New Year

To all,
This has been such an interesting week. A little bit of the fall
out from the holiday season I am sure. But a lot of great things are
happening. Elder Mangum and I are pretty stoked of what is to come. We
are teaching so many really cool people!
That is one of the coolest things about the mission! Just meeting
so many incredible people! I love that about the mission, it is like
going best friend hunting hahaha. That is a little weird, but it is
true! I have made sooo many new friends and have created real eternal
relationships! It truly is special because on both ends, there is a
lot of sacrifice from one another to a single purpose. Us as
missionaries pray, study, focus and work for our investigators all so
that they can come closer to Christ. And the investigator changes
their entire life, sacrificing friends, jobs, habits and time so that
they can come closer to Christ. I am often reminded how mch more they
are sacrificing than me. It is so incredible. In the end, we part with
stengthened testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ and of the
Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Prophet Joseph
Smith. And knowing that the sacrifices from the person across from you
have gotten you to that point is truly incredible. It has been such a
blessing in my life.
I love you all! Take care and have a great week!

Elder Walter
