Hey, All you fans of Elder Powers! I know it has been a while since this has been in order but the Powers sisters have resolved to be better. You can expect a weekly post as long as Elder Powers writes us. Enjoy!
Hey family! Thanks mom and dad for your emails they were really uplifting and inspiring :) I love the work so so much. A few days ago Elder Kreiberg and I were teaching a lesson to this girl on her front porch(there wasnt a male home and we didnt have anyone with us) and it was sunny and beautiful outside and it just felt so good to teach the gospel. It wasn't anything overwhelming but just so peaceful. As we were teaching I realized that eventually I won't be able to do this full time anymore and I almost started crying haha there are definitely things that are way hard about being out here ie tiredness, trials and stuff but just being able to share the Gospel and bare my testimony many times throughout the day is something I don't want to end. I have thought recently about going into Gospel teaching and maybe becoming a professor at BYU teaching the Gospel or something like that but I'm not sure! haha I have time to think about that! ANYWAYS, I will write grandma p today for sure. Thats pretty sad that she doesn't remember what I look like but I will send her some pictures!

Awesome to hear that the mulch was so great! I wish I could have been there to help!(sort of) In reality I actually loved those days, they were always such a great experience for the ward to grow and get closer.
A few days ago we walked into a house and they were watching the Utah state game and I looked at the tv to see if I could see Brian Green on the court and he was making a layup in the WAC Championship. Who would have thought one of my best buddies growing up would have been playing for Utah State haha Maybe I'll walk on and replace Jimmer when I get home.
Things are going amazing out here for Elder Kreiberg and I! On Friday we had an amazing lesson with Brandon when we taught him the plan of salvation and he started crying in the lesson. We were teaching him about repentance and how everything he has ever done that he regrets can be totally washed away through Jesus Christ. As we talked about that I asked him how he thought it would feel to be totally clean, and he started to cry and choke up and he just said " That would be amazing" as tears streamed down his cheeks. Way powerful lesson. He's starting to feel the power of the Atonement in his life. As well towards the end Elder Kreiberg and I asked his wife Jenna to bear her testimony about being an eternal family and she started to cry and just said that she wanted it so badly for them and that she knew they could be a forever family. As she said that he was feeling it big time and the Spirit was just exploding in the room. Elder Kreiberg and I walked out of that lesson on cloud nine. Also we picked up a new investigator this week named Kolbe. She is 18 years old and is looking for the truth. We found her as a referral from the Bishop in the ward. he told us that this lady needed a visit and we visited her and than we talked to her granddaughter Kolbe who was interested. We taught her on the porch the next day the Restoration and she felt like it was true. ALSO yesterday we taught her at a members house the Hiltons(where we have the youth nights) about the plan of salvation and it was amazing. Her mom passed away a few years ago and so it was a really sensitive but faith building lesson. She is praying to know if the Book of Mormon is true! Also Aubrey bailed on our lesson on Saturday but we will still try and work with her. ANYWAYS I gotta get running but I love you very much! The Gospel is so true!
Love, Elder powers
