Subject: Update April 4,2016: Goodbyes and Hellos!!

Hey family and friends!!!

Oh my! This week has gone by soooo fast. I am LOVING it here in State
College, it so so different than any other area I have been in. We
walk so much and ride the bus at least 2-4 times a day. I love being
in a walk area because we literally can talk to everyone! Even on the
bus :) It's so much fun! It makes it nice to just forget yourself and
go to work and share the gospel with everyone. I'm not saying everyone
is open to talking with us and there have been some pretty fun
experiences talking to people but I know that if we try our best the
Lord is proud of us and we are still striving to fulfill our purpose!!

Saying goodbye to the people in Butler was not my favorite thing. I
will miss them so much but I know that I will be able to see them
again, cough cough mom and dad, trip maybe? Hahaha. I truly did gain
great relationships and lifelong friends and will love the people in
Butler forever!! Butler was a great place to serve and we learned a
lot from that area, had some fun experiences, and saw a lot of
different things we wouldn't expect to see! Never a dull moment in
Butler :) We got to experience court and lots of fun things!! I will
miss serving with Sister Jex, she was a beer companion!!!! I can't
believe she goes home in 5 weeks... We will see each other at college
:)

I have never talked to so many people in one week, and never knocked
on so many doors my entire life!! Yes, we do a lot of tracting ;) It's
fun though! We get to see a lot of diversity, it is really neat to see
how many cultures there are. It amazes me to see the Lords hand it all
things because we are told that the gospel is going to be perched to
all nations. There are people here from all nations!! We get to see
people from all over the world. The Lord knows what we need, where we
need to be, and with who we need to be with! He loves us. Missionary
life is the best and I never want it to end!!! On Friday we did what's
called forums,not is where we stand outside in front of the library
and talk to everyone who passes. It was so fun :):) We got to talk to
so many people! It's just the best!

So general conference this weekend was truly remarkable. I was filled
with the spirit and received many answers I was looking for. I loved
how many people spoke about how this truly is Christ's Chechen here in
the earth today. We are so blessed to have the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, we have the proper authority given by Jesus
Christ Himself. We have the best message anyone will ever hear. We
have the opportunity to live with our families for eternity if we are
obedient to the commandments and the covenants we make.  It's amazing
and I know it's true!!!! If it weren't I would not be out here trying
to tell everyone about it. God loves us, we need to love Him and
defiantly need to love others.

Well I love you all to the moon and back!!! Hope yinz have a great
week :) Keep pressing forward saints, the Lord will guide! D&C 18:18
