Letter 56 - Shepherding

Hello Everyone!

Elders Bullough and Sanchez

First of all, my address autocorrected and was wrong... I still got a letter from Grandma, but here is the real address:

 6381 Bois D'Arc Rd. Gilmer, TX 75644

Elder Bullough and Jose de Leon

Well, it is official, I am in an English ward now! It is kind of fun! I've only dealt with Spanish branches up to this point in my mission, so getting an English ward is exciting! I am covering the Gilmer 1st Ward. We have to leave our area for Everything haha. We only cover country. Gas stations, grocery stores, laundry mats, the church, etc are all outside of our area. We cover the country land just west of Gilmer. We live with some members who actually live in Kelsey, TX. Kelsey, TX is a Mormon settlement. It was one of the first settlements after the Saints traveled westward towards Salt Lake. Supposedly, a lot of southern members made the trek to Utah and then didn't like it. They didn't like the climate or the geography of Utah. So they traveled back to Kelsey and stayed there. For a long time it was the biggest city in East Texas, but when they built the railroad, it went through Gilmer instead. Kelsey died after that. Everyone left and went back to Utah. Now there are just rich nonmembers living there on these HUGE dairy Farms. Gilmer, however, is very highly populated with Mormons. There are 4 wards here in Gilmer. It isn't that big of a city! We are excited to be here. We were doubled in and replaced Sisters.... So basically everyone hates us haha. They have had Sisters for 5 years. Bishop is excited for us to be here, but we are working on the other members 😂

Here is my week:

Elder Bullough and the Rojas Family

Monday: PDay was kind of depressing... Being in a zone where we could meet every Monday with all 20 of us was lots of fun. Now that I am out east, we are lucky to have 6 missionaries together at the same time. But I am still excited! Here in Gilmer, there are: Elder Bullough, Elder Horn, Sister Lowry, Sister Doutre, Sister Brown, and Sister Stephens. Then there are two other companionships in our district, but they are forever away haha. One set is in Quitman: Elder Christiansen and Elder Rowell. Then the other set is in Sulphur Springs: Sister Bryant and Sister Elder (yes her name is Sister Elder). Anyways, last Monday was my last day in McKinney. We had a lesson with the inactive Rojas Family and we had a powerful lesson on baptism with Lissa. It was hard to say goodbye to that family. We then went and said goodbye to the Patton family. They are just really good friends of ours now. I also got to say goodbye to Jose de Leon! It was great.

Elder Bullough and the Patton Family

Tuesday: I woke up pretty early and finished packing a few small things. Brother Dunn picked us up and drove us down to Allen. Elder Horn, my new companion, was serving there. They had a member from the YSA that was willing to drive Elder Horn and I down to Dallas. So he drove us down to the Mission Office. We sat there basically all morning. We ended up not leaving until 3. We had to wait around for another set of missionaries to drive to the mission office and give us their car... Sorry, not sorry haha. We then made the 2 and a half hour drive out to Gilmer, Texas. We drove to the Members' home that we will be staying with. They live in a house that has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms... It is pretty nuts 😂 They basically sealed off the front part of the house, so we have a bathroom, a bedroom, a room with a couch and a desk in it, and then another room that they converted into a kitchen. So we have a fridge and microwave. It is kinda cool. We ate dinner with them. They are the Shirley family. We had burgers that came from their own cow that they raised. It was SO good. Then we went shopping, and that was basically our day haha we also called members of the ward council to schedule times we could meet them.

Signing the McKinney 6th branch flag

Wednesday: We had district meeting. We all went to the Quitman chapel. I thought it was really great. I really love this new district. There are a lot of really bold and really funny missionaries. We then met up with Sister Lowry and Sister Doutre after lunch. Sister Lowry used to cover the 1st and 3rd ward, but now that we are here, she is only covering the 3rd ward and now is training a new missionary! So we wanted to meet with her to get some background information on the ward members and investigators. It went well. They are really funny haha. Later we met with the 1st counselor in the Bishopric. I feel bad for him. His son was refused missionary service years ago for being too overweight. So his wife got offended and hasn't been to church since... Such a sad circumstance. After that, we met with Bishop Miller. He is AWESOME. He is so excited to have Elders in his ward. He said he had a spiritual confirmation when he heard we were coming that there is a reason we are supposed to be here at this time. It was such a great experience. He gave us lots of referrals and people to go stop by.

Elder Horn

Thursday: Lots of trying to meet people. We ate dinner with the Wadsworth family and had a great lesson afterward about member missionary work. Brother Wadsworth is the 2nd Counselor in the Bishopric. Our only scheduled lesson canceled sadly.

Friday: Lots of calling people again. Because we cover all country, lots of people have gates to their property. So we were trying to call and set up appointments so that we could get in. We were supposed to give a member a blessing and have this handoff lesson with the Sisters, but the member had to cancel. It was sad.

The weird kitchen in the Gilmer Stake center

Saturday: I got sick 😢 luckily not the crazy flu that has been going around, just felt crummy all day long. I felt bad for Elder Horn. He is from Idaho by the way. He just finished his training.

Sunday: We had ward council at 7am. It was so much fun. Hopefully, you could hear the sarcasm in my voice haha. Church was great. We have a part member family named the Walkers. Benny Walker is investigating the church. He is a 6'3" black man and weighs probably between 330 and 360 lbs. He is really goofy though. I love him already haha. He was at church. After church ended, President Perry of the Elders quorum took us on visits with him. We were able to meet some more members and learn more from him about the area and some inactive members. We ended up eating dinner with the Perry family later too. They invited the sisters too because they love them so much haha. It turned out really well though. It was a great dinner and the dinner message was spot on for the kids in the family.

Anyways, I am so excited to be here in Gilmer and to start working hard. Most of the members are really old and retired. It makes things interesting.

I love you all so much. I know that I am about the Lord's work. I love it so much. I know He loves all of His children upon the face of the earth.

Take care,
Elder Bullough

Letter #33 - The Field is White

¡Buenos Dias!

This week was pretty great! I hope each one of you had a great week. Here is my week!

My big pumpkin cookie I made

Monday: PDays are simple here in McKinney, but I love them. We get together as a district and sometimes a zone and just play a bunch of different games. After Pday ended, We went to go visit a new investigator named Kari. She was found while Elder Kraus was on an exchange with Elder McCann. Both of them do not know a ton of spanish, but found 3 new spanish investigators. Kari however, gave them a wrong number and a wrong address. Super sad. We knocked some of the potentials around where we were and then it was time to go home.




Tuesday: We had a really good district meeting. I seriously love this current district so so so much. They are all just so awesome. Later, just finding with little success.

Wednesday: We had a meeting with President Gomez in the branch to talk about the area and get some lists printed with part member families and all of that. The meeting went well. Afterwards, we had a scheduled lesson with Jose de Leon. Once again, he cancelled. We rescheduled for Thursday.

A colorful birthday cake that the Moss family
 made for their daughter's birthday

Thursday: We had a meeting about the Just Serve Program because Elder Kraus is a new missionary. It is kind of a pointless training because most of it is common sense, but that is alright! After that meeting, we had an apartment inspection from a senior couple in the mission. Elder Jones and Sister Jones. They are awesome. Last time I went to the temple, they came with us. I gave them some cookies that I made last week and they said they were delicious and that I should keep making them because they will be a hit. I experimented with a different way to make them. After that, we went to a community service in Downtown McKinney. They were having a bunch of local agencies come in and set up boothes for people to come around and see what agencies are in the community. It was really fun helping set up boothes and tents and unloading people's cars. Our whole district had the opportunity to come at least for a little bit. Later, we went and had a meeting with Hermana Patton from the branch. She was assigned by the Relief Society to put together a current list of our investigators. It went well. Then, Jose de Leon cancelled for the 5th time in a row. We texted him and told him that We cannot keep scheduling our time to find out that he cant meet. We told him that when he really does want to come to church and be baptized, he knows where to find us. We sadly had to drop him. However, we have seen nothing but miracles since!

More from Volunteer McKinney

Friday: We had weekly planning. Friday night, the miracles from dropping Jose de Leon came FLOODING in. We found NINE NEW INVESTIGATORS. With only an hour of street contacting, we were able to make 4 contacts which turned into 9 new investigators! Sandra, Gladys, Ingrid, Mario, Luis, Diego, Ivan, Victor, and Natalia! It was so incredible. Dropping people takes faith, but when you show God that you are ready and willing to use your time in the way that He desires, He pours out blessings upon you.

Saturday: We went on exchanges. I was with Elder Jensen in my own area. Elder Kraus went with Elder Del Angel. Elder Jensen and I had a good day. We did service for 6 hours helping a non member pack and move. Then we found 2 new investigators and set a baptismal date with one of them named Mitzi! Mitzi is not a spanish speaker, so we will be having a hand off lesson next week with the Sisters. Elder Del Angel and Elder Kraus, however, did not have a very good day. Elder Del Angel crashed on his bike 3 times. The last one involving a car. He was taken to the Hospital by Ambulance. They took some XRays. Nothing broken or fractured. It was a miracle. His elbow is really bruised, but that is the extent of his injuries. No bleeding either. His bike however is a little broken. Elder Jensen and I went to the Hospital and switched back with our companions. We waited there for Elder and Sister Wilson from the mission office to come to the hosptial. They picked Elder Kraus and I up and we went to the fire department to pick up the Elders' bikes. By the time we got back to the other Elders' apartment, they had already been released from the hospital and were back in their apartment. It was kind of fun being able to spend some time with the Wilsons. This is their 3rd senior couple mission.

Sunday: We went to church and a former investigator named Ulises Lara showed up with the Moss Family! He stayed all 3 hours and even came to dinner at the Moss' home. He investigated the church 6 months ago but got busy with work and could not come to church anymore. His brother is the branch president in a different stake. His sister is also a member. He told us he would like to be baptized! We are super excited for him. After dinner, we went to Tim Mason's baptism. He is the man I interviewed for baptism last week. It went well. Then we went finding and found another new investigator named Juan Gonzalez. Making a total of 12 new investigators since we dropped Jose de Leon only a few days ago. Miracles are real.

I know that the work I am about is the work of my Father in Heaven. The Field is White already to harvest. God does not want us to waste time. We are meant to seek out the elect and bring them to the waters of baptism. He is hastening His work in these last days. We cannot slow down and wait for those who refuse to make time for the Gospel.

I love y'all so much,
Elder Bullough

Letter # 32 - Trials

Buenas Tardes!

Brandon and Elder Kraus doing what Elders do.

Through these difficult times and many natural disasters, I hope and pray that everyone is safe and sound. I pray that those who y'all may know in the affected areas are safe and well.

Hurricane Harvey has led to many heart broken families here in Dallas. Many families are moving to Dallas to take shelter until they can get back up on their feet. These sure are the Last Days.

Here is my week!

Monday - We drove out to Princeton after PDay ended to try and contact a few potentials out there. Not a ton of luck with doors, but it happens! :)

Tuesday - We did not have district meeting due to interviews with President of Friday. So we went out on bikes. I let Elder Kraus lead. We just stopped at certain hispanic looking houses. We had some good contacts, but not a whole lot of potential. Elder Kraus has a lot of "Greenie Fire"... Meaning he really really wants to knock doors all day everyday and find a million new investigators each day that way... However, every missionary who has been in the field for a bit of time knows there is a better way. I also do not want to break his spirits or energy though, so we knock a lot of doors to make him happy and to make him feel like he is working hard! Which he is. He is a great guy. Tuesday, I also made cookies.

Floating on exchanges

Wednesday - We had our weekly correlation meeting with Hermano Carrasquillo. It went well. Hermano Carrasquillo is an incredible man and really loves his calling. Wednesday night, we had a lesson planned with Jose de Leon, and for the second time in a row, he wasn't there. We called him and he told us that his work load is crazy. He is a mechanic and personally has 20+ cars to fix. He asked us to pray for him and for his wife that their schedules would open up so that they would have time to meet with us. It was good to hear that he still wants to meet with us.

Thursday - We had our weekly planning session. Always takes so long and uses a lot of energy... however, it is always something that needs to get done. After dinner, we did more contacting and bike riding. I have been studying a lot about humility and felt like I needed some help becoming more humble. So that night I prayed that God would help me be more humble. But then some words came out of my mouth that I did not expect, "Please give me trials, that I may be humbled."

Making cookies

Friday - Well, the day started off great! We went to Frisco for interviews with President Dalton. While I was waiting for the rest of my district to arrive, I was simply sitting at the piano messing around with different notes. As I stood up from the piano, a sharp pain went throughout my entire back. I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't even walk without the pain shooting troughout my back. I took it like a man until my interview with President Dalton. The interview went well. He gave me lots of great tips on how to be a better district leader and trainer. After the interview, We called the mission nurses and they told me to go home and rest and take some pain meds. They also told me to ice my back. So that is what I did. The zone Leaders had planned to go on splits friday, so Elder Bair stayed in with me. We had a good time even though I was in bed all evening. Elder McCann and Elder Kraus went out and found 3 new investigators in Spanish! Elder McCann does not even speak Spanish! It was awesome. I was very proud of my son(trainee) Elder Kraus.

Saturday - We were still on exchanges with the zone leaders. My back felt a lot better, but still hurt a lot. It had turned into more of an ache instead of a splitting pain. So what did We decide to do? Go and help a non member move! Maybe it wasn't the best decision, but it was still fun. Then we went to a park and had some studies. A group of 4 girls who were about our age came and sat down with us and started asking questions about our church. They were at the park going around and praying with people. I thought it was a really cool thing they were doing. They didn't have a ton of interest, but we did clear up a lot of false beliefs they thought we had. They then asked to pray for us. We agreed. They felt super sad for our mothers because of how little we get to talk to them, so they prayed for my mom :) It was really nice.

Pday

Sunday - My back was still killing me. Elder Jensen threw up over night, and would be staying home from church, so we thought it would be better if I stayed with him instead of over working my back. So I did. Elder Del Angel and Elder Kraus went to church. Sunday night, we went to the church for a baptismal interview! I got to interview a man named Tim Mason. He has a ton of faith. Super friendly guy. He has been through a lot and has a ton of friends and family in Florida right now. His baptism will be next sunday.

That was my week! My back feels a lot better now. It still kind of aches, but for the most part it feels a lot better. I hope all is well.

With Love,
Elder Bullough

Letter # 31 - The Eye of Faith

¡Buenas Tardes!

First off, I would like everyone to know that I was not affected by Harvey at all. Not even a raindrop. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have been affected by this great disaster.

I had a pretty eventful week. I learned a lot about being a missionary and about being a Leader.

Let's just jump right into my week! (Yes dad, that was for you.)

Monday - We had a lesson with Maurycio about Repentance. It went well. He has a girlfriend and they are getting married next month! Super exciting for him.

Tuesday - We had a really great District Meeting. Sister Hendricks and Elder Del Angel gave great trainings. I love my district so much. We are all super close and get along great. We had a lesson scheduled with Jose De Leon, but he bailed :( He hasn't responded to any of our calls or texts since. Super sad.

Wednesday - We did a lot of finding work.  We found a new investigator named Brittany. She hasn't answered our messages since then either though. It is hard because our area has been half English and Half Spanish for so long, that now since we only cover spanish, we have to do a ton of finding.

Thursday - We did all of our studies and weekly planning. Once we got on bike, Elder Kraus didnt feel well. Dehydration. So we went back to the apartment, got him some water, and let him sleep so we could bike the whole day on Friday. He didn't want to go back to the apartment, but it was what he needed. Bless his heart, he only wants to work hard.

Friday - We continued our finding work! We prayed about a street to go contact on. Once we got there, we found 3 new investigators! A guy named Juan, and then two cousins, Jose and Roberto Juarez. Jose and Roberto have a lot of potential.

Saturday - We went and painted a trailer with our branch for a member. Took us about 4 hours. Later, the branch had an 8 year old baptism. We were asked to go early and fill the font. We weren't planning on staying, but the father that was performing the baptism told me that the brother who was supposed to give the baptism talk could not come. He then asked me to give it 2 minutes before the baptism started! Scariest thing I have done my whole mission. I gave a short simple powerful talk on baptism in Spanish. Maybe 3 minutes. They seemed to appreciate it.

Sunday - We went to church. Testimony meeting went really well. At 8 that night, the Zone Leaders wanted to have a meeting with the 2 district leaders in the zone. They wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. They gave some suggestions on what to train on at District Meetings and how to accomplish our zone goals. It was a good meeting. I love Elders McCann, Bair, and Hansen.

That was basically it for this week. Kind of a boring week.

I love you all and hope this week is amazing!

Love,
Brandon

Letter #30 - "Everyday I Am Less Like a Chump"

Hey Everyone!

I couldn't think of a email subject, so I asked Sister Sterner what I should title it. 

I moved! Here is our new address!

600 S Graves St  #1712 

McKinney, TX 75069

Here is my crazy first week of training and being a district leader:

Monday: We discovered the outcomes of transfers! I would be staying in McKinney, but with a few twists. 1.) I would be training a new missionary. 2.) I would be District Leader. 3.) We would no longer be covering the 8th ward. So we now only cover the North half of the Spanish Branch. It was a lot to take in. We were confused because the member we lived with lives really far away from any of the spanish work... we went home kind of stressed. Elder Huggins was getting super excited to go home.

Tuesday: Transfer day! We drove out to Frisco at 8:30 to be at my meetings for being a trainer! We talked for about an hour about what our purpose is as trainers and how we can make an impact on our trainee's entire mission. After that, we joined the trainees in their trainings. We then got placed with our new companions! My new companion is named Elder Kraus. He is from Brigham City, Utah. He loves computers and reading. He even made his own video game before the mission. He has a really goofy sense of humour and is a really great kid. We had lunch and some more trainings and then drove back to McKinney. We had dinner and then went to our first lesson together with Jose De Leon. It went well. He keeps falling off the face of the planet though. We keep not being able to get ahold of him.

Wednesday: I had my first District Meeting as District Leader. We did a fun get to know you game that i learned in my theater classes in high school. Then I gave a training on unity and how we can be unified as a district this transfer. They all seemed pretty excited for this transfer. That night, we were doing some finding work. We were doing stop bys for potential investigators. We went to one named Maria Campos and set up a return appointment. On our way back to the car, i felt prompted to knock a door down the street, so we went and knocked. No answer. We left a card and went back to the car. As we were sitting in the car looking in our area book for the next potential, we noticed there was another just up the street, so we got out and started walking up the road again. We were passing the house that we left a card on and a truck pulled up and two men got out. We contacted them and found out that one was an inactive member from Honduras! We got his information and told him we would call him to set up an appointment! It was a crazy miracle.

Thursday: We spent most of thursday moving! We moved all of our apartments around. So now i live in an apartment instead of with members. It is kinda a filthy apartment, so we are going to clean it up. We did some facebook work that night.

Friday: We had our weekly correlation meeting with Hermano Carasquillo. It went well. We then did our weekly planning session. That and our studies took most the day. We went out with Hermano Garcia in the evening. I learned a lot of spanish phrases while with him.

Saturday: we woke up and went to go help with a move! It was fun being able to just lift heavy things and sweat haha. Afterwards, i had my first baptismal interview to do as a district leader! It went well! He is an awesome 13 year old. Later, we did more finding work.

Sunday: We had church! None of our investigators came :( that was pretty much the events of our day.

I know this is where the Lord wants me to be. Please seek Him out in daily prayer. He is there, He is listening.

I love you all!

Elder Bullough

Letter #29 - Training District Leader

Hey, Y'all!

Another transfer has come and gone. Come tomorrow, I will be a District Leader, AND I will be training a new missionary. This will be an interesting experience for me! I will not find out my companion until tomorrow. Needless to say, I am extremely nervous and excited for what lays ahead. Sadly, I will no longer be covering the English ward. I will only be working in the Spanish Branch.

Here is my week!

Monday - For PDay, we played lots of signs again. After PDay we did a lot of finding work. Not too exciting.

Tuesday - We had an awesome district meeting. It was Elder Huggins last district meeting of his mission. So we took some pictures of his "funeral" and i even wrote an obituary for him! We had a lesson with Cambrie! She is doing well. We had a good visit and shared a great message with her.

Wednesday - We had a good lesson with Jose de Leon. We taught him the law of Tithing and the Law of Chastity. It went well. Sadly, we will have to push back his baptismal date a little bit. But he is totally prepared.

Thursday - We had another lesson with Cambrie. We brought Brother Harper. He was a great fit. The lesson went great. Cambrie committed to come to church! She also told us that she would like to be baptized in the future, but she still is thinking about it. She is a great girl.

Friday - we had a lesson with Lucina Caballero. We read some Isaiah chapters from the Book of Mormon that she couldn't understand and went over them. She is still reading, but we are unsure if she is praying about it. We are still trying with her. She is a really nice lady though.

Saturday - We went on exchanges. I was in our area with Elder Williams. We had a good time. We did some more yard work for Brother Hays. We spent a few hours there. Besides that, just a whole lot of biking to potentials and former investigators.

Sunday - Church all day! Cambrie came to church! Jose de Leon and Lucina did not :(

This was a good week. I am sad to let the English Ward go. The ward is incredible. I look forward to the new challenges that await me.

Love you all,
Elder Bullough

Letter #28 - Is That Bread?

¡Buenas Tardes!

I had a good week! It was a lot cooler than normal. Clouds and rain almost every day! I loved it! Except for the fact that I was biking through rain haha.

Here is my week!

Monday - During PDay, we had the most fun game of Signs that I have ever played in my life. It was so much fun playing with our whole district. After PDay ended, We went back to the house and Elder Huggins got sick... so he went to bed and I started calling people and setting up appointments.

Tuesday - We had a good district meeting! (Picture Included). A random contact was cleaning out their garage and was throwing out a model train set. It was a really cheap plastic one. Elder Jensen and Gomez Alonso wanted it, so they asked if they could take it. Elder Jensen gave a "Train"ing in district meeting using the model train. It was pretty good. Later that night, we had a lesson with Jose de Leon! We talked about the Word of Wisdom. He has totally been prepared to receive the Gospel. He stopped drinking about a month ago after he had been reading the Book of Mormon more. That was before we even taught him about how drinking was bad! He is an incredible man.

Wednesday - We weekly planned! That night, we had to go and do the Stake President Report because the zone leaders are not even in our stake. Because they are not in our stake, the District Leader does it. So Elder Huggins gave the report to the Stake President. There are lots of great things happening in the stake here.

Thursday - ZONE CONFERENCE! It was so much fun seeing all of these missionaries that I have grown to love and look up to in so many different ways. The main focus of our mission has been tuned into Teaching Repentance and Baptizing Converts. It is such a neat experience to see the Lord working through President Dalton. I am excited to see where he takes our mission. After the Zone Conference, We went straight to dinner and ate homemade pizza with the Moss family. Then we went out to Princeton to try and meet with a referral and a couple of less active families. We did not see a ton of success.

Friday - We had dinner with the Moss family again. Only, this time was a little different... Friday is our car fast day. It is a mission rule. We cannot use the car one day of the week. So we had to get a ride to dinner. Sister Moss did not relay the message to Brother Moss that all four of the Elders were going to be coming to dinner, so he showed up to pick us up for dinner in his small Camry with his son sitting in the back seat in a car seat... We tried to squeeze in, but there was no way that three of us were going to share the back seat with the car seat there. So, I climbed in head first and pinned myself in between the front seats, and the legs of Elder Gomez Alonso and Elder Huggins. It was extremely uncomfortable, but I took it like a champ haha. My head was right next to Brother Moss' son's feet. He was totally passed out. He was holding something in his hand that looked like a roll. I asked Elder Gomez Alonso if it was bread and he said, "No, I think that is play-doh!" and I was like, "Are you sure? It looks a lot like bread.." He then reached over and poked it and said, "Nope, It is bread." While I am typing this, I have no idea why it was so funny in the moment, but it was... Maybe it had to do with the fact that I was very uncomfortable and jammed into a car haha. Oh, and I forgot to mention that almost the whole ride back to the Moss Home, we were following a police man, so I was trying to get as low as I possibly could. After dinner, we went to go visit an older member in the English ward named Sister Colley. She was super sweet. Her husband is not a member and wants nothing to do with the church, but we had a nice visit with Sister Colley. She even told me that she thought one day I would be a Bishop haha.

Saturday - It Poured rain... We were on bike too. We went to a pavilion to get some cover, but it did nothing. It was pouring and the wind was so strong. The wind would just blow the water under the pavilion and get us wet. It was a fun time haha. We also got to go to the adult session of Stake Conference. Elder Hammond, who is an area seventy, attended. It was an incredible conference.

Sunday - We attended Stake Conference. It was a great meeting. The themes seemed to be centered on the family and not being content with fitting in. I learned so much and felt the Spirit in abundance. We tried to contact bishop referrals for the rest of the day.

Well, That was my week! I hope y'all are well and healthy. I know that there is no greater work on the Earth than that of Preaching the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel can help us in all aspects of our lives.

I love you all so much!
Elder Bullough
