and another week bites the dust!

HELLO!!!

can i just say how amazing missionary work is, yes it is hard, but man it is fun!

my greenie keeps reminding me of that, i prefer the planning side to going door to door, but with her its the opposite, and she is teaching me her ways!

really it is crazy white washing an area, i have more time this week so i will explain more fully. so we got moved randomly into an area, then we have to start from scratch, no appointments, we only had one really solid potential investigator (some one who is looking at the church), but its crazy how much work we have been able to get done!!

.... i dont know what to say

so i will talk about granite mountain some more!
its really cool just seeing how just a new set of missionaries can excite a ward, we have gotten SO MANY referrals!! just all... all the referrals :) which is like giving a kid a piece of his/her favorite candy i have decided.

 really the work is great and my greenie is great!! also my other companion is too i guess :)

i just... i just love being a missionary, like alot! it is just crazy to me how i can show up on someones door and just immediately love the heck out of them, then they slam the door in my face and i knock on the next one and i love that person!

i just want to testify of the realness of God today. I KNOW that he is there, i was almost in tears this morning, (just from reasons) but he comforted me, and every day as i have been fighting my depression, he gives me the courage and strength to keep moving forward, to keep hoping, and to keep trying, despite how hard my trials may be. My sister got in a car crash, and yet some how, she and her family were miraculously protected. We almost got in a wreck once when sister hederson was my companion, somebody randomly stopped, and we bumped their bumper (so that is why it is called that) but we all got out of the car, and there wasnt a dent or scratch on either vehicle. we had hit just slow enough and just as he started to roll forward,so the momentum easily transferred over.

we were talking in gospel principles on sunday about how we know Heavenly Father is there, and how we know he loves us. and for each person it is different, but for me it is all the small things, its the sun always rising and always setting, its the perfect distance we are from the sun, its a breeze right when i need it or seeing snow on the distant superstition mountains right when i am missing home or just a random person being like hey i am going to hug you when i am having a rough day. there are just to many and too big of coincidences to be coincidences! i am so grateful for my heavenly father and the example he is to me!

alma 30:37-45

 37 And then Alma said unto him: Believest thou that there is a God? 38 And he answered, Nay. 39 Now Alma said unto him: Will ye deny again that  there is a God, and also deny the Christ? For behold, I say unto you, I know  there is a God, and also that Christ shall come. 40 And now what evidence  have ye that there is no God, or that Christ cometh not? I say unto you that  ye have  none, save it be your word only.41 But, behold, I have all things as a  testimony that these things are true; and ye also have all things as a  testimony unto you that they are true; and will ye deny them? Believest thou that these things  are true? 42 Behold, I know that thou believest, but thou art possessed with a  lying spirit, and ye have put off the Spirit of God that it may have no place in  you; but the devil has power over you, and he doth carry you about, working devices that he may destroy the children of God.43 And now Korihor said  unto Alma: If thou wilt show me a sign, that I may be convinced that there is a God, yea, show unto me that he hath power, and then will I be convinced of the truth of thy words. 44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs  enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets?  The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God;  yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its  motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do  witness that there is a Supreme Creator.45 And yet do ye go about, leading away the hearts of this people, testifying unto them there is no God? And yet  will ye deny against all these witnesses? And he said: Yea, I will deny, except ye shall show me a sign.

i give you my personal witness that There is a Heavenly Father, and also a Christ!

man, i have no idea what is fun for me to write, (any requests?) we were seriously considering biking 12 miles to church because we have a limited amount of miles, like if it did not cut into our proselyting time we would have done it!

apparently if the top of a cactus gets frozen it stops growing..... so yeah this happens :)
