So sad to write those final words. We have had a great run. We work through rain, snow, sun, humidity, Bone chilling winds, tears, happiness, and so much more. It is coming to an end. I can not wait to see everybody that will be there. I have a lot of love for the people out here but I have a lot of love for the people at home too. I will continue strong. </div>

Love the work of God and it has changed the world to know that I have been apart of this great work and still have one more week to do it. Looking back on the past for the last two years. I have seen both the good and the bad. The heart aches and the overwhelming joy of this work. Let me tell you this though That this is an experience that I would never change. I would not change it for the world. I Love the time that I have had doing this mission. The field is white and already to harvest. The worker is worthy of his meat. So much love and devotion I have unto the most high God, and my Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. You just have to ring it out and Just love every minute and seeing people and seeing what God has in store for them. You learn to see them in his Eyes and see the beauty and the light of Christ. Charity if no man hath then faith and hope will cease to exist. Even now looking at the people that I have helped bring unto Christ. A change has occured. But even now Seeing the great blessing each area, and each person help me become the great man I am going to one day become is astounding and unreal to me. I would not ever have become were I am today with out it. But only one more email and I will be home. I look forward to seeing the faces that I love once and still love again. Love you all</div>

Well time is now ticking and getting things done is ever more desirable. The work here has been doing well. We have a few people that have been getting ready but the main one that is on track for baptism is Rhonda and she is doing awesome. All is moving forward and she will be baptized on June 27. We then have a bunch of Less active people ready to come back but need to make the decision in themselves that they are ready. But we have been busy and not really much is new. But we did go to Mohican State park and that was very enjoyable. Pictures should be coming in and well I enjoyed it all. Love you and see you next week. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">SO things here have been great. Just have been nice and calm and getting the work of the Lord done. Gotta love how the Lord works in things. But I have seen so much and getting so much done that I am super happy and love the work that has been put forth. It definitely has not been easy but it never was so what is new there. I love my mission and I have enjoyed it so much and I love working on getting things figured out to help this part of the world grow in the gospel. We have finally set a date with Rhonda and it won't be tell a few days tell after I leave for home but that is what the Lord intended and that is what I am going to do. </span></span><br />

Well now, I am getting older and older. My birthday was awesome. It was sort of actually like a birthday week for me. It started Sunday of last week with the Crawfords. They made me a cake and it was delicous. Then they sent it home with us. Then on Monday we got to go to the Kunick family and they celebrated it on Monday. Then on Tuesday I went to Bro Stapleton and and they got me a cake and sent that home with us. Then on Wednesday the Crawfords got me a birthday present. I am sending pictures. Also an investigator made us cake. Then on Thursday I got a package from Grandma/pa Peterson. Then on friday the Bournes celebrated. Then on Saturday I got 6 cards. Saturday split was a big success, just excited to have it over and done. We had regional conference yesterday, and we heard from Elder Hughes of the seventy, Sis Reeves of the Relief Society, Elder Anderson of the twelve, and Elder Hales of the twelve. Elder Hughes talked about how there was a man in the middle east that is Mormon and how he lives in constent danger of being killed for his beliefs. Like he was writing a letter to the twelve letting them know how he was doing. He said that even though bombing happens as he writes with Anti aircraft going off. He still writes. He teaches his family knowing that one day the gospel will come to the middle east and he wants his family to be ready. Sis Reeves talked about the Atonement of Christ, and how we need to use it to the fullest. Don't think that just because you made a mistake you are imperfect. She relaid an experience of a man (when she was a mission presidents wife) how he thought that God could never forgive him of what he had done. But her husband interviewed the man and found him worthy to be baptized. She said the man was so happy and overjoyed that he feel on his knees crying knowing that God had forgiven him. We then heard from Anderson who taught about how God is losing the signifigance in the world. Like 6 years ago 82% believed in God, then 4 years later 69% believe. He said that the sad part is the answer is simple to fix this problem. You need to have scripture study. You need to be at church. But most of all you need to teach about God in the home. Next we heard from Elder Hales and he shared the importance of scripture study and prayer. He shared not just the importance of personal study and prayer. But with your spouse companion study and prayer. Also family study and prayer. He said if you want to be comforted do this and miracles will happen. He then shared the success stories of people that do what he did and shared 10 examples of the hundreds he had of people finding the church because people followed the Lords council. But love you all.<br /><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">-- </span></div>

Well things have been going awesome, the baptism went super awesome. We had a huge support with the ward and them getting baptized and it was a joy to see them all there. We had everything all set up and ready to go and it was a really smooth baptism. Not much went wrong at all. I sent pictures to my mom so you will have to bug her about getting those. haha The new person (her name is Rhonda) we are teaching is doing so awesome as well. She got talking to some of the ward members and it was such a blessing in itself. Then we also have a few more people that we are teaching and things are doing awesome. But not much else, continue the basic principles of the Gospel and I promise that your life will always be easier then if you do without it.<br />Love you all</div>

Well this is going to be a short one, but things are doing awesome, lots of things are panning out, Like we are all set for the baptism this Saturday and it is super exciting. Trever and Marlene are all set and ready to go. So we are going to be busy with that this week which is great. Well the work has been progressing forward at a rapid rate. We have a new investigator that is already ready for baptism and just needs for April to come so that way she can be baptized. We have been getting new investigators, and they have all been referrals. But keep on working and getting things done. Love you all</div>

Hello everyone, Well not much has happened just a bunch of weather that is all it seems to be. But Marlene (our investigator) bore her testimony and said that this is the church that they want to be in on Sunday in her testimony!!!!!! She said that she was planning on it and Trevor was too. It is such a powerful experience that it makes you go back and remember all that everyone has done and played apart in your life to get you were you are now. Like I know for a fact I am far from perfect, I screw up and I don't do things perfectly and even sometimes what the gospel of Jesus Christ says is right I still do wrong. But that has not changed who I am becoming. I see it in every person that I meet. You have a desire and you want to change. But it is just to hard, or you feel that you can never go back. Marlene said it in her testimony, she didn't know where she wanted to go and had no idea what God had in store for her. But she met me with another Elder when her mom got in a bike/car accident and that was the first time she talked to us. She felt scared and not sure what to do. Then a few months later she talked to us again and started to come to church and sees what she is and who she is becoming. Because of all that she has fallen in love with how the church has excepted her and made her better then what she was. The same happens to everyone, you cannot judge the church based on a few people or faults that others have. I have come to learn that especially. Because if you say that, it is the cowards way out. I have learned that when you say that the people are hypocrites you just don't want to fess up that you have done wrong or you just don't want to change. I delt with this problem recently with a less active, and I just looked at them and in my head said you have no idea what you are missing or what you are going to not become because you let others/yourself stop your progression in the gospel . But I know that because the message I and 85,000 other people share is true. We all are trying to achieve it and we all have our faults. I cry for joy every time I see people come unto Christ. I have said it plenty of times before I love seeing the change that this gospel brings in people if only you let it. I count the blessings that the Lord gives me and other if only you search for him. I see so many just on this mission alone. Every single person has that potential. My companion has taught me that so much. He just barely came out and he works his hardest trying to become the missionary that he sees. I love that desire and I continue to teach/him teach me these steps all the time. </div>

So a huge miracle.one is 8 the other 11, and the last one 14. The 14 year olds name is Marlene and that is the referral investigator. She has been coming to church for about 2 weeks now. The other two are from a year convert and they are her younger sisters. We have been working hard and getting things ready for the week. We have a lot of work ahead of us to build the testimonies of these great people. We also have been working with Less actives who are slowly coming back. But we will get them back by the end.

So this week was a blast because of how many things have been moving. We had Alexs Baptism on Saturday of last week and it was such a blast. It was such a rewarding experience that it brings any missionary to tears, except me of course. haha. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

But we have some new people to teach and a bunch of things happening with our already teaching people, like meeting with them. But we have not been able to get out this week due to that accursed sickness bug that's been going around. But still having a joyous time. The time is just always flying by. Well especially for Elder Clegg my dear comp of mine. He sadly is like shoot I go home in a month. Which is sad to me also. But that is why time is so precious. You just learn to keep on moving and getting things to work. We have been teaching for example the Bourne Family and they are so cool. They have a lot of growth and still growing and as the missionary that was apart of there conversion it brings great pride to know that all is going great and they are continuing in there journey in the gospel. I want everyone in the world both here in Ohio and back in Utah, Idaho, North Carolina, or where ever you are reading this to read the message of the Book of Mormon. It is a true Testimony that Jesus is the Christ. I know this and I know that you all can know this as well. </div>

I am so excited and it is going to be a great transfer. This area is a blast and I love every minute of it. This work is so great and the changes you see in people is so amazing and you grow to love God every minute of it. Just like this Saturday we have a baptism planned for the Bournes son Alex. It is such a great opportunity to teach this fine young man. He has a ton of Energy and is always ready to shoot nerf guns at you/we shoot him back. haha. But he is so great and so loving, if only everyone was to see the vision that God love you and he wants the very best for. That is why he sends trails and adversities. This gospel that has been restored to the fullest is meant for you and for me and for all to come closer to Christ. The only one that stops progression to come back with God is you and you alone. No ones actions can stop you from progressing. Love this gospel and I have so much more that I have planned to see and do. Continue strong don't let things be your barriers from true happiness. Funny how life does that to you happy one minute and still happy the next. Even in times of struggle. Continue on and Staying Strong</div>

Still got sick again.....grrr. But we were able to do a lot. We got in with a lot of people who just were always busy and that is always a plus with the Christmas Season. This Christmas we are going to the Crawfords home and I will be skyping there. At 11 to 2 my time (</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">so 9 to 12 your time)</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">. Our week this week is also busy. So great things there. We are working with the Bourne's son and he is scheduled for Jan 10 for baptism. Because the Bishop wants to be there for his baptism. Crazy that I am skyping my family already. It does not feel like it has been that long since I have skyped them. haha But not much else to report. I love you all and have a very Merry Christmas.</span><br />

Hello everyone Well everything is going well. Just a little sickness and so a little down in the apartment. But other then that all is awesome. Jacob Recieved the Priesthood and Bro Bourne is going to recieve the priesthood this week too. So heck yes. Got a lot of work going on and slowly but surely everything is coming together. Shout out to my Cousin Cameron who is coming home. Which is like oh crap 6 months. But so far so good. It is weird too, because we are having a little warm up over here. So that is a great too. Well that is my report and hopefully in two weeks I will be having another baptism to talk about.</div>

Mission Conference was this week and this is my last one...:( but we were able (as a companionship) to get in and visit a lot of people which is a great blessing in the eyes of this area. We are continuing to get people but as always at a really slow pace. But this week we have been able to set up appointments during the week and get things to move great that way. But as a mission we have been able to baptize this year so far over 240 people. Which is miraculous from were it has been. It makes everyone feel great that this is going super great. Our mission President even cried because this was his last Christmas conference for the mission and he was like you better get the new goals done next year for the new mission president. But it was a very sad but great day. Other then that nothing Exciting. Just for all you weather people. It is a Cool mid 30's and wind chill. Love you</span><br />

Well Thanksgiving was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heck no I did not overstuff,I learned my lesson from last year and so I only had 2 1/2 plates instead which was all I ate that day. So my appetite has really been decreasing. I weigh now at260. Which is really awesome. I think that it is more muscle then anything. Because I have stretch marks like on my shoulders just above the armpits. It looks really cool. I am also really steady. It helps because I walk about 10 miles a day and that is my average. So a lot of exercise which I love. </div>

<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">I am having a blast out here and getting a whole lot of work done in the OCM. We have been staying busy getting in contact with a bunch of people that we have been trying to get a hold of since I have been here in Ashland. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">Not much new just have mission conference tomorrow. So that should be a blast. But the work here has been increasing. We are getting in contact with people and it is like so cool. It helps to have a comp that is willing to listen and actually work with you. It makes a night and day appearance. I LOVE IT. hahaha Makes time fly by and it helps so much. Again I LOVE IT. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;">So we are having a valiant time getting things to push forward and it is working. The work just keeps on a moving. So we do have a baptism planned and working towards that. Which is my recent converts son who is a really funny kid. So then we were contacting and then we got referrals. Which is a glorious time to be a missionary. When you get them they are like gold. You love, love , and let me emphasize this LOVE referrals. It makes our work a whole lot easier. Love you all.</span><br />

Well everything is going great with me and my new companion Elder Clegg. He is quiet but a super cool Elder from the Cedar Fort area in Utah. He loves music, works hard, gets things done, smart country guy. I knew him back when I was in Perry and New Castle. He has been out for 21 months. He goes home in February<span style="color: blue;">. </span></div>

Actually I have only had Six out of ten comps that are from Utah. So not bad on that note.</div>

The Baptism went awesome last Saturday and the morning of the Baptism went absolutely crazy. First off we get a text from the person giving the talk on baptism saying that her daughter was sick so she couldn't make it. So one of us had to plan for that. Then we get a text from Sis Bourne (the person being baptized) saying she had a problem. We were like oh crap, so we texted back whats up. She then said she was sick. So we then had a long conversation back and forth and then the only reason why she didn't want to come was because she was sick. But she did come. Then of course, there was an Ice storm the night prior and that was like ugh. So everyone was late and that was stressful and we were hoping that all would go well. Then after that it went smooth. Then we all just wanted to collapse. But that was all a blast to have done. So then after that we got all the work done we just went out and did what we do best, Missionary work. </div>

Well doing great here in Ohio in the City of Ashland that has a population of 22,000. So much fun and great workout every day. I have to laugh though because my work is progressing and not at the same time. We find and teach but we don't find fast enough. We are having a baptism this Sunday for example and he is 18 almost 19 and has a desire to work and go on a mission. His name is Jacob. He is a super awesome kid. He loves the gospel. The way he was found is from a girl that was baptized last year named Anna and she asked if he wanted to take the lesson and he said sure (come to find out he only wanted to do it at that time for her). But when he was taking the lessons hard times came and he kept pushing and he has learned to love the gospel. So I am super excited to see him baptized. The next is the Bournes who was referred to us by a member <span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> (</span><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;">they have a date for the 22 of Nov and they may even move up faster then that)</span><span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px;"> and how they came in contact was at WalMart and now they are looking forward to progressing in the gospel. The only reason why we are teaching them now is because a Member opened there mouth and talked. Funny how that works even as a missionary. Everything is going awesome and yesterday a member told us that we only have 9 Fridays tell Christmas. Holy crap. Time goes by</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; line-height: 1.2em; outline: none;">So that is the address to send mail to. I have to laugh I have been in a car for so long that my feet became tender and I got blisters really bad. So probably by the end of this area I will have calist feet. Well that is what I am hoping for. Since I have been here I have three baptismal dates and working on getting this area ready for more work to move forth. The first is a guy Named Jacob. He had a date for the eleventh but didn't finish the lessons so he has a date for Oct 25 and so far he is on track for it. The next is a couple that has a desire to be baptized and their last names are the Bornes. They have a date set for Nov 22 I think. It is a Saturday that week. We are working and getting things ready for that. My Companions name is Elder Wray (R-a-y). I am in a apartment of four and working on getting work done. I am emailing in a coffee shop this week and that is an interesting experience. But I hate the smell of Coffee, it smells horrible. Not a good smell. I have to go because I am in a coffe shop. So Love you all and write me. I will answer any questions that anyone e-mails or mails (may not remember so I will try to email that persons answer back).</span></div>

Well the Gladys Knight Fireside was AWESOME. She has such a great testimony and it got a ton of people to get moving. We even got two new Investigators from it. Doesn't sound like much but with how many people we had go (3) We were super excited to get something. Elder Teh was so cool. I mean oh my Gosh he is sent from the Lord and with all the things he taught us it was so great. The kids hit a little road block and well it went all great. Christian told his Dad he was going on a mission, and he wasn't to happy to hear that. So a little hick up, but the Lord will make things happen. Well that is not stopping us. We have set a date for October 3. Christian is thinking that it will happen. So I am putting a ton of faith that this is happening. The two new investigators are ones that we have no idea who they were. So we got people that we never new about. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you We had BED BUGS.......GRRRRR. I hate those stupid critters. They are very nasty and ugly.</div>

Well things here have been good. So it had its up and its down. Sadly no our bed bugs are not gone and we have to get an exterminator. The way you get bed bugs is if you go into someones home and they have them. So they latch on to you and get in your home. So as you know we missionaries go every where and anywhere.<br />

<span style="line-height: 15.6000003814697px; text-align: center;"> I got the hole in my pants and will it is from working to hard so I had to buy me new pants. We are doing really great on investigators. We are now teaching ten investigators. No one close to baptism yet but they are coming along. The Harris are close but no cigar. They will have to wait tell next year to be baptized in Utah probably. So they will do that next June.... Not much else is going on. Four days isn't long enough for a long letter. But Watch General Conference it should be super good.</span></div>

Well I have had a really great week. A lot has happened since the last time I wrote. We have as a mission completely run out of tickets for Glady's Knight. Huge Huge Huge accomplishment. We even still have a waiting list of (last time I checked) over 500 people still wanting to get into this Fireside. So Yahoo. Also, just as info, I found out that a friend of mine was just baptized. His name is Lorenzo Dudley. He was a friend that played basketball with me. So super excited to hear that he was Baptized. We are also working great out here to. We are so close with the Harris's. We have just finished teaching them and now is the test. So wait tell next week to get a response. We then have worked with Airiel and now getting her to come to church. That is the next step. After that we have been getting the ward bigger slowly but surely. That is all but great news. For me at least. </div>

Well I have transfer information.........and I wont tell, tell the end of my letter. So you will have to read it to find out what happens. Well this week was a blast. We have now had training on Glady's Knight to know now what to do. Everything is awesome. We are like pushing this fireside so hard and getting people to come to it that we want them to have to come back next year and do another performance to fit everybody in. But that is like our busy life now. We also have Elder Teh coming the week after Glady's Knight comes. So when I mean busy I mean busy. We also have to prepare for him to come and that is nuts. Also when Glady's Knight comes. The following week after. I wont be having Preparation day tell Thursday the 25, So if you dont get an email from me on the Monday dont worry I have forgot about you but I have just been busy doing things for the week. So to update you on all that has been going on. The Harris are moving along they are almost done teaching. Now we just have to finish it up and get the permission. We found a new investigator that is really cool. I think that it is cool because she is real committable and willing to change. Her name is Airiel (Ariel). So cool things there. So if you havent figured out by now I am staying. haha. It is really cool that I am. I thought for sure that I was leaving. But other things Heavenly Father has in mind for me. haha. </div>

Gladys Knight has pretty much been filled up and there are limited seats left. Which means that they may just have to come back next year and do the fireside again.</div>
<div class="yiv1508725696gmail_default" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; line-height: 15.5999994277954px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
<span style="line-height: 15.5999994277954px;">Yesterday we had Stake Conference. I like it, but I prefer Church because then I can relax a little bit and be the one taught instead of teaching all the time. But I did love it.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 15.5999994277954px;">So let me tell you about the rest of the month for me. This week is our prep week. Next week is Gladys Knight, The following week is Elder Teh, the following week General Conference, Then the following week is prep for transfers and then the week after that Transfers. So much going on. This is going to be a fast transfer. So a lot going on. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 15.5999994277954px;">So for Christmas gift, Already going to make a list for people to know what they want to send me. Church socks(especially), ties (remember cant stand out and no People or characters on the tie), dress slacks (Get a 34 to 36 waist and 36 length). Because people always ask me what to get for Christmas and I am just asking for the basics (well for a missionary).</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 15.5999994277954px;">Everyone is doing great here. We almost have the Harris ready for baptism. They are right there. We have all but four things we need to teach them. We also have picked up a few new people and they seem really solid. There names are Airiel and Stephen. They are a couple and they are interested in changing their lives. So great things there. We also have been getting in with a bunch of less active people that we never get in with before. So the work is picking back up. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 15.5999994277954px;">The work is true and everyone needs to be apart of this great work. You won't know unless you live it. Blessing do come and they come because we have a Father that is in Heaven that cares about us and wants us to change. That is what he cares about.

<span style="font-size: large;">So this week has been good. All the crazy things just keep coming up. All of life's fun trials just keep on coming. Like for example Nothing that we had planned at all this week went according to plan. Pretty much every scheduled appointment this week got canceled, and then we moved people, then we went on a lot of exchanges.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Everything is just great. We have to work our way through trials and tribulations. Sooner or later things will turn for the better. We are still teaching the Harris's and they are doing awesome. So much coming about with them that it is insane.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just another day in the Ohio weather. Have had so much rain that every week has had at least 2 to 3 inches of water probably a lot more then that. But just working as usual. Tracking, stopping bye, and the majority doing service for the community to get our name out there. We have to keep pushing because the message is true. Our work will reach out to the world because it is pressed forward by God. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The people we are working with</span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">are still working on getting ready for Baptism. Almost there. Just a few tweeks and turns and shifts that the Lord will make, will be what makes this baptism possible. Other then that no one new to talk about yet. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Have only like two and a half weeks left of this transfer. It is way fast. I will admit there are down times but you just have to keep pushing forward I just don't like to let those times show. Because it is not worth the time and energy to let me mope and complain. When I can do so much more outside. But I do love this work.</span><br />
