Hey Hey Hey!!
How's it going all! I just have a few minutes to shoot off a quick email to let you all know my new address and let you know Colorado is SWEET!!! I love my mission president so much already and I love the people so much already. We had an awesome first day in the field. We had a couple lessons with investigators and less-actives that were so fun to be a part of, I fixed the breaks on a bike for one investigator, had breakfast with a member that gave me a bike to use for a little while, and just all around had a great day. My trainer is Elder Yates and he's way cool - he is 6'7 and loves to play ball so this is going to be SWEET! The field is so awesome, yesterday was day 1 and it was seriously the coolest thing. A lot of interesting people that weren't easy to teach but were easy to love. I can tell he's an awesome missionary and that I'll learn a bunch from working with him. He looks for opportunities to serve at every chance we get.

One big thing in our mission is OYM - Open Your Mouth. What
we do is just whenever we see someone we look to strike up a conversation and
even if it doesn't turn into a gospel discussion we try to leave them feeling
good about missionaries and knowing that we would love to come by and pray with
them or share a message or even just serve. It is so cool to just go out and
talk to people all day and just enjoy being around people. We contacted so many
cool people.
One of my last days at the MTC we did an activity where we
went around to the pictures of Christ in one hallway and looked at them as we
read accounts of his earthly ministry from the Bible such as when he walked on
water, taught in the temple as a boy, washed the feet of his disciples and
appeared to Mary after his Ressurection. As we read those accounts and I
considered Christ's life I was so touched by what my savior has done for me. I
want so badly for everyone to feel this joy that I feel as I follow the example
of my savior and as I improve when I make mistakes.
I love you all and I love hearing from each one of
you,
Ate Mais,
