Hello Dear Loved Ones!

Boy I am praying for you.... I love you.

I am excited to hear about how spring break was for you! Will you please send LOTS of pictures...mom I have not changed. I am still in LOVE with pictures. 

Sad day that Purdue lost..I heard it was by one free throw? I will make sure to go PC around the athletic building this week and see what I can do! (we do that anyway..I LOVE THE ATHLETES!) 

Well this week was good...spring break so we blizted crawfordville and Lebanon and boy.. I forgot what it was like to  be in the "classic towns" of Indiana haha. I have pretty blessed as to the places I have served in Indiana but, most towns are a little interesting and we talked to some funny people let me tell you! 

1. Sister Ivan and I were walking down the street and there was this motorcycle gang all just chilling outside just drinking a beer...they are Heavenly Fathers children too though so we went up and started talking to them! Turns out they are all a bunch of ministers who go around town and preach to the people who are in jail and in rough situations. We all talked about what Jesus meant to each of us and it was the one of the best moments of my life! haha They all came up and gave us a hug..one of them tried to give me 20 dollars..and I quickly redirected the conversation to saying a prayer all together! haha Indiana...is full of life and color. :)

We talked to a lot of grad students this week and got some new investigators! We are excited about that! :) We are excited for all our progressing investigators to come back! :) 

Felicity, stephanie, chrissy, Lee, and Ivy are killing it! They are all doing very well! I love them! Erika and Watson are solid as a rock and faithful member s of the church! :) I love missionary work...the other day we were driving back from lebanon and I just  had this moment in the car, and realized that I could do this work forever! Can you all come to Indiana for me and I will have best of both worlds!? :) I love sharing the gospel and I love the opportunity I have had to love people. Luckily that doesn't ever end..no matter what you are doing but, the mission is a good place for JUST that...loving. 

I love you all! I love this quote.. 

"Since that upper room experience on the eve of Gethsemane and Golgotha, children of the promise have been under covenant to remember Christ's sacrifice in this newer, higher, more personal way....If remembering is the principal task before us, what might come to our memory when those plain and precious emblems are offered to us?"

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Remember....I have found that half the battle is just Remembering what you promised. There is power in diligence and living a faithful life. I have been studying the war in Heaven a little this week and as I was reading in the bible dictionary- I read a part where it talked about the 2/3 who did choose to follow God's plan, and as it talked about us...it said that everyone's devotion to Christ varied. I can just imagine some of raised our hands with the greatest desire to follow Christ and some of us supposed it would be a okay plan.. But, one thing I love is the enabling power of the atonement. We can change...maybe some of us were not all "gun hoe" about following this plan but, we are here and given an opportunity to repent and change our thoughts and behavior! The atonement is something I love! I know that change is possible.  I am so thankful because I have a lot to do.... 

I love you! :) Have  a wonderful week!
