Dear family and friends,

This week was a killer week, it was amazing!

Monday was great we had a great preparation day and talked to a few awesome people!

Tuesday we this amazing lesson with his couple we found on Monday! And the husband really wants to find a family centered church! So we are excited to see where they go! And he said he just couldn't wait to read from the Book of Mormon! Then we had brother coots come out with us and we had a super cool lesson with this lady and we were able to set a baptismal date with her! We also were able to have another lesson with this other lady we are now teaching!

Wednesday we did weekly planing! Then we went out searching for those God has been preparing! We were able to have a super great lesson with our most progressing baptismal date! She is super awesome! She was excited to come to church! Then we had dinner at brother wrotens! He is so funny! I love that guy! He made us his specialty pizza! I just love his pizza! Then we ended the night visiting with Dustin.

Thursday we had a lot of fun at service at the audobon state park!

Then we had a great visit with a less active! Then we had dinner at the coolies! They are awesome! They took us to a Mexican restaurant!

Friday: we had zone conference! And this was my last zone conference of my mission! It was super sad! But we received great training from president brough, the assistants to the president and the zone leaders! It was super awesome! Then we had the relief society from our branch they made us lunch! Then I had to get up and bare my testimony because I am going to be going home soon.... So that was super awesome getting to hear the others bear theirs but it was also a very sad moment seeing them up there realizing that we are all coming to the end! Then when we got back we went biking! And we found this super awesome couple! They said that right before we had gotten to talk to them they had just said they needed to get back to church! And right before we talked to them I was trying to figure out which way to go and I was following the spirit and not really knowing where I was going for the moment I caught them in the corner of my eye and I got the feeling I needed to talk to them! So I did the president brough move the hook swoop and dive on my bike! And talked to them! And they were so glad that we stopped and talked to them! It was amazing to see the spirit lead us to them! Then we contacted this lady and she goes I'm wicken! And she proceeded to tell us all about it!

Saturday we had a good day, we spent most of it biking! We had a great lesson with a lady we had contacted on the street and we set a baptismal date with her! Then I felt like we needed to try this one lady and she opened the door and was so glad we came by and we set up an appointment for us to come and teach her! I'm excited for that lesson! Then we spent the rest of the day biking trying to find people to teach!

Sunday was great! We had one of our baptismal dates come to church!

And she loved it! She was introducing herself to the whole branch! It was amazing! Then we had a great lesson with her at the park with one of our members! He is an awesome guy! Then contacted some cool people and had one lesson with them, then we ended the night visiting with Dustin! Then we came home and I gathered the districts numbers! Had a good 21st birthday!

This week was a super great week! I really learned the importance of following the spirit and relying on God to help us achieve what we need to achieve! I love is gospel I know this church is the only true church restored to earth today with Gods authority to perform baptisms!
