We went to Hell, Michigan and back this week!!

This was a great week! We taught quite a few lessons and spent a lot
of time with members too, I really love the Brighton ward and everyone
in it!! :) I don't want to leave anytime soon haha. We've gotten a
total of about 6" of snow or more in this past week so we've been
shoveling a lot! :) Which means lots of Hot Chocolate too! Haha.
Anyways, there were a couple things that stood out this week.
One, we went to Hell, Michigan earlier in the week and so that was
kind of fun! We thought of a good door approach to use there, "Hey
we're missionaries and our purpose is to help bring people closer to
Jesus Christ, we thought Hell would be a good place to start!" hahaha
didn't actually get the chance to use it but it would be awesome! So I
got some pictures from there, it was pretty cool.
We had interviews with President Gerber this week and they were
amazing and instructional! I learned so much. My goal this year is to
become an absolutely consecrated missionary, meaning that I put every
ounce of energy that I can muster into the work, forget about myself
completely, and do the Lord's Will. I have attached the talk,
"Becoming a Consecrated Missionary" by Tad R. Callister, it is amazing
I love it! So interviews were a big lift as President gave me some
good advice on how to become a better missionary and trainer to Elder
Hatch! I love President Gerber so much! I know that he receives
revelation directly from Heavenly Father and has the right to receive
that revelation for this whole mission.
We found a couple new people to teach this week so that is great!
We also got members out with us to lessons 4 times this week which is
a great improvement from the recent weeks. I love the Brighton Ward
and I love the people in this area!
I know that as we study the Bible and Book of Mormon that we will
draw closer to Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father and that we will begin
to FEEL a tangible relationship with them growing within us. I know
that Jesus Christ lives today and leads this Church . While

many people dismiss religion as an unnecessary thing, people are
finding the truth each and every day through prayer to their loving
Father in Heaven, who WILL answer their prayers if we just ask Him
sincerely, with real intent, having faith in Christ.
I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week, Elder Hatch and I will! :)
