Hello everybody! This week was awesome! I got to go to a
training meeting in San Antonio to learn how to be a District leader, that was
fun. We got to do some service on a lawnmower and a lot of ranch work. We built
100 tomato cages in record time! We got to work on a Toyota pickup which
was awesome! I know that truck inside and out! Ha! Elder Tanner wrecked on his
bike twice in two days. I've got some sweet pictures, and He's got some sweet
bruises! Haha good times. Our Investigator was confirmed yesterday!
He's way cool. Now we have to find someone else to teach.... He was our only
investigator :( Oh well, back to work!

Hey everybody. I had a really good week! On Tuesday we had
President Interviews with President Jones. On the way there the tire on the
truck ripped apart! It was funny. The tread separated off the tire. One of the
elders in Kerville was driving and it scared him pretty good. We changed the
tire and went on our way. The Interviews went well, President Jones is really
cool. This week I had to give my first District Training. I liked it and
I think it went well. We gave service at the Food Bank again, we got to talk
with all the old people that volunteer there. We got to do service for the
member who owns a bunch of Road Graters again, It was really fun. He used to
live in Spanish Fork for 10 years or so, so we talked about the Dream Mine and
Geneva Steel. That was nice. We had our Body Shop investigator friend
come tour our church. He brought his mom and she loved the Family History
service. They really enjoyed it, I think they will be our next baptism here, If
we can get them to come the church! I'll happen over time :)
Thanks again for everything,
Talk to you soon.

This week has been crazy! I've been on two exchanges and did
one Baptismal Interview. I got to go on an exchange with the Zone Leaders
in their area, and the AP's came to do an exchange with us. We had 4
missionaries working in our area on Saturday, between us all we talked to
80 people, taught 4 lessons, and got like 6 return appointments! This next week
is going to be busy just following up with everyone and teaching them all. I'm
excited. Yesterday was Branch Conference here, so the Stake President and
his councilors came to speak and teach all the classes in church. It was really
good, and all the members loved it. Then we had a pot luck at the church right
after the block of meetings. It was a really good Sunday.
Well I hope you all have a
great week, talk to you soon!
