Hey Everybody. Things
are going great here in Colorado
Springs. The
snow has almost all melted off the ground so I'm really excited about that. One thing that I'm not so excited about is the
fact that this week is Spring Break for all of the Air Force Cadets. That means that there is a lot less people in
town this week. With our Ward consisting
mainly of college students, it's a pretty detrimental blow to the work for the
week. Anticipating a rough week, we scheduled
as many lessons we could with members in the ward (Active and Less Active) and
we have a full week of lessons planned. We're
hopefully going to quadruple the amount of lessons we normally teach this week.
I'd say that's the best way to spend a
Spring Break!

I've been reading the Doctrine and Covenants this week and a
recurring theme is present in a lot of the early sections of the book. The field is white and ready to harvest, and
He's asking us to thrust in our sickle. Over
and over this is repeated. I know how
important the work of bringing others to Christ is and I'm grateful for the
opportunity to focus wholly on this cause.
This week we had dinner with a high councilman and his
family. It's weird having dinner with
little kids again! They had a friend
over and you'll never guess where she's from? Chico,
CA. She graduated from Pleasant Valley
High School and her dad
was the Bishop in 3rd ward for a long time (Bishop Montgomery). She also said she was roommates with Sister
Bowles in college. Small world! I thought that was pretty cool.
I got to teach several cadets at the Air Force Academy this
week which was great and I got lots of pictures there. The Chapel they have at the Academy was built
in the 60's but I swear it's straight out of a Star Wars movie. It's great to work with so many wonderful
people.

I've got to go. We've
got a lot of things to get done today before our Zone Conference tomorrow. Clean our car, get haircuts, etc. Hopefully we will have some free time in
between to do something cool. Have a great
week everyone. I love you all so much
and can't wait to hear from you again.
5 Things That Made Me Smile:
1. Often, my companion and I will start saying something,
singing something at the exact same time. It's funny how in sync we are!
2. This week was Elder Reimer's birthday. I got to spend the day with him since we were
on exchanges together. It's fun being
with one of my MTC buddies.
3. The singles ward had a Dr. Seuss themed activity this
week, Green Eggs and Ham. Green food is
not that appetizing.
4. I got food poisoning this week from some Chinese Food and
missed District meeting because of it. Elder
Guerrette put the Sister Missionaries in charge of conducting, and I guess it
was the shortest District meeting they'd ever had.
5. We got to do service this week for a woman who has a mild
form of autism and she was so sweet! It felt so good to help her!
