Rain rain rain... and some nice weather too =]

Hello! ;)

How has everyone been doing? Sounds like Mindy has been meeting some cute boys. Hmm, not quite sure how I feel about that Sis :P Ha ha just teasin, but you do mention to me "cute boys" a lot in your emails. Just keep them at a distance, you know? That's exciting you got to go eat with Jelly man Kelly & fam though! Sounds fun.

So you're going to Capitol Reef! How fun! Have a very enjoyable, safe trip and know that I miss and love you. That's awesome you got to go to Brian & Karmen's too. Send everyone my love :)

This week it rained for like 2 days straight! It was pretty crazy and everything was soaking (including us). We would just run around with our umbrellas everywhere. I feel really bad for the Elders who didn't have a car, they must have been extra soaked. There were also some really beautiful days where it was nice and cool and the weather was just perfect!

Lately we have been struggling soooo much with finding. Ugh. It feels like we are running out of ways to find here. We are praying for miracles though, and really trying to figure out what the Lord wants us to do. We are having a hard time getting anyone to progress. Like I mentioned last week though, we do have this awesome family, M & L, who are looking fairly positive. They were going to come to church this past week, but then they weren't able to make it unfortunately. Please keep praying for them, that miracles will happen in their family.

We had so many meetings this past week, it was crazy! We had a training we gave to some members on how to teach by the Spirit, and that went well. Then the next morning we had ZLC which was awesome. Those are always just a big Spirit fest. It's great to see where the mission is going. Just to let you know how awesome Elder McClatchy is, I'm gonna brag about him :) We were in ZLC talking about different areas in the mission and how they have been performing, and Pres. brought up that E. McClatchy's area has just been doing awesome. He was like, "We all just need to get a little McClatchy in us." HA ha yeah! It was awesome. He told us he's going to have him speak at zone conference so he can tell everyone how to do the Lord's work :P I'm all for that! It's so fun to be able to talk to him each night during call-ins; he really is such an awesome missionary and I'm really excited to learn from him this coming transfer.

Well, what can I say, I'm loving the work! There is no time to think, it's just constantly go and do. Sometimes it feels like you're pushing insanity, but the Spirit definitely "renews" our bodies and helps us give more than we thought we could. It's awesome to be a part of it. I love my family soooo much, you are in my prayers and thoughts every single day (not in a homesick, dwelling on it way; just an I love you more than anything way). Keep living the gospel as you do =] I love you!

love, Elder Andrew Beckett

p.s. This Sat we get to have a mission conference with Elder Neil A. Andersen, and Elder Burns! Woot! I am so so so excited. I'll let you know how it goes this coming week ;) Keep smiling!

p.p.s. Also Dad, I know you mentioned you might have an extra jacket? Well I've been looking around and haven't been able to find mine that I brought. I have no idea where it went if it's gone. I'm still looking, but did you say something about having an extra jacket? Just curious; if this winter is like last winter's, then I will need it. Or I can just get one here... it makes no difference to me, but please just let me know! And, there are members in the ward that go back and forth to UT frequently, and they offered to meet up and bring something or take it there if needed. Just let me know :) LUV YA!
