Zone Conference & A Fireside

A busy week...

 

Hi Mom & Dad!

Yes I got the Seattle Seahawks beanie that you sent me.  I love it haha it is awesome.  I wore it to our preparation day activity last week.  A lady in the Ward gave us all Seahawk shirts too which is way nice.  They are all XL so I kinda look like a little kid in my dads shirt but I am still stoked about it.

So this week was pretty strange.  We got a call a few days ago from President Weaver.  A missionary went home, so they had to take one of the Elders in Lincoln Ward and move him somewhere else and to replace him they took Elder Harward from us and put him in Lincoln Ward.  So now we are in a threesome.   We all get along well  so we are down with the three of us.  It makes knocking doors kind of weird too because there are all three of us on the doorstep haha.

On Wednesday right before Harward left we had a lesson with Mike and President Weaver came.  It went really well but he isn't on date yet . He is super receptive and likes talking to us and is progressing pretty well- he is just kind of slow and steady.  We are meeting with him tomorrow and probably are going to teach the plan of salvation so I hope it goes well.

 

On Thursday we had Zone conference and it was the most uplifting zone conference I have ever been to.  Elder Kleine and I took a group of people on a mock church tour and it was a really cool experience for me.  I said the first vision, which I have said a hundred times, and I felt the spirit so strong . I just love that the spirit will testify over and over again of it to me.

Also, to end the week we had another fireside over in Lacey.  It was awesome to be back in Lacey for a little bit . Back to my old stomping grounds!  I saw Elder Geddes and I got to talk to Elder Anderson a lot too.  I love both of those guys so much!  It was a really good fireside as well.  It has just been a really uplifting week - but also a little bit slow work wise. We have had a hard time this week finding new people to teach and we have some people right now that are solid but won't get baptized for a little while so we are going to have to do some hard finding this week.

 

Yes, we do have the burning tradition here. I was supposed to burn a tie at my 6 month but I forgot, so maybe I will just burn it with my shirt at my one year anniversary.  Speaking of clothes, I decided that I am going to buy a gray H&M suit.  They are way cheap and look way good and I already have the pant for it so I just need to buy the jacket.  It will probably be the last thing I buy for a while.  But at the beginning of next transfer I am planing on that.

 

Thanks for all your prayers!

 

Love you!
