family. We're gonna go get some food and then have like a family home evening with her and so that will be super exciting.<br />
<br />
Elder Read, what else?<br />
<br />
"Why is he so good at basketball? He broke my ankles."<br />
<br />
(Tanner dabs:) What can I say ya know? I thought it ran in the family, but then I watch my older brother Carter play basketball....hmhm (shaking his head). I think Dal's got it, but not Carter. hahaha Just wanted to roast ya!<br />
<br />
This week we did a lot of service like we went and chopped some branches when I was on exchanges with Elder Packer, we went to the bishop's storehouse and do a lot of work there every week...a lot of walking. Sara, her apartment is on this side of the area, and we're over here on this side of the area. Here's our map of the area. Point where Sara lives, now point where we live. Yeah so it's a long ways, and we make that walk like twice a week. But that's ok its good for us! It's getting me thinner and I need to lose some weight, but...<br />
<br />
Donald, he's awesome! We're still working with him and I love Donald! He invite us to a Blazers basketball game and I asked president if we could go, but that one got shut down quick...pquoo! haha<br />
<br />
Umm I don't know...we're just having fun out here! Transfers are coming up and I'm probably getting transferred. I talked to president in my last interview and I was like, do you think I could slip you a twenty dollar bill and I could stay in Sunnyside for another transfer, and he was like, "How long have you been in Sunnyside?" And I was like, "six months" and he said, "Oh no you're leaving". So it's not a guarantee, but I guarantee I'm leaving, so that will be super sad, but I guess it will be good. I love a lot of families here! But anyway, that's our week! I love you all!<br />
<br />
Bye<br />

<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">Hope all is well back home! This week was just awesome! We got 2 full days of sunshine and it's finally starting to warm up a little. We also did a lot of work with our investigators. Some updates on our investigators.... Sarah our investigator on date for baptism for March 8th is still awesome. She is progressing so well but she doesn't feel like she's ready for baptism which sound like a bummer, but I'm glad she's honestly seeking truth and wants to know more of the doctrine before she promises to live and keep it. Our other investigator Robyn (that we have been working with for a long time) finally decided to come to church! She loved it and said she felt peace while she was there. She now wants to be baptized on March 18th because that's her 3 year anniversary of the day she decided to be drug and alcohol free. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;">The last investigator I wanna talk about is a new investigator we got this week. Her name is Tami and she is just awesome! She got introduced to the church by her husband who is a member, Brother Harris. They got married about a year ago and when they got married she knew he was a Mormon and she told him "I don't want you to push your religion on me, I go to the Catholic Church and you go to the Mormon church, that's it" Well obviously that didn't really work out because over the past year brother Harris taught Tami little by little about the church through his example. Well finally brother Harris invited her to church and she had a great time! She has been coming for the past 5 weeks and when Elder Read and I gave our talks in church last week about member missionary work, she felt like she needed to be a member missionary by inviting herself to take the discussions haha. So she came up to us in church and said " Hi I'm sister Harris. I'm not a member of the church but I would love to learn more. I signed up on the dinner calendar to feed you this Wednesday. Would you be willing to teach me more after we eat?" Elder Read and I almost didn't believe it because that like never ever ever ever happens haha. I wish that's how missionary work went haha! Anyway, the lesson was awesome and the spirit was so strong as brother Harris bore his testimony to his wife. She is now preparing herself to be baptized on March 25th. I'm so excited for them and would love to see them sealed in the temple one day. I will probably be leaving Sunnyside on the 22nd, but it will be nice to come back with my new companion for the baptism. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: '.SFUIText'; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: .SFUIText;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Well that's all I got for this week. I would like to bare my testimony that I know the Book of Mormon is true! I had no idea of the importance of the Book of Mormon and what roll it plays in testifying that Jesus is the Christ. It wasn't until recently, that I discovered why </span><span style="font-size: 22.6667px;">Joseph</span><span style="font-size: 17pt;"> Smith proclaimed it to be the key stone of our religion. It is physical proof that we have modern prophets, that the first vision did happen, and that priesthood authority has been restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. Anyone who fulfills Moroni's promise can know of the same truth. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: .SFUIText;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: .SFUIText;"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">Well that's all from Elder Taysom this week. Tune in next week for more ....... if you want I guess </span></span><br />
