Every member a missionary

This week was a great week. We are trying to work with the members of the ward a lot more. We had a meeting with our ward mission leader and we are trying to figure out how we can get the members more excited to do missionary work. We are going to try to be in members homes a lot more teaching them the lessons so they have sharing the gospel on their minds more. We have had a couple of new visits with members already, and we are hoping to see a lot of miracles by working this way.

We are still working with Wes, and he is doing really well! He is still preparing to be baptized on November 15th, and then in a year his family will be able to go to the Temple to be sealed for eternity! They are such an awesome family, and I am so grateful we have the chance to work with him!

We went on an awesome hike today. We hiked up to a place called Brandy Creek Falls. There were a couple of different pools of water and some pretty sweet waterfalls! I really enjoyed it, and we were able to run back down the trail so it was just like running trail back in Utah for cross country! We also got some really cool pictures on what is called the Sundial bridge. It is a huge suspension bridge in Redding that they light up during the night, and it looks sweet!

Our ward had their chili cook off this week, and Elder Page and I were the judges. Our ward mission leader entered the contest and he wasn't too happy with how the results turned out. He has been teasing us a bit for the past couple days about how we don't know what good chili is. Hahaha! I don't think I do know what it is, but it was a lot of fun!

I love you all, and I hope you have an amazing week!
