This week has been excellent! We have seen so many miracles! I don't ever want to stop serving the Lord.

Probably the best experience from this last week was on Thursday. A recent high school graduate invited us over to meet his 2 friends. Both just graduated with him, and both have wanted to be baptized since they were 12. Their parents had them wait until they were 18 years old. So now we are helping these boys get baptized before July 23, which is the day their friend leaves for his mission to Mexico and I get transferred... It is awesome to see the people the Lord has prepared!

On Friday, we met a young girl who has been closed off to missionaries about the gospel, but opened up to us, asked questions, and is praying about when she should be baptized. 

We cover a branch for Veterans and haven't been able to visit them at all. The branch president called us unexpectedly, picked us up, and we had a chance to minister to them all.

Almost every day these last 2 weeks we have received a text or all from someone, with a referral for someone who wants to take the lessons and/or be baptized. It’s unbelievable to see the Lord hastening His work.

We are teaching so many people, including several families and individuals. Please pray that their hearts will soften or remain soft to the gospel. This is truly a blessed area and blessed people.

I love my Brother Jesus Christ so much. I have truly come to know Him every day stronger and stronger. I know that His Atoning Sacrifice is real and will help all of us.

I love you all so much! I pray for you daily.

Dad, it was great to talk to you on Father's Day as well!

For starters, I am in the Salt lake Valley still. I am on the East Bench, in a 4 stake area. We cover the Parleys, Foothill, Hillside, and Bonneville Stakes. It is awesome! I was released as a zone leader and all other leadership, President Hillier just told us all to work hard this last transfer, and not worry about anything else.

On Saturday I got to go to Jordan and Tesia Wagstaff's temple sealing. It was one of the highlights of my mission, seeing them sealed for Time and All Eternity. 

Today for p-day, we went to the Salt Lake City Temple. What a beautiful opportunity to be in the house of the Lord. 

I am very grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I love Him and am so grateful for His Atonement. 

I Love you Dad! Thanks for being a truly great example for me.

Dear Madre,

I have heard from Tesia! I am so excited for her and Jordan! My joy cannot be put into words. It's amazing. I should hopefully be able to go. 

So it turns out, I am getting transferred. It'll be incredible these last six weeks to just focus on the work, and make it happen. I am very excited. The Lord has some great things in store for my last transfer. 

I'll send coach Limpf a reminder email for sure! Then, I'll keep you posted as he responds. Exciting job for Kasey, good things coming for SUU 😉.

So this week we had a chance to go on 3 exchanges in a row with Elders our mission and zone. There is so much work to be done here in Salt Lake City! There are dozens of people I met just in those 3 days that are thirsting for the truth! And we have it! I have received some very clear guidance from our Father in Heaven about what I am to do these last 6 weeks, and I am thrilled to work harder than ever before. 

Elder Krogh and I have enjoyed being companions. Today at Wal-Mart we decided to get matching shirts that represent our time together as Zone Dads.(See pics below).

Haha, we have worked so hard this transfer, and absolutely turned this area around. There are so many people that will be baptized! 

Well, busy evening planned, then I'll find out where I am headed. I have a slight idea, so we'll see what happens. Regardless, know I am doing the Lord's work, and He is pouring the Spirit upon His children in Salt Lake City. They will all be getting that truth they seek this week and on. 

I love you Mom!

Mom! Super fun to hear about the track teams and how they did, that is so awesome for Mason! And Michael as well! A track update from me, I'm obviously still out of shape, but I threw down an even paced, 80 a lap, 5:19 mile today. It felt amazing. It wasn't too hard either. 

This last week has been great. It absolutely flew by, faster than any other week before. 

Monday we helped one of the wards at their FHE, they went out visiting "lost sheep" and we helped them contact lots of people. 

Tuesday we walked tons of miles, and got soaking wet due to tons of rain. We saw some miracles though, running into some people who the Lord placed in our path.

Wednesday we just kept knocking doors…..

Dear Madre, 

It's been a great week to be a missionary. We preached, taught and baptized!

On Saturday Samantha got baptized! It was an awesome service. On Sunday she got confirmed, and then she bore her testimony in sacrament meeting. She is converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

We also had some cool miracles throughout the week. One was Sunday night. We were with a member out visiting some potential people to teach. We were driving from one home to another, and felt prompted to visit someone we haven't caught home in a while. We pulled up right when he got home. Up we went in and taught him, it was awesome!

Well, I'm slim on time today. I love you all!
