Well I hope all is going well for all of you. Life in the mission field is awesome, never a dule moment unless you are sleeping and even then, you have pretty epic dreams. I realize this is going to contradict what I just said, but I don't really have anything to report on this week. It was a little slower but a good week, we saw miracles happen and so I can't ask for anything else. This next week I will have something cool to report, Elder M. Russel Ballard is coming to the mission and so we get to have a mission conference. So I am pretty excited to have that happen. Well I hope life treats you well.

Sorry it has been a while since I have emailed everyone, I have been really busy with all sorts of stuff going on, I wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and everything. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying life. Things here in Indiana are going great, just working as hard as possible. It has been a fun little bit with snow and all of that good stuff, but it makes it fun stories to tell to everyone. I wish I had something fun to tell everyone, but I don't really, I know it must be shocking for all of you I don't have very much to say but, I will end on the Gospel of Jesus Christ is amazing and it truly changes us when we embrace it and makes us better people and improves our lives. Well I hope every one is well.

I hope everything is going well for you and all is going on, first of all I just want to tell Jeremy and Lauren congrats on the baby girl. I hope all is well with the rest of you and that everything is going well for all of you. The work here is going well with us, it is amazing how much things are changing in the mission field with the increase of missionaries coming out. It is truly amazing how the Lord's hand is in this work. Well I have to get going but I hope all is well with all of you.

I wish I had something fun and exciting to tell everyone, a fun fact, the next two transfers we will get a total of 60 new missionaries and only loose 10 and so we are growing a lot with the age change which is awesome to get to see happen. It is pretty insane the amount of change that is happening to accommodate all of the growth that is happening, hopefully all goes well with it.
I am doing great and am just enjoying all of the missionary things we get to do which is awesome, it has truly changed me for the better and I am glad to be out here serving the Lord for these two years. I hope all is well with all of you are doing well. I hope to hear from you soon. ( That is a hint to send me a letter)

All is well with me here I have nothing new to report on other than the work goes well and it is amazing to see how much the Savior does for us each and every day even hour. I can not tell you how much I have felt the Lords love for each and everyone of us, It is amazing to see the change we are able to accomplish with the help of the Savior. It is amazing to see that Christ was able to accomplish all things that the Father asked because of His love for all of us. He was sent here out of Love. Coincidence I don't think so.
Well I just wanted to share a spiritual thought today, I hope everyone is doing well and that you are all enjoying the cold, I am not but I enjoy being on a mission, so all in all enjoying being out here. I hope everyone is doing well.

The work has been going well from up North in Mishawaka, it seems like each day is a new adventure. It is awesome to be out here and serving right now, the work is going to change with the age change. It is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! This just shows how much the Lords hand is in this work. But I want to talk for a second about a lesson I have learned recently. It is how much we matter to God, we may not always see how a particular trial or problem could be for our benefit but anything our Heavenly Father does for us is there is a reason behind it. It might prepare us for something that he knows is going to happen in the long run. It is amazing to see how much he truly is in our lifes. One of my Favorite quotes is "We are Nothing, but Everything to God." Well I hope all is well for each and everyone of you and everyone is having a great New Years, make sure to keep your New Years Resolutions.
