Good byes and Nice to meet yous!

This week was busy as freaking heck y'al! We had so much crap to do and so little time to do it!!! Well obviously this week was transfers and i got transfered to Hutch but ill start at the beginning of my week back in JC! So I had my last FHE! We played Apples to Apples! It was sad saying bye to a lot of great peeps! And yah Tuesday was filled with a lot of good byes! It was so hard to leave all those people I love! But aye its a G! In the church its always see ya laters so its okay! Then Wednesday came and i got sick of course the day of transfers and i need to drive 2.5 hours to Wichita! It was #strugglebus! But its okay i made it there. Alive too so thats a plus! Then when we got to Wichita we switched my luggage to another car and i said my good byes to Elder Peterson! And we dipped and dabbed outta there and headed to Hutchinson! Its roughly an hour from Wichita it is a small ish farm town haha! Its awesome i love it so far! All the members are super missionary minded and its so awesome they are fantastic! I love this place! Thursday we met this guy named Mississippi and hes so cool haha he is this 65 year old guy from Tupelo Mississippi so thats what be goes by hahah! He is so awesome he prayed during one of our lessons and thanked God for us meeting him and becoming bffs! He loves to fish and has been teaching us a lot of fishing tricks!! Its so cool! Haha then  Friday I had my first District meeting i was District Leader for and that was pretty cool! I liked it haha i just feel bad for people having to sit and listen to me hahaha. But later that day we were praying for a miracle and right at the end of the night we met this girl named Erika and she wants to meet with us and she has 3 daughters! Its so awesome she is so nice and sweet! We are really excited to start meeting with her! Then Saturday we met this kid Tyler and he said he wants to meet with us too and he was super solid! There's just a couple examples of some miracles we've seen so far! But Sunday we woke up to a terrible text one of our solid people texted saying they were never going to meet with us again and never to text or call again! Booooooooooooooooo! Its okay though God has a perfect plan! In this area we have a lot of people who like to bible bash us which ive gotten pretty good at but I've been trying to find a way to make it effective and not just win an argument..... so ive been asking very specific questions and things like that to make people start opening up to the answers we have for them! Its been working a lot better. They never invite us over to learn more but i know the Lord will send missionaries over again when they need to near it again and their heart will have been softened by then! I love yall!!! Talk to ya next week!

Then we went to FHE and I gave a lesson on a talk called 100% Responsible! Then we played a game called 5 second rule! It was a lot of fun haha! That was most the day haha. Then Tuesday we saw a couple of investigators and saw how they were doing and did a lot of teaching! It was super fun. We also set up a free hot chocolate booth on 2 main roads and was handing out free hot cocoa to people and would teach them as they stopped by it was a lot of fun! Wednesday we had interviews with President and that was good! Then we had a couple of appointments and then had our branch missionary training.... and no branch missionaries showed up....  actually 1 did and he is moving this week soooo awk. 
 Thurs we had a couple more teaching appointments we taught Ryan that morning who's gonna be baptized in March and Bryan who we taught later that afternoon and he is waiting on a spiritual confirmation! Their both really awesome guys! We also went over to a recent converts house for a lesson and he freestyled for us haha it was lit! we also drove all around town looking for Elder Petersons wallet he lost! Then we found it..... under his study chair in the apartment lol. Friday we had exchanges and I went with Elder Riley who's from Phoenix AZ and has been out about 2.5 months now! So that was a lotta fun! We went to an investigators house and during the lesson she started balling her eyes out and said its time for her to make the switch in her life and she finally knows what it is! She is working on a couple of things right now and then will be ready to make her next steps! So awesome!!!! 
Saturday we got some finishing touches on for the Meet the Mormons event which is today actually! I cant wait to tell y'all about it! We also had a couple people who flaked on us so we spent a good bit of time finding new people to teach!

Snow..... again...... really?!?

This week was a really good week! We had a lot of success talking to people and with our appointments! We started the week out at FHE at a members house with a friend of theirs and  we talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon! Then we played catchphrase! Yo it was so much fun! We have had a lot of fun spreading the word about the Meet the Mormons and talking to people all about that! Its all in the newspaper and in the radio! We have been doing a lot of door knocking and its been a lot of fun! We met a lot of cool people!!!! We met Wendy and she's from Jasper Alabama! How gnarly is that?!?!?!??! Freaking awesome we hit it off from the start and ir was really cool! We are gonna have a lesson this up coming week! We also had a lot of service to do this week! We dug a hole we also did a good bit of yard work and stuff!! And Sunday it decided to snow on us sooooo thats been a lot of "fun"! But that means I get to ice skate from place to place while were out walking again so thats a plus to all of it! We had a couple really awesome appointments! One was with Milly and we had Josh a member tag along and they both speak spanish so that was cool! Then we talked to her about the blessings of the Sabbath day and how important it is! Another one was with Bryan! We had a member tag along with him too! Its always a really awesome cool fun lesson when were with him cuz he always has questions for us or a lot of really cool answers to our questions! We have been having a lot of fun here in Junction City! We find ways to have a lot of success and have a lot of fun too! Thats the key im learning! Something really crazy happened lol yall are probs gonna think im wack but listen to this! So we were with an investigator and they asked us to bless their house and they asked if I would do that and of course I did and while doing it I told any bad spirit or any bad presence in the house to leave. And right after i said that i heard "ugh FINE" whispered in my ear and then felt wind blow by me.......... freaky stuff right!??!?!?! Super crazy story but shows how light and dark cant be in the room at the same time! Sorry this email was short but i love you all! Take care!!
