Super sorry about how late this email is. I haven't had any downtime in the last couple days until now. To put it simply, I ended up getting transferred to the Lakes stake here in Vegas. So far, I am really enjoying it. My new companion is Elder Palmer. He is from Canada. The cool thing is that we were pretty much already friends because we served around each other in my first area about a year ago.
I'm super stoked for this transfer! We have some awesome missionaries in our zone and it will be fun to see them get better. Half of this zone is made up of new missionaries and their trainers, which is crazy. This is quite literally the youngest zone in the mission.
I'm super sad that I ended up being transferred again. Elder Sutton was such a great companion, and our areas were awesome! There were so many people that Heavenly Father led us to so that we could get them started on the Gospel path that leads to eternal families. I will miss them and I hope that I get the chance to see them get baptized! That will be exciting.
As I said, my new area is awesome. We had a lesson today with a woman who had had missionaries over several years ago. Right as we said the prayer, another woman rang the doorbell and came in and sat down to listen to the lesson. We taught very simply the Restoration of Christ's church, and then proceeded to ask them how they felt. They both said they felt something different as we bore our testimonies. It was neat to explain to them that that was the Holy Ghost testifying to them of truth! They said we could come back on Friday!
I hope you all are doing well and that you are having missionary experiences of your own. I know that God lives and that this is His work! I know that the Atonement of Christ is real and that we can be forgiven through His infinite mercy. I also know that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true.

What more could I possibly need? I want to challenge you to share your testimony with someone, and let them know what the Gospel really means to you. As you do so, people will feel that what you are saying is right.
Have a great week!
Love,
Have a great week!
