First of all, my apologies for not writing the past two weeks, we have been crazy busy! I'll try my best to let you know how everything has been. 

Brother Littlefield has a unique job in the church. He is over around 60 missions or so that he goes and basically audits. He comes once a year, and he came last week. He goes out with a couple of missionaries, watches them teach and then asks them a bunch of questions. So, at 10:30 at night last week we got a phone call from the AP's saying that Brother Littlefield was coming with us the next day. It was so fun! He bought us a fancy lunch and apparently our mission president was talking us up to him which was very kind. Then we had a mission wide conference over video call and the Area Seventy called in and Brother Littlefield said our names as good examples of teaching towards baptism, and accomplishing our key indicators! I only share this because it actually really humbled me knowing that all that happens in this work Heavenly Father does. No matter how weak or foolish or inexperienced we are Heavenly Father will always take a willing humble heart to do his work. I'm very grateful for this.

In the last 3 weeks we have had two of our friends get baptized! Jessica, and Angela are both sweet, beautiful, women who have so many great things ahead of them. I am so blessed that I got to know them and share with them what has changed my life so immensely. We also got to do some proselyting up on the Mountain. Mount Rushmore that is. It was really cool talking to so many different people from all around the world! 

We did so much driving these last few weeks! In just the last week we were on the road for 16+ hours! We got to see a lot of beautiful land though so that was fun! It is sunflower season up here in the Dakotas, very beautiful time of year, but it lasted for about two weeks. Now summer is gone, and North Dakota’s version of fall is here. 

I just love being in Pierre, and I love being a missionary! I learn new things every day, but the greatest thing I have learned is that God truly is my loving Heavenly Father, and His son came to this earth and took upon himself my pains, sicknesses, sorrows, sins, and death itself so that I could live once again with my Father in Heaven and my family forever. I have felt of the love God has for me, and it is my greatest joy to share that love with others.

Thank you all for reading,

Ofa lahi atu ❤
