Never say never

Hello all loved ones back home. I sure do love you all. I miss you like crazy. 

We had a very interesting week. Last Monday we are able to go to the motor speedway in Charlotte.  We were able to go around the track in a tour bus... it was a blast. I have many pictures I will send. 

I learned a lot of true doctrine about the track and we met some really fun people there!  Also, we had the district there and some others. For the most part I have come to know that NASCAR is still crazy. 

I went on an exchange with an Elder. His name is Cal Christiansen he is from Altamont, Utah. He's an all-star basketball player!  Superquick on his toes and super swagy! I had a very spiritual experience when we were on exchange.  We went to a Book of Mormon study class and while there we are talking about General Conference and when I was speaking of the things I learned I felt true confirmation from the Spirit of the things I talked about. I love God. God is good all the time. We went down to Charlotte had interviews with President it was wonderful but it was great to see the progress that I have had during my mission. President Alexandria is so wonderful you truly shares his love with all of us through his experiences and his love for Christ. He has invited me to pray and study the doctrine of Christ to have it embedded in my heart.  He also asked me to truly be converted by Christ. 

We met this less active James. This guy was straight crazy! He told us that the American people have alliances with over seven different aliens and that some of them live among us. He told us that he found this out through a friend that told him about it in a hotel. He also talked about the government not letting us do certain things but we don't really know. I felt super bad but I know that James will find truth after this life.  Elder Hatch and I tried to keep it together we were laughing pretty hard after...I kind of feel bad for him. 

We met this guy Ed. He used to be a member well I guess he still is but his testimony is gone.  He talked about science and how it makes more sense but it's black after this life complete darkness no continue on.  I thought that was very sad and I wish he could find out about the plan of salvation actually have the doctrine of Christ embedded in his heart. I know that God works through the Holy Ghost and by having experiences My testimonies grows. I may not know all things matter-of-factly... I don't know but a little; however; I've had experiences that help me understand that God is there. God blesses me and he wants me to be with Him again. Thank you all so much for your inspiring letters in boxes! I am eternally grateful for the love I received from each one of you. I think and pray for you all each day. I can't wait for the day that we will all be reunited again at the glorious second coming of our savior! Love y'all so much. Keep on kicking Sent from my Liahona
