Among the many difficult moments that a missionary experiences is heeding the Lord's call to serve new people in a new location. Recently the spirit of the Lord called me away to Laurel, MT. So in loving memory of the wonderful experiences that took place, I thought I would share a few of them with you.
One of the more memorable experiences of service was helping fix the sewage/ holding tank at our homeowners place! It was a tough job but with the help of everyone we got the job done relatively fast (roughly 45 minutes).

| I was praying hard that they wouldn't drop me! |
In Addition, I had the opportunity to introduce several people to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and watch them enter into the waters of baptism! Their continued strength and testimony in this latter-day work has been an inspiration for all that know them.

There were also many other random things that will be remembered from my time there such as the following:
 |
| This particular chicken was mauled by a dog. So we took the opportunity to help someone feed their family (The owner's invited us to help) |
 |
| These sunflowers were 6 feet tall and they went on for a mile along the highway as we drove to district meetings once a week. |
I know that as we choose to serve others - friendships are forged, memories are molded, and the Spirit of God is strengthened in our lives. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer; the long awaited Messiah. Lastly, I know that there is GREAT joy in sharing that message with those around us!
