Hey Family,
It sounds like everything is going well with you guys! You're doing great on the Book of Mormon reading! How many chapters do you usually read per night? 2 Nephi is a really good book! We did happen to know the missionaries that got held hostage! They are in our zone and one of them was Elder Gardner's old companion! They are doing ok now so everythings good! Anyways, this week was good! Jeffrey R. Holland came to the mission and spoke to us!! He is my favorite apostle hands down! He speaks with so much power and authority it's unreal!! He talked about how this is the last dispensation and how every missionary in every other dispensation has had some success, but has eventually failed! Every missionary in the Book of Mormon and in the Bible has had people listen to them but eventually they end up falling away and going into apostasy! Alma and Amulek, Ammon, Paul, even Jesus Christ. But in this dispensation, it will never fail! The Gospel is going to stay here on the earth forever, until Jesus Christ comes again, NOTHING is going to take it away! Obviously he said it more powerfully than I can but it hit me really hard! We also had another lesson with Rayna, and at the end of the lesson she said "Thank you guys so much for finding me and sharing this message with me" that wasn't the exact wording but it was so cool to hear! It's awesome to see the Gospel change peoples lives and bring so much happiness to them! Other than that we did a lot of yard work for people this week and we taught a couple other lessons! Being a missionary is the best thing ever!! It's going to stink when I have to take off the tag, but I'm going to enjoy it while I have it! I love all of you and I'm grateful for you all in my life! Keep doing what's right, and I'll talk to you next week! Btw next week is transfers so I will be emailing on Monday instead of Tuesday!
Love Elder Summerhays
Elder Gardner and I are running out of miles on our car, so we're bringing out the old bikes!
