I didnt know you guys existed in this town!

(Elder Slade)

To the best friends and family a person could hope for,
This week's title came from a time when we were on a crosswalk in Rexburg, and the cars that were stopped starting yelling at us. One guy yelled where we were from (a question I've probably been asked 1000 times) and told us he loved us. Another guy screamed. "I didn't know you guys existed in this town!" I think being a missionary in south east Idaho is the closest I'll ever get to becoming a celebrity. Some people get so excited when they see us, it's weird. I'm not used to getting so much attention.
Time is moving like crazy though. I can't believe it's almost July! The days feel super long, but the weeks feel short. Tomorrow is zone conference again, but this time it's going to be in person! Yay! Unfortunately we'll have to wear masks though. Less yay. Apparently there's a surprise speaker. I'm thinking it's going to be Shia LaBeouf telling us to just do it. Just kidding. I'll let you know next week who it is.
This was my first week leading our district council as a district leader. I gave a training on improvement through the atonement. The reason we are here on earth is to improve and become better.  And the thing about improvement, is that it's hard. It's hard to change bad habits, and start good ones. It's hard to grow the attributes that we and our Heavenly Father would like us to have. But change is definitely worth it (unless you're Batman. Then there's no need to change), and is possible. Pray and ask Heavenly Father for help. Make goals. Set plans. I know you can receive strength to improve as you put in the effort.
Happy July 4th everybody! Don't let your dreams be dreams! Just Do it! Idaho'nt give up!
