Great Falls is so green! It's really flat here compared to the rest of Montana but not nearly as flat as AZ haha. It has been so nice this week, it's been high 60's all week.
Elder Tucker (my new companion and old Zone Leader) and Elder Porter did an amazing job in this area last transfer. This area has so much potential! We will be seeing a ton of great success this transfer!
Elder Tucker has been a great help in helping me to get to know everyone in the area very quickly. We cover a Ward here in town and a little branch out in Belt. The area is very pretty, the Missouri River runs right through the city.
The Stake President here is amazing, he has a vision and put his diligence into it to make it happen. He has been a Stake President for 6 years and his vision is to spilt the Stake. And I'll tell you, he is going to do it!
I'm exited to be serving here!
"Modern Israel"
Recently in my reading, I have found a scripture which quickly became one of my favorites. It is Christ himself who speaks and I paraphrase "Israel in the last days will be among many and we shall be as a lion among the beast of the forest, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goeth through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
He will make our horns iron and our hoofs brass, and all our enemies shall be cut off, for it is the Lord of the whole earth that doeth it." (1)
He then goes on to quote Isaiah and tells us that "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper." (2)
The Lord has given so many promises to the servants of the Lord in the latter days. Why should we fear or tremble? Why should we be idle or lazy? The God of Israel has placed a might work before us and we cannot fail! Should we not go on in such great a cause?

This is the old, worn out bike that Elder Bredsguard and his companions made like new
for one of the other missionaries. It was in sad shape.
This it the SURPRISE! A newly painted, new tires, refurbished bike for their dear companion.
(He had no idea these guys were working on this! I love it!)
Admin note: I just love these guys!!! Are they too cute or what?
And, what are they making with their paper mache??? LOL
