Well, I'll start off with a story. On Friday I was on an exchange with
our zone leader Elder Owens, It was a day like any other, we woke up did
our zone leader Elder Owens, It was a day like any other, we woke up did
some kind of exercises, and had our study for the day.
At 10 o'clock we went to go to the church to do some Facebook.
As we walked outside we encountered a lady on a horse,
which isn't uncommon out here in Lehi. She asked us if we could
distract the stray dog that was following her so that it didn't go and
kill her neighbors chickens, we of course offered our help. But things
went bad quick. As we tried to keep the dog distracted as she trotted
down the road we were quickly outsmarted. This dog, which we found out
was from the Indian reservation, took advantage of a passing car and
sprinted to the other side of the road and after the horse. We
defeatedly watched as the dog made his way towards the horse but the
horse was on the same side of the road as us. In his attempts to reach
the horse in crossing the street the dog got hit by a truck.... And
then kept running!! But that's not all, mere seconds later a ferocious
German Shepherd comes out of nowhere and attacked. The dog was still
recovering from getting hit by a truck while simultaneously being
attacked by a German Shepherd but amazingly it escaped and dived into
the bushes. And that is the last that we saw of it. Mind you this all
happened in about 45 seconds, me and Elder Owens are still pretty
blown away by it but I think will get over it.
Other than that this week was pretty uneventful. It's still nearly which isn't uncommon out here in Lehi. She asked us if we could

impossible to find people but we are striving! J--- has officially
disappeared... But we're still keeping hope that he'll show up again.
We should be meeting with C----- on Wednesday and hopefully get her to
church on Sunday. When I was on exchanges with Elder Owens we tried
this thing where we just rolled up to people on the bikes and said,
"Hey, do you want to go to a barbecue??" Their reactions were
priceless and they'd just laugh. And it worked! If you offer somebody
free food they'll listen. So we have some potentials that I'm going to
be calling this week for all the info on the barbecue. We're praying
for miracles with that!!
On Saturday the Lehi 1st Ward had a Round Up that we helped with. It
was basically a rodeo without animals haha. Just a bunch of country
folk with a rodeo arena haha. I loved it, the people here are so
awesome, they're willing to help us all the time they just have some
pretty stubborn neighbors! But we know there are angels preparing the
hearts everyday!
They also asked us to talk in Sacrament meeting Saturday night so we
talked about the Word of Wisdom. I talked about how theWe should be meeting with C----- on Wednesday and hopefully get her to

Commandments are here to help us fly. I used the analogy of the kite
flying in the air. If you didn't know how a kite worked you would
think that the boy was holding the kite back but you come to find out
that without that rope grounding it the kite would fall. I know thatflying in the air. If you didn't know how a kite worked you would
think that the boy was holding the kite back but you come to find out
the Word of Wisdom protects us, the Spirit will give us ultimate peace
and happiness. I love in John 14:27 how The Lord tells us that His
peace is so much greater than the peace the things of the world bring
and I know that is what helps us fly!and happiness. I love in John 14:27 how The Lord tells us that His
peace is so much greater than the peace the things of the world bring
I know what you mean, the mission happy is a total different happy.
At times I look back at certain situations and try to figure out why I was so happy haha.
But it really is incredible.

haha, totally covered. We've been invited to Thanksgiving breakfast,
Thanksgiving lunch, and Thanksgiving dinner. I love you all!
