So some highlights from this last week: My companion has 22 days left. So we decided to get some work done. Tuesday we had 2 lessons in a row, and we selected baptismal dates for both young men. Then Thursday we did an exchange, and we taught a few people. One guy really connected with the Elder that came with me, and it was amazing to see him open up and the Spirit was super powerful. Then we taught another guy, the one we went to conference with, and he is working to be baptized in just a couple weeks!

Then on Sunday almost everybody we were teaching came to church! It was great! Then, we had dinner with the Morris family, which were those kids from Missouri! (Family of 7 siblings adopted from Missouri). We are now teaching them, starting tonight, and I love them all so much already! They are super fun, and super excited to follow Jesus Christ. It is a blessing to be able to serve and teach, most of the time I honestly feel like it is me that is getting more from it, it is unbelievable.

Keep reading the Book of Mormon! So much power! I am taking President Nelson’s challenge too! 

Love you all tons!

Madre! So fun to hear you are getting all of those pictures, and a phone call!

Sorry this email is coming so late we went on a district hike today. Up Big Cottonwood Canyon, the Donut Falls Trail. It was a blast. But it took a while. 

I sent Cody an email, hope he gets it! What a great muddy picture of him. Excited to see and hear how basketball goes! 

An update on this week: We worked. Hard. It was incredible to see how General Conference affected so many people. Some people are coming towards the church again after inactivity or not being a member, and others are responding differently. But the Spirit has given me an absolute witness that President Russell M. Nelson is God's prophet on the earth today and with the testimony, and the Book of Mormon, we are boldly and proudly declaring that this is Jesus Christ's church. What an incredible time to be serving the Lord! I love it! 

I love you all, sorry this is kinda brief! 

Love, Elder Adams

This last weekend was incredible. We got to watch all four GeneralConference sessions with someone we are teaching. Here is the rundown, and some funny stories of it all:

Saturday morning we went down to the conference center with a guy who wants to be baptized. Saturday afternoon we watched at a member’s home with a guy we are going to start teaching Tuesday. He has been coming to church for a month, and has read the whole book of Moroni. After that we visited another person we are teaching who also watched General Conference and decided she wants to get baptized now.

Sunday morning we watched with an Area Seventy, and his daughter’s non-member boyfriend. Then, Sunday afternoon we went down to the Conference Center with a gentleman we just started teaching this week. He is from Cape Verde, and was so excited when the temple was announced. It was super exciting! 

So I am now serving the Holladay North and Holladay South Stakes. We are the Midvale zone leaders, which was the first zone I was in. It is actually my dream area, so I was so pumped to get called here! We are teaching so many people. My new companion is Elder Beaman. He is from Virginia. We have actually served around each other last year in the Midvale zone, so it's fun to be back together as zone leaders of our favorite zone! And He goes home Nov 13(transfers) so we are working hard together! He is a great missionary. 

I am loving my mission right now. I Love the Lord, and all of these people I get to serve.

Madre! So good to hear that you guys are so excited for conference! Me too!
This week was kind of a slower week. We worked super hard and are super tired, but had lots of great experiences testifying of the Restoration of Jesus Christ's church. Now, after two quick transfers here in the Big Cottonwood Stake, I am off to another area. It will be super exciting to serve the Lord and all of my brothers and sisters in a new area.

I love reading all that you are up too! It is so awesome! It will be treat to share with you next week all my new adventures in my new area! 

I love you so much Mom! Here are some pictures from this last week! One is Our district, and the others are a young man I have been teaching who will hopefully get baptized this next month! I can't wait to go back for it! 

I love you!
