Hello My Dear Family,
This week has been a pretty good week. I want to share with you a really good scripture that I think would be good to ponder about. This is Jacob 3:1 "But behold, I, Jacob, would speak unto you that are pure in heart. Look unto God with firmness of mind, and pray unto him with exceeding faith, and he will console you in your afflictions, and he will plead your cause, and send down justice upon those who seek your destruction."
Elder Stevenson with Elder Ashton (one of his favorites)
I know that God is looking out for each of us and because God is looking out for each of us, He wants to help us. I have seen God help so many people come unto Him and to improve their lives during my short time that I have been on a mission. I know that He can help you too. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

You may be wondering about the title of my email. Well I just wanted to tell you all that yesterday The Referral Center Missionaries went to Salt Lake City yesterday. It was super awesome. All of us went through The Salt Lake Temple. The entire Temple was absolutely amazing everything in it was so beautiful.

After we had finished going through the temple we got a tour of The Conference Center which was just amazing. The Conference Center had paintings of all of the Apostles as well as the first presidency, which was really really cool. It also had paintings of Apostles who had died as Apostles from the time of Joseph Smith up until the present time. So I was able to see Paintings of some of the past Apostles that I listen to including Marvin J. Ashton.

Something Else that was super awesome was that when we were inside the room where General Conference is held they were practicing on The Tabernacle Organ So we all got to hear The Organ in person. Overall it was a wonderful trip. I think what truly made it amazing was that I got to do it with my best friends in the whole world.
All of us in front of the Salt Lake Temple
We talked with somebody new this week. Her name is Kimberly and she is from Texas. We did introductions with her, and then we talked about God and how He loves us, and because He loves us He blesses us when we do what is right.She told us that she really wants to come closer to God. Something else that was good was talking about how the gospel blesses families. She seems like she really loves her family. So I think it went really well.
I hope that all of you have a great rest of your week and a wonderful upcoming week.
Love,
Elder Stevenson
