"We are learning a lot about how to find and relying on the Lord"

Dear Family and Friends,

First off i would like to put a shout out To my dear friends Tanner and rachel (soon to be) Paxman. I hope your wedding goes without problems and that you will ahve a long prosperous life as you journey into the unknown relying on faith on christ to help you through this mortal world as you start your knew family together. May you live an eternal marriage here on this earth. My only advice to you Tanner is Love deeper, and to you rachel respect him. i know that you two will be happy together. i Love you both. wish i could be there physically but my heart goes out to you.

I hope dad has fun on his 50 miler! he will be fine. i remember bishop johns went on a 50 with us and he went really slow but he always made it and he had a great time. a great example of determination. im sure dad will be fine. i really want to go on another 50 miler! i think i would love it. i miss those days of hiking and camping by the lake. so relaxing.

guess what mom i know that the moultens were going there before you and dad knew! haha i met sister moultens sister here in my ward and she called when i was at her house. so i was one of the first ones to find out. there are a lot of connections here. i also met Parker mayberry's biological sister. i cant remember how i found out she was his sister but they went on facebook and found pictures of me on his facebook! haha so it was true.

This last week was actually a lot of fun. we had a competition with the zone leaders who could talk to the most people in an hour. i took them up on it and we beat them. We went to a pow wow that was happening at the park near us and talked to a ton of lamanites! haha and i got to enjoy the cultural dancing. i kinda lucked out that because i couldnt finda anyone. and today i got in a suit and took care of a bee hive.

On the other side we just got a referral for a boy coming from china. he is getting adopted and he needs the gospel. his family is active but the boy only speaks a little mandrin and is fluent in techwea which i have no idea how we are actually going to teach him. but im going to have fun with it. A member of another tribe and no where else would i get to gather from all lost 10 tribes utah is the best for that. And this next sunday is the baptism. Robin wimmer is getting baptized and it is the first investigator that elder lila was a part of from the beginning to the end. so i know how cool this first baptism will be for him. and i really love them both. richard and robin are a great couple funny and great to be around. i hope they dedicate themselves to the gospel because then they will be truely happy. He will get to baptize her on sunday! im glad he wasnt breaking any commandments! haha.

Well the work is going. still very slow here but we are learning a lot about how to find and relying on the lord. he is bringing people to us to teach. Which is probably what he wanted us to learn. his hand is in everything and it is only relying on him that we are even able to find people.

with love Elder Salmon

P.S. mom i could use shoe polish. and when does lexi leave? has she left already? and i want to write a letter to amanda newton! i need an address or email.
