This week has been a great week! It was SUPER awesome to talk to you family!! It was super weird at first, I felt like I was breaking some serious rules when I called cuz it was on my mission phone, the one STRICTLY for mission purposes hah but I got over don't worry:)
As far as what to do for Mothers Day, I am going to ask President Ames about doing an exception with Skype at a members home for Dallin's last call home and cuz the 3 missionary thing. Or something else we could do is a conference call rather than 3 individual phones..
Christmas was super fun! I LOVED all the presents I got! and thank you SO much for them!! The glasses, the ties the sweaters, the gloves, the candy, the posters, the cards EVERYTHING just put the biggest smile on my face! :)
This week has been actually really successful! we did a lot of tracting for sure this week, but luckily we found great success from it! We have been focusing on finding the people whom the Lord would have us find and trying our best to teach each person like that's the one sent from God. We taught 5 other lessons and got 4 new investigators from them! The spirit was really with us with the people that we got to talk to. It was awesome.
There was actually a funny experience that we had the other day. There was a man driving past us when we had stopped for a second to re evaluate our plans. He stopped in the middle of the road and he asked us, " Mormons?" and I replied, " Yes sir!" then he smiled and said simply, " love ya." It was really an uplifting, simple remark, but from a complete stranger it was refreshing and funny.
We taught Kenny again this week. We taught him about the importance and role of prayer expressly. It was a pretty powerful lesson, but he still feels like he needs to investigate other churches. We encouraged him in what he did, and we hope that he will take seriously the quest for finding the true church and do what we've advised him to do as far as reading and praying.
Sadly we weren't able to get in contact with any of our other investigators this week, so theres no real update as far as other names I have mentioned in the past.
But as far as Elder Jacobson and I go we are doing really well and our companionship is growing into more than me training him on how to be a missionary, but to us being more equally yoked in the "cause of the Christians". It has been really interesting what the Lord reveals to each of us and allows for the other to trust the promptings of the spirit and seek confirming revelation. We have strived for unity in all we do and are trying to find better ways to be unified and the Lord has blessed us in our efforts for sure.

We recently read Doctrine and Covenants section 109 and that section is the dedication of the Nauvoo temple and it is AMAZING it is just full of promised blessing from the Prophet Joseph Smith. I read it with more sentimentality cuz me and Tyler took our endowments out in that temple:)
I love you all sooooo freaking much!!
Hurrah for Israel!
