NOTE: 1 NEW PICTURE! CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO THE RIGHT TO VIEW THE PICTURE ALBUM.

I just gotta get use to writing 2016 instead of 2015? That's going to take a little bit of time to get over.

This last week was wonderful. We're making our goals of at least 10 lessons every week and we're seeing some pretty cool things happen in our area. We've found 9 people in the last 2 weeks that are interested in learning more about the gospel! What a number. One of them, an older lady of the catholic faith, is such a wonderful women. She's so kind and sweet she reminds me of the grandmother so many children often speak of. She's very interested in learning more and isn't afraid to ask questions-what a blessing that is!

That brings me to something that I've just felt is really important lately. Asking questions is very important. One of my favorite sayings is thus: God does not want blind obedience. Rather he prefers us to walk to the edge of the light where he then moves the light ahead of us (Elder Bednar). Please, ask questions. It doesn't matter what it's about or in what venue. Remember, Joseph Smith received the first vision because he asked a question.

Have a great week!
