This week’s quote from President
Weston,
"It is good to act as if. It is
better to grow to the point where it is no longer an act."

This week has been super; it has been
full of miracles. We are opening a new area, which is very exciting. Lake view is a very
hilly place and the up hill parts of biking are very hard but the down hill
parts are nice. This whole week up until Friday and Saturday was just us
driving or walking or biking around trying to find someone to teach.
Opening a new area is harder than I thought it would be because no one wants to
talk with us. We have been going door to door contacting all the members
we have records for. We
tried everyone that we have record of and our ward has about 250 to 300 people
in it.
Yesterday, we were trying to contact a
less active guy. We knocked two times
and nothing happened. So we were going to walk away and I thought, third
times the charm and I knocked again. Then
the neighbor opened up his door. And
guess what, he is a member that we didn't know about. We talked and
now we are going to teach him! This is only one among many other miracles
that happened to us this week. This work
is great! This area is super special and
ready to get taught! My comp Elder
Hammond is super nice guy and really funny. We get a long great!
My new, Elder Hammond, he
is from Mont Pilliar Idaho. Also in my apartment is Elder Sorenson he
came out with me. Then there is Elder
Neilson, he is a greeny and they are all great!
My new apartment is it is in a giant
apartment building. It has all new
things in it. It is very nice. For my Halloween costume we are going to be
the Men in Black. I have the glasses and
the black tie, I just need the flash thing and I am done. Can you have Preston build me a deneurolizer (the
men in black think that they use to erase peoples minds) and send it to me for
my Halloween costume?
My old companion has been moved to the
same ward as the President. So he could
keep an eye on him. I am very happy and
have great new missionaries to hang out with!
That is my week so far, Love you!!
Love Elder Vance
