April 24th, 2017 Lawrence, KS,

Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing well, my week was really great!
We had a very successful week with finding and we were able to have
Erica and her family come to church! We met Kenneth this week, he is
Erica's fiancé, he is awesome. We played lots of basketball with him
this week and then taught him a lesson after. I sprained my ankle
playing in one of the games, I couldn't really walk for a couple days
but It's doing good now!

The members here are so great! There are so many great families here.
The Kema's are really awesome, they have a son who is going on a
mission in June and he's a great kid. Also the Schofields are awesome,
Brother Schofield is our ward mission leader and they are a couple
from Utah that both went to BYU, sister schofield played volleyball
for BYU. They had us over for dinner on Sunday night and it was a lot
of fun!

I got to give a talk yesterday in church and I spoke on living the
gospel in our lives. I went over Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving
the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. I talked about
how we can use these things in our lives daily and weekly. I'm so
grateful for the restored gospel! I'm grateful we know what things to
do in this life to help us have peace in this life and salvation in
the life to come. The Book of Mormon outlines the doctrine of Christ
so purely and I'm so thankful god loves us enough to give us more of
his word to guide us in our lives.

I hope you're all doing well! Have a great week!
