Hey Family and Friends,

Life is sounding pretty good back home huh? The golfing, the holidays, and work sounds like it is moving around. Well if you have any questions about the northern Virginia area, let me know and I am sure I could guide you around! :)

Yesterday at church, we had 1 of our investigators and a less active family come to church and the week before we had 5 investigators at church and 4 less actives there! How great is that? This is a great area to find people who are ready to receive the gospel in there lives. It is an exciting area and there has already been a lot of success since I have been here which is great!

Yeah 5 months already can you believe that? I am not sure if that is super slow or super fast. Either way I have enjoyed my time and the lessons and skills I have learned. One of our investigators is super cool. He is a 21 year old guy who had been going to Liberty, which is a Christian school but he did not feel like it was right for him and is going to transfer schools. He really asks good questions and loves to learn. He is a super solid guy and I am excited to see what happens.

The bikes can get pretty cold I must say. It could be a lot worse but I take it and deal with it. I have learned on the mission that you have to roll with the things you are given and just work harder through those challenges. Then the great blessings start to flow and you can grow even more. I love this work and the people I have met here. This is where I was supposed to serve. I hope you have a good week and thanks for all encouragement. I love your advice and I use it all the time.

Love you,
Elder Westover
