Hello!  Hope everyone is doing well!  Thanks for all the emails.  They made me smile and brightened my day.

Alright.

Well this week was pretty interesting.  It was hard because we didn't have much success.  Hardly any members could come out with us at all this week to teach. We couldn't find any new people to teach.  Most of the people that we are teaching didn't come to church though.... It was lame.  Its hard to really get people to want to come to church.  They think it isn't important, but its basically the most important part!  You can't learn as mush or use the atonement completely or get that boost that everyone needs each week if you don't come to church!  So yeah... anyways,

We had an exchange this week in Rock Springs with some elders there.  It was sweet.  I feel so close to home when I am there.... ha ha only 5 hours away!  Its crazy. But we had a good time. Taught some lessons, found some new people to teach, and got yelled at for chasing a random bunny and throwing a rock at it.  (I know it was immature and a stupid decision, but there was no need to freak out about it like this Lady did.)   But we apologized and then she called us some bad words and then left.  Ha ha.  You live and you learn right??  two lessons in this experience. 1) Don't throw rocks at rabbits. and 2) No matter where you are, even if it is an empty, open lot that looks abandoned next to just a couple other houses, someone is always watching!  Gotta be on our best behavior.  We are representing the Savior and I don't think he would throw a rock at a rabbit, so we shouldn't either.  Like I said, you live and you learn. 

So yeah.  Then came back to Evanston and worked hard with still little success.  Its been frustrating, but this week should be better.  We spoke in two wards yesterday.  I spoke on the Atonement.  I love learning and speaking about this subject.  It is central to everything we do!  It is the only way we can live with God again.  It was cool.

Anyway,

We have to go down to Salt Lake tomorrow for a zone leader council meeting, but the rest of the week we should get to work in our area.

So yeah.  Well.  Thats about it!  I love you all!  I hope everything is going great!  

God lives and He loves us.

Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.

The church is true.

Godspeed.
