Hey how are you guys doing?
Well another week gone and by... i can't believe that. Its been an fun week. We got alot done this week and had some amazing lessons with our investigators and we should be having about 3 baptisms in the next month or 2. Elder packer came which was really good for the first little bit, but he had a very monotone voice so by the time his wrap up came i was spacing out pretty bad. It was really good though i learned alot and i used alot of what he said for my talk this last sunday. That was quite the experience... i was the last speaker so i had to cover for what time didn't get used. The youth speaker and my companion i think used 12 minutes between the both of them. When he sat down i was like holy cow thanks for taking a little bit of time. He said i took 10 min. Then i said you were suppose to take 15, he said oh well have fun with it. So i ended up with the rest of the time which was about 25 minutes. I used all the time and didn't end up early or late just perfect. I talked about small and simple things and how that applys to missionary work. A little different then what most people usually talk about when they talk on missionary work. Everybody said it was pretty good so i was ok with that. Oh yeah i'm staying another transfer if you were wondering. I got the phone call last night and i'm ok with it, but my companion is starting to get on my nerves. I really don't like it when people follow me around and thats basically what he does, from room to room. He eats when i do he goes to bed if i do early. Starting to get on my nerves. It will be nice to have just some alone time when i get home when i don't have to worry about anybody else. We had some amazing lessons this week too. Yesterdays was awesome, we took a member with us over to one of our baptismal cannidates and they instantly clicked and were talking more to each other then to us, which was an amazing thing. The lessons went good and she commited to come to church to sit with the member and get a ride from her. If everything goes right she will be baptized on the 19th. We also should have a baptism on the 5th, if he comes to church. Hes been saying he will but doesn't so i don't know if it will happen. Then we have one set for in december. Thats about all the new stuff for this week. I'm doing good. Excited for this next transfer alot of good stuff is going to happen and i'm glad i'm here for it. The ward is doing better. Don't know about thanksgiving yet. Halloween i have no idea either well see what happens... Its pday so we wont get anything done because we can't really go out unless we have appointments. So yeah i'll let you know more next week. Heres the picture of my district after our district meeting. I did a big obedience district meeting and i was getting creative so i had them do like captain moroni and rip shirts, and promise to be obedient and write on them. It went good and was alot of fun.
Love y'all
