We are trying to pick up our teaching pool this week. It is down a little bit so we are doing whatever we can to find more out here. We are still set on the date with Destinee this weekend.
There are a few recent converts on base that I am so shocked with their willingness to still come to church even though they are in Basic Training. It was really wild teaching there. My first week there I had to give a talk and honestly the material that I had was about missionary work and the notes that I had down were not what I gave with my talk. I was able to go a whole 15 minutes without hesitation at all so that was fun. I am definitely getting better at that so for that I am proud of myself. In my missionary discussion lesson that I taught, it was all about keeping the commandments and it went really well. There was a recent convert named Private Johnson and he opened up about the struggles that he is having in life and the members and non-members both gave him spiritual advice on how to help him. It was so awesome to see.

“The Lord places no limits on our access to Him. But we, unfortunately, do. We limit ourselves when we sin, when we are lazy spiritually, and when we fail to ask and seek.”

“When you feel hurt, lost, scared, upset, sad, hungry or hopelessly abandoned in life’s extremities, open the Book of Mormon and you will come to know God will never desert us.”

*Small world moment* The young soldier is a friend of Kyle's from Pocatello. They played football together for a few years and ran into each other at sacrament meeting on Fort Sill. Also, Kyle's new companion is from a family that his Uncle Ryan knew when he was on his mission in Sacramento (Rancho Cordova) a few years ago. Pretty cool!
