April 25th, 2016

So I forgot my camera again... I am really bad at taking pictures though so there really are not very many new ones... whoops
It is the week of transfers; both I and my companion are staying here in parker!
It is really awesome here now that i kind of know where things are at we have been able to get a lot more done!
We are trying to find more people to teach and it is starting to pick up. It has been really awesome to meet so many new people in the wards that we are working in!
This past Sunday at church the speakers were great in the YSA one Brother talked about how if you want to be happy then you have to follow the plan that leads to happiness and compared it to wearing a retainer after braces. If you don't wear it your teeth will become crooked again but if you do they won't just like in the gospel if you are doing the small things every day it will be much easier for you to make those good choices.
We have been doing a lot of service this past week we went to one horse ranch and shoveled snow for like 2 hours after the freak blizzard dropped like 20in of snow on us last weekend. Then we went to Goodwill the next day and helped them out going through the donations. (Weird stuff comes in to Good Will, like really weird) And then we helped out at another Horse ranch! I did not know how much I liked Horses until I came here to Parker. It is really awesome how many horses there are up here.
We had dinner last night with this really awesome family and they had 2 sets of twins! it was so much fun to talk with them they are super young and so we got some very interesting questions about our lives and they were very excited to hear that I like the color green it was something that they went back to very often to make sure that I wasn't making things up.
I have been studying a lot in the Book of Mormon this week and I have been reading about Ammon and his service to King Lamoni. Ammon came in and was taken all tied up before a man who could have killed him in a second if he chose to, and when he was invited to become a member of the Kings family he just said that he would be a servant to the king instead. He then risked his own life so that he could help safe the king’s flock. The king was in shock when he heard about all of this and he asked Ammon who he was. Then Ammon just taught him the plan of God to bring all of His children back home.
Let us all chose the better part and serve each other that is what leads to the most happiness in this life and the life to come.
Thank you Brother Andrews for your letter this week! I always love hearing from you!
I love you all and I hope and pray that you will know and feel how much our Father in Heaven loves you as well this week.
Elder Stewart
