Going 30-40mph on a Bike is Really Fun!!

Hey Everyone!

I hope y'all had a great week! I know that I did! It has been fantastic and I have seen so many great things happen this week.

First off, we were able to meet up with Krysal again and help her to better understand the Atonement and how she can be fully healed through it. It is amazing that we truly can be healed through the Atonement and overcome anything that we are going through in our life.

We also were able to meet with Kristina and she is AWESOME!! She is really studying out the gospel and putting all of her effort into finding out for herself whether or not his is the Church of Jesus Christ. She told us when we were there that she was reading from the Book of Mormon and she didn't want to put it down when she realized that she had a test on a book that she was supposed to read for school.

We also had a lesson with Matthew and Roda and were able to answer some of their questions that they had. Matthew is awesome...especially since he is from Florida! We are actually going to be having dinner with them and going on a run with Matthew in the morning tomorrow. I am so excited to spend more time with such great people! After our lesson with them we were biking back to our apartment and I met this really cool dog which was a Rottweiler/Lab mix. I thought it would be mean but it actually turned out to be really nice and its owner was really nice too. It is always great even if people don't accept to hear our message, they still tell us how much they appreciate what we do and really admire us.

So this week we did A LOT of biking up some really big hills! It was so much fun going down the hills and pushing myself to the max and reaching new physical limits I didn't know that I had! I felt so great at the end of each day!

I know that as we push ourselves and we continue to grow and become stronger in the gospel, we will se so many blessings come from it. I have learned that "it is only after the trial of our faith" that we see the miracles and blessings that God has in store for us. I know that each one of us has a loving Heavenly Father that leads and guides us and knows what is very best for each and everyone of us. As we do what he asks, we are truly blessed! I know that Christ Atoned for all of us and that through Him we truly can be healed and feel of a great peace and joy.

Thank y'all for all of your love and support!

I love and miss y'all!

Love,
Elder Rudd
