Lewiston, ID- Week #38


HEY EVERYONE!!!! I hoped you all loved conference as much as I did!!! This conference was AMAZING!!!! 5 new Temples?!?!? Utah is getting another Temple too!! Now I have 2 Temples I have to hit when I get home just so I can still say that I have hit all the Temples in Utah!! Cedar City will just be finishing up when I get home, so I can probably go to that! Saratoga Springs might not even be started!! Who knows!! Temples are just amazing!! Brazila, Brazil (dont know where that is but I do know its in Brazil) the Manilia, Philippines Area (Dont know what that is supposed to mean) and Pocatello, Idaho (Isnt that where Napoleon is from?? No thats Preston! So now I have no clue what ties I know that town from) But they are all getting Temples and that is so awesome!! I just wished that Lewiston would be getting a Temple and that would be just great!! ðŸ˜‚ Besides conference taking over my whole weekend!! (in a good way) My week was nothing short of amazing!! I went on exchanges with one of the missionaries in my District, Elder Frehner, and we worked in his area and boy oh boy is there area busy!! They just got lessons upon lessons every single day!! That is ideal honestly!! But the story that I wanted to get out of this exchange is we were walking home and it was pretty late I think. As we were walking we saw some guy walking on the road as well! I just had the feeling and I heard a voice say to me talk to this guy!! We were getting to the darkest part of the road!! I couldn't see this guy and I didnt know if he was going to beat us up or whatever!! We got closer and we both just started talking to him!! His name is Tony and he is a major Alcoholic!! He is really addicted!! We had a lesson with him the next day and he couldnt even sit through the whole lesson without getting a drink!! It was pretty bad! It has been a part of his life the entire time!! He started when he was 12 I think! We talked to him and asked if we could come back the next day (this was back to the night before BTW) and he told us when we came the next day that he could feel the love from God and that he couldnt stop thinking about us all night and he was really looking forward to our lesson!! This was an exchange so I dont know what ever happened with Tony yet so I just know that God he prepares people!! Tony just needed to talk to Elder Frehner and I that night and he needed us to talk to him!! The Lord loves all his children and he will put people in our path!! I love to know that and for the knowledge that I have about this Gospel and the opportunity that I have to share it!! I love all of you so much!! You all are the freaking best!! Thanks for reading my whole email if you made it to this point!! I love you and miss you all talk to you all next week!! Dont be dumb or do anything stupid!! PEACE OUT!! 
Love

Hi Mom!

 CONFERENCE WAS SO SO GOOD!!! Yeah thats what Kennah told me last conference while we were both gone!! She said I love conference because I know that this is the one thing I know that we are all doing together!! So that really changed my outlook on conference it was so good this conference was awesome!!! Yeah we had an Investigator at a members house watching it and he has basically been an "eternigator" for about 7 years now or so! His name is Brad and we are like homies right now! We get along really good I love Brad!! But he heard Elder Costas talk!! I felt like that is exactly what he needed to hear!! Im so glad he heard that though!! He is just so super close to baptism!! He is already living the lifestyle and everything!! He just needs to get in the water now!! He has made a whole lot of progress since Ive been here though!! I feel like that is my whole purpose here in Lewiston is to get Brad baptized!! he is so awesome!! We have talked a lot about baptism for the last 6 weeks and we have gotten closer and closer every meeting!! He doesnt want to set a date but he told me once he decides I am the first person he is telling!! Whether Im here or not he said that Im the first to know!! So hopefully its while im still here!! ðŸ˜‚ But yes the greatest Mission of all time got the first Mission Shout out over the pulpit in general conference!! President Palmer was 2 Presidents before President Dymock!! So it went President Palmer then President Mullin then President Dymock!! So a little before my time!! ðŸ˜‚ Thats so cool Kennah got to go down to conference!! I bet she loved that!!

I loved Thomas S. Monson's talk in the afternoon session about the Book of Mormon! How he said that a Testimony of the Book of Mormon is not overstated and it is essential!! Thats so good to hear that you are reading the Book of Mormon and you are loving it and understanding it!! Is it that big red one that was there before I left?? The Book of Mormon does that to you it brings you in and makes you want to read more!! I havent felt that before until I left on my Mission and its seriously the best thing ever!!! For real it really does make life and everything easier!! Its so simple and crazy to think but its true!! 

Thank you so much for everything Mom!! I love and Miss you guys so much I pray for each and every one of you every single night!! keep up bringing me good news I love to hear the Scotts at home doing good things as usual!! I love you so much!! Ill talk to you next week!!! 
Love your son
