Week # 10

Hey there familia!

Its been a pretty dang good week! Because Elder Bell's knee has been freaking out, I got a new comp at transfers. Elder Bell is actually still in my zone though so i see him quite often. But i love my new companion, Elder Roundy, so dang cool and a super hard worker. He is from Vegas and has been out for 10 1/2 months.

Elder Roundy and I have gotten a ton done this week, talked to alot of people and got like four new investigators!

We tracked into a kid yesterday who's dad and brother are members but he left the Church, he is like 19 or 20. He said there was things he didnt quite agree with. But at any rate he answered the door with his hair all messed up and his shirt unbuttoned, he was like "oh sorry guys, i was working out"...HA! we could see red marks starting to pop up on his neck...so i guess technically he was working out haha

You trackt into some interesting situations haha.

On that same street we found a guy named Bill, probably in his 60's or so. He believes is God but doesnt think any man could have figured anything out so he doesnt believe in organized religion. But we had an awesome conversation with him and he took a copy of the Book of Mormon and we asked him to read some of it and give us a call. So i guess we will see, we are going to stop by in a couple weeks or so. But i just loved that guy! Bill was so dang cool!

So Korri is still on for this Saturday...and she actually asked me to baptize her... i am humbled and sooooo dang EXCITED! I baptized a ton in the Temple but I have never done the ordinance for someone alive. Its gonna be so sweet!

And Jeff cant be to far behind her, he came by himself to Stake Conference this past Sunday and LOVED it!

It was a broadcasted Stake Conference from Salt Lake to all Washington Stakes as well as Alaska. Elder Holland and President Packer both spoke! So of course Jeff loved it haha.

Ummmm since transfers were last week we now have a new Zone Leader who joined Elder Bates. His name is Elder Hatch, he is actually from Russia...but you definetly cant tell, he lived in California for like 10 years before coming on his mission. Really cool guy!

Well thats the update, the mission is amazing! Its beautiful over here, the work is going good, i feel great...and I am being blessed beyond what I ever thought would happen.

Remember the Church is true, if you know know this for yourself then try it out. The Lord tells us to prove Him, so test it out. The blessings of the Temple are what we eventually want for everyone we teach! Get to it!!! :)

I love you all!
