Hello family! Thank you all for the emails as always! So I have a lot to tell everyone! So today is the last day of my 3rd transfer and yesterday Elder Kozak was released and went and hung out with some friends and a recent convert we had. Wow, this transfer was NUTS. Did you know a pack of 30 Ramen's is only 4 bucks? Anyway, we still were able to baptize A. J.! This kid is THE MAN. I love him so much and feel like I have made a best friend with him. Also, M. is still a little nervous about being baptized because of what his family is going to think but he says he knows he needs to be baptized because it's right for him. I love how faithful he is! I think he is going to be baptized on Friday. The Lord blesses us with baptisms when He trusts us to take care of His children and as we work hard. I love that.

So there are some big changes happening at Weber State. Because most people are going home for the summer, the work there goes down a ton and so they are combining Weber State with another area...Sadly this means I am being transferred and some other missionaries are picking up Weber State, BUT I am so excited about where I am going next! I am moving up to Brigham City tomorrow and will be serving with another awesome guy named Elder Hernandez. He is my trainer's trainer (aka Elder Dill's trainer) and so I'm way excited to serve with him! Elder Hernandez just got released from being an AP on Wednesday and is going to Brigham with me to finish his mission. We are white washing the area (two new missionaries) up in Brigham City and so we will basically be starting from scratch. I talked to Elder Hernandez on the phone this morning and I told him I wanted to work my guts out this transfer and he was like, "That's just what I was going to say!" Haha, I'm so excited! He is an awesome missionary and I am excited to learn from another really seasoned, hard working missionary! We are going back to riding bikes up there and so it's going to be great to put some miles on my bike! Well, I gotta get going because I'm running behind but I know the Lord is blessing me so much. I love the Gospel so much and I'm learning a ton! ALMA 26:22 is my motto for this transfer! If we are diligent we can bring thousands of souls unto repentance! Our sphere of influence is huge don't forget that! I love you all and thanks for all the support! Love, Elder Powers
