Week 9: Haley is Home!!!!!!!

  This week was absolutely great. with my sister having arrived home from her mission on thursday and america having won 68 medals in the Olympics so far, it has been an awesome week.  I wish more than anything that i could have been in idaho with my family and friends, welcoming my favorite older sister back home, but i couldnt be. it was so fun to see all the pictures of her homecoming, and i even felt some of the emotion looking at the pictures of my sister and my family in tears of happiness. I even got to listen to her homecoming talk that my mom recorded. Haley talked about Giving our will to the lord and lots of other things, but i loved hearing about her experiences and hardships she had and how she overcame them. it gives me confidence knowing that this strong worthy daughter of God is MY sister. i love my sister and wish her the best of luck with her future of school at BYU provo.
    This week we worked hard and had a good time. Its funny how every house we visit the Olympics are on.
    This sunday was stake conference and it was good even though i couldnt understand a lot of it. i just laughed when everyone else laughed and tryed my hardest to listen. there were so many people at conference that all the missionaries were standing in the back so other people could have chairs. President Bangerter and sister Bangerter also spoke and i understood like 80% of what they said because they have that american accent and they use most of the vocabulary i know.
     While ive been out here ive seen how God has prepared people to receive the gospel. ive seen the change in the people i teach and i see their love for God through their eyes and i know that they are children of God. I know that each and every one of you are children of God and that God wants you to return to him and live with his son, Jesus Christ forever. that is why he has restored his gospel upon this earth. i know that the church of Jesus christ of Latter Day Saints is that true pure church that he restored. If any of you are searching for God in your life or you need extra direction in your life i encourage you to pray to god in the name of jesus christ for help and he will answer your prayers if you have faith. i also know, and i have no doubts, that the book of mormon is a true book. i invite all of you to read it and ask god if it is true. Please read Moroni chapter 10 verses 3-5 and follow the instructions and you can know if this book is true. i love this gospel and i love sharing it with others, making their lives better.
   Thats all i have for this week. i hope everyone had a great week as well. I l love you all

A service projecto that we did. We dug a trench like thing in rock hard ground for water pipes to go in.  We only used a pickaxe thing and a gardening hoe!



And we rode home in the bed of a small pickup truck

A very beautiful sunset on a cloudy day
