Happy Mother's Day everyone! I had a great Sunday doing that! How was your week? Anything cool or exciting happen? 

 We had an awesome Zone Meeting, all the missionaries in the zone got together and the Sister Training Leaders and us, the Zone Leaders, taught the missionaries. During that we were also having interviews with President Stoker. We're getting a new Mission President soon. It's pretty weird. Elder Poe is getting transferred, and I'm getting a new companion, Elder Wattenburger. He's a pretty awesome Elder. I've been on exchange with him before. This transfer should be a good one! 

 It's been fun this week. Lots of cool stuff coming up Elder Rasband  is coming to the New Hampshire Manchester Mission, and we are having a Mission Conference. That should be awesome! 

 I'm doing well, just so you know! Thanks for all the support! God loves us and is our literal Father in Heaven. If you ever need guidance or need someone to vent to or just need someone to help you, go to Him. Pray to him, He will answer your prayers, He will guide you. He loves you, I know it! Of this I promise and testify, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

 So this week was awesome, we went back to somewhere I haven't been in a long time, the Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial! That was awesome! We took a couple of investigators down there, and the Spirit felt there was so great. It was so peaceful. All the senior couples that
were there have ended their missions and gone home, so it was a bunch of bright smiling faces who had no idea that I had served there! Haha! It was way cool!
 Other than that, it was a normal missionary week! It was awesome, tomorrow I'll be 20. That's weird. We have interviews with our mission President on top of that! Pretty crazy! Here are some pictures! Have an awesome week, sorry this is short!
 I know the Book of Mormon is true, God loves us and sent His Son, Jesus Christ to perform the Atonement so that we could live forever with them! I know it! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Talk to you next week!

 I was just looking at that, it seems like I'm not emailing very many people anymore. Whoops. If they notice I'm sure they'll tell my Mom and she'll let me know!
 Anything cool happen this week? For me this week just flew by. We Had an exchange with the Assistants to the President, that was a blast. We saw so many miracles. The Zone we cover has just seen so many miracles this week. Like holy cow, it's been incredible! My companion had a birthday and is now 20. He kept telling people that he's a score old. (Score is a non-numerical equivalent of twenty). We had some service and were at this house that we helped paint at and clean up a little, that was pretty cool. If you didn't know missionaries love to do service!
 I feel like I've done loads of stuff, I just either can't remember them when it comes time to email or write in my journal that night, or its just some of the same old stuff that isn't really exciting at all. I don't even know! Oh well.
 I feel like I've written over the course of my mission about experiences I've had and cool things that have happened, and I just don't have much left to write. I've been on my mission for a while.
Weird to think about, but it's true. I'll be 20 in May, and I'll be home in September. Seems like forever away, but it's really just around the corner. Pretty crazy how time goes right?
 I know God loves us and that He has sent His son Jesus Christ to set the example for us. I know the Savior of the World, loves each of us. His Gospel is once again on the Earth in its fullness! He wants each of us to partake of the blessings that He has in sort for us. All we
have to do is trust Him, follow what He has asked us to do, and live so that we can see His smiling face once more. I know He loves you. I know it! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Have a great week!

 Well, this week was a blur. It was awesome though. Went on exchange, went and tore down some peoples walls! Literally. We went and broke down some of the dry wall at this guy's house because he is renovating it. It was way fun. 

 Funny story about them. It's a couple that are engaged, and she came up to us at Walmart and asked us about where the church was and what time it started and everything. We were shocked! No one ever does that! Turns out she is a Member who hasn't been to church in a while! So, we went over and started helping at their house. First we painted and took the carpet out of the upstairs, and then later, when we had four elders due to exchange, broke down some walls in the basement! Woo! That was awesome. 

 This morning we went on an awesome hike. It's all pretty great! I'm doing well and I'm loving it here! Have a great week everyone! I know the church is true! Have an awesome week!

 Woah! Sorry this is getting out so late! How's the week been? Mine's been awesome. We had exchanges, MLC, Stake Conference, lots of stuff. It was pretty awesome. First off, right after P-day last week we drove down to Manchester, NH. Stayed the night and then had our
MLC. A monthly meeting with all the Zone Leaders, Sister Training Leaders, the Assistants to the President, and President and Sister Stoker. It was pretty fun we discussed a lot of stuff, talking about how the work is going and several other things. We received trainings
on how to be better missionaries and leaders and a few other things. It was awesome. That took all day Tuesday.
 Then Wednesday we had our usual District Meeting, then went on exchange. I went with one elder and Elder Poe went with another. That was pretty fun. I love going on exchanges, you learn so much when you work with other Elders. Some stuff that is way obvious and you're just
sitting there thinking, why didn't I think of that? That also went into Thursday.
 So Friday, when Elder Poe and I are back to working together, we had an awesome Weekly Planning session, planned for our upcoming week, then we worked. It was awesome, we saw an amazing miracle. We were going to visit an investigator, who didn't have a male over 18 in the house, so we couldn't go in, since she was a single woman. So we tried a member, an hour or so earlier, who lived a couple of houses down, and they weren't home. We went back to the car, drove around talking to a few other people we needed too, then went back. When we got back, the members still weren't home, so we prayed very specifically that they would come home between the time we left our car, and got to the door. After we prayed we walked for the door. We got all the way to the door, and started explaining to the investigator, that we couldn't
come in, right as the member who lived two doors down pulled into his driveway. We ran over and asked him if he could come with us to teach the investigator, he said yes! We had an awesome lesson, and saw the Hand of the Lord that day! I know God answers prayers, that was awesome!
 Saturday and Sunday were the sessions of stake conference, and I learned so much! It was way cool. Plus I saw several people from the South Royalton Ward where I had started my mission! That was awesome!
 Just finished playing some games with some other elders and sisters, it was pretty fun! That, by the way, is why I'm emailing late.
Anyways, that was my week! Have a great week! You are awesome!

 Wow that was awesome! General Conference was so cool! I loved it all! Were there any talks that you particularly enjoyed? I can't pick a favorite, they were all just awesome.

 I don't have much to say this week, just that I'm loving it back here in Vermont. I'm in a city, who'd have thought? I've been in the sticks most of my mission, then here. We have a Walmart! Woo! I love this so much!

 I just wanted to bear my testimony that when you go to General Conference with a question, or when you read the Book of Mormon with a question, or when you pray and ask a specific question, Heavenly Father will answer you. It is always in His own time, and in His own way, but He will answer. I've seen that, especially in this past General Conference. I thought about a question half way through someones talk, and they immediately answered it. I was dumb struck and started quickly taking notes to make sure I had my answer written down! That was awesome! I know it works! Have a great week!

Well, I'm being transferred. I'm going to Vermont. Somewhere in the Montpelier area. I'll be a Zone Leader. So I'll be over a zone of missionaries. The smallest unit in missions is the missionary companionship, then a District, which is usually several sets of missionaries. Then a Zone, which covers a few districts, then the Mission. That should be fun. 

 This week has been pretty good for me. We had an awesome Zone Conference and then had an exchange with a couple of our Zone Leaders. Zone Conference was just, awesome. As always, I have a hard time leaving. The Spirit you feel around so many missionaries, is just incredible. I learned a lot. One of the things that I learned, oddly, is that missions come to an end. The sister missionaries that came out with me are going home, several of them were at the Zone Conference. One of the things that our Mission president has us do, is bear our testimonies about our "Golden Truth" something we've learned over the course of our missions that will change who we are forever. Well, when these Sisters got up to bear their testimonies, the Spirit taught me, that we don't have forever. We are called to a work, whether on missions or in our lives that we won't always be able to accomplish. They do come to an end. Missions are hard, but they are wonderful. We on this Earth have been called to a work. I know that God loves each of us. I know that Jesus is the Christ, that He lives today. That He died and lived, and lives, for us. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet. That he was called of God to perform the work he was to do in this life. I know the Book of Mormon is true. If you have any doubts of this, or of whether or not you are on the right track in life, ask God. He'll tell you. He is our Loving Heavenly Father. He wants us all to return to Him. Everyone of us. I know that that is true. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 

 

 Have a wonderful week! I'm excited for the next adventure! 

Love, Elder Adams
