<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hello
Everyone!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So
I have been moved up to Carthage! So far it is awesome up here! They have a
HUGE ward up here! There are like 150 people compared to Rome's 60! I missed
having a big ward.....not a Utah sized ward but still a big one for out here.
All of the work that we do is on the Army Base up here, Fort Drum. It is so
awesome to see the miracles that come from members when they are actively
engaged in missionary work! They seem to give us referrals almost every day it
seems like and they are always so solid! It is weird getting used to a
new area. I don't know anyone's name yet and I feel like I am lost 99% of the
time. Our apartment is pretty nice. We have our own washer and dryer! Plus WE
HAVE A GARAGE to park in!! No more scraping ice off of the inside of the windows!!
yeah you read that right.....when it hits -20 or less at night you get to
scrape the ice off of the inside of your window too. We haven't had any huge
snow storms or anything, I feel like it hasn't snowed in a very long time and
winter is already almost over. I guess it is a good thing cause this way I
don't miss snowmobiling as much haha. I am happy that prayers are being
answered and that my dad and little brother are being watched out for! I wish I
could remember more to write about, I have just been trying to take in so many
things these last couple of days it's hard to even keep the days straight! My
new companion's name is Elder Reynolds. He was actually companions with Elder
Cosman right before Elder Cosman came with me. He is an awesome guy! This is
his last transfer too so I get to kill him and send him back home to Arizona
haha. I hope everyone is doing good! I love and miss you all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hello Everyone! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week is transfers and I am leaving Rome! I am being transferred
up to Carthage. It is crazy how in just 6 short months, you can come to love an
area and the people in it. I loved serving in Rome and I learned so much here.
Now the lord has chosen to move me to a new place and I cannot wait to start
teaching people up there! It sucks that I am leaving Elder Cosman though. We
have become best friends and he is going to be hard to replace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Other than transfers, this week has been a little slow. We
had a Zone Training Meeting on how important the Gift of the Holy Ghost is for
us as well as our investigators. Without the Holy Ghost, trying to do
Missionary work would be pointless. No matter how much I think I know or how
good I think I teach, the Holy Ghost is the only one who can truly bring people
to a lasting conversion. Conversion is a funny thing, it doesn't stop when we
are baptized and confirmed. But we can always become more converted to the
Gospel no matter who we are or how strong we think our conversion is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sorry for the short letter but I don't have a lot of time
today. Lots of things to pack and tonight is the only time that I have to do
it. I love and miss you all!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hello
Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It
has been a pretty good week! We were able to teach a lot of our investigators.
It is so amazing to see how their lives changes as they progress and follow
through with commitments we give them! There were two days this week that
we weren't supposed to go outside because it got below -20 and there is another
cold day on the way! I hate having to stay in so hopefully it only gets done to
-15. I just have to say to a couple of you, I still have not worn a sweater
under my suit jacket! And it's not ever going to happen haha :p <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For some reason I have a target painted on my back for
giving talks in sacrament. This week I got to speak on how we are given
strength through being obedient. It was something that I had never really
thought about before. While preparing for my talk I came across D&C 130 :
20-21<br />
<br />
"There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the
foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated— <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="21"></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And when we obtain any blessing from
God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It strengthens my testimony of the love
the our Heavenly Father has for us. To know that he had blessings set aside,
from the foundation of the world, to give to us when we are obedient to his
laws. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I hope you have all had a good week!
Thank you for your prayers and support! I love you all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this week was a little bit slow. We were only able to teach a few people
because everyone we usually teach was gone visiting family, sick or has been
sick so it has been really hard to meet with people. But the lessons that we
have been able to teach have been awesome! That is probably my favorite part
about being a missionary is teaching, not just normal teaching, but teaching
with the spirit. The lessons are so much better in every way when they are lead
and directed by the spirit! I love it! <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

also got to go to a Utica Commits game.....It's an AHL hockey team. We had an

don't have much time today so this will be pretty short. I hope you all had an

skype! Hopefully I'll get to see a few more of you next time! Christmas here
was so crazy and busy! We tried to make it to every less active and members
house that we possibly could and saw a few of our investigators as well. I'm
pretty sure that just about every house that we stopped at had something for us
to eat or take home to eat later. I hope I never have to eat that much food
again in my life. Being a missionary puts a whole new spin on Christmas. I got
to focus on Christ and all that he has done for each and every one of us! I
pray that you all to feel the spirit of Christmas as we celebrated our saviors
birth this year!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

week has been pretty awesome! We have mostly been sharing the story of Christ's
birth with everyone that will listen to us. It has been an awesome experience
and I have been able to feel the true spirit of Christmas as we have been sharing
it with others. Being on a mission has definitely made me think a lot
differently about Christmas. I am able to focus on the birth of our Savior and
what a gift he is to each and every one of us!</span><br />

all of you that thought it would be super cold up here.....it so far hasn't
been cold what so ever! There has just been lots and lots of rain, and we have
gotten very very wet. The other day was one of the nicer days that we have had
so we thought that we would try walking around in our area instead of using our
car. We came out of one of our investigators homes and it was down pouring! On
our walk back to our apartment my companion was talking about how his companion
last year would drive through puddles and spray people as they were walking.
Not 10 seconds after telling his story, a HUGE dually truck....with a
trailer....drove by and covered us with a good 8 foot wall of muddy salty
water! We were soaked to the bone! I couldn't help but laugh hysterically
because of the timing of his story. </span><br />

Hello Everyone! <br /><br />My companion and I had an awesome week this
week! I am still a little sore from all of the shoveling that we did this week,
but we saw so many blessings from doing it! We had lessons with people that have
never let us in before and we were able to get in a couple extra lessons with
the ones that we have been teaching! </div>
<div>
I thought that I would miss
out on all of the Christmas stuff that we usually do at home but, I was wrong.
The Dupont family is taking us with them today to go out and cut down a
Christmas tree with them today! The ward here is awesome and they are taking
very good care of us for Christmas this year!<br /><br />We had a Zone Conference
this week and it was pretty much how we can be instruments in the hands of the
Lord and how we can be the instruments that he wants us to be, not the ones that
we want to be. They gave us about 20 minutes to find a quiet room and read our
patriarchal blessings and to really look for strengths that we have been given.
It was the 1st time that I have really gotten to pray about and read just my
blessing. There are so many things that I have been missing! It is so humbling
to see what the Lord see's not only in me but in all of us, and what potential
we can truly reach when we WILLINGLY heed to the promptings of the spirit and
become the instrument that he needs us to be! </div>
<div>
I hope that
everything is going good at home! I love and miss you all and hope you all have
an amazing Christmas!</div>
<div>
Love Elder Morgan</div>

get to stay in Rome for at least another 6 weeks! That means that I actually
get to start opening packages that I have gotten haha. New York is teaching me
a lot!.....especially how important it is to be clean, some of you would die if
you saw how much junk people hold on to! It is definitely a humbling experience
and a good way to share the talents that I have been given. We are supposed to
get our 1st big snow storm tomorrow, they are saying that we could get up to 2
feet! I am hoping that it is going to snow so much that our mission pres will
have to let us drive snow mobiles! I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for
that one. We have had a lot of people ask for blessings this week because of
surgeries that they are going to be having. I love giving blessings! I know
that that the words that are said do not come from me but from the power of the

happening in our ward. To start, we have had two funerals in the past two
weeks, both from the same family, a mother and a daughter. It has made me think
a lot about the ones that we have lost in our family. I am so grateful that we
have been given the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation and that we will be able
to live through eternity with our families. I am pretty sure that the Plan of
Salvation has become my favorite lesson to teach. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hey everyone! This week flew by! I can't
believe that there is only one week left in this transfer! I don't know where
all of the time goes! The main event this week was Thanksgiving! 1st to start
the day off we got to go and play in a turkey bowl down at the stake center in
Utica.....I thought that the 8 inches of snow that we got that night would put
a damper on things but it didn't! It was so much fun! Then we had our normal
district meeting after.....oh also forgot to mention that I had to try and
starve myself of breakfast and lunch so I could pack down 2 Thanksgiving
dinners! The first dinner that we went to was with Brother Withey, He is an
older man in our ward and he lives by himself. It was nice to be able to share
some of the day with him so he didn't have to be by himself on Thanksgiving.
After attempting to portion my food, which didn't work out to good, we headed
over to one of our investigators, Chuck. He wanted us to come over an hour or
so before dinner was ready so we could read and talk about the Book Of Mormon
with him. It is so awesome to see how much he has changed in the last 4 months
and how much he has progressed! After we read with him it had been about 2
hours since our last meal ended and I still felt like the button on my pants
was going to shoot across the room. I was shammed into putting heaping amounts
of food on to my plate, and somehow was able to cram down another dinner. Even
though I was not around family, Thanksgiving ended up being pretty dang good.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I also was asked to give a talk in
church on Sunday. I was asked to speak on how my gratitude had changed since
coming on a mission. I had to narrow it down to a few things otherwise I think
I could have taken up the whole hour! I got it down to 4 things; family ( I
even said I was grateful for brothers and sisters), priesthood blessing, the
Gospel, and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Being asked to prepare a talk on
gratitude could not have come at a more perfect time. As I am sure that mom has
told every single person on the planet by now, I had a few rough days last week
with what is going on with dad. Preparing a talk on gratitude, especially
gratitude for the Atonement, really helped bring an over whelming feeling of
comfort and peace. It helped me remember that I have someone that knows exactly
what I am feeling, and knows exactly what I need to get through it. I don't
think that it was a coincidence that I was asked to talk on gratitude this
week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
<div>
Hello Everyone!<br /><br />This week last week has been pretty good, a
little crazy with trying to work between two areas, but still good! So there are
a lot of refugee families living in Rome and Utica that are members of the
church. It has really put into perspective how the gospel is being shared and
accepted all over the world!! And I get to be a part of it! </div>
<div>
We had
such a cool random thing happen to us last week. It snowed like 6 inches just a
few days ago so we went and shoveled some of the older members driveways. One of
the members came out and would not let us leave with out taking 10 dollars from
her to go and get hot chocolate. Later that night we decided to go to Wendy's of
all places to go and get hot chocolate. Before we even sit down this guy
recognizes that we are LDS missionaries and starts asking us where we are from,
I was expecting him to start ripping into us about something. He actually said
that we had some quote "stones" for coming out on missions. He remember a few
years back that a couple of missionaries had help his mom out at a red cross
during Christmas time and how he really appreciated what they did. The
conversation changed to what we did before we came out and if we played any
sports. Turns out, the guy is a huge hockey fan, and my comp, who happens to be
from Canada, also loves hockey. My comp pulls his chair over to this man and his
families table and starts talking about hockey. After about 10 minutes out of no
where he starts talking about religion and wants to know what we believe that is
different from the Catholics. We pretty much taught him the 1st lesson in the
middle of a Wendy's! We are going over to his house later this week to help him
put up Christmas lights and teach him more! I am convinced that this little
chain of events happening was inspired from the get go! It just goes to show
that the Lord knows what he is doing when he puts certain people in certain
areas! <br /></div>
</div>
Thanks for all of your prayers and support! I love and miss
you all!<br /></div>

short, I might get to talk to a certain someone that I have not talked to in
what feels like a very very long time. Anyway.....this has been a very busy and
very crazy week. One of the Elders in our district broke his leg on Saturday
helping someone move and he was sent home which sucks because he was an awesome
missionary and has only been out for 4 transfers! I felt so bad for him! His
companion, starting later today, is getting put with me and my comp. I will now
be in a trio and will get to work in Rome and in Utica! It has been super crazy
trying to work out how we can work in Rome and Utica and still see everyone
that we are teaching in both places! It is going to be crazy getting used to,
but I am so excited for all of the people that we will get to teach! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

faith this time. So starting from the beginning I have been marking everything
that mentions faith. Holy crap! I never realized how much faith has to do with
literally EVERYTHING we do. It has been such a huge help to me, especially with
everything that has been going on at home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We were able to start teaching a new
investigator last week. He is a US History teacher at the high school so he has
to teach about the westward expansion and they touch on "Mormonism".
He said at first he only wanted to learn more so he could teach his students
more about it. He told us that as he did research on Joseph Smith, he came
across Mormon.org and loved what he saw. He said that the more he found out
about us he couldn't help but want to know more on a spiritual level as well.
We also got permission to watch the Saratav Approach on Halloween. There was a
part in it that was talking about prayer, and that light will always overcome
darkness. That made me think about our new investigator, how he at first only
wanted to know more from an educational stand point, but as he started looking
for more, light over came darkness. He now wants to be baptized and become a
member of our church! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

I'm sure you have all been updated on what is going on with Dad, I know that

and I could also use a little extra help while we are out here. It is hard for
us to hear what will be happening and not being to help at home. I know that
miracles come after the trials of our faith, this is definitely one of those
trials. I love and miss you all!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

such a cool house! She said it was built in like the 1840's too. I am so glad
that she called us to help her move. We were able to get all of the heavy stuff
out for her and she was so greatfull because her and her new husband never
would have been able to do it by themselves! She couldn't believe that we
wouldn't take money from her so she wrote us a super nice letter instead haha.
We told her that there </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

would be missionaries in Tennessee where she is moving.
Hopefully our service will help her want to meet with the missionaries in
Tennessee. We also got a few referrals this week. They had the Book of Mormon
play up in Syracuse this last week and the missionaries in that area handed out
over 80 BOM's the 1st night! they actually ran out and had to tell people that
they could request one on Mormon.org. We have already gotten two referrals from
that! Also a few months ago we had a family history fair here in Rome. We had a
room set up with a bunch of stuff about what we believed just in case people
were curious. Turns out only one man walked through it. Just yesterday he
contacted us and said that he wanted to learn more!! I know that the lord has
blessed us and is trusting us with these new people to teach and I cannot wait
to meet them later this week!! <o:p></o:p><br />

transfer and it has gone by in a flash! I am staying in Rome but Elder
Prestwich is going down to Delhi and gets to drive the new jeep. I am kind of
jealous of the jeep cause I'm not a huge fan of our Corolla haha. My new comp
will be Elder Cosman, and he's Canadian....So it will be an interesting few
months. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

go to the priesthood leadership and adult sessions because there were a lot of

start being missionaries! Whether it be online with social media, people at
work or other members of their family, they have been challenged to share the
Restored Gospel with them! I am so excited to see how many members will try and
do this! I hope a lot of referrals come from it because it would make our jobs

him he said that he would like to come to church some time and that he would
get the less active member to take him! It was awesome! On our way out we told
the less active member about stake conference and away we went. On Sunday about
20 minutes into the session in walks this less active member who has not come
to church in years! He must have felt something during that last lesson, he
drove 30 minutes to the stake center! I have a very good feeling that he will
continue to come to church now and be able to take the sacrament! </span><br />

You might have to watch it twice, once just to be able to see what this young
man went through and how he was able to find the church. The second time pay
attention to what the members did to help this young man on his journey.
Through their example, friendship and acting on promptings from the Holy Ghost,
they helped save this mans life. You never know when someone will be watching
or listening. Never ignore a prompting from the Holy Ghost, that prompting may
be an answer to someone's prayer. I know that through our examples and efforts
we can ALL help bring others to Christ. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we can us the Book of Mormon to help those that we teach receive personal
revelation. It was such a good training. We did some roll plays, which are
usually super awkward, but even though you are just pretending to teach
someone's investigator the spirit is still there and helps you SO MUCH! I just
have to say that inspired questions are the coolest things in the world!
Especially when there is a room full of missionaries and they all have the
feeling to ask the exact same thing! The spirit knows exactly what the
investigator needs to hear and we as missionaries need to be able to feel and
act on the promptings from the holy ghost if we are going to help convert
people!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

personal study I came across a scripture that pretty much says what I am
feeling perfectly. It is Alma 29:9 "I know that which the Lord hath
commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in
that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps
I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance;
and this is my joy." I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to
be an instrument in God's hands!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

felt that we should ask them how they 1st gained their testimony of the Book Of
Mormon. Talk about an inspired question! They both bore their testimonies to us
about the Book Of Mormon and of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The spirit was there
and it was SO strong! Through a few more inspired questions ( I say inspired
because I know that there is no way I would have come up with them on my own) I
truly think that because of the feeling that they felt, they will read together
every day! I am so excited to see them again this week and see how much they
progressed! If I am this excited for them, I cannot even imagine how our Heaven
Father feels! I'm sure that he feels that way every time any of his children
succeed! </span></div>

so far. We had a lot of appointments fall through and the areas that we have
been tracting in are all super Catholic....not gonna lie, it has gets super
annoying when people say "oh were already catholic so we're good".
But I know that everyone still has their agency and can choose for themselves.
There has been some good things also. On Monday I somehow got talked into going
running in the morning....WE WENT 3 MILES!!! I haven't run more than a
mile since High School! So I was SUPER sore for the first half of the week.
Then we were playing basketball with the zone leaders and I dropped an elbow
right in Elder Halls eyebrow and split it right open! We decided that we didn't
have time to go get him stitches, so we went to the store and just bought some
super glue:) We met with a lot of less active members this week and have really
been trying to get everyone into reading the Book Of Mormon. I think it has
been working because a lot of them actually came to church this week! It
couldn't have been more perfect since it was</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">

kid Carter that I told you about in my last email got up at the very beginning
and shared his testimony of the Book Of Mormon. It was such a simple and brief
testimony but there was so much power behind it! There is not a doubt in my
mind that through Carters testimony, the spirit was able to touch the heart of
every person there, Member, non-member or less active. It was freaking awesome!
Then we had Zone Conference this week, it was on faith unto baptism. I am
realizing more and more what a huge part faith plays in everything that we
do! We also talked about Elder Bednars message about sweeping the earth with a
flood. I am extending the challenge to each of you to watch "I pray
when" here is the link: </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://www.mormonchannel.org/more-videos?v=3738361705001" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.mormonchannel.org/more-videos?v=3738361705001</span></a>,
and take a picture of yourself or your family and when you pray, then post it on
facebook or instagram. Of course don't forget the #didyouthinktopray. The lord
is truly hastening his work and even though you are not called as missionaries
you can help spread the gospel through social media! <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

lots of service!! We had transfers this week and I am still in Rome with Elder
Prestwich. One of Zone leaders Elder Bybee got transferred so we said bye to
him on Tuesday and went and got ice cream at Nicki Doodles. The we helped
the Polands stack a ton of wood!! Everyone out here pretty much refuses to use
a normal heater out here because it is so expensive! I'm sure that I will get
to stack at least a whole forests worth of wood by this winter. But the
Polands are awesome! They fed us dinner after we helped them. While we were
eating their oldest son, Carter he's 7, asked if he could share his testimony
with us. He said that they just finished the Book Of Mormon and he did what
Moroni told him to do. He said that after he prayed he felt the same way the
people did after eating the fruit from the tree of life, he just felt all warm
and happy inside. It is so cool to see how the spirit can testify to us at even
such a young age! Then on Friday we got to go and help another lady in our ward
paint her play room. Holy Crap did that take forever!!!!! After we got done
painting we did a lot of tracting. We found one older guy, his name is Keneth.

He could talk your ear off. But he told us how ever since he was little his mom
always taught them to pay no matter where they were. He is letting us come back
today to teach him about the restoration and I am super excited about that!!
Then on Saturday guess what we got to do.....yep, more service! We helped
a less active member get his pool ready for winter. It was pretty fun and I now
no longer ever ever want to have a pool haha. After service we had planned to
drive all of the way out to Camden, it's only 20 miles away but when you have
limited miles, 20 miles is a long way! We didn't really have any set
appointments so when we said a pray before we left our apartment, we prayed
that people would be home and that we would meet new people in the area that we
would be working. We didn't get to teach very many people but everyone was
home!! We were able to set up return appointments on Tuesday when we go back up
there with like 10 people!!! My testimony of Prayer in being strengthened
everyday! It was funny ready Matt's email last week and he said that their Zone
Conference was on having faith the baptize, turns out ours is on the exact same
thing!! I never realized how much more meaningful things are when we have faith
that our Heavenly Father will help us! Even just in simple things like praying
that people would be home! I know that the reason we were able to see so many
people yesterday is because we had FAITH that our pray would be answered!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It has been a pretty good week! I made it through my 1st
transfer! It went by so fast and I have a feeling this second one will be even
faster with General Conference and Stake Conference! It is already starting to
get cold here! it was like 30 degrees this morning when we went to the gym with
our ZL's. It does make it nice though, especially since we have done a ton of
tracting this week! We also had a baptism this week! We invited a few of our
investigators but unfortunately none of them showed up....super frustrating </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">but
oh well. We have had to work really hard at finding people lately. oh and we
had a JW come out and start yelling at us this week and it was super funny! One
of our Zone leaders, Elder Bybee, is getting transferred to a different zone
which kinda sucks cause he is a super awesome missionary and we have gotten to
be pretty good friends. We see them a lot because their apartment is like 3
minutes away from our. I hope everyone is doing well! I love and miss you all
so much! AND GOOD LUCK SHEALEIGH!!!!!! :):) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hey everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week has been ok. We
have had a hard time with investigators and less active members keeping their
appointments which has been pretty frustrating but I know that it will pick up
soon. Yesterday was awesome! With fasting and praying that people we were
meeting with would have time, we saw 4 or 5 people that usually blow us off!
and we set up return appointments with them for this week! So I am super
excited for this week and I know that good things are going to continue to
happen! I guess you could say that I am finally getting the hang of things
cause I am now starting to have dreams about teaching people haha. We have
return and report on Friday so I get to see everyone that I was in the MTC with
and I am excited to see how everyone is doing. We are going to the zoo today
with our district....not sure how the Utica zoo will be....but it will be fun
spending the day with everyone. It's cool to see how fasting and prayer is
helping out with dad. I know that when we pray with our hearts and have faith
that they will be answered the Lord doesn't disappoint. I love and miss you
all.</span><br />

having a good labor day! This week has been a pretty good week...well sort of.
At the beginning of the week we had our hopes set pretty high with how many
lessons we wanted to teach. We were able to meet with a few of our
investigators but a lot of them canceled last minute on us or they just weren't
there when we set up for an appointment, which kinda really sucks.</span><br />

I went on my
first exchange down to Herkimer and met the missions famous Grandma! She has
been feeding the missionaries for the last 30 years or so. I asked her if she
remembered an Elder Brady and she said that she did! So I don't know if her
memory is going or if she really met Justin, so you will have to ask him for me
and find out if he remembers eating at grandmas. Since it was the end of the
month we also ran out of miles for the car and I'm pretty sure that we walked
like 40 miles the last 3 days so I am pretty beat. HOPEFULLY our week goes a
lot better and I actually have some cool experiences to tell you about next week!

So I cannot believe that a month has already
come and gone! Time out here seriously flies by! I have already been lucky
enough to give a talk and teach priesthood in the ward that I go
to.....hopefully that doesn't happen again anytime soon haha. But the members
out here are great! They are so helpful and willing to do anything for us, and
they keep us fed pretty much every night of the week. We had an exchange and
one of the "traveling missionaries" Elder Klima came out and helped
us get a better idea of how to teach using the new teaching method. We have
been so busy this week now that we are doing shorter more frequent lessons. I
feel like they are so much more powerful and helpful too. We have also been
praying for miracles and having a lot of faith to expect them to happen. We
picked up 4 new investigators this week and I know it is because of those faith
and prayers that heavenly father has put those people in our path. One of our
investigators, Bill, is a farmer and we are going to help him load and unload
hay sometime this week so that should be fun. Another person that we picked up is
chuck. He is an older guy and kind of reminds me of Jeremy......just a few
minor differences. The first time we taught him he was so completely closed off
to the idea of becoming converted. Now, after meeting with him a few more times
and teaching more about the Book of Mormon and where it came from, you can tell
that his heart is starting to change because he has been able to feel the
spirit. I am so excited to meet with him more as he continues to read the Book
of Mormon. everything is going really good. It has rained here almost every day
since I've been here, thank goodness. I literally to 0 pictures this
week....oops. but I love and miss you all.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

doors just trying to find new people to teach. It is hard when everyone around

dad is doing good. To bad I can't ask to take the boat out while he is on
drugs.....maybe he would say yes haha. I was getting pretty worried about him,
just not knowing what was going on. It's amazing the feelings of comfort we can
get from the holy ghost though prayer and fasting. I never would have</span></span><br />

anything but it sounds like it worked for him too. I had to give a talk in

perfect thing to speak on with all of the things that had been going on with
Tyce and Dad. My testimony on the power of prayer has already grown 1000%. I'll

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello everyone! I have officially
made it to New York! It is so flat here.....not even little hills, but it is so
pretty and super green. The leaves are already starting to change colors and
everyone says that this winter will be worse than the last one (which I guess
was the worst one in a long time). But my new comp is Elder Prestwich, he's
been out here for a little over a year and he has been a great trainer so far!
I feel like I am catching on to everything very fast. I am in the Rome area and
we are reopening the area! It has been closed down for about 8 months because
of the lack of elders. So we are pretty much starting from scratch. We have
done mostly tracking, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">

everyone here has been pretty nice so far
but......everyone is super freaking catholic. We have got to meet with some of
the members for dinners and the zone leaders who are in Rome south area have
let us tag along to a few lessons. The weather has been pretty good her. There
are always the random heavy rain clouds, but it has been high 70's and pretty
much perfect since I have been here. Our apartment is pretty nice. Besides the
fact that we do not have any AC and we are on the top floor. We are picking up
an AC unit at the office today, so that will make it sooooooo nice. We get to
teach a girl tonight Emily, she has committed to be baptized on the 30th so we
just have to get through all of the lessons with her before then. It has taken
a little bit of work to get the ball rolling in the area but I have a good
feeling that awesome things are going to start happening. I would be sending pics
today but I kind of forgot my cord at the apartment so I will send some next
week. I love and miss you all so much. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am currently sitting in the
laundry room waiting for my clothes to wash haha. But my week has been great! We
went through and learned how to teach all of the lessons in chapter 3 of pmg. I
also got to teach an investigator named Thomas. We only got to meet with him
for 3 days. The first day kinda sucked. He wouldn't talk about anything even
religion related so we talked about skateboarding for 35 minutes. Luckily my
comp skate boarded in high school so that helped a lot. The 2nd and 3rd time
went much better. The 3rd time was the coolest thing that I have ever
experienced!!! We were teaching him about the plan of salvation and the spirit
was so strong! You could see it working in Thomas too! The craziest thing about
it was while we were teaching it was like it wasn't me talking. I was pulling
stuff out of nowhere and it was all stuff I would have never said by myself!!
It was SOOOO awesome!! I hope every investigator goes like that haha I know it won't.....but
I can still wish. I won't miss the MTC just my district. We have all become
such good friends. I will be sending pics when I get to New York cause these
computers suck. We have to wake up at 2:30am tomorrow and don't get to New York
till 6 then we have an hour drive to the mission home. To say the least. tomorrow
will be a very long day. But I am so ready to get out there. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
