Hi :)</div>

1) I am not sick anymore :)</div>

2) We woke up to run at 5:30 today and we walked outside and there were two raccoons in the tree. Terrifying because I hear those things are mean. I ran away while my companion exclaimed how cute they were.</div>

3) Our mission president called us into the office this week and gave us the keys to a BRAND new car... Like we drove it off the lot new. I have never driven a new car. It even has a backing camera so now when we stand behind the car and back we can dance for our companion's pleasure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

4) Now onto things that actually matter... Arionna got baptized!!!! It was a very powerful experience. When she got up to bear her testimony and told her dream experience, the whole room got totally still and warm. When her friend Eric baptized her, he is waiting on his mission call btw, I felt chills go down my spine. I just knew that the power of God was being manifest by a 18 year-old boy who was trying his best to be good and clean. The power of God is manifest in covenants and without actual physical manifestations of our commitment the gospel is hollow and empty for us. Covenants change our very nature. I am so proud of Arionna and her strength to the hard thing that was right. Now we are working on getting her into BYUI!</div>

5) Insight from J. (ok the insight is now wayyyy down there...sorry) Update: J. is the man we tracked into at the beginning of my stay here. He was in prison for 22 years and got out 2.5 years ago. He is one of the most insightful and intelligent people I have ever known. Teaching him is a dream for me. He accepted my challenge to read 9 chapters in the Book of Mormon a day. NINE. I have never been so grateful for my countless readings and studies of that book. I have needed every insight and piece of information that I have ever acquired to teach him. I truly have felt the Holy Ghost bring to my memory facts and insight that I can barely remember where I learned it from. I have been able to tell him the lineage of Lehi, diagram the 12 tribes and all the promises and specific prophecy that each event in the Book of Mormon fulfills. I have never loved the Book of Mormon so much. I feel so alive when I get in one of these conversations with him. Things just flow into my mind and I make connections that I never realized I had made before. It is awesome. Anyway, insight, he said "A God fearing man is one who is totally obedient to God and wants to be". Then he said how all he wants is to be a God fearing man but how far from that he is. I think we are all far from truly being willingly obedient.</div>

6) So our investigator D. is trying to stop smoking among other things. We try and set up appointments but have found that showing up is way better with her. It seems as if every single time we show up it is right as she has walked outside to smoke. We find her on the porch about to lite up. The other day she goes, "You keep coming as I go to smoke! Heavenly Father I get the message!" She then said how profound it was to her that we always seem to show up right when she needs us most. I believe strongly that we are sent to those that need us and will accept us. I also believe that God's hand is in every day to day moment if we allow it to be.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
7) Our family of 7 is doing good!! Half were at church and the bishop sat down and talked with the whole family and parents. It was so awesome. Pray for the family please!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
8) We picked up a new investigator who is just so amazing. His name is W. and he is an African American man who was a marine for many years. He is the most humble soul I have met. I can not wait to teach him more.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
9) D. is great as ever. We showed up for a lesson and he goes, "you are just coming to check on your sheep and make sure I am still eating the right kind of grass." "Don't worry, I am still eating the right kind of grass." haha it was great. The ward has been more then wonderful to him. I am so grateful for all of them.</div>

I am out of time but I have more to share! Next week I guess. Enjoy the ending of May!</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"></span></span> <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"If you understand the Plan of Happiness, what goes on in life won't determine your happiness." Elder Scott. I loved that quote this week. We had some ups and downs and rough patches but after all is said and done, it doesn't seem to matter. I am happy and life is good.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Moments from the week:</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"></span></span> <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We helped at a funeral and at a baptism. It really put life into a new perspective because of the peace and calm that was at both events. I felt God in both activities and I know death is not the end. Happiness and joy are waiting for us at the end of all of this.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">- </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">They decided to teach 20 mins of our gospel principles class on why people should feed the sister missionaries and how to overcome the HUGE obstacle of gluten free... I was dying. I just wanted to talk doctrine and they are talking us! This one lady got it in her mind that gluten free was impossible so the whole room had a discussion on possible meal options I could eat. It was just bad. I am grateful for a ward that is so supportive and kind to us though, they treat us so well.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">- Arionna is getting baptized on Wednesday!!!! YAY!!!! We had a huge up and down with her this last week. She almost got kicked out of her house by her aunt for the church and different things so we were scrambling to find her somewhere to stay. After lots of talking and praying her aunt and her came to terms and all is well for now. Whew. Ari is so very prepared and can't wait to be baptized!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">It RAINED! All week. I think my companion, who is from Washington, brought the rain. We had some major water and lots of puddle jumping in the dark when no one was watching. We have an image to uphold so we had to be careful :)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; line-height: normal;"></span></span></div>

I am so stoked about teaching them and see a lot of potential in them. They have Mormon family and want to get into church. The big obstacles are smoking and some family issues that are hard to overcome. Dad is not to thrilled about this all. So pray for them! Natasha and family. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></div>

In December..... but it turns out he couldn't get baptized until then anyway. So I thought it was pretty cool that his answer was the first possible date he could get baptized. God doesn't want us waiting. I told him I would be back in Dec anyway so it was on! Meanwhile he needs to start attending church.....baby steps I guess.</span></div>

I will quote a text from him to try and show you how awesome and kind he is to us. “Sisters you're awesome. I thank the Almighty God for bringing you into my life at the 11th hour, that I truly needed help. Now I can only count the many blessings and happiness I experience in my day to day life being sober. I now relate with people better and I'm leading a meaningful life here on earth. You're simply amazing people and keep up the good work you're doing. God bless you sisters!" He took us to a buffet to eat because he simply insisted on taking a turn at feeding the wonderful sisters. He is thrilled about home teaching and can't wait to take his father's name to the temple soon.</span></span></span></div>

My mission president invited me to do it to finish strong. It was an awesome experience and I was able to feel the spirit very strongly as I really determined what I had left to do out here. Two of the goals, to pray for a minimum of 10 mins each night before bed and to read a minimum of one chapter from the Book of Mormon before bed, have been so helpful! Some days we get home and I am so spent and worn out but being committed to doing those two things has changed my attitude getting into bed and therefore changed my whole day.<span style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"> </span>I know He listens to us when we pray and I know he is waiting to answer us through the scriptures and the Holy Spirit. I plan on never stopping these goals. Life long commitment. <span style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;">Hello!!</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;">My last and final companion is wonderful. She is a convert of 2.5 years and we get along really well. I can't wait to train her and to see all the miracles. I feel so lucky to get to be the one.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;">Dennis passed the sacrament and that was wonderful to see. He called us up one morning just to tell us how proud he was of the good work we were doing. It was the greatest motivational booster ever. He is being so strong even though many around him are mocking his choices.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Arionna is also doing really really well. She came to church and loved it. She also had an incredible dream that further pushed her towards baptism. It should be in the next couple of weeks. She said our lesson this week was a direct answer to her prayer and that was a confirmation to me of the preparation and spirit that goes behind everything we do.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We had a really really good lesson with Jen and Chris this week. They are ready to get baptized as soon as their parents jump on board. They both have really strong testimonies of the church and a desire to have a family in the gospel one day in the future. They are 15 and 11 years old and were met while contacting.</span></div>

She is facing some serious negative feedback from her family about the church. It is really sad to see and hear some of the things that people are telling her. She read the Book of Mormon everyday though and we are slowly getting her ready to feel strong enough to come to church and move forward.</span></div>

He texted us right as we were waiting for another appointment with a member to teach. The one lesson canceled and we took the member and went to teach Randy. It was a very powerful lesson and he is now preparing to get baptized. He is someone that I contacted about two weeks ago.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;">WHAT A WEEK!!!</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dennis got baptized on Saturday. It was such an incredible journey we have taken the last three weeks with him. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The day of his baptism we went over to his house before hand and he came running in a little late. The night before we had gone over the priesthood and how he would be given that soon. He ran in a said, "sisters I am so sorry I was late! I was getting my hair cut. I am going to be getting ordained and I have to look good before my God". It was adorable. Then after his baptism he was just so happy. On Sunday he was asking about who made sure we kept the rules as missionaries. We informed him that we were accountable for ourselves a lot of the time. He said that he was tempted to drink coffee and then he said, "But I have made a covenant with my God and nothing is worth breaking that over". What a powerful moment to realize that you want to do something out of a desire to keep covenants. After his baptism on Saturday night I asked him what he would be doing. He said he was going to go home and read the Book of Mormon for an hour, write down his feelings and sleep like a baby because he felt so clean and free. He scanned his program and sent it to his family in Kenya so they could know he was a changed person. As he puts it, no more living like an animal for him! He found his purpose.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We were walking down the street one day and this big giant tire comes rolling down the road…. Some man up the street is loading a dune buggy type thing into is truck and does not notice his tire leaving him. I call out and said, “Is that your tire?” He jumped up and we begin to chase this thing down. It was really quite funny. Maybe you had to be there.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">James is doing pretty well. He got into some anti-stuff but then again, who doesn’t? I can take on any question at this point, I’ve heard them all. I almost like it….I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help but enjoy myself sometimes. He is intent on reading which is key and he actually came to church!!! And brought a friend!!!! It was awesome. I was telling the member who came to the lesson that he is my best student because he always reads. I said he got an A+ and he goes, “well maybe an A- because I’m not baptized.” True that James, true that. At least he knows what we are there for, right? I am at a point in my mission where I have no time to mess around or beat around the bush. Not that I ever really did that anyway. The gospel is just too important for anyone to take it lightly.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We have a new investigator named Michael who we taught and then he came to church. He is set for baptism on the 9</span><sup style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18.9333324432373px;">th</sup><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">of May. Include him in prayers please. I want to teach some females but it </span>doesn't<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> seem to happen for me.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I learned this week even more of the why behind my current companion and area. I have these moments where so many things become crystal clear for me and I am grateful for those moments. They sustain me and keep me going. It’s like for an instant I can see without the world blinding my sight. I am so grateful for good people and good hearts. I love this gospel and I decided I was born to be a missionary.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"></span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">In my whole mission I don’t know if I have ever faced so many hard challenges or had some many hard moments as I have this transfer- but I also know that I have seen more miracles and received more blessings in the last 4 weeks then I thought possible. God will always compensate our struggles if we turn to Him. Include Him in everything and you will come to know that He was already involved in everything.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: black; line-height: normal;">Love you all</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Vista is a great place to be a missionary. I am getting quite a tan out here and talking to 150+ people a week on the streets. Some days my mouth is so tired from moving when I get home…. I never thought I would say that :)</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Last week we started teaching a man named Dennis. He is from Kenya and came here 5 years ago. The sisters talked to him outside of his house back in December but he was never taught. I saw his name in the phone and I felt like I should text it and ask if he would meet up with us. He agreed and we headed over one night with a member from the ward. Long story short, he is getting baptized on Saturday! Teaching him has been a privilege and blessing. He gave up drinking alcohol every day after coming to conference that first week and didn’t relapse once. He is reading the Book of Mormon in English and his native tongue every day and loves to meet. At church on Sunday he remarked that he felt like he had come home. The speaker was talking about the prodigal son and he leaned over and said to me, “Sister Huber, I was lost but now I am found!” I just smiled because he is right, anyone who makes in into the church building on Sunday is found. I asked him if he had prayed to know if the Book of Mormon was true and he said, “This book is true. It teaches me about Christ so I know that it is true”. One other thing, Dennis is determined to be in the Mormon Tab Choir in 5 years from now....I told him to go for it! We were sitting in the building and he goes, "Sister Huber, I am the only black person here". At the very moment the screen scanned to a black member of the choir and I put my hand up and pointed. He started laughing and decided it didn't really matter what anyone looks like because we are all children of God.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Stacy’s baptism was wonderful and the spirit was felt so strongly. She started laughing as she got out of the water and just wanted to hug everyone she saw. She said she was deeply moved by her baptism. It was great to be a part of that and to help her understand the testimony she already had.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Another miracle is that Wilson and Carmen got baptized! I got to call Wilson on the phone because they were hesitant about going through with it. We talked for 40 mins and I was able to answer his questions and calm his fears. The next day I drove up to Temecula to see it happen! Afterwards they both were so happy and told me they felt clean and thanked me for all I did. I was so glad I got to go back and be there for them. What humble and faithful people they are.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black;">We were trying to decide where to go one day and I felt strongly that I should read through the former investigators in the area book. There were 50 plus sheets and I knew we only had time for one or two. I prayed and then picked three names to stop by. The first name I had picked was a lone house on a busy street by some apartments in the rougher part of town. We knocked the door and a man covered in tattoos opened. We found out that the person had moved and before we left I asked him if we could share our message with him. He hesitated so I asked again. This time he said yes and gave us his info. The next day we taught him and he then came to conference! The reason I share this all though is because of what happened the next lesson. He didn’t want to meet at his house so we met at the public library. We brought a couple form our ward and reserved a room to meet in. It was perhaps the most powerful lesson I have ever been a part of. In that little room in the library we felt the spirit so strongly. When it came time for me to share the first vision I opened my mouth to speak and instantly the room and entire library went entirely silent. <span style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"> </span>I can’t really explain what happened but one second there was buzzing and beeping and noises from outside the room and the next it was 100% quite. It was like a blanket was put around the room. I shared the account and then the noise started back up. It was a powerful reminder to me of the importance of Joseph Smiths prayer and the answer he received. <span style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"> </span>James, the investigator, is faithfully reading 3+ chapters a day in the Book of Mormon and I can’t wait to continue to teach him.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black;">This whole week was full of right place, right time moments. I am getting pushed and pulled in ways I haven’t my whole mission and I am grateful for the chance to grow and finish strong. I am grateful for the sacrament and the chance to repent. Trying to make it a practice to sincerely repent every day this week has helped me so much.</span></span></span></div>

First off, I am getting transferred out of Chaparral. It is a bittersweet moment for me. I have been here 6 months and I honestly feel so at home. I feel like these people have become a very close family for me. I am grateful for all the goodness and love I have been shown by them. I will never forget this time. I think I have learned more about what it really means to be a missionary here then anywhere else I have served. I have learned what it means to sacrifice and what it means to be lead by the spirit. I have learned what it means to believe in and experience miracles. </div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">The Spanish sisters' car was in the shop so we got to taxi them around for 3 days which was really fun because they cover the whole stake. Yeah, being an STL is the best. You get to do all the fun stuff AND all the logistical stuff. It's a riot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">Avianna is a new investigator and she is SO golden! She grew up going to a Christian school and believes in God and Jesus Christ but has some hang-ups about going to church because of some bad experiences. But we got to talk to her and she's really excited to come to church. The main issue is that she's super sick and gets dizzy really easily. She got a shot for something and they hit a nerve or something awful so supposedly she's going to have dizzy spells the rest of her life. She's only in her late 20's. It's so sad! But we love her a lot and are so excited to teach her! So keep her and her health in your prayers! How we found her was a miracle. We decided to randomly tract like 5 houses at 10 am. She had been sitting on her couch feeling sick and very lonely. She was praying and we knocked on the door. Because of that she said she wanted to listen and knew that God sent us. I love getting to be an answer to a prayer! </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;"><br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></span></div>

Mason and his family are awesome, too! They're doing so well! It's been so fun to see them go from not even knowing the difference between Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to being able to tell us why baptism and praying and going to church is important. At the beginning, little Sumo told us, "I lost my faith!" (because he was confused about what faith actually was) and now he loves going to church and he knows what it really means to have faith. </div>

Dean's doing really really well! We had an awesome lesson with him on Tuesday. We couldn't get a member to come with us so we sat on his front porch in lawn chairs and talked about Conference and the Prophet and kind of the basic set-up of the church. And finally, FINALLY Dean said the closing prayer. We have been waiting for that moment for 2 months and it happened! :) He hesitated at first, and then he started and tried to think of things to say and he even tried to get me to finish, but we just sat there and waited and he prayed. It was such a sweet moment. (We found out from him last night that apparently Jaydean was sitting by the window listening and when Dean walked in after the lesson Jaydean goes, "Wow, dad, that was terrible!" HAHA! Kids are too much.) Then in our goodbye visit last night he prayed again and it was basically so great. It was sincere, heartfelt, and it just seemed easy for him to do it. Both were proud "mama" moments. :) We taught Jaydean the Plan of Salvation by drawing it in Chalk. When we got to the perfect body part Jaydean went right to work on his picture. I looked over and asked what he was drawing and he looked up and said, "my 6 pack". Oh my goodness. </div>

Carmen and Wilson had been struggling, not calling or texting us back, so we decided we'd just stop by. We called Sis. Esmedina (their fellowshipper) a few hours before to see if she could join us and she could. And let me tell you, it was exactly what was supposed to happen! We show up and Wilson is hesitant to let us in because he said he was finishing eating. Sis E said something in Tagalog and he let us in:) So we go in and he says that after he's done he's going to color his mom's hair. Hmmmmmm that's convenient. I didn't even ask permission from sister Price to allow her hair skills to be used before I said, "Sister Price can do it! She does hair! She's a pro!" So she colored Carmen's hair, Sis E and I read from the BoM in Tagalog and talked about tithing and the experience that she had, and we talked about church and all these wonderful things and Wilson just softened. It was SO wonderful! By the time we left they had committed to read and pray together and come to church! The whole thing was led by the Spirit! So Sunday comes, and Sis P and I had decided that we needed to fast for some miracles so we did. (We went to 9:00 church with Thu and her family because they couldn't come at 11, so that was great!) And then we're at church, sitting in our pew, per usual, and Alan is with the May's, Ember is with the Francis', and Dean and Jaydean are sitting together. And Sis P and I have our usual bench all to ourselves because noone else came. So sad. We're waiting and praying for Carmen and Wilson to show up; Sis E walks in late and asks us where they are. When we told her they weren't there (yet) she looked like she was going to cry. All of sacrament was wonderful. Then I'm sitting there during the closing prayer and praying in my heart for a miracle, and I feel someone walk up to our bench and sit down. The prayer ends and I look over and there is Carmen! She was literally an answer to prayer! (As it turns out, Sister Price was praying for the exact same thing and had basically the exact same experience. Comp unity for the win!) Tons of people walked up to Carmen and Wilson and introduced themselves! They stayed for 2nd hour and we talked about agency and all its components and we were talking to Wilson after and he said that he felt opposition as he was trying to come to church and so he knew it's where he needed to be! :) We're hoping for their baptism this Thursday so keep that in your prayers! </div>

I went to say goodbye to Sharon and she told me that some of her neighbors were trying to get her to go to their church. She said how she went to a bible study with one during the week. She then said this, " When I go to our church I feel like I am getting into a warm bed" I know I am where I need to be. We talked about how God lead us to her and how she was so prepared to accept the gospel. I thanked her for her faith and we made plans to reunite in the temple one year from now. I have learned so much from Sharon. </div>

Alan Sanchez. Man this one makes me sad to leave more then almost anything. He is just incredible and teaches us all so much. We had a break through lesson with him this week that was probably the best lesson I have had my entire mission. We have been reading a chapter a day in the Book of Mormon with him and then we discuss them when we meet. It is like a roller coaster with Alan and some weeks he loves what he reads and some weeks he just gets plain upset at Nephi. When we showed up on Wednesday for the lesson we could tell something we different. We were in our members home who have been incredible to him and really taken him in. We quickly find out that it was the anniversary of his dads passing 16 years ago. We start the lesson and he brings up that he read the ENTIRE book of Genesis that day to prepare for the lesson as well. All 50 chapters mind you because he thought that the Laban from Nephi was the same Laban from the book of Genesis and he wanted to really understand his story. If that doesn't show dedication to learning and understanding I don't know what does. We were all sitting there frantically flipping through Genesis trying to figure out what he was talking about (Turns out they are related but not the same person). I think it was quite insightful of him to make that connection though. That is just one small example of what it is like to teach Alan. We have to be on our toes ALL the time and nothing gets by him. It is one of the most powerful and spirit filled things I have ever done though, God has given us the ability to be enough for Alan. As we were talking Alan through down his Book of Mormon, looked me in the eyes and said: why does it matter? Why do you go to this church? Mormonism is only 200 years old and yet you claim it to be the one and only true church. Why? Each of us in the room then had the opportunity to answer that question for him and to bear our witness of the truth. Our member then was prompted to ask Alan some very specific questions. She later told us that the spirit was literally saying the words into her ear and she was simply repeating them. She asked him what he thought his father was learning, why his father would want him there that night, how could he help his father and so on. Alan was so overcome along with the rest of us that he started crying and said, " my dad wants me here tonight because he doesn't want me to make the same mistakes that he did. He doesn't want to waste my time." That was the moment right there. When he knew for himself that his father was guiding him to this church and that this church would allow him to give his father what he never had. Alan then opened up and told us how he had been depressed and angry all day. He said that when it came time for him to decide if he would come to the lesson he literally felt the holy spirit impelling him to go. He said it took him off the couch and brought him to the members home. As he opened up to the spirit and acknowledged the spirit it became so strong in the room. He talked about how he saw this journey as a long short process. We talked about baptism and then to close all of us, including Alan, knelt on the ground and he offered a beautiful prayer. It was the best way to end my time teaching Alan. The best part too is that the ward just loves him and wants to all help him out. They stop the Elder quorum lesson and just do a Alan Q&A on a regular basis. Everyone talks to us about him and so many people are supporting him. Alan has taught me more about being a member of the church then any person I have ever met. </div>

Bullet points this week. Sorry </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">1) We performed in church this week, meaning sis Price and I, and it was awesome. One man came up to us after and said he looked at Sister Price singing and could see three spirits there behind her and with her. He then looked over at me on the piano and could see two more with me. I don't know why he could see them but I could feel them so I believe what he said. I know God sends us help all the time. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">2) We had ZTM's, two of them and then two exchanges.... lots to do around here. I gave a training in one and a training and discussion in the other. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.7199993133545px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">3) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">We went to dinner at Souplantation with Thu (inv) and Jesse (LA member) and their beautiful family on Monday which was such a great way to start the week! We actually ended up having a great conversation with them last night as well, and they both really opened up to us about alot of their concerns about the ward and various things and we're just really hoping we have helped them as best we can. They are such a wonderful family and I love them so much! We're still tryin to work through a few things, but I very firmly believe that Thu will get baptized shortly. She knows the church is true. She just needs to accept it and act on it. Please keep them both in your prayers!</span></div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.7199993133545px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">4) Carmen and Wilson, our Filipino friends, we've met with twice altogether, taught literally ALL the lessons, set a date, committed them to read, the whole shebang. Please keep them in your prayers, too. We didn't get to see them much this week so we're just praying a lot and we're looking forward to our next meeting with them. They are so wonderful. Our second meeting with them Wilson told us that he felt the spirit in our first meeting and he knew that he was going to get baptized. It was incredible. But we just found out they are really struggling with the idea of tithing. It's tough, but I just so strongly believe that God will provide when you're willing to sacrifice. They just need to come to that understanding for themselves now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">5) Ember is still a go for baptism next Sunday! She's so sweet. She's a completely different little girl at this point. She's so much happier and more comfortable with herself and she's more willing to stand up to her parents and tell them that she herself wants to be baptized. Apparently everyone in her family (even the active members) thought she was getting baptized for the wrong reasons so they asked her and after some good conversations with her narrowed it down to the fact that she wants to get baptized for her, and not for anyone else. Hopefully they all will just continue to love and support her in this and next Sunday will be a wonderful experience for everyone! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">6) Dean is great! They came to church yesterday, even LaShondra, who basically swore she would never step in one of our church buildings! So that was a HUGE miracle! She agreed to sit down with us so we could answer some of her questions and so we did that this morning. Hopefully it was productive. We helped resolve a LOT of her concerns and help her feel more at peace about the church and the doctrine. Just keep praying that her heart will soften and she'll see the goodness in the whole thing. Until she gives the "go-ahead", Jaydean can't get baptized because she won't let him. But she's more than willing to let Dean get baptized, because he's a grown up, he can make his own decisions, or something. Frustrating, because Dean can't get baptized yet!!! But I feel like this is by divine design. There's a reason for everything that happens; the Lord's timing is perfect in every way. And though I don't understand why, I know that this is all happening for a reason and that one day, LaShondra is going to get baptized. It's strange, but there's not a doubt in my mind that she will. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;">7) Alan is as intense as ever. After reading 1 Nephi 4, he was really mad at Nephi. Long story short, he's just gonna keep reading and feel the spirit as he reads and hopefully he'll be able to see the light.</span></div>

Hello all,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">

Life is good. Kinda Crazy. I have two weeks left in this ward. Man, time flew by because I have been here almost 6 months. </div>

I was thinking about our lives and how everything we do that brings us closer to God is a simple act of faith. Prayer is a simple act of faith, pausing to listen and understand something or someone is a simple act of faith, reading the scriptures is a simple act of faith, healing another person is a simple act of faith, saying sorry is a simple act of faith, committing to Christ through baptism is a simple act of faith, coming to church to feel the spirit and support others is a simple act of faith. Really, all God has ever asks us His children to do is preform simple acts of faith. I think that is beautiful and encouraging. What Satan does is take those simple acts and turns them into big scary moments or tiny unimportant details. He is so good at that. I guess we must be willing to push aside those fears or thoughts and do the simple acts in the manner God wanted us too. Appreciate the simplicity and purity that comes from the truth. I love the gospel.</div>

We have a lot on our plate as members of this church and sometimes it might overwhelm us. We forget though that our job in anything, whether it be missionary work or something else, is to humbly show up and allow God to do the rest. We need to not place undue stress or worry on ourselves but we need to be humble and willing to show up and to do His will. </div>

Long story short, he AND Jaydean both had their baptismal interviews this week! Jaydean passed and will most likely be getting baptized on Sunday! And Dean has to wait for a few legal things to go through. Kind of frustrating to us but mostly to him.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #e7e6e2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;"> </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">So he and Jaydean came to this baptism on Saturday! They looked so good in their white shirts and ties! So we started off by giving Jaydean one of those BoM readers but last week he asked us if he could have the other one now. He's so cute! He carries his little blue Book of Mormon everywhere! Oh yeah, the race issue came up too. But luckily we also came up with a solution: he'll send us over to every African American person's house that he knows so he and Jaydean won't be the only ones at church! HAHAHA! Did I mention how much I love them??</span></span></div>

Carmen and Wilson are our mother-son Filipino investigators! We picked them up on Thursday and committed them to baptism on the 18th. The work is hastening, people! We don't have time to mess around!</div>

Our little 11 year old, Ember, is still on track to get baptized on the 22nd so keep her in your prayers! It's so cool, since she stood up to her parents and told them she wanted to get baptized, she's been a lot more open and friendly with us and she's more willing to stick to her guns! She is LOVING coming to church! She's so awesome! We actually went and pulled weeds for their family on Saturday so that was fun! </div>

Alan is still softening, little by little. He relapsed on his drinking, which is disappointing but instead of drinking 20 beers in one day like he used to he only had 6! And the whole time he said he felt really weird and kept thinking, "I shouldn't be doing this. This isn't good for me. Why am I still doing this?" And then he stopped. We're pretty confident he won't be drinking again. :)</div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">

We had a [loving] throw-down with Efrain on his doorstep yesterday about how he needs to read the BOM so he can get the testimony that he wants so that he and his soon-to-be wife can be sealed forever! Yep, it was awesome. He's praying about March 17 as his big day so we're pretty stoked about that. </div>

So pretty much, we need lots of prayers because I only have two weeks left to get 8 people baptized and to finish some of the things I have started to do here. Please pray for them all. </div>

So this morning Sis Price and I joined the Murrieta Zone in their annual 9-mile hike...in the almost-pouring rain. It was SO fun! I got to run down a mountain with pounds of mud on my shoes. I am so sore and so happy. I just really love being over the sisters in Temecula and Murrieta because not only do we get to do training and exchanges in both zones, but we get to go to activities and meetings and all other good things, too! We get to know so many more missionaries! It was so beautiful! I felt like I was flying and I felt so free. </div>

<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
So we had two Zone Training Meetings to go to this week and we did two exchanges. We had a fun 55+ luncheon and spent a long time at the church yesterday. It's amazing how much we have to accomplish and yet our area never seems to suffer. We always are able to get everything done and still have time to meet with all our investigators and everything else. </div>

Dean is hopefully going to get his baptismal interview this week so keep that situation in your prayers! He's doing so awesome with reading, though, and he and Jaydean (his 12 year old son) were both at church yesterday, and they just loved it! We got Jaydean a BOM reader and he's just eating it up. He's read several chapters already and understands it super clearly. We can't wait for their baptism! </div>

Alan is awesome. He is learning a lot and just has come so far. He has a lot to learn but every time I see him he looks like a new person. He looks different every day. He looks softer. In his prayer this week he said, " Satan's got no hold on me. That ain't gonna happen". He is just so firm in his desire to follow God. He teaches us so much. He reads faithfully even through it is really hard for him to read and understand. He came to church with some nice slacks on and soon we will get him to the white shirt and tie status. He might be rough looking but I know he would do anything to protect his "sisters". Seriously, nobody would dream of messing with us if they knew who was coming for them if they did..... haha. I just love seeing people change.<br />

This week had some ups and downs. I found out that I really really really really love the scriptures even more then I did. They save us. They lift us and they move us forward. I am so grateful for them. One day I will have them memorized. I have the living Christ memorized and sharing it with people has brought a very strong spirit into homes. I know that Christ lives and is who I want to follow. Lots of things can lead a person to want to learn of Christ but then we all have to decided to become a follower of Christ. There is a big diffidence. May we always follow Him. I know that Heavenly Father is giving me so many tender mercies in life right now and I am so grateful to get a glimpse at some of them. He loves us. </div>

Dean: is doing SO awesome! We met with him twice this week and he just eats everything up. He takes his Book of Mormon and the pamphlets with him everywhere he goes so that whenever he has a minute he can read. He has no shame and will read them in doctor offices and whatnot. His wife isn't interested (yet) and he has a 12 year old son. We met with him Saturday morning and we asked him if his son would ever have time to sit down with us for a lesson. He said, "when you have time, he'll have time." He and his son both came to church yesterday! And you know what his son said when he tried to get him to leave early? "But I want to stay!" And then Dean said, "how about you meet with the missionaries tomorrow after school?" We got a fist pump from the 12 year old. Yeah, this kid's getting baptized too. </div>

Allan: what to say about Allan.... He's also incredible. Met with him a couple times. Highlights from the lesson.... He says he's probably in this for the long haul, and was talking about ten years from now when he's at church. He asks for reading assignments. He has the most amazing prayers. He's willing to participate in church. He loves asking questions and he's willing to work through things in his mind before he plans on "getting outta here". He met President Kendrick this week as well and that was great. </div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">This week has been absolutely nuts. We got to go to transfer meeting, even though neither of us were getting transferred. (Let's just say, ask and ye shall receive.) The Chaparral ward has been split and we now share the ward with elders. It's been an adjustment. </span>One of the new elders is from the Philippians and this is his first time being in America. He is being trained by the other elder right now. We got to watch him experience his first piece of pizza, his first taco salad and so on. It is awesome. He is very humble and will teach us all so much! The bad part, he LOVES fish.......ya, that is not going to happen. Anyway, they are quite the funny pair and it keeps them us on our toes. We are trying to help the ward love them so at dinner we play a game of who can get the elders talking the most. </div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">We also had the Hermanas move in with us. So that's been an adventure and a half.

Sharon is so funny. She is actually the queen of dumpster diving. Didn't guess that from her picture, right? Every time we go over she seems to have something new she snatched up from the dumpster. One person's trash another person's treasure. She is doing awesome and is currently doing family history to take names to the temple. </div>

Oh man, how do I even start to write about Alan. He is incredible! He just teaches himself all the lessons. We had an appointment set up to meet and he cancelled about three hours before. We called the member and made other plans for the night. About ten minutes before the lesson would have started we get a call from him saying it was back on. We rushed over and ended up hearing his days events. Turns out he had the worst day ever, I mean according to him he went to hell and back. He said he at one point he walked into the bar and sat himself down. He then looked around at the drinks he would normally buy. As he continued sitting there in the bar, he had a voice in his head tell him to get up and get out. He walked out of the bar without drinking and went home and walked his dog. He hasn't had a drink since we asked him to stop two weeks ago. At that point in his day he cancelled our appointment. He told us that he had another voice in his head say, you meet with those sisters today. You really think you don't have time to talk about the Lord? Call them up and go. And guess what? He did and we met. He is very close to the spirit and he gets answers. He is so passionate about everything and he is particularity passionate about the Lord. Lessons are a little off the books due to his unique experiences and colorful past but man alive do I enjoy them. It is a riot. Pray for him because we are witnessing a straight up miracle. In the lesson we were teaching him the Plan but H<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">e just couldn't wrap his head around the pre-earth life. So we kept talking about it and all these things and then our member felt prompted to say, "if we're going back to live with our Heavenly Father, that has to mean that we lived with him before because we can't go back to somewhere we haven't ever been." He exploded and was like "That clicked! That made sense!!" It was so powerful.</span></div>

Peace is having a clear conscious, not having a lack of problems. I know that is true. May we all find peace in believing as it says in the Book of Mormon. </div>

Dean. My man Dean. He is hilarious. We stared teaching him through he young men's president. He is half black and cracks jokes the entire time we teach. He thinks we are trying to recruit him for his color.....our member told him in the lesson that he will get a bigger pay out at Dean's baptism because he is black.....oh dear. It is really just too much. Other then that though, it is an amazing story. The member has been working with him for 7 years. He has sent missionaries over time and time again. He had given him the Book of Mormon and Dean wouldn't touch it. We showed up in the ward and talked with this member. We went and knocked on Dean's door after meeting him a church when the member got him to come one week. We went back to the member and informed him that we had an appointment with Dean. Our member was floored. Long story short, he is reading the scriptures, praying, coming to church, setting up his own appointments, asked his friend (the member) to baptize him and is cracking jokes the whole time. Gotta love the gospel. (and the member is certain it also has to do with sister missionaries:) I think that might hold some weight, not going to say it doesn't) </div>

We have this mom and daughter we visit once a week named Rachel and Hope. Hope is 7. This week she wanted us to play a game with her and set it all up but we didn't meet at the house so she told us about it instead. You have to pick something you will be in this game and so Hope decided to pick for us. She told us, I am going to be a dog because I love dogs! Sister Price is going to be a unicorn because she has magic and loves unicorns! Sister Huber you are going to be a hot dog. Then she just stopped talking. At this point, Rachel and Sister Price are about in tears laughing because they found that so funny. I personally did not. Umm Hope honey, what exactly are you trying to say about me with that? That I like hot dogs? That I look like a hot dog? That I like cheap disgusting food? That unlike Sister Price I do not have magic? How did she even decide that was a remotely good representation of me? As the laughter wore on, jokes about me being cousins with the corn dog Hope was eating were thrown out and all dignity I had at the beginning was gone. We did not play the game and I don't plan on ever being a hot dog ever again. </div>

Here's how it came about. Several weeks ago our nightly appointments had fallen through, and since we had gone through the ward list the night before trying to figure out who we needed to meet still we came across the Phillip's (who are active) and decided to stop by with the extra time we had. We had been talking to them for about 5 minutes when their neighbor came and knocked on the door! We got to chat with him and he was so willing and open to meeting with us but he needed to talk with his wife. So we gave him a Book of Mormon, invited him to church, and he was on his way. You better believe that we kept following up with the Phillip's trying to establish a way for us to interact with them more effectively than just knocking on their door (even though we'd already met the husband). So we really worked hard to set something up with the Phillip's and their neighbor and finally last night they put together an FHE with their neighbor, we taught the Plan (per request of Sis Phillips) and picked up the family as new investigators. So many other things played into this and obstacles were faced, but ultimately the greatest lesson we learned was the importance of persistence and trusting that the Lord made everything work together perfectly for a reason, but if we weren't willing to make the invitations and do the work when the opportunity was placed before us, nothing would have happened. It was incredible! So Todd, Jen, and Elijah are now our newest investigators. And let me tell you, they are SO prepared!</span></div>

We had MLC this week and had training all about teaching, which I'm so grateful for because Temecula in particular is teaching probably twice as many Member Present Lessons, but is baptizing roughly the same number of people as before. Which screamed to us (Sis Price and I) that teaching skills have dropped drastically. So the whole thing was focused on Teaching Simply, Teaching by the Spirit, and Teaching Towards Baptism. So our job as leaders is to take this training and do Zone Training Meetings and present the training to our zone so they can start implementing them in their areas. And our assignment as the STL's is to do a training on teaching simply, which has been the focus of our entire time together. Needless to say we're really excited.</div>

We had an amazing week. Trinity got baptized and it was one of the most touching powerful moments of my mission. She was beaming and so happy. I think though that her dad was beaming the most. He was so PROUD of his little girl and just so happy. Her mom loved it as well and just felt touched by the support and love. It was Sunday evening after church and we PACKED the room. We had standing room only. I love this ward so much. They have become my home. I have never felt so included and like I belong in my entire life. I can't even fathom leaving this place. I would just like to finish my mission here. I am staying for another transfer but we are seeing so much success that they are splitting the ward and adding elders. That should be interesting.... I am mixed emotions but I am trying to be super excited so the ward will get on board. They love the sisters so much that we are worried the elders will get some push back. </div>

Alan....man alive. He is so cool. He came to church and just ate it up. He said that within 3 minutes of walking in the door he would know if he belonged. Well, he stayed three hours so that is good news. His baptism is going to have a full on motorcycle escort. Highlight of my entire life probably. Sitting by somebody and smelling the faint scent of smoke, it was awesome. I was so glad to have him there. And this ward, man everyone should take lessons from them, they are FANTASTIC. They will love anyone into the church. I am learning so much from them about Christ like love. </div>

So we've made lots of visits, obviously. We do that. haha but something out of the ordinary, we went to mutual on Wednesday and had a missionary moment with our youth where each of them wrote their testimonies on the inside of a Book of Mormon and then gave them back to us to hand out. Some of them were SO awesome and then some of them contained some false doctrine, so we've made sure to filter through them and pick the doctrinal sound ones. :)</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
First off, I want to tell you a story. This story is about a beautiful woman named Sharon Dianne Glenn. Late in the evening on January 14, Sharon was out on her regular walk with her sweet little dog Bella. Minding her own business she saw two young girls approach the gate of her apartment complex. They pulled out a key and tried it in the lock several times, but to no avail. She, out of the pure Christ-like kindness of her heart, walked over to the gate and asked them if they would like to come in. They grinned and heaved great sighs of relief and said, "Oh, yes please!" Quickly she turned the handle and let them in. They repeatedly thanked her for her kindness and then they stopped, looked at her curiously for a moment and said they they were the missionaries in the area, who shared messages about Christ. They invited her to allow them to come back to her home not so late in the evening and share an uplifting message with her. She, being a devoted follower and lover of Christ, quickly agreed. They exchanged information, said their goodbyes and parted ways. On Jan 16 they returned and taught her about God and His glorious pattern of sending prophets to lead His children, how He eventually sent His Son, and how even though countless times people rejected the truth, He continued to send it to them, because there were still some who were honest seekers and earnestly desired to follow Christ. In this magnificent story, Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ came to earth in the modern days and appeared to a boy who was an earnest seeker of truth. He was taught by angels and heavenly messengers and he was the means through whom Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ restored Their church to the earth. Much to her surprise, Sharon was told that there's physical evidence of this in the Book of Mormon! How could this be? How could she know for herself that this message is more than a story, but it is in fact the truth as they were claiming it to be?? These girls, who called themselves sisters, then told her that she could pray about it and know for herself straight from God that this message was true!! There it is! The straightforward and simple answer. Pray and find out! They then invited her to be baptized, to which she responded that she would!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
These two sisters continued to visit Sharon, two sometimes three times a week! She shared more messages that helped Sharon feel happy and peaceful. Whenever they came over they helped her know how to strengthen her faith in Christ! She knew what she had to do! On January 31, Sharon got a ride to the church building called a stake center, got dressed in white, and stepped into a font where she made a promise with God that she would continue to love and serve Him with all her might. Then, on February 1, she received a blessing where she was given the gift of the Holy Ghost. She tingled from head to toe and knew that she made the right choice, that the message that they shared with her was true, and that, most importantly, her Heavenly Father was VERY pleased with her decision! Sharon is now beginning her journey to the temple and can't wait to know even more truth for herself! It was a miracle. She was found, taught and baptized in a matter of 16 days. Those two sisters sure do love Sharon with all their hearts. </div>

So Thu and Trinity and the rest of the Martinez family are doing well! We just love their family SO much! I don't remember how much I told you before, but Thu is Viatnamese and her husband Jesse is hispanic so naturally their children are gorgeous! They have 3 beautiful girls, Trinity 9, Jazlene 7, and Evanglene 5 and they are just so precious. They are always matching and they're always in pink! GAH! I just really love them. Ok, enough of that. If you could keep them in your prayers, we'd greatly appreciate it!</div>

Allen is one of the coolest investigators I've ever had. He has his motorcycles and 1800 stitches in his back from them. He also said something really profound in our lesson this last week. He essentially said:</div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
Don't just come to Christ, but be committed to Him.</div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
...Isn't that SO powerful!? Because ultimately that makes the biggest difference. Which way do you face? Are you committed to following Him and ALL that He asks of you? Are you willing to follow Him straight into the unknown because the one thing that you DO know is WHO He is? Anyways, I had to wrap my head around that a few times this week so I wanted to share that with you! Allen's doing well though! He said he'd commit to baptism if he found out our message was true and he'll be at church next week! (it was his birthday AND the superbowl yesterday, otherwise he would've been there. His priorities aren't 100% straight yet, but we'll help him get there! haha) Something really powerful in the lesson, too, was that he said he wants a little girl SO badly, and he and his wife have been trying for a while to have another baby. He told us that he believes he needs to quick smoking (and gradually he'll quit drinking) in order for that to happen. We told him we couldn't agree more and that he needed to tell Heavenly Father that! We haven't had a chance to really follow up with him yet, but we're so excited to see how he's doing!</div>

We went to the temple this week, and it was wonderful. I felt so profoundly at home. I just really love the temple.</div>

Church was AMAZING yesterday! In gospel principles, Bro Reams took the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 and compared it to the Plan of Salvation. It was incredible. Try doing that this week! A little snippet of what I learned was that it doesn't matter if the person was initially given 5 talents or 2. They were rewarded the exact same! We are rewarded for our efforts and commitment. </div>

I am just so happy. I just love being a missionary. </span><br />

I believe in angels. I believe in moments that we can't explain away or logically understand. I believe the God protects His missionaries. It was the end of a very very long day. We had gone on exchanges and we both very tired and had a lot on our plates and on our minds. We were driving home in the dark along a road we travel often. I was the driver. I needed to change lanes and I put on my blinker and glanced at the mirrors. I turned the wheel hard to quickly change lanes. The moment I cracked the wheel a car whizzed past us in the lane I was headed for. A car that I had not seen. I looked down at my hands on the wheel, it was still turned sharply. I looked at the road and the car I was driving. We had not turned even a little bit. We were still traveling in the lane we started in. I know that I turned the wheel but that God didn't turn the car. I know that I should have hit a very fast moving car. I know that God protects His missionaries.</div>

I got a letter from Lucas, my Chinese convert in Del Mar. It was a blessing to hear from him. He is loving the gospel. He tanked me for my time and commitment to the truth. I am grateful for perspective and the ability to see literal change in a person. I hear he also tried to walk on water this last week after studying that story, haha gotta love that. </div>

We met with a general authority as the leadership this week. His name is Elder Nelson of the seventy. It was incredible! He talked for a long time about after our missions. He talked of getting married and families and callings. It was quite the speech really. He said we receive revelation as we are acting and moving forward. Therefore, if we want to receive guidance and help in finding the correct spouse, we better be actively dating and trying to find them. He said that we had to do this AS SOON AS WE GET HOME. We were all kinda taken aback just because its not really on our minds at all but I guess it makes sense. He said he told his son this and it took him over 2 years to actually get married but the entire time he was searching and looking and actively preparing for it. He said the best safeguard against going less active after a mission if to get married to someone who love the gospel more then you do. It gives you the accountability and drive that we feel as missionaries. So there you have it. Take it for what it is worth but remember it came from a General Authority. </div>

What a week this has been. What a month this has been to be fair. Actually no, what a year this has been :) I am officially in old lady status on my mission. </div>

This week Michelle got baptized. It was amazing. I taught her at the very beginning of my mission with Sister Grover. She was finally ready this week after having an amazing story of really being converted while in jail. She has turned her life around 180 degrees. I saw her give up about every type of drug and substance and start to believe. I love her so much and being there was a treat because I spent so much time and energy thinking of her for so long in Encinitas. </div>

Remember Erin anyone? If you go back to the start of my mission I am sure you will find her name everywhere. She is the mom that I found and starting teaching back in Encinitas a year ago. When we taught her she was totally really for baptism and had a testimony she just needed to get married and stop smoking. She has now been married and this Saturday I get to go down to her baptism. It will be an unforgettable day for me. </div>

We found an amazing new investigator who we taught and set a date with for Feb 7th. Her name is Sharon and the gospel is exactly what she needs. She is about 70 years old and actually wanted to go to church in Arizona back when she was a single mom but her teenage daughter threw a fit. We brought an older women from Germany to teach with us. I love this particular member a lot. She is a powerful convert herself. After the lesson as we walked out the member said, "you ladies sure know how to teach. That was so powerful. If I didn't already have a testimony I would have had one after that!" It was such a kind comment that reminded me how powerful the gospel is to all people. </div>

My companion told me, " we are on the same page you're just a lot farther down then I am!" It was super funny. I have so much going on in my head all the time and sometimes I forget that people don't think as fast or about as many things as I do. I am trying to figure out how to change that. I know that God has greatly increased my ability to handle information and situations. My mind is like a full time office with all the different employees. It probably explains why I can't sleep soundly through the might- I can't stop thinking! Don't worry mom, its not a problem, just an observation. </div>

We taught this convert who started Jewish and then became Catholic and then became Mormon. WHEW! Thats a lot of things. She said something profound about her conversion process. She said, "my testimony came very quickly as soon as I opened myself up to the possibility". We just have to open our hearts and then the spirit will do EVERYTHING. I love that so much about this church and my current line of work :) </div>

We had a crazy crazy week. I spent 8 hours in the ER, not for my own self, but for another sister. I was dubbed the most capable of speaking with doctors. Those places are not fun to sit in all day. I also have now become corn free and gluten free. </div>

The important things are this: </div>

1) Joana got baptized!!!! It was awesome. She has changed so much and I am so grateful that I got to see her journey. She was cracking me up because she bowed after she came out of the water and clapped for everyone. I will never get to teach another person quite like her. I know that church is true and I know that the gospel changed lives. Every person needs the gospel. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

2) I will hit my year this week. :( </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

3) I got to teach some amazing people this week in my area. We have a few baptisms coming up in our ward. Mostly with part member families. I love teaching them because it is such a blessing for a family to be joined in the gospel. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

4) I have a gang of 10 year old girls that have become my best friends. I even got talked into going to primary with a few on them this week. That was an adventure. My respect goes out to primary teachers everywhere. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

5) All the stories I want to share and write about are personal to someone so I probably shouldn't. Total cop out but true.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

6) I created the most beautiful organized white board for my area this week. I love that kind of stuff so much. I figure I should just draw straight lines for my profession. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

7) I am happy and grateful and happy and grateful. And tired beyond anything I have ever felt. I think I am getting old. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

8) This list is about the level at which my mind currently can function. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

9) Esther's boyfriend Efrain is doing awesome and is getting ready to get baptized! Soon they will be working towards the temple as an entire FAMILY! </div>

Its been too long. I am trying to kick myself into gear and get these things written. I have a new companion who is a rock star! I love her so much! Her name is Sister Price. She is from Idaho Falls. (no wonder she is so awesome, mom) We are going down to Del Mar today for a baptism in my old ward and then we have a few ourselves. We are very blessed right now. </span><br />

I find myself complementing life a lot lately. I wonder how I would have ever been the person I am meant to be without being here right now. I have had many confirmations about my calling to be a missionary in Carlsbad California. Most of them recently are actually regarding companions. I know I was sent to be with certain people and that for the rest of my life I will be responsible to be there for them. </div>

We are teaching the cutest little family. They are half African American and the 3 little boys have curly hair and are to die for. They are 4,5 and 9. The littlest boy's nickname is Sumo. We went and taught about faith and how it can grow. We had those capsules you put in water and it dissolves and becomes an animal shaped sponge. We went back the next week and Sumo runs in the room and goes, "I lost my faith!". We are starting laughing so hard as we figured out that he meant his sponge from last time. He turns to his mom and goes, "Will the sisters bring me more faith?" Why yes, yes indeed we will :) I really love them and I am excited to teach them. </div>

We started teaching Esther's friend. It is kinda complicated so I will try and explain. It is the father of the youngest daughter and who she was living with but moved out from in order to get baptized. Follow? Anyway they are Mormon style dating now and it is way cute. He will totally get baptized in the next 5 weeks or so. Esther is so strong. She yelled at Efrain, the one we are teaching, because he was eating food in front of her children on fast Sunday. Then she remembered that he knows nothing about fast Sunday......haha it was great. </div>

We had MLC and I gave the training on member work and planning with that mindset. I always love getting to train along side my mission president. I absolutely adore President Kendrick. I got to sit down with him for a quick interview and I just can't say enough about what he has taught me. He asks how our families are, how our companion is, how healthy we are and how our teaching pool is. I answered that all were great. He goes, "Sister Huber, let me get this right. Your family is good, you feel healthy, you enjoy your companion and you are teaching. Not to mention that you live in Southern California. Sister Huber, what more could you possibly want?" NOTHING. I want nothing more then what I have been given. I want nothing more because I have everything this world could offer me that actually will mean anything in the world to come. </div>

GUESS WHAT! IT actually snowed here! It hasn't snowed in 10 years and that was a touch of white. This hasn't happened for 29 years. We were all dying with joy. I made a snowman and a snow angel. I also freeze nearly to death every single day though. IT IS SO COLD. </div>

This week was AMAZING! I had two baptisms, Kiannah and Suzanne. </div>

Suzanne is from the YSA ward in Del Mar. She is a marathoner and probably the happiest person I know. I was lucky enough to be the first one to teach her and invite her to get baptized. After I left they keep teaching her and on Saturday she got baptized! I got to speak on Christ and Christmas and coming unto Him through baptism. It was great. I love her so very much. She is one of the perpoe I miss all the time. <div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

Kiannah is Esther's daughter. She is 12 and a very special person. She was so ready to learn about the church and to get baptized. She is going to be my life long friend. I told her that I will be there when she becomes a missionary. </div>

<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
I HAD A MIRACLE! Nobody in our mission gets to go to the temple and see the lights because it is out of the boundary. Nobody. Not one soul. And then on Monday President came and gave my companion her exit interview and gave us permission to take Esther and her family to the temple. We were floored. I am so grateful he trusts so much. It was the highlight of my mission thus far. It felt so good. It was their first time at the temple and we got to talk about what it meant and how they will go inside. They are literally my family. Esther was crying and we were all so overwhelmed at the goodness of God. That is what Christmas is all about. </div>

Really, I can't even think of what to even put down. Most of the things aren't good things- life just seemed to keep happening to everyone all at the same time. I will just tell you stories instead. </span><br />

Esther. She is amazing. We are over at their house teaching her daughter who is getting baptized this week, and we start talking about the word of wisdom. Esther pops her head out of the kitchen and proceeds to tell us that she was a hard core smoker up until the day of her baptism....... she didn't tell us she smoked! She smoked the day before she got baptized!!! She then proceeded to tell us how she hasn't touched a cigarette or smoked since her baptism. She went totally cold turkey and she said it was easy. She doesn't have a single craving or desire. Is that not incredible? She gave up so many things and God has made her so strong to help her. I love and adore her family. I think they are my saving grace right now in this area. </div>

We were contacting at the lake in our area and it was dark and late. We walk up to these two young men who were fishing. One of them ended up being Mormon so we taught his friend with him. I asked about the fishing and said I really wanted to see them catch a fish. About a minute later a bell went off and a line had a fish on it. They let me reel it in and even get it out of the water! I then had to touch it to get a picture. It was so nasty but I was proud of myself. It was a fun moment. I got to fish in two ways :) </div>

For starters- my birthday. I have wonderful friends who threw me a surprise party. They got food and lots of random gifts for me. It made my day! Then as a district we all went to a casino.....haha It is a famous casino buffet and we got permission to go. A member owns it and got us in for free. It costs 37 dollars a person normally!!!! It was sweet except I was sick, so I ended up getting a blessing and not eating much. </div>

Next, I meet with Elder Ballard and got to receive some amazing counsel and edification. I have been so blessed in my mission. They asked all the leadership, so about 40 of us, to come meet with him. I got to sit on the front pew of the chapel and talk directly to him. AMAZING. He talked about how sometimes we all get discouraged. Sometimes we want to sit down or take a break. He talked about how tired we all feel. He then got really quite and pulled out a worn and used picture of Jesus Christ from his pocket. He looked down at the picture and with tears in his eyes said, "whenever I feel that way I just look at our Savior and suddenly I don't feel so tired or overwhelmed anymore." It was a very strong and powerful moment for all of us. I have taken to carrying a picture of Christ in my planner so I can stop and look at it throughout the day as I need too. I invite you all to take a picture of Christ with you wherever you go as well. He also talked of going to Gethsemane. He said we need to go there every single day so that we can really understand our Savior. I think that this can mean a lot of different things but one interpretation I have is that we need to literally do as Christ did. He bore all He was asked to bear-sins, pains, weaknesses-and then He cried out for help to His Father. He was sent an angel to strengthen Him and He continued to do what was asked. He finished His task. We have to bear whatever it is that we are given and then as we willingly bear it we must cry out to our Father for help. We will be strengthen and helped. I know that we will all be better and more able as we go in our minds to Gethsemane every day. </div>

Esther got baptized this week. It was a very special moment for me. I know that this was the start, in two weeks her children are getting baptized and then in a year or so I will be in the temple with them all. This is my family. I instantly felt connected to her when we meet. I love Esther. She is currently a single mom with four kids. She is so strong and had a powerful witness of the church. She said when she got baptized and the gift of the Holy Ghost she felt is coursing through her whole body. She just sat in the chair for a minute after it was over to take it all in. Her boss at work introduced her to the church. He is an amazing member missionary. He lead her and guided her and helped her. And now he baptized her. How amazing is that? We can all do that! </div>

<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
Now that I am 20, I have been thinking a lot and pondering on what I made of this last year. I have decided that this year was the best of my entire life. I spent over 90% of my 19th year as a missionary. I will probably never be able to say that again. I am so grateful that I took the opportunity to serve and act on my faith. I have loved being a missionary and I have loved the people that God has allowed me to meet. I would serve my entire mission for any one of them. </div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<span style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">We all know that the greatest commandment of all is to Love God. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<br style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">
<div class="" id="p" style="background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.</i></div>
<div class="" id="p" style="background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">“This is the first and great commandment.</i></div>
<div class="" id="p" style="background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
We also know what the second great commandment is: </div>
<div class="" id="p" style="background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“<i style="line-height: 18.4599990844727px;">And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.</i></div>
<div class="" id="p" style="background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #2f393a; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But if we read farther into the second commandment it becomes clear that we are asked to do more then love other people. We are asked to love others as we love ourselves, meaning that the root of the commandment from God to to love yourself so that you can then give love to others. I think this means that we need to embrace and accept and love the gifts and talents and looks and qualities God has given us. I think it means we need to embrace our own healing and conversion so that we can then allow others to have the same. Do we give grace to others but refuse to bestow it upon our own faults and wrongs? We must be careful to first love and change ourselves so that in return we can truly love the people around us. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.2999992370605px;">

I have had an amazing week. I got a new companion and a new area. This is the third time on my mission that I have whitewashed/doubled in to a ward. That means we are both new to the area at the same time so you start from scratch. My companion has 4 weeks left on her mission and she will be home. It makes me think about Leah all the time. I feel lucky to be with her and to imagine being with Leah and how strong she is finishing. We are blowing this area up and going to have her go out with a huge bang! I really love my new companion. I will learn so much from her. We are a Sister Training Leader companionship. We cover two stakes/zones and have 12 sisters we oversee. We have lots of exchanges and training opportunities. It is amazing to see how much work gets done when you are both on the same page and dedicated. We receive so much revelation and light for our sisters and we think about them constantly. I love how we can only put a limited amount of energy into our own area due to a lot of other responsibilities, but God magnifies that effort and makes us so much more. </div>

I am trying to live the way I pray. What an interesting concept that is. I want to have so much faith, that nothing could ever stop me from accomplishing anything that is God's will. I have seen the fire that can burn in our eyes when we know and we do. I get down on my knees and then I get up on my feet and I work. That is the secret to everything- you have to want it so bad you will do anything. It goes for a soccer game or for salvation. We have to allow ourselves to change. </div>

What does it feel like to receive something from above? How do we know what is from God? </div>

<span class="" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 22.7199993133545px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I am so full of gratitude and thanksgiving. I would sing praises and shout it from the rooftops if I was allowed to climb higher then the second rung of a ladder (white handbook rule). I am grateful for my Savior. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for the scriptures. But mostly right now, I am grateful for my mission. It hasn't just changed my life, it has changed me. I would never have made it in this world without my mission. God has given me everything I could ever need. For that I am grateful. I love you all. </span></div>
