May 27th, 2014

Well I said I would email on Wednesday but we had a couple appointments fall through so we decided to email today instead. So Elder Wyllie and I are doing great together. We were able to teach a lot of people last week. Not all of them said we could come back but we are trying to work harder at talking to everyone and at least sharing a short message or scripture with them instead of trying to just set up appointments without a message that usually fall through. We have been able to see a lot of success come of it. We have been able to set 2 baptismal dates together and we are currently working on setting many more. The current baptismal dates that we have are for a guy in the Westhill Ward by the name of Joe Goyen. The other is in the Templeview Ward by the name of Casey Forkenbrock. They both have a current baptismal date for June 21st, 2014. We are praying that they will continue to progress and that we will be able to continue to meet with them and that their desire to learn more and that their testimony will continue to be strengthened. This week we will be having Zone Conference on Thursday, May 27th, and these are always really fun and have some great trainings. The only downside to Zone Conference is that it is from 8:30am-4pm so we get to sit in a chapel almost all day so it can be very tiring sometimes. Memorial Day was just another regular p-day for us. Which means we do our normal morning schedule routine and then from 10am-6pm we have free time to do emails, shopping, and zone activities (usually sports). The tree stumps were finally removed and taken to the dump after a lot of digging, axing, chain sawing, and truck pulling. That was quite the adventure but it was a lot of fun. So we have been biking a lot now that the weather is nicer and Wyllie found a bike that was left at the transfer site (the church building that we meet at during transfers). So far we have done around 40 miles together but unfortunately Wyllie will be losing his bike because the bike that Wyllie found belongs to another missionary. So he will be losing the bike on Thursday and then we will be back to walking. Um.....I believe that is all that has happened in the past week. It was a pretty eventful week and we are hoping for an even more eventful week full of teaching and sharing a message with everyone. I love y'all very much and hope y'all have another great week!!
