Peoples!!

I hope you are all super excited for this upcoming week! I know that I am! Every week is a good week! Something my Mom has always told me is that being happy is a choice. I like to think and apply that to everyday. We have very little control of the people around us and what they do. However we are in control of ourselves and how we react to the things they might do or say, I have come to find for myself I am much happier when I keep this in mind! I hope that it helps some of you as well!

This week we volunteered with Parks and Rec here in Pueblo, we were painting over graffiti and it was so much fun! Then the next day we went to the Zoo and were raking leaves and I climbed a tree, all in all it has been a good week :)

We have been working on finding new people to teach and so we went tracking and we found 2 people that were super receptive! They both took a copy of The Book of Mormon, and asked us to come back this week! I am so excited to see what happens with them!

It is so crazy how fast time goes by, it feels like just a few weeks ago that I had just started my mission off in Del Norte! I have come to have a great love for the people here in Colorado and I now truly know that we are really all children of God, He has a wonderful plan for all of us, and we are designed to be great! I love this Gospel, I know that Christ lives and I hope and pray that you know that He loves you!

Be grateful for what is available to us, don't focus on the doors that are closed but on the beautiful day ahead of you.

This week has been so busy!

The first week of the Month is meetings pretty much every day, however we were still able to do a ton of work here in Pueblo!

We were able to find a ton of new families to work with! It has been really awesome to see Heavenly Fathers helping hand this week.

We were out heading to an appointment and one by one everything canceled and fell through. Then we got a text from Mormon.org with a referral and we went by and we were able to invite them to read and pray about the Book of Mormon and then we also started to teach His roommate and we are going to invite them to be baptized this week! Elder Hagman and I are so excited they are so prepared to receive the Gospel.

We went on exchanges with the Elders down in Walsenburg and it was a ton of fun! We were worked and trimmed trees at the towns cemetery and then we went a visited a bunch of people and invited them to come to church Sunday for an Area Broadcast.

We were able to hear from Elder Rasband, Devin G. Durant of the Sunday school Presidency and Ulysses Soares of the 70. It was wonderful!

Elder Rasband talked about how the Gospel is One by One, there is not time when we are not known one by one. That is how the Gospel works one by one. It was really awesome to see how personal the Gospel is for us.

I loved Devin G. Durant’s talk as well! He gave a shout out to his nephew who is on his mission in Missouri and was just super funny! He talked about how we can serve in our callings and teach in the Saviors way, seeking to understand the people we serve every day.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

I hope that you all have a great week, and I hope you have a safe Halloween! Be careful tonight!

This has been a fun week! Carved Pumpkins on Monday and I roasted pumpkins seeds and they are fantastic! I followed a recipe that I got off of the food network website ahah it was great!

We had a Zone Conference this week as well and I really liked something that the assistants talked about, they taught on the Plan of Salvation, and how it applies to our lives and how we can change because of it. Think about it, we can Change because God has given us the power to do so! I really like that! I know that there are lots of thinks I need to do to change and I can do that with the help of Christ!

We went on exchanges with the AP's as well and it was a ton of fun! We were able to go tracking and we found a new investigator and we are going back this week! It was really fun, we were doing service at the Pueblo Zoo hanging up Christmas lights! We put up like 60 candy cane lights it was really fun!

I had the chance to speak on Sunday and I talked about Elder Bednar's talk from last conference, "If ye had known me" It was I really liked his talk! There are a lot of things that we "know" but how much of what we know do we believe? It caused me to reflect a lot about what I know, believe and apply to my life. It was wonderful to study the words of Prophets. I love reading over conference talks and gaining new in sites about life!

Thank you Brother Andrews for your letters! I love getting them every week and they always help!

I hope you have a great day and know how grateful I am for your friendship!

Love you guys! I hope you have a great week!
