"Hello my wonderful and amazing friends and family!!!!! its 70 degrees in NV! So, I have a challenge for you. I want you today, to write down in you journal, what your Savior means to you. There are so many miracles happening in Las Vegas, and so many wonderful stories. I love serving here!!!!! My two new greenies are amazing!!!! One of them even had a class with my sister Emily at BYU I! Small world huh?? Sister Clevenger is from Illinois and Sister Walker is from Missouri!!! They both ROCK!!!!!! Well there is nothing greater then loosing yourself in the service of your fellow beings. When we loose ourselves in the service of others, we find the greatest blessings! The greatest blessing I have found is coming closer to my Savior Jesus Christ! I love Him! I give my life to Him! HE is amazing, and truly saves. Our lessons have been so spiritual. Its amazing- You can literally feel the spirit enter you and give you the words to say when we are teaching, and then feel it move from you to your companion, and then back to you...ahhhh I want to serve another mission after this one! lol I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK! We had a lesson in the ghetto- right off the strip the other day. It’s so awesome there. We had a lesson with a Black Man, who spoke Spanish, who was born in Brazil, but raised in Africa, that also spoke French and English...what!?? haha! it was great! The lesson rocked!! Also, many of the areas the Elders serve in, they are the only white guys. It’s so funny because they will challenge people on the street to basketball. If the people loose, they have to take the discussions! Everyone always thinks they can beat the white guys, so the take the challenge...and in return are now learning the gospel of Jesus Christ! We have had so many lessons lately, and the windows of heaven are definitely opening up! The second coming is drawing nearer....its so important that we are being the best that we can be. My life is completely immersed in missionary work! I dream about our investigators, I pray for them, I think about the people we are teaching while I brush my teeth...my lunch hour is spent making appointments because I am so excited...and I woke up at 1:30AM three nights ago and was sad it wasn't time to get ready and go tracking! haha oh dear....missionary for life! Sister Clevenger and I played basketball with the elders yesterday! That was fun!!!! I think I am turning into one of them! haha just kidding....well its time to go! we have 2 lessons tonight and have lots of happy visits to make. Enjoy the day!!
