Hope you are all doing well!
I am going back to POCATELLO!
I will be serving in the Pocatello Highland Stake. Training a new missionary! No idea who but I will know Tuesday night! It is going to be amazing!
I am really excited for it! I know it won't be easy but I do know that God has prepared a way to help us both through this next couple months. I miss Pocatello!
This last week was pretty good! We have been working hard and teaching as many people as possible and we taught the most lessons this week we have taught together. I know Elder Welling will do great here in Rigby with his new companion.
Last preparation day we went to the Menan Buttes for a hike. It was a great view! The most empty land I have ever seen in my life!

I have enjoyed this past week sharing my testimony of Jesus Christ with those around us. I continue to gain a greater appreciation for His sacrifice, the Atonement.
2 Nephi 2:6-8
6 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.
7 Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.
8 Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who layeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise.
Hebrews 2:9
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Christ suffered so much for us. And I do know that He is risen and He lives today!
I love you all! Hope you have a great week!
Love,

Elder Welling jumping for joy!
These "twinsie shirts" make me laugh! Look closely!
Love my boy!
Elder Murdock who is serving here, his mom Malary and her friend Michelle, found my Elder Rush and delivered him a couple packages for me. They live in Ammon, not too far from where Elder Rush was serving in Rigby. Oh how I love my Idaho Angels!
