c30e07fe-3973-4c78-9571-e1b0af16194a Elder Booker Wakefielk Back to Missionary Letters First week in Salto Well our phone finally started working on Saturday. We had a few lessons drop because the streets are so messed up and we couldn't call them to find them😪. But we found a few and had some fun lessons. Elder Hopkins doesnt understand hardly any Uruguayo Spanish, but he speaks really well so I will translate for him sometimes then he can teach jaja. We took 1 whole photo since last pday so yeah. Our bishop is a police officer and he laid out all the areas where we can't be at night(like half of our area) and said to keep your phone in your pocket as much as possible. So that's been fun, we're in a pretty poor area here but the people are really humble and want to learn, it's been different than any area in my mission. I studied an awesome BYU devotional called, "Putting off the Natural man and becoming Saints." It's by Elder Cook and I love it! He relates a story about 2 horses he bought, Bob and Stubby. Bob was super friendly and stubby not so much. But after riding him for years he became a good horse and changed for the better, and how we need to be meekand to change. He tells is a LOT better than I just did so go read his talk. Have a great week!! Previous Letter Next Letter

39d96e2b-216c-4f3d-8bf1-fc398db3b32a Elder Joshua Abbott Back to Missionary Letters The One Where I Go Home Hey everyone! This week was pretty sweet. Not tons happened but it was still good. I had my exit interview on Wednesday with President Thompson. I never thought that time would come so it was super weird for sure. We did some fun service too so that was fun to be able to get out of the house. That was really about it, this week really wasn't super exciting haha. So this will be the last weekly I ever send which is super crazy to think. I'll be returning home on Wednesday so that's pretty exciting. I want to end by just sharing my testimony of the things I've learned as my experience as a missionary. I'm so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. He has carried me and helped me through so many hardships and struggles that I've had. I know that He lives and this is He church. I know He loves me and all of God's children. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that by reading it that you can come closer to God than by any other book. I know God answers prayers and is waiting to guide us in out lives. If you have a question and go to Him with a sincere heart and real intent that He WILL answer your prayers. He always comes through. I love you all a ton and I really appreciate all the support you've shown as I've been on my mission. See yall soon! Previous Letter Next Letter

d00fcbce-742c-4e91-984c-0d14eae1d195 Sister Sage Bundy Back to Missionary Letters "She is just so adorably clueless" Fun fact about Sister Bundy: the last movie she watched before getting set apart was Clueless (because of course) and this line is kind of the mood for the week. Okay in all honesty, I'm not doing too bad. I've got one week in the field all done! And this week I officially hit my one month mark (weird, right?) And so far the mission has been a party. Well, maybe party isn't the right word because #reverence but it's been overall a solid week. Last Sunday before I left for the field I surprised my family at the Bundy Reunion for testimony meeting!!! Ahhh, it was the best thing ever. I was still sad to miss the dances, races, ice caves, and general festivities BUT testimony meeting was amazing and I got the opportunity to report on my mission as a set apart missionary which was SUCH a cool experience. I feel like there's so much strength to be gained by sharing your testimony with your family and hearing theirs in return. Its seriously so so awesome. It was also good to have one last trip to Mt Trumbull before I left. I love that place with my whole heart. On Tuesday we drove me to my mission which was super cool. Little advantage of driving to your mission is there's no weight limit and no one to check your bags so we packed my carryon full of steaks and hamburger because I may as well not bid farewell to good Bundy beef just yet. My parents also got to meet my mission president and his wife as well as both of my companions so that was also neat. Speaking of which, I met my trainer this week! Her name is Sister Fambrough and she is just the cutest ever. I seriously love her so much. I was lowkey scared that I'd get an awful trainer but lucky me, I totally scored. We get along super well and have tons of fun and laugh a lot. Shes also a hard worker and I feel like we accomplish lots as well. We also live with some Spanish speaking sisters and that's lots of fun as well. Hermana Draut makes me laugh so so hard every single day and Hermana Coray is super sweet, so I definitely am feeling blessed in the roomie department. Last little story in this email but I have to tell you guys about this super cool experience that Sister Fambrough and I had. So we have zoom calls with the whole mission three times a week, so a lot of times we'll go over to the church to watch them. Our mission is kind of bad at time-keeping apparently because they always go over. Anyways. Surprise, we were late getting out but I'm so glad we were! So as we're in the church, we look out the window and see that someone is kinda circling the parking lot. We didn't think too much of it, but when we got out that same car was parked in the shade and they looked like they were having trouble of some kind. We went over and introduced ourselves and asked if we could help with anything. They said they had fuses out and wondered if we had any replacements. We said that we would call the elders and offered to get them some water because it was starting to get hot. We ran to our apartment and called the elders and while we were waiting for a call back we decided to run and quickly grab some lunch. As we passed the church, we noticed that the car was gone. We ran through a drive through and when we got all the way around, GUESS who was standing there? The guy from the parking lot!! We gave him the water and some granola bars and we went around to their car and gave them a Book if Mormon. They also said a prayer with us and have us their contact information. It was awesome. In Gods plan, there are no coincidences. That's about all I got for you guys this week but I love you all and I hope that the rest of your week is great. Previous Letter Next Letter

b9b92ee5-b555-4027-8dfe-8b5c92da3d3c Elder Jeremy Perkins Back to Missionary Letters Let's go!! Found out yesterday that I'll be staying another transfer in Tickle Creek with Elder Maxwell! That will mean I will have served 10 ½ months in the Mount Hood Zone! I think it's be really awesome to say that I've served 1 year in Mount Hood. I'm excited to stay because good things are coming! We had to drop Dan and it was pretty hard because he told us he wanted to be a part of our church, but he wasn't willing to do the necessary steps. On the bright side though, we met with a guy that we round over Facebook. So funny story, the Social Media Specialists have really stressed the importance of joining groups, and so I decided to join a dad jokes group, well I sent a dad joke to a bunch of people and got a few responses, one was named Scott. We've been talking for about 2 weeks now and somehow the gospel was brought up. We had a church tour with him the other day and he is now reading the Book of Mormon! Another cool miracle is we took a member to a meeting with our friend Erin! Erin really opened up to her and explained that she doesn't want us to feel bad or that we've failed because she hasn't converted yet. Rather she said she is continuing praying to find out for herself if baptism is right for her. It was an amazing experience. Go feed the horses! I've been reading in Alma lately and I love the part where Ammon, after he defended the flocks, is feeding the horses. He went the extra mile. In Alma 18:8-9 it states "And it came to pass that king Lamoni inquired of his servants, saying: Where is this man that has such great power? And they said unto him: Behold, he is feeding thy horses." So my new saying is "go feed the horses" go the extra mile. You have 10 people on baptismal date, amazing! Go feed the horses! keep going. Keep progressing. I'm grateful for stories and examples like these that build my testimony. I know the Book of Mormon is true, it is tangible evidence of the truth of the Church of Jesus Christ. Anyone can find that out. You just have to open the Book, study, and pray. Love you guys have a blessed week! elderjeremyperkins Previous Letter Next Letter

90646e3f-c72c-4945-b2d3-c7f08daa26a0 Elder Maurice Jayden Perkins Back to Missionary Letters Batismo de Dionel This week was a good one. There were some great things that happened this week! Tuesday was the Independence Day of Moçambique and that was pretty cool. One of the members in our area is the Young Women's Presidente and so she asked us to invite some of the people that we are teaching, to an activity they were having. We brought one of the young women from a family we are teaching and she loved it! After that we walked with another member and it was great. We are teaching some of his friends now and they came to church this week! After that on Wednesday we taught a lot of people and that was really good, and on Thursday we went and visited the Americans again. This time one of the couples that wasn't there the last time was there and we talked and visited with them. They asked us some questions about things and it went really well. At the end we gave them pamphlets and ended with a prayer. It was really cool. On Friday we visited a man who just wanted to talk in English with us. He speaks pretty good and it was cool because he served a mission for his church as well but he understood the message really good. We also had the Baptismal Interview for Dionel! So Dionel is a 10 year old who's family has been coming to church for the past two years or so and they just haven't been married yet. However their son Dionel wanted to be baptized and they wanted him to be baptized as well. So we taught him. Here's the thing though,he does not speak Portuguese. He only speaks Macuewa, the local dialect, and so we needed a translator. We taught him everything through his dad and that was pretty cool. When it came time to do the interview, the Branch President did it because he speaks Macuewa. The baptism was awesome and he chose me to baptize him. It was special being able to baptize him. How amazing is it that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will always find a way to bless other people. Even though there was a language barrier the Gospel of Jesus Christ was able to break through and bless his life. It is a testimony to me as I remember the promise in the scriptures, "28 And now I say unto you that the time shall come that the salvation of the Lord shall be declared to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people."- Mosiah 15:28 I am excited for his mom and dad to be baptized as well here in the new future and I know that this is the true church of Jesus Christ. This wonderful work will go on no matter what! I am so grateful to be a part of it and for all the blessings that the Lord gives to me. Entao até próxima semana. Obrigado aos todos! Tchau tchau!

89ee6518-5430-4fcd-9c22-dc92d8abd8b1 Sister Resha Nicole Bunker Back to Missionary Letters To start off, we had District Council on Tuesday. Part of District Council includes us discussing a Gospel principle, and deciding what we can do to teach it more effectively. This week, we discussed the Great Apostasy and the need for a restoration of truth. It all makes perfect sense. After Christ and the Apostles were killed, there was no more authority on the Earth. The Priesthood was simply gone. With no authority on the Earth, there could be no leader. With no leader, there could be no more guidance or direction from God on a large scale. As a result of this, unauthorized people made unauthorized changes to Jesus Christ's truths he had taught. For 1,820 years, people were lost! This really puts things into perspective for me. Because of the restoration of the Gospel, we don't have to be lost anymore. The Priesthood has been restored to the Earth, we have a leader, aka President Nelson, and we have Christ's truth back on the Earth in their fullness. IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING. We had an opportunity to teach a man, Kenny, this exact thing. We were out doing some tracting one day, and while we were walking towards the street we wanted to knock, a man was standing outside watching his friends kids. We discussed The Book of Mormon with him, and discussed how it is evidence of the restored Gospel of Christ. He was so fascinated! We are going to meet with him tonight! Here is another good tracting story. We tracted into 2 members who hadn't updated their address. So moral of the story, update your info on LDS Tools. :))) It was hilarious! Our zone is making an emphasis on tracting this month. We are all setting aside an hour every single day to tract. We knocked, and we knocked, and we knocked. I've loved every second of it, who knew that tracting could be FUN?! Saturday night we had a lesson with Marleney and D'leiny. They currently attend a different Church, but have been praying about being baptized. They asked us how to know which Church they should commit to. We invited them to pray, and to search for the Spirit answering their prayers. They asked us the following questions: -How does the spirit speak to you? -How do you feel it? I invite you to reflect on how the Spirit speaks to YOU, and how YOU feel it. President Nelson gives some suggestions to help figure this out in his first address as President of the Church. Go read "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for our lives." Acting on the promptings we receive from the Spirit and being obedient help us to find the most joy. I was reading in the Book of Mormon, and I came across a verse, 2 nephi 5:27. "And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness". The people of Nephi were being obedient to the commandments, and seeking for the Spirit to guide them. The result was happiness. I know that obedience brings blessings, and obedience brings joy. God has created a beautiful plan of happiness for you and for me. It's up to us to choose it. Have a great week! Sister Bunker Previous Letter Next Letter

8c2cdb7e-48a6-4575-bb8d-757a8779382a Sister Jasmin Bundy Back to Missionary Letters Contention is of me 🚨🌡 Whats up, folks?? Huh? What's up? It's a good day... to have a good day... so have a good day Mmmmhm! Let me just say that I've been raging around Cookeville this week. Our friend has been calling us everyday to scream about her work and her car. We've done everything we can to help her out, cause Jesus loves her! 🩷 Well she said she needed a ride to work one day so I called probably 30 members trying to find someone that could make an hour round trip to get her to work. I found a sweetie named Tera, around our age, to give her a ride. Tera gave her a ride to work but told her she couldn't give her a ride home because she had a job herself. Amy chewed Tera out and then called us demanding we find her another ride. I told her to get on her shank pony and walk home. Respectfully, some people needed more whoopins growing up. BUT ALSO WEVE SEEN MIRACLES THIS WEEK 🌎🌞 my first miracle was Linda. We knocked on Linda's door and she let us right in. She's an elderly lady with the thickest accent of my whole life. We taught her about baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost and invited her to be baptized right then and there. We've seen her everyday since. We taught her about temples yesterday, and she just brightened up with the biggest grin and said "I'll get to see my daddy again?!" SHE IS A CUTIE 💓 My second miracle was GREG! It's 8pm on a Saturday night, we're in the bu**crack of our area, and we knock on GREG'S door! GREG is another old fart, around 75. He gave us a hard time the whole time, but he had some couches on his porch so we said "GREG, sit yourself down. We're going to share something with you." He did as commanded, and we taught him about baptism. GREG is getting baptized on may 10th now. I love GREG. We wrapped up with a prayer and GREG shuffled out to our car, opened our doors, and backed us out of the driveway. It was precious. 🙂↕️ OK OK last one: We've been teaching a man named David for a couple of weeks. We've invited him to be baptized, he's said no. But yesterday we sat and taught him about the first vision. The Spirit was strong enough to knock out an elephant 🐘 I could see it in David's eyes, he felt something. We invited him to read the Book of Mormon, he said no. We invited him to pray, and he made no comment. The man knows it's true, he's scared to admit it. I promise you all, as soon as David humbles himself enough to pray about This message, he will recieve an answer that confirms the truth to him, and he will choose to make covenants with God. This is because The Message IS TRUE. God has intentions for everyone to know that. I don't think there's a prayer answered much quicker than the prayer of an investigator as they seek to know if what they've been taught is correct. Have you prayed about it yet? Maybe you should. I love you all more than casaba melons! 💛/ Sister Bumdie Previous Letter Next Letter

e378f641-b668-40e5-823b-c13a3b918a62 Elder Jeremy Vogel Back to Missionary Letters Solomio (Harare), Zimbabwe Hello everyone this week has been a little crazy so let me try to sum it up. But first things first. Happy Birthday Dad! I would have called if it didn't cost all the airtime in our phone to call you for 2 minutes! Love you! Last Monday we actually had a combined dinner appointment that we attended to after we did our regular P-day stuff. We were with the other companionship in our district and we went to a small families house. The father of the house loves to have missionaries around and he is in charge of all the seminaries and institutes in Zimbabwe. His family is lovely and always likes having us around when we come. But this is the first time I would be able to talk to them all at once since I got here. So we used a good crowd pleasing object lesson (listen up David). We brought a bunch of vanilla Ice cream and a few toppings. Bring a few different things out and put it all on the table. Get everyone their bowl of ice cream and let them start putting on their topping from all their different choices; chocolate chunks, sprinkles, caramel, ketchup, pepper, and last but not least vinegar. Start asking them if they want some of the other things. But you start asking why they are not taking other things like ketchup and vinegar. After the "it doesn't go with ice cream" you start talking about how you spend your time. Because these things if you put them into your ice cream they don't come out. Tuesday started with a bit of a disappointment. After our District council we went to go get our lunch. We wanted to pick up a platter of meat we had ordered Monday morning. But the meat platter hadn't been prepared. So we are trying to do that again this week. We have gotten some new contacts at the mission office. These were people brought under pretenses that we were going to provide passports for people wanting to do missionary work. We are happy to help them figure out paperwork but we were not going to pay, especially when it was found out that these few were not members. And they were led over to the church by some members promising this is how to get free passports. But they are now interested. We went over to where they stay and it is an orphanage. And we are teaching them. But what is also interesting is the woman running the orphanage. She loves having preachers around her house. But she is a strong interdenominational person. Loves to have people from everywhere come and preach but never lets kids go to any other church than the interdenominational one run at the orphanage. We are working on her as she is a linchpin for a bunch of people. But she probably won't progress as many of the other children live at other peoples houses usually bring preachers of other faiths and now some of these kids are now like missionaries for hire. Taught them on Sunday after their session and we had like 15 new people from one lesson, so hopefully if we don't get through to the woman maybe this mass of children will get into her. Wednesday was interviews with President Makasi. Since the zone is smaller then before they decide just to combine everyone into one meeting. So we had a nice time just chatting about whatever we wanted. We had had exchanges cancelled that day (this is the third time in a row if you are counting). We are in the same zone as the Assistants and they showed up during the middle of their exchange. Weird but whatever. But then when lunch was decided the assistants were out, but ordered food for them but not the people they were on exchanges with, then told us to save their food. Hmmmm some elders decided to just help themselves. (I should mention that this was only one of the AP's ideas). But later the phone call if we had their food. Answer was no. Other then that we had a pretty regular week. Went around teaching. Shared what we could. But things got good during the week end. Saturday was the last attempt to do exchanges. I went with Elder Crook to Eastview while Elder Mhangwana went with Elder Ndlela to Solomio. We had spent almost all day at a wedding. At the end of it I did the baptismal for the couple. We only taught one lesson the whole day. During the wedding however we got a call from the Elders in Solomio. They had been joking with someone we were teaching. Then they told them I had got Corona and that I was being shipped home under critical condition. And she got uncontrollably emotional. They had to call me just to help her calm down. Apparently she had tears and everything. I had to talk her down for about 10 minutes between her sniffing and crying. Sunday was the last day for missionaries to Baptize. We walked all the way to Ruwa to baptize a member's little sister. He just barely received the priesthood so he got to baptize her. And another person (Edith) we baptized came to help. She had been baptized last month and she helped this girl when she got out of the font to get changed and redressed. But I am still trying to find another card reader for my photos. Because this is crazy So hopefully things come around. But I hope you all have a great week! -Elder Vogel Previous Letter Next Letter

23c2fe0e-24a0-4e47-b8ff-1f7a29736c77 Sister Nayel Andrade Back to Missionary Letters GRAND COOKIE SCHEME Howdy! I don't quite know what to say for an intro today but, here's the week: - COOKIIIEEESSSSS, so many cookies. I have wanted to make cookies since getting out and every single time we met someone or visited someone my first reaction after was “We need to bring them cookies” and Sister Smith thought it was a joke, but I was serious last week. And we made cookies and delivered them in attempts to make some friends. The absolute joy this brought to my heart, I was so excited, it was great. For those of you not in the google photos, Alya(my sister) so kindly commented “Too bad it didn't work while you were in Mesquite🫡” to my cookie scheme picture, welllll didn't work as planned here either BUT then we took them to members and they loved them so I CALL IT A WIN, and this week will be the GRAND COOKIE SCHEME PT 2. - We had dinner with the Bings and the Podeszwa families this week and both were amazing dinners. - Spent some study time on the beach, AMAZING, the natural beauty here is 10/10. Found the city pool, the urge I've had to just go for a long swim this past week has been crazy, mais ça va. - Visited our friend Stephanie, she is super sweet and has a dog called Nellie. Met the cutest dog that was called MOE. Spelled just like my Moe's name is(I asked) that was a big tender mercy. - District Council was hilarious, Elder and Sister McPhee are the best, and Elder McPhee shared a whole list of do's and don'ts for a proper hand shake, he was passionate and we were all having a good laugh. - Richard (our hearing impaired friend) showed me how to say the Sacrament Prayers in Sign Language at church yesterday. That was awesome! Spiritual thought: You guys should listen to President Holland's most recent insight on facing challenges, HE TALKS SWIMMING. The way I stood up and danced when he did, He quoted a swimmer, that said that you become a championship swimmer by KICKING EVEN WHEN YOU DONT WANT TO KICK and stroking even when you dont want to stroke. This is so incredibly true. Continuing with swimming references, when you are in the thick of winter training(its rough), oftentimes you don't see the progress, you don't see the growth, and it can be so hard to see the bigger picture. But coach sees it, and he knows you are struggling (and still throws in another 200 sprint kick😤) but he does so and continues pushing you knowing that 1) you can handle it and 2)it's helping you develop. And then soon enough championship season is around the corner and you get to taper and put on each suits and you see the growth, you see the why. The same goes for our lives with our Coach(Heavenly Father) we will have times that are hard, when we are in the thick of our training, our personal Gethsemane’s, but we can know that 1)we can handle it and 2) it's helping us develop and 3)God knows exactly where we are and has a plan. And we keep kicking, we keep stroking, we “just keep swimming” (GET IT?!?🐟) I know that God brings peace to our hearts, I know He knows where each of His children are and what we are going through, and I know He loves us eternally. KEEP SWIMMING. Quote: “Make the sound, sizzle for me” -Sis Smith *Sis Smith backing up very fast* *I slam my hand on the car* "what?" -Sis Smith "You were about to hit A TREE" -me "NO I wasn't, where? *turns and sees the tree a foot behind the car* WHAT??? THAT CAME OUT OF NO WHERE" -Sis Smith Anyways, Nova Scotia is amazing! I highly recommend visiting, it just steals your heart. Hope your weeks were amazing! Let me know if there's anything I can do for you or if you have any questions. Love you all dearly! Sœur Andrade Previous Letter Next Letter

f93a215e-5a20-4bdb-847a-d62df10a6918 Elder Caiden Jone Back to Missionary Letters #35 TRANSFERS!! What is up my people. This is Elder Jones, BACK, with another weekly epistle. Let's get into it starting with transfer news! I'm still in Playford but Elder Wilson went to Wyalla. My new comp is Elder Clayton and I'll be training him for his second transfer! Super excited and even though it's only been two days, I can tell that this transfer if going to be a good one! Also, for those who know him, ELDER PERRY IS MY DL. LETS GOOOOOOO Google Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/SPHBKzMm2s5zEyUQ8 Email: caiden.jones@missionary.org Mission Address Letters (in Mission) PO Box 97 Marden SA 5070 Australia Packages (in Mission) 11 Sommers Avenue Firle SA 5070 Australia ————————————————————————— Animal(s) of the week: - Brax. He's the dog from before, but he's so funny - Buddy the Bird. One of our friends has a bird named buddy and he's pretty chill. Didn't land on me but he did land on Elder Hunt ————————————————————————— Highlight Reel: - WE PUT OUR FRIEND DAVID ON DATE!! He's working towards being baptized on March 16th! Prayers up for David - We had some pretty fire lessons this week with a lot of people. Playford is such a great area with tons of potential - Had a doctors appointment where I was waiting for an hour to go in (partially my fault) which kinda tucked - Transfer News! I always love hearing the changes in the mission. Some areas have electric scooters now and I hope I get to be in one before I go home - Exchanges with Elder Hunt. This guy is gonna be an AP one day. No doubt. - Elder Clayton is a beast. The greenie spirit is real and strong. So hyped ————————————————————————— Experience of the week! We put our friend on date! David is awesome and we're super excited to help him work towards baptism. The experience putting him on date though was kind of crazy. To make a long story short, it was very Spirit led. There were many times where God's will was shown and we trusted in Him. It was a powerful experience for me because it reminded me how important it is to use every second that you've got, serving with all of your heart, might, mind, and strength. The Lord leads us and if we listen to the Spirit we can have our will in harmony with God's. This week I would like to invite all of you to be very mindful of the Spirit and act upon the promotings you receive. Pray for guidance and to know God's will, and look for opportunities to serve. Try focusing on how the Spirit speaks to you. Read materials that increase your knowledge and understanding of the Spirit. Most importantly, put your trust in God. He has a perfect plan for you and although we might not know the reason for everything, our Father in Heaven has a much greater perspective. All of you, and those around you, will be blessed and strengthened as you follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I love you all and 'till next time! - Elder Jones Previous Letter Next Letter

929a47cf-9ef7-42f7-8d75-a8bff37a9535 Sister Kylie Cannon Back to Missionary Letters I’m Home Hey everybody it's been a couple weeks. I didn't think I would write another weekly email. But might as well end one with a bang right?! so guess whatttttt... I finished the "last lap" of my mission pretty quick. 6 weeks early. You didn't know I was so fast huh ;).Here is the low down. My pops decided to finish his "race" of life quicker than we all thought too. My dad gave his whole heart to my family and I. He worked his tail off to support us and teach us how to work hard. March 8th 2021 we finished his time here on earth and i'm sure he ran right into the embrace of his momma on the other side of the veil. My dad got really sick the past month and it was his time to go. Let me tell ya I LOVE MY DAD! I also love my heavenly father who sent me to my mom and dad. I am grateful for Jesus Christ. Because of his life, death and resurrection I know I can see my dad again. You can if you have lost a loved one. I LOVED MY MISSION. I HAVE LOVED MY COMPANIONS AND MISSION PRESIDENTS. It has been the greatest learning experience of my life so far. I have met lovely people and have made some lasting friendships. I have witnessed the power that comes into people's lives as they love and serve God with their whole might, mind and strength. I know the Book of Mormon is the Word of God. I know God lives. I know angels are real. I know life is hard but our burdens can be made lighter as we turn to Him who knows all. I am grateful for the time I have had to be a representative of Jesus Christ and teach others about His gospel in the Perth Australia mission and the Tempe Arizona Mission. A pic of my family and I at the funeral. They are some good looking people whooyee. I love yall. Hope yall are well. God Loves You. love, Kylie Cannon kyliecannon8@gmail.com Previous Letter Next Letter
