Let me officially rebuke everyone except mom for not e-mailing this week!
Mom is the best! Everyone else looses!
Love you mom! And for that, she will be getting her own personal e-mail and I will keep the general one brief! Take that!
No just kidding I love you guys :)
This week has been pretty cool!
We have a new solid investigator. Her name is Amanda! She is a tube-red-head. (She has red hair, but it's dyed red hair) We left our apartment after dinner last week and she was walking by. She street contacted us. Yeah. She contacted us on the street. Her best friend is on a mission in Brasil and we walked and talked with her for a sec then simply asked,"Would you like to learn about what your friend is teaching people down there?" She exclaimed,"Actually I would like that!" Elder B and Elder Lund's companion were on exchanges and went and taught her lesson one this week and then I got to go teach her on saturday more about the apostacy and prophets. She had a concern about the apostacy because she's kind of catholic. She said she thought we were still in an apostacy because of all the different religions, but after explaining the apostacy she said,"that totally makes sense!". She is a truth seeker for sure! She works some sunday so she wasn't able to come to church yesterday, but she said she'd love to come with us! She also accepted baptism, but we didn't feel impressed to extend a baptismal date to her yet. She's awesome! Go red heads!
Thanks so much for the package! Holy chips!! haha I love it! Thanks so much for that! It's great cuz my comp is not a huge chip lover, so i don't have to share with him! haha
So I got to go on exchanges with Elder Lund this last week. He's a great kid. Tell the Lund's that their son is a powerful and effective tool in the Lord's hands and it is a pleasure to serve with him. It was fun to be with him, not only to just be with Elder Lund, but also to be with Elder Lund in my old ward! haha it was fun! Good to see old faces, and even better that they haven't forgotten about me! haha
So transfers are coming up! By this time next week I will most likely have a new companion. Elder B has been here for 5 transfers. He has 2 left, so most likely he will be leaving. Some big changes are going to be happening in this zone. We have 24 missionaries in the zone and 3 of them are going home. Only one companionship has been together for only one transfer and all the rest have been together for 2 or 3 which means change is coming! It will be exciting to see what happens. Honestly it needs to happen at this point. Every missionary brings a different flavor to an area, but after time, that flavor starts to wear out and it's time for new ideas and new minds. It will be interesting to see what happens!
Ok so I have to tell you about his guy we taught on saturday. We decided to go tract, first door, this guy answers in just a towl and says,"I'm in a towell I'll be right back!" he comes back and invites us in! He's crazy! haha he's totally way nice and cool for the most part, but he's crazy! haha I told him the first vision and asked him what he thought about it, then he told us about this crazy dream he had where he saw demons and woke up and there were demons in his house and he yelled,"Honey look out!!" and grabbed a gun by his bed and was about to shoot at these "demons" but then they disappeared. Then he was talking about Polygamy and said,"so like what do you guys think about polygamy? Like I love my wife to death, but hey, she's got some pretty cute friends! I wouldn't mind if they brought back polygamy! it's just human nature!" haha he's so crazy!!! If it helps you understand, when we got in and sat down there were beer cans and bongs everywhere haha. He was way funny and crazy but just one of the nicest guys too! He gave us a hug before we left and was like I"m guna call you guys!! haha so crazy!
So you'll never guess who I heard from! Austin Anderson! He hit me up on this e-mail! Haha he said he's been hittin me up on facebook for a while but I haven't responded, so I'm gunna have to tell him I can't do that, but it was way cool to hear from him! He's back in Utah! I'm stoked to see that kid again. He's going to be one of the first people I share the gospel with when I get home. I'm excited about that!
I wrote ken colledge today, and hey did my letter for Grandma Keyes make it? I sent it little over a week ago? Hopefully
Alright you guys! I love you all! I miss the shiz outa you! (shiz is a person from the BOM.)
