Week 10 - Sorry...wrong number

Hey everyone!

Holy Cattle guys I'm an old person! Yes it feels super different than being 18. The first thing Elder McArthur told me this morning was that I look older, so yeah it's a good day.

This week went by so fast, and I don't actually have that many stories to tell, but I do have a bunch of pictures, so hopefully that will make up for it.

We had another lesson at the Kotter's with Kieron, David, Kamren, Kaiden, and Matthew, and this time instead of Dylan, we had our friend Tristain there. That was pretty awesome, and they all left with their own copy of the Book of Mormon, which we were super hyped about.

Lyndon's baptism will be this Saturday and we are super excited for it! We know he's making the right choice and it's gonna be fun seeing him continue progressing.

Jaylin came to church again, and we made sure he didn't leave without getting a picture with us, so now y'all can finally see what he looks like. He didn't say much about the content of the meeting, but we are pretty sure he liked it, and the talks were definitely inspired.

Lisa didn't come to church this week and could definitely use prayers. Physically she's doing better, and she might've found a job, but her family needs help. If everyone could pray for her that would be so phenomenal.

The biggest highlight of this week was probably eating at Ephisus with Lyndon and Sister Miller. It was amazing food! I got the beef kabob and it came with rice and a salad. I can honestly say that even though they should never serve that salad again, their meat is so good that I would gladly choke the salad down again just to get a taste of their beef. This coming from a cowboy that grew up on good beef.

This week we set up a lesson with a guy named Robert. He is inactive, and we have been trying to get him to let us over for a while. We were surprised when he told us we could come over this weekend. We went over to his house, but no one answered the door. After some brief discussing, we decided to give Robert a call. He answered, and we asked if he was still ok with meeting with us today, and he said he was. We asked for his address cause clearly there was a disconnect somewhere. He told us not to put his address into google maps cause that will take us to the wrong side of BYU. My companion and I both agreed that we didn't want to end up at BYU cause that's a little out of our area. Plot twist we were talking to Robert Jr. Robert's dad is inactive and lives in our ward, but for some reason we had the son's number down as the father's number... that was awkward. Super cool though that a college kid was so chill with having the missionaries over to his apartment. He was totally gonna vibe with us at heritage halls which is evidently where I played frisbee pre mission so that was pretty legit too. We got his dad's number and we are now working on contacting the right guy, so hopefully that will go well. That's all I've got for this week. Thanks for all the love and presents and for everyone that wrote to me for my birthday!!
