Happy Father’s day to all the Dads out there!

But a special shout out to my own Dad who is such an amazing example to me and I know everyone that has been in any of his classes that he has taught has left a better person then when they started. He has helped out so many people and just keeps going. He taught me how to help when someone is in need no matter who they are. He has taught me and my siblings how to hold to the Iron rod and set the example of loving the Lord and serving in His church.

Go tell your parents that you love them!

 

It has been a really fun week, Elder Boyd has been out a year now so he went to the Temple on Thursday so I was in Canyon City which is a biking area, and it was so much fun to bike around all day! We also had exchanges with the Zone leaders on Tuesday and that was a blast! I got to work with Elder Garton again we were comps about 5 months ago!

Things have been going really well, Elder Boyd is getting transferred tomorrow, I am going to be staying here in Westcliffe another 6 weeks I am super excited! I love it out here!

Hope that you all have a wonderful week and go and do good things this week it will make you and everyone around you smile!

It has been a super fun week! We had Stake Conference Sunday so that was super fun because I got a chance to see a ton of people from the Pueblo ward! The Denver Temple President and his wife were there and they talked a lot about how important it is to make the Temple a regular thing. Going often is really good but also setting a time where that is the day and time you go. Don't give yourself and excuse not to go. But make a plan to go. I loved that and though it so fitting with the Temple in Tucson about to be Dedicated here in little bit.

We had a really great exchange with the Rye Elders this week, I went to Rye with Elder Worthing, it was really good time we went to a Mission Call opening for one of the Young men in the ward, We also found a man would say he is a witch. He said he would like to learn more about our Church and we set up an appointment to go and meet with him! It was really fun to talk with him a little bit!

We went on an amazing hike today to a lake called the Lake in the Clouds. It was a 10 mile hike and we went up to about 12000 ft. Westcliffe is only at 7800 so we went up a good amount. The air was super thin, it was so worth it though! Parts of the Trail was covered in snow so it was kind of sketchy to not really be sure of where you were going or if I was on the right path.

It made me think about the different times in life I was not 100% if I was doing the right thing, but just like those times in life we have the help of someone who has been there before. On the hike it was an Elder who had a hiking GPS in life it is the Savior and the writings in the Holy Scriptures. I really liked the lesson I learned from that hike.

Trust in good sources and good things come trust in not so good sources and you will get lost.

I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, He will never lead me into places where I will get lost.

Love you guys!

 

If you get a chance to go tour the Tucson LDS Temple let me know what you thought about it! I can't wait to see it when I get home!

Hello everyone!

It has been a pretty good week here in Colorado, not too much has been happening however... Elder Boyd has been pretty sick this week.

We did have Zone Conference and it was fantastic! We talked a lot about Faith in Christ, and why it is so important. With what we know about God's plan of Happiness for His Children, us, we know that it is only through Faith in our Savior that we can be saved and have any degree of lasting joy. When we build upon Faith in Christ we are promised in the scriptures that "we cannot fall" not it will be hard to fall but that we will not ever fall if we rely upon Jesus Christ. I learned so much from studying this principal and I am so happy knowing that the Savior of the World has my back!

We also got a call from one of the Guys we work with one night and we talked for a long time about how much we are loved by Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They know us and care about who we are becoming and the steps we make every day. I feel so blessed having had the chance to testify of that to this good man!

Westcliffe is so Beautiful here are some pictures from last night!

Love you guys be safe!
