Hey family and friends!! Thanks for the email mom!

It sounds like it was a good spring break for everyone back home. I'm glad you got to catch up on some things around the house and that dad and Austin got some good fishing in! Man I miss ice fishing probably the most but its not going anywhere so I'm glad they got to go, even Ash got to catch some!
As missionaries we expect to see miracles everyday and the Lord provides its just up to us to recognize them, look at Mormon 9:19. As I was reading the story I realized how thankful I am for my family; dad is someone who I want to become and an amazing father, Jaxon is someone I can always trust and talk about anything with. Austin is the hardest worker I know and always fun! And my mom is the most faithful person I know and I can't think of one time where she wavered. But I'm grateful for all my family; grandparents, aunts, and uncles, cousins. We truly do have an amazing family and that is a miracle to me!
MY WEEK
This week was amazing for Elder Williams and I. On Wednesday we had a Zone Council and I learned so much! Elder Fletcher said, "the lord can do His work on His own but he allows us to be a part of it. We should strive to be worthy of the Lord's elect." I know without the Lord none of this would be possible but that phrase "to be worthy of the Lords elect" made me think if I was worthy enough. So Thursday I was praying and just asked for a miracle then when I stood up we got a referral from some other Elders which never happens out here in Basin and also got a text from a member that their neighbors want to meet with missionaries again so it was an answer to prayer and we're meeting with them today hopefully so keep us in your prayers! The Lord is so good and I love being a missionary.
We had interviews on Friday and I love them. President and Sister Rasmussen are so kind and motivating for me to just go out there with no fear and accomplish the Lords vision. He told the Lord is expecting great things from Basin so I was a little overwhelmed but then conference happened! Jaxon called it the super bowl for missionaries and its so true! We watched all sessions with the Wells family and they are a really nice couple. I noticed most all of the talks were about our Savior Jesus Christ and his love for us. Another theme I picked up was about letting God prevail and how its up to us to decide. When we are young we can be taught everything but in the end its our own personal choice about letting God prevail. I loved my main guy Elder Holland's talk about how each of us have the right to have peace in our lives! Helped me realize on the bad days I can turn to Christ and find peace.
Another miracle was on Saturday before the afternoon session we went out to Luisa and Osblados. We set up conference so they could watch and then we starting talking about baptism and the mom said she's fine but the two kids said they want to be baptized on April 24 so we're really excited and I can't even imagine how happy Father in Heaven is! They just want to learn more so we are gonna work with them a lot to help them feel ready so keep the prayers up for them.
That was pretty much the highlights for this week, also we did get Norma on a church tour so hopefully she'll want to come next week. Joe is same ole Joe, we did some service for him and he's a really good guy but little by little. Everyone else is doing good and its the middle week of the transfer so I'm gonna start fasting after dinner so we don't fall into the mid transfer slump and I know the Lord will bless us each day! I love you all and pray you are all strengthening your testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ each day, really get to know WHO He is. Have a great week!
P.S. On Saturday I got to move pipe for Brother Wells! Growing up I didn't like it but it brought back a lot of good memories!
Love Elder Reiley
Got to move pipe!
