I really can't believe that another week has gone by and I am already into my 4th week in Clovis, I am 1/4 through my training, and one month out on my mission. Stink that is crazy!

 Thank you so much for the thoughtful emails this week, and also for the PARCEL and Letters I have gotten : ) I am so blessed! The first two weeks was pretty dry, but it looks like everything is catching up and I'm getting mail! Its funny how excited you get when there's something in the mailbox : ) Mom I love the family History tidbits, they really pick me up and I feel a growing desire starting to come to learn more about family history. When I come home I think that is something I will really want to get into more! The parcel was seriously loaded! haha my companion and I had a good laugh and I was so tickled! There was brownie mixes and cake mixes and cans of chicken and roast beef. How blessed am I!! I shared the candy with my companion (she says thanks!) but unfortunately we can't eat any of it....we decided to try a spirit experiment where we sacrifice something that we love in order to show God how much we are willing to do for His work...in our case we decided to give up Candy for a month! Little did we know how tempting it would be when Easter Candy rolled around! GAH but oh well, we will be blessed!!

I have seen a lot of neat things this week. We are working with a whole family who want to learn more about the Gospel! They are Golden and so humble! They soak up everything we teach and want to be baptized. Its so humbling to see people have these desires to help there families grow and to learn more about their Savior. I am in awe of how blessed I am to be in such a great area of the world!! Especially as I read about the freak snow storms!! Sorry!! 

I also met a great guy here in Clovis, his name is Mario and yes he has a fantastic mustache. haha, he actually really reminds me of Grandpa Denna,  Well we told him about my bike already having two flat tires, and he said to bring them back so he could fix them!! So we did! He really saved me a lot of time and money which I was so grateful for. I think if we all were willing to give service like He does, then this world would be in a much better state. He also said he's going to fry Sister Oswald and I up some Cat Fish this week!!! haha so I'm seriously looking forward to that! : D

Life out here as a missionary is indescribable. I am so tired everyday, especially after walking and contacting for 3 hours in warm sunshine and high winds! But at the end of the day you know you did good, and you know that Heavely Father is pleased. Nothing beats that! I learn so much everyday, especially from the members. People here in Clovis have hearts of Gold and the members are so willing to help with the missionary work. : ) 

I love having a balanced schedual and taking time to plan the day ahead. But the best time of day is personal study. Holy cow I have been learning so much. Its incredible that if you ask, you really can receive all the answers you desire. James 1:5 Is becoming one of my favorite scriptures.

I have had many incredible experiences, I wish I could share them all. But just know that through faith, and an honest sincere desire, anything can happen. I love you all and am so grateful for the prayers, letters and things people do for me. I am so blessed! Have a great week!
