"I'm happy and I love this work"

Dear Family and Friends,

Well we had an eventful week. It was a lot of fun and very exciting and also a little stressful. we had some problems in the district that the zone leaders and i had to clear up. a lot of the missionaries are struggling with one thing or another and we just showed our love and support for them and assured them that they are doing what the lord wants them to do. It was a very humbling expereince for me because each of them took place in the form of an interview which started witha  prayer and ended with us giving them a blessing. before going there i can remember just prayer and pleading with the Lord as to what he would have me say and do. and i was really looking for the love i should have for them. i knew if i didn't love them that i wouldnt be able to help them. i wouldnt say that i had the exact words put into my mouth but between the 3 of us we were really able to help each of them out. i never thought i would feel the spirit really strong in that meeting but it was just as strong there as any lesson ive been in. Probably because we were all bearing testimony and sharing scriptures. A very cool experience that i will always remember.

This week i went to dinner and we had Elk Stake! oh man they were good. i recommend them. and we also had rib and other great food. Man thanksgiving though was rough. 4 dinners and 2 dessert houses. i was ready to puke. but i found 1 great item in each house. If i had to combine all the house it would ahve been a great thanksgiving dinner. it was wierd a lot of people took pictures of us. 

So this week was great! we have 3 people on date! yes! for this weekend and next week. s it will be soo much fun geting them baptized. we have a lot of steps and its always a rusha dn super stressful. Danny pham is looking great. he was all excited about livig the commandments and said that keeping each of them should be really easy. his faith was surprising and we had a good laugh.

lily wiggins is all ready for her baptism and the bishop clear Matt lichtie to baptized his daughter. which was very surprising. Sot hose 3 look very solid for this month. we just need to find a few more people to try to get a bpatism on christmas. 

Things are looking up. im happy and i love this work. Merry christmas everybody. 
Love Elder Salmon
