Just a little insert from Alesha's letter this week -
This week has been so amazing, We have ran into so many people and taught so many lessons, more than ever before! We've added on about four new investigators within the last week and they are amazing! It's like they where prepared exactly for me ;) [;)] I love when this happens haha. I am extremely greatful though, because I know it's only because of the lords love for me that he blesses me so. Elder Law and I have tried really hard to be much more diligent, as well as patient w/in the last week and it's been paying off. It's super crazy because I'm more in tune with the spirit than I've ever been! Elder Law and I have been teaching in unity, I always know his thoughts, and he knows mine. I've been directed to people through clear promptings, the doctrine I've learned has begun to make sense perfect sense, my knowledge has increased, Everything about this gospel makes perfect sense! God is VERY real, and Jesus Christ is indeed our savior, if only everyone could know that! haha but anyways, I've just been overwhelmed by the spirit lately, i had to share. The last two months have been chalked full of miracles, which by the way, every time heaven touches earth is a miracle... this gospel is a miracle. We have a baptism this weekend as well as next weekend and I'm super excited! I'm going to be performing the confirmation this weekend, and Elder Law will be performing the baptism for the sweetest girl alive, her name is Anna Denney. Next weekend's baptism is for Crystal, she is amazing! but anyways. today is transfer day (I'm staying here for six more weeks at least) and Elder Jorgansen (one of the elders living with us) is being transferred out, so we will have a brand spanking new greenie coming in today, yay! now I won't be near as green...

and one from the home front -
The Lord has really blessed Elder Law and I within the last week (because of our increase in Diligence, I'm sure of it) We found four new investigators and have suddenly been teaching way more lessons than before. We have a baptism this weekend as well as a baptism for next weekend, and I'm way excited! We got the chance to go in and talk with all the youth on Sunday and ask about experiences they've had with sharing the gospel and it was incredible to hear, they had so many sweet stories to share, it made me feel like I completely wasted my whole high school experience! We role played with them, and most of the youth here are excellent missionaries, I was certainly surprised. We have a huge service project coming up in the ward, and we have encouraged all of the youth to invite as many people as they can think of, so that should be a huge opportunity to share the gospel, I'm way stoked! Fishers has become a beautiful town of blooming trees and roses within the last month and it's really amazing to see. There's so many different kind of trees with different colors, some with white peddles, pink, green, purple, they're everywhere, and it makes for a gorgeous display, I'm going to send tons of pictures. The sky here is also equally as impressive, the best way I can describe it is a whole ocean of whales moving in unison... It's beautiful, especially during the rising and falling of the sun, we have the BEST sunsets here, hands down. I don't know if I've told all of you yet, but everyone here loves James Dean, they even have a festival each year where people from all over get together with there muscle cars for a huge car show, watch movies, celebrate his life and what not... that's all I know about it. I found out he's buried in Fairmount, so maybe one day I'll be able to check it out. Fisher's is a pretty diverse town, economically, and culture wise. From CEO's to the average working man, there's subdivisions EVERYWHERE as well as huge houses (or more like Castles) there's a lot of super nice Asians/ Arabians In my neighborhood and they attend a mosque nearby. It's super sweet to see. It feels like it does in the city, without the huge buildings and skyscrapers. It's like Provo with a bumload more trees, It's unlike anywhere I've ever been. I LOVE IT.

LOVE - Elder Jason Anderson
