HEY FRIENDS AND FAM JAM,

I literally can't even believe how fast is time is flying by! I am so incredibly grateful for Heavenly Father and his sweet tender mercies.

Thank you for all of your e-mails this past week. Many of them have been a great source of strength and an answer to my prayers. They have reminded me of what it really means to have faith, and to trust in Heavenly Father and his promises to us.

This past week has been insane, but also wonderful. Sister Hoffman is a blessing and half and her heart is big enough for the both of us. I am grateful forever for her patience with me in trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do with this last month of my (mission) life.

Here are some really quick highlights from this week (and by quick I mean I only have 5 minutes to summarize how good Heavenly Father truly is.)

1) We taught Kathryn earlier this week (poor thing is really really sick right now, pray for her). But it was such a special opportunity to see her truly standing as a witness of God at all times and in all places. We taught her at her university and a bunch of her friends were sitting near by, but that didn't hold her back one bit from expressing her love for her savior and her desire to keep His commandments and to follow his example by being baptised. That experience has certainly caused me to reflect on the choices I will be making when I return home, and if I will really stay true to the disciple I have become.

2) JOSEPH BORE HIS TESTIMONY THIS SUNDAY. It was so good, and amazing to hear him recognize that path that God has been leading him down all along. It was also so inspired by Heavenly Father, because by a miracle we had 6 random students from the local college show up because they are required in their course to check out a couple of different churches.

Also Taylor finally read her scriptures and is starting to really progress, Sister Clark is the bom diggity, and Shannon and Ron have been praying as a family and individually every day!

I love this gospel and I know that the work that we are involved in is true. I know Heavenly Father is forever mindful of us, and that He always places the people in our lives that we need.

Some days things still feel cloudy, I've been feeling a lot like that recently, but I know that the hope of God's light is real, and I know Heavenly Father is just blessing me with another opportunity to grow.
