Week #4

Another week in the bag! It's been crazy.

We woke up at 2:45 am to go to the airport. We went to bed at like
12:30 that night so we were on like 2 hours of sleep. I don't know how
I stayed awake that day. So we go on the bus and they took us to a
train station. We went on that train, got off, and then had to get on
ANOTHER train that took us to the airport. Then we went and checked
our bags and then made phone calls! I got to talk to both my parents
at the same time which was nice, and I also got to talk to Lou, so I
was content! Then we got on the plane, got to Vegas at 8:30 am Vegas
time, and met our mission president, President Snow! It was super
cool, he's an awesome president. We went to the mission home and got
fed a REAL breakfast; pancakes, bacon, the whole setup! Then we met
the APs and STLs and they're super cool. Then we had training and then
went to the church to meet our trainers! My trainer's name is Elder
Webb, he's from Arkansas and has been out for 20 months! We get along
really really well and have been tearing up our area.

So the first day out in the field, we knocked 7 doors, and all 7
wanted return appointments! We still teach them! Then the next day we
find out that we have 2 investigators with baptism dates. It's
awesome! After that it's just been appointments, street contacting,
and knocking doors. We've had a lot of success so far.

We also got to meet our Zone Leaders on Friday and then went to Jack
in the Box haha. It was a funny site to see. A bunch of missionaries
in a fast food place.

We've been fed every night by the members, it's good cause they LOVE
feeding us! They love coming and teaching too. It's a really small
ward but super active!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, they don't go unnoticed
and I feel them daily. I love you all. Till next time!
