That sounds like it was a great time out riding and hunting! I sure do miss the mountains but all the time green-ness is growing on me. This week was a bit crazy with Conference and everything the week before we dropped investigators if they didn't come to conference. So this past week we just street contacted like crazy!!! Except the craziest thing happened we are teaching a guy right now in English!!! He lived in New York for like 14 years so he knows English really well. Lets just say that it is the weirdest thing Ever!!
Thanks dad for understanding about the truck and being so awesome about it! I am glad I have you for a dad and you understand..This week another crazy thing that happened was I got attacked by three stray dogs in one day!! I don't know what it was but the dogs just didn't like me that day or something. It was so funny though we all had a great laugh and are still joking about it! This week was pretty boring nothing to exciting to write about. I am glad you are having a great week dad and have been able to get out into the nature!
This week I have been studying the Atonement and oh man! It is incredible and the more I learn the more desire I have to serve and my love for this Gospel grows and I feel how much our Savior loves us! Well dad I hope you have a great week to come!! I love ya.
Love,

Mom,
I would so have to agree with ya Mom Elder Dupe's talk hit me so hard and definetly was one of my favorites and one I needed to hear! They all are incredible men! I am so glad those two (Syd & Ster) stopped by and they are both doing good, tell them both I said hello and hope they are doing well! Please tell the Thompsons I give them my best wishes and they are in my prayers. That is good to hear about G and getting out of that straight leg contraption. Don't worry about Colt he is doing fine tell him he needs to write me and I will see if everything is good and what not. Tell Kyle I loved his picture and I will send some more home next week.
This week has been a bit slow just street contacting like crazy cause we don't have very many investigators. So its been a lot of walking around and not letting one person go by without saying something.
Thanks for everything mom, sorry its short I don't know what to really write about cause not much has happened. I can't believe I will be getting new companions again already on Wednesday! Time sure has flown! So we will see how this turns out. With change comes growth! That is what I have found and is why we must change and continue to change!
Thanks for little messages at the end of the emails mom, I feel great after and I love getting to do that! Well mom that is it, I love ya mom to the moon and back and then some!!

"We send out Elders to preach the Gospel. Who sends them?…The God of Israel sends them. It is His work. There is no mortal man that is so much interested in the success of an Elder when he is preaching the Gospel as the Lord that sent him to preach to the people who are the Lord's children. He begot them in yonder world, and they came here because the Lord wanted them to come. We feel that you missionaries will make a grand success, because we sense and know that you have been called of God. The wisdom of man would never have thought of such a work as this. I am suprirsed when I think of its greatness. I can say that it is the very work that is necessary at this time: and I feel that you will enter upon it with your whole souls. Cultivate the Spirit of Jesus when he said he could do nothing except that which his Father gave him to do (see John 5:30)."….Lorenzo Snow
This is an answer to my prayer as to why Wes was called to serve the people of El Salvador and not the people of Idaho. :) the Lord called him to serve His children because he knows his strengths. ….a testimony builder for me; He does know us and he does answer our prayers on His own time and when we are ready to accept the answer.
Looking forward to more photos; hopefully next week….
