Family,

Well it sounds like you are all having a great time back home. I am glad that Mom and Dad enjoyed there time in Anaheim. Sounds like Nicole and Eric are doing really well. How are the boys doing with school and sports? Also it blows my mind that Bryce is about to graduate. How is that going, you holding in there? I am glad that you two were able to go to the mission prep fireside. That is cool that you were able to speak with Elder Ford. To answer your questions yes it is hard but i never expected it to be easy. This is a work to bring souls unto Christ and something that important, i would expect it to be hard. Satan tries to stop the Lord's work from moving forward, but remember God will win. Plus when you look at all the blessings that come with it all you can do is be grateful and happy. I was actually listening to a talk the other day that talked about the loneliness of leadership and trials we go through. I love that they made the point that we will have hard times, feel lonely, and trials that seem unbearable, but if we use our free agency to stay on the path towards Christ and follow his commandments we have the promise that we will have the comfort, peace, and companionship of the Holy Ghost as we go through the trials and after they are through we will have grown so much and become one step closer to what God sees us as and what we want to become. We can do it! Well this was a good week. We were excited to find a new ami named Yannic. He is really cool and had so many questions. He told us how he had been looking for a church and now it has been a long time sense he has really gone to church because he could not find the truth. It makes his a little hesitant to listen, but also so great that he really is searching for truth. Also we have an ami named Serge and we were not really sure if he was interested or just meeting with us to be nice. Well this last RDV we taught the Plan of Salvation and half way through it he started to take notes and ask us a ton of questions. You could see that the spirit hit him and he just wanted to keep learning more. Another cool thing this week is the young family we taught last week. They are still really interested and have started to read the Book of Mormon every night. It is funny because i feel that the work has slowed down a little bit the last couple weeks, but as i am writing i see how many great things are happening. Well thanks for all the support you give me and know that all is well with me. Please pray for me and my companion (Elder Williams) so that we can continue to find people to teach. I love you all so much!
JE T'AIME!!
