Dear Family and Friends,

Wow, I am so filled with conflicting emotions right now! This past Saturday Elder Bewall and I moved all of our stuff out of the infamous Williston house into our stinkin' nice new apartment! It's a brand new building and we are the only ones living there so far! It's probably the nicest apartment in the mission! Too bad I don't get to enjoy it much! In the clubhouse we get free soda and we can reserve the lobby for Bible studies with people and there's a sweet fire pit right outside with some nice grills! Right now I'm emailing from the computers that tenants are allowed to use whenever we want!

 

Yesterday at church we talked with a man in our ward and he gave us 3 referrals! Woohoo! Then we went and taught one of them last night with him and new people kept piling in the room one by one and we ended up teaching 5 people! Most were from Africa. I can just feel it...we keep meeting and teaching all these new people finally and we will probably have at least 2 baptisms this new transfer...but I won't be here for it!

We have been biking for the past few weeks because Elder Bewall's little accident got both of our driving privileges taken. Biking is way fun though!!

Today we had the possibility of getting a transfer call and surprisingly we got one!

I hit my 10 month mark the other day! Wow, this mission is flying by so fast it's ridiculous! Shout out to all of my friends and family out there on missions or preparing for missions right now! I really hope that one day when we aren't so focused full-time on doing missionary work that we can all reminisce with each other and catch up:) 

The Lord is real. I know that is true. I know that God has an unimaginably magnificent plan for each and every one of us. He loves us, and if we listen to the whisperings of the Holy Ghost we will feel His love every single solitary day. May we all press forward each day continually becoming more like our Savior and our Father in Heaven. It does not happen all at once. That is for sure. But I am a living witness that through our Savior's infinite and eternal Atonement our hearts really can be changed! He has paid the price! His grace is sufficient! Grab hold of it! Let it change you.

Btw, after just 3 short months in this beloved Williston, North Dakota, I am privileged to go to Miller South Dakota. I'm way excited:)

I love you all! You are all my brethren and sisters in the Lord. Keep up the good work and I'll see you sooner than we know it:)
