Dear Family and Friends!

We had a decent week! One of the best things that happened was that 3

Spanish speaking members came to church! We are still working on

getting our investigators there but it's a process we are working on.

Also at MLC we received some awesome training from Brother Littlefield

and Gonzalez from the Missionary Department in Salt Lake. After an 8

hour training I definitely raised my vision for what is possible in

our mission. Sometimes we limit what is possible for ourselves by not

setting the right goals that are helpful for us.

Lately I've been working on hope and positivity. I had a lot of

opportunities to practice this week too! It was great. I'm learning

that sometimes when you go one or two full days of just flat knocking

and no responses, the Lord still will use you if you do everything you

can. We did, and at the end of the week we found some of the coolest

people! So I'm learning a lot. Living in positivity and hope to me

doesn't necessarily mean that your hopes and expectations will never

be dashed. But it means that the Lord can use us, stretch us, humble

us, and show us what can be possible with his help.

So anyways, today we went to the Grand Canyon National Park! Funny

enough, it's in our area. So I took a lot of pictures, and they all

kind of look the same. But we had a good hike and a lot of fun!

Tomorrow we are going to the Mesa Temple! It will be awesome!

I love you all! Have a fantastic week!
