Hey yall,

This week was a pretty good week. We stayed pretty busy doing service some mornings and doing teaching other times during the day and also trying to do some finding. I think that is still the struggle so far. We have been teaching youth lessons and that has been going pretty good, i like helping the youth with their missionary work and also helping them with a better understanding of the gospel and what we teach as missionaries. I knew when i first came out i was confused and really worried about what i would be teaching as a missionary so i would have loved the missionaries to come over. So i hope that it is helpful to some of the youth.

We set a baptismal date for one of our investigators! It was awesome because we took her on a church tour with a member and it went really well! It was great to have the member there add his testimony and share things that were special to him. It really set the tone for a spiritual tour. She even told us that she could feel the spirit as we were standing in the chapel. It was great! We don't have a baptismal font so we could not show that to her which was a little disappointing but she still wants to get baptized!

And we did service for on of our investigators and that was really fun as well. I like when i can show our " normal " side to investigators to show them we are still not perfect or holy. But we are doing our best and trying to help others do the same. I think it also is less intimidating for some people.

This week i have interviews with our mission president and i am excited for that! He is a great man who i admire so much and want to become like so i am glad i will get to meet with him. I wish we met with him more! Sometimes i feel like i never see him! its been about six weeks since i have seen him so yeah feels like a long time.

Anyway hope yall have a great week!

love
