This week we had zone training and we read the story of Ammon and Aron from the Book of Mormon. I was great to review how the work of the Lord as not changed and He still wants us to come and know who He is.

Things are starting to heat up here we have had highs above freezing like 3 days in a row! I miss heat but at the same time I have gotten used to the cold and so I don't know if I would be able to handle it right now. It is still way too cold to do stuff out side but I am looking forward to when I can running in the mornings again.

So to address the elephant in the room.

BRONCOS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!! Last night about 845ish everyone with a car stared honking their horn and lighting off fireworks. It was a good time for all. It sounded like it was a pretty good game from all the people that we talked to.

At one of our lessons this week we talked to this Man about how we have a Father in Heaven who loves us. That we are the Children of God. We have been trying to help him understand this for a while now with mixed results, for a while he thought that God was an alien, then that he didn't exist or that we were some sort of like social experiment and religion was created to "keep the peace"

We have been encouraging him to pray and I think we are starting to make some head way with him he made the commitment to pray this week!

I taught Sunday on the Priesthood and I have been thinking about how wonderful it is that part of the Restoration of the Gospel is also that God has again blessed us with the Priesthood. Once again our Father in Heaven has given us the opportunity to partake in the saving ordinances of the Gospel such as baptism and the Sacrament. It is such a wonderful gift that God has entrusted to us. He allows us to use the same power that was used during the Creation of all things. I know that the priesthood power of God has been restored and that His Church holds it.

I love you all and look forward to hearing from you each week!
