Earthquake

Yeah this week we had another earthquake. It was super small BUT when you are on the 15th floor of a building, it shakes for a lot longer. We were in our room talking and then boom, earthquake. We didn't really know what to do at first. most of the time I feel like, I don't want to move so 'If he dies, he dies". But we figured we should do something, so we opened the door to see when it stopped shaking. It went on for a solid 2 or so minutes. Even though it was relatively small, it is still scary. For all of you that are in Utah and have never experience anything more than a snow storm and icy roads, earthquakes are pretty scary. You just need to experience it to understand.

Wasn't conference just the best thing ever?? If watching conference didn't get you pumped to go do the Lord's work, then you gotta fix something. After watching conference it just strengthened my testimony so much and it made me want to just shout it from the rooftops that Jesus is the Christ, He is our Savior and Redeemer. My favorite talks were from Elder Oaks (for obvious reasons) and Elder Yamashita! Not just because he was Asian. It was just a great talk and I loved it! ah, I just loved every single talk! It's so amazing that when you bring questions that you need answers to, the speakers will answer your questions. Sometimes it's not the way you thought you would get an answer, but you know when you receive an answer. I also really liked Elder Ballard's talk. Just remember: "To whom shall we go?" I talked about this with my dad last week and it is just soo true. Have you actually ever thought about where you would be in life if you didn't have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ? My answer is, I have no idea. And I don't even want to know. As I read this talk, it was hard for me not to think about one of my dear friends that decided to leave the church. This talk gave me such a strong desire to reach out to him and try to help him come back. As I pondered this desire, I knew this is exactly what I need every single day. We all need this desire. Last night while contacting, not many people accepted us. As a matter of fact no one did. But You still feel satisfied when you know that you desired for the welfare of their soul and bore a powerful and sincere testimony of Jesus Christ.

We met with Victor this week and taught him the word of wisdom. Even though he smokes he told us that he is willing to entirely drop it. He has such a strong desire to be baptized. It's awesome

We met with another investigator named Roxy. Our first lesson with her went terrible because of certain complications that would take too long. We though she wouldn't want to meet again, but when we sat down with her we asked what she remembered. The first thing she said was the Book of Mormon and that she wants to read it.  Yes, there is power in the book. Don't forget it.

Well I am out of time, but I love you all and remember

Be ambitious for Christ!
