Hey Everybody,

We had a really great week! The work has been slow in this new area but you have to start somewhere. The thing that bugs me is when missionaries leave their area worse then they found them.  I just don't see how that is possible! But, we are finding new people and teaching good lessons and our zone leaders were impressed.  It means we are doing something right.  The whole district is doing well slowly and so that is very good.

This Saturday, we had an opportunity to hear from Elder Ballard, Elder Clayton, and Elder Wong which was super cool!  It was our mission and three others so you can imagine almost 800 missionaries in a room.  The messages were great and I feel like I learned a lot more that I can work on.  I also talked to President Riggs when I saw him.  He told me he expected monthly baptisms from me and I am like whattttt?!  That is going to be so hard!  I really need to increase my faith and get to work.. quick.

The hike and fishing trip looked like a lot of fun! I really got into Chance before I left. Everyone says that he has changed and is great. I know how much he has been through and a mission would really change him for good. I get emails from him often and we talk about things with the mission and life.

It is weird to think that I went into the MTC when school started and now they are getting done. I know it has been a whole school year but time really does fly. This time next year we will be talking about coming home and my plans for life! I have no clue yet what I want to do and what I can do! So many decisions.  I got your pictures by the way and they looked good.  Fun trip!

I love you all.   Send pictures and have fun!  Just not to much fun without me ;-)

Love,
Elder Westover
