(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person could hope for!
This week was great! Some highlights:
-A 9 year old we are teaching named Natalie, who is getting
baptized on Saturday (I am SO excited!!), went teaching with us! She wanted to
join a lesson we had with Isaac, another person we are teaching, who is 16. She
helped us teach the law of Chastity! Pretty epic! She is an incredibly smart
girl! Afterwards, she went and knocked a few doors with us! I think she made us
one of the finest missionary trios there ever was in Southeast Idaho!
-Chelsie who is getting baptized on the 29th, went to
Deseret Book and splurged by buying a TON of church reading material! You know
you are teaching someone who elect when they buy a journal edition of the
Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of great price.
-Got transfer news last night, and I learned that I'll be
zone leader companions with Elder Snow in Iona! We were companions for two
transfers in Ammon, and he is a BEAST!! I'm so excited! I'll be in a trio with
him and Elder Haskett. But before that, I'll stay in this area for a week in a
trio because Elder Clove is being transferred to a Service mission and they
didnt want to whitewash the area.
I've learned a lot in this area. I've learned how truly the
Lord can magnify our efforts when we turn it all to him. Elder Clove is one of
the most dedicated and diligent missionaries I know, and despite having health
issues that would be really debilitating, he has pushed through, giving it his
all. He is a model for Christlike service and diligence to the end.
Love you all!!

lure Chonkers, the squirrel, into coming closer.
