Hello!

This week was a blur but, hopefully I can give you something of an update. We had some really good opportunities with teaching families this week. We taught this guy named Fred and his wife. They are from Switzerland and they came here to the states because the missionaries told them that the Christmas lights are beautiful at the temple. So, they came over and never went back. Which if you hear that story it sounds like they are very solid investigators. Well they let us come over but, they don't want to change. Which is a bummer but, we are still teaching them so who knows. We also met this lady named Jennifer and she is way cool. She works two jobs so it is hard to catch her but, she has been reading the book of Mormon and she has shared with us these experiences she is having with God. So, that is way cool but, it is hard to meet with her. Other than them we have been talking to a lot of cool people. We managed to catch a lot of the members of the ward home and were able to work with them.

I am the district leader in this area so, every week when we have a District meeting I usually get the opportunity to give a training to my fellow missionaries. So, that went really nicely. I don't how to explain it but, the spirit was strong and the gifts of the spirit are real! The Holy Ghost can definitely empower you to fulfill your calling. And it has been wonderful to have the opportunity to serve these missionaries.

Now, I will explain the title of this email. So, you know that guy, Dallin H. Oaks? Yeah, he is coming to our mission this Saturday and meet with all of us. So, that is pretty cool, that will be a great opportunity. While he is down here he is also hosting a religious freedom conference for the Phoenix area. Lots of cool stuff! I am excited! Hope you are all doing well! Love you all!
