We had a leadership meeting up in the mountains last week on friday and it was really good. All of the zone leaders, the district leaders, the assistants, and President and Sister Maynes were there and President and the assistants gave us some really good trainnings(lessons "for" missionaries). One of the things President Maynes Talked about was how we need to be on Fire and he used some really good scriptures and it was really powerful. One of the scriptures he used was Luke 12:49 and he also used the firs vision in JSH and some others. It was really awesome. And I really want to be on fire, we each have to set ourelves "on fire" and that happens from having Love for God and really really working, for him, for his chldren, and for it. Forgetting yourself and going to work as well as really praying for it. And me and my companion and I have both talked about it and we are going to do it. And we are going to help eachother do it. Thank you Mom. You are awesome and I love you, take care and I will talk to you again soon.

Sorry I didnt hit the send button fast enough last week. I sent the email to you already today. That is good that you can stand! We have had a lot of rain over here in Colorado this spring. It was kind of nice, a nice change. But now it is hot and summer is here. A positive about this though is that more eople will be out and about, or more people to talk to. I love you a lot mom. Thank you so much. This email made my day. I hope you have a great day as well. Thank you for all the prayers. They make such a huge difference. Transfers are next week so it will be interesting to see what happens. I just want to work harder and harder. He is blessing me a lot. I feel like my faith has really grown a lot lately from just realying on Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to overcome some obstacles. I love them. And I fee like God wants to bless us with a lot of miracles over here, we just need have faith, a positive attitude, and work really hard, then they will happen. I love you Mom and take care!

Thank you for the email. I will definately Pray for Uncle Bobby. Let me know of any updates please. I know God is a God of miracles and as long as there is faith miracles will not cease. I miss Oregon Strawberris they are the best. I think that was President Summers who called you. He told me before I left junction that He was going up to Oregon on a trip soon and he wanted to maybe stop by and see my family. I gave him our phone number and address. I dont think I need anything but Meri said she would sen my a pie and I haven't gotten the pie yet. So maybe I could get that soon. haha. But we are doing really well we just had a baptism and confirmation just recently and we have a lot of investigators on date to be baptized. The Lord is really blessing us over here it is awesome. How is Liz doing? How is Everyone doing over there? Let me know please! thank you. Love you Mom.

SUmmer should be there now shouldn't it? Its already here in colorado. Its hot, too hot. Luckily we do have a car with AC though. I do miss being in a biking area though. Thank you for the update. Things are going well here. Both me and my companion are staying. so we will be together for another six weeks. I believe it will be an even better transfer than this one was. We have investigators on date and we could help several children of God make the covenants of baptism this transfer which will be really wonderful. I do really miss one of my previous companions a lot. Elder Croft, he was a boss. I do still hope I'll get to serve with him again in the future. You still need to email me those talks. I would really appreciate it if you get those to me soon please. I would really love to have them. Thank you Hannah you're prayers love and support are amazing. I've noticed on my mission that all the people I have helped and I'm helping right now have all had to deal with hard challenges in their life. And Im pretty sure they have all prayed for God to help them at one point or another. And He sent us to them. It is amazing really how much the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ helps these children of God. I love it. I love to be apart of this. Our Mission President went with us to a lesson last week and afterwards he said "it would nice if we could teach the people in business suits and that are doing well but they won't talk to us. So we'll take those that will listen." Its true, typically those that think they are fine won't listen to us. Those that have hard times know they need help and their hearts have been softened and they have been prepared to hear our message and accept this gospel into their lives. It is so wonderful. I've been told by some of these people that they will always be affected by what God has done for them. They won't go back. It is amazing to think about. Epsecially with all of the crazy things, and really bad things that are spreading and becoming more popular. There is still good here in the world. And we do need to lay hold upon every good gift, and we do that by Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Love you Hannah and thank you for being such an awesome sister. Take care.

Some really really good things are happening in our area. We have been teaching a mother and a daughter. The mom is really awesome and loves meeting with us and she has been bothered by evil spirits b4. Not like she was taken over but they would go in her house and scare her. And so we dedicated her home and it did help. She really notices the difference when we are there. She can really feel the spirit, which feels so much better. She has agreed to be baptized and is set on date, she is just really worried about her daughter cause she isnt making the best choices with her life so we are really trying to help change with the gospel and lots and lots of prayer. I have also noticed since I've been on my mission that it seems when you are a missionary you can
become a lot more sensitive to noticing the spirit, and its absence. But also more sensitive to feeling an evil spirit neer. Dont get worried mom. I am fine. But I have noticed in a few of my areas that when people are drinking or under the influence, or are making bad choices with their lives, they dont have the spirit of god with them. I know they don't really know that they have an evil spirit with them but it is true. Another Testament
that God is on our side. I know this work is true, love you im out of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
