Dear Family,

Aw Ryan looks so missionary like! Oh man. Missions are the best. He'll have a blast. I will try and shoot him an email.

Yes Sis Roseman and I email every week. I love her. :) Tell Jana that I got both of the packages and tell her thank you for me. I am super behind on my writing thank you letters and such. I will repent.

Glad to hear that you thought conference rocked. I loved it as well. Can I get a whole bunch of ensigns like you did last conference? That was MUCH appreciated. :)

Well this week was transfer week...and I got a new companion!!! Her name is Sister McCauley and she is from Ogden Utah as well. She is super cool. We're both very similar and we were really well together. I was very thankful to be placed with her. :) I am still in Holmes Lake and it's still good. So I had the coolest experience ever yesterday. So we were doing a scripture study with one of the members in our ward because she struggles with reading and so we are helping her with the BOM. Anyway we're reading and we get a phone call from a Brother Spilker in our ward. I pick up the phone and he was like "Hey I feel like I need to give you a blessing. Would you like a blessing?" So it has been a rough couple of weeks just crazy stuff going on and I can't really describe to you how I was feeling. In the back of my mind I was thinking I probably should get a blessing but I don't know who from and then I forgot and haven't thought about it. So I was of course very happy to accept. Needless to say the blessing was incredible. It hit on EVERY single concern that had been weighing on my mind for the past month. I have never felt so loved in my life from my Heavenly Father. Words cannot do justice the sacred experience I had. Afterwards he gave me a piece of paper and he asked me to write down what I felt, what I remembered, what stuck out to me, and etc... and then he told me what stuck out to him while he was giving me the blessing and then asked his wife what stuck out to her and then asked my companion what stuck out to her. It was really cool. :) I can now testify that our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ really know our thoughts and are mindful of us. One of the most fundamental things we know. God is our loving Heavenly Father and we are His children. But yeah. I'm feeling MUCH better and a lot more at peace. :)  I am so thankful Bro Spilker was so willing to follow this prompting. He said that he had had it a couple of weeks ago but ignored it and yesterday the thought just would not leave him. He was like the Spirit is a nagger sometimes. haha :) It made me laugh. Other than that we just did the usual missionary thing this week. Knocked on some doors, taught some people about Jesus Christ, played battleship with some members at a dinner appointment. (I won) You know missionary stuff. :) Enjoy Spring Break!

Love ya'll
