Hey

So we had a sweet week this week. A lot of people we found last week were flakes, which is what was expected. But we're teaching some real solid people and have a bunch of potential in this area.

Transfers are in 2 weeks and I really hope I don't get kicked out. I love this area. We taught a Young Women's class. And it was the young womens president, Sis Godfrey's, birthday, so we went over the day before we taught her class and made cupcakes. It was pretty fun. 

Elder Pearson and Elder Brown baking.

Elder Brown, Whitby, and I just got back from DI and bought some air soft guns. So this week will be fun.

We have a kid getting baptized this upcoming Saturday. He's a cool kid, and the Jenkins family, who are taking him to church, are way tight.  We are going to have an air soft war with all of them.

Nothing too specific happened this week. We stopped teaching the Polygamist. He wasn't progressing and there's a weird feeling whenever we go to the compound to teach him.

Last night we had a first lesson with Steve, a 23 year old who's lived his whole life in the same house in Utah, but just now interested in learning about the church. It's amazing how much that happens. It goes to show you that everyone has their own time and you can't force anything. He also mentioned the great example his neighbors have set for him. He was totally prepared to take the lessons. He accepted a date to be baptized Sept. 11th. That will hopefully be our 2nd baptism that day. The spirit was there and was strong.  The family who's home we had the lesson in did a great job of being there for him. That's what missionary work is about. If someone feels loved from the ward, it'll do wonders with helping them feel the spirit and prepare to be baptized.

We're still working hard. We are continuing to see success, but there are more people out there we still have to find.

Love Yall
