Month #4 in Hutch

This week was crazy...... well there we a couple high points in the week matched by a couple low points! Sooooooo we will start with the rough ones..... well Erika and her daughters dropped us.... we get a text from Kyle saying hey come over for a lesson so we do and everyone's there we sit down and Kyle goes okay so the reason i asked y'all to come over is i have a lot of questions that need answers. So turns out he looked up a ton of Anti websites and spent more time listening about what men who done know anything about our church have to say about it rather than reading and praying to see what God has to say about it. So we get asked all these ridiculous questions and i leave him stumped..... so then he gets frustrated and says well Erika and I have been talking and we don't want you to come by anymore........ and told us we weren't allowed to come by if we were gonna talk religion.... so i just bore my testimony about the Book of Mormon and said "I find it really funny how your willing to see what non Mormons say about my religion but when i start talking about it you stop paying attention. So Kyle that's probably why we've spent more time answering anti questions than going over the doctrine of the church!" Then he got real upset probs cuz the spirit got pretty strong..... but yah that was heart breaking. Now time for the good stuff! So Roman is back from Mexico and we met his Grandson who's dope and so prepared for the gospel, we met this lady named Meagan and she's fantastic! Shes so prepared too! Also we met this guy named Jamie who when we started talking to him we both got the impression hes ready so we invited him to be baptized on 7/7! And he said he will prepare for that! It was so cool! We have seen so many new people be so ready for the gospel this last week! And Mike Williams is going to meet with the Bishop this SSunday about his baptism! So exciting! Such a great week! I love y'all so much! BTW this is the last week before transfers (on June 27) so if you have a letter or anything send it early if not no biggie! Just a heads up! I LOVE Y'all and am so happy to be a missionary there no other thing id rather be doing right now honestly!

11 months already? GOOD GUAC

This week was a fantastic week! We had a lot of fun and got to teach a lot of lessons and find and talk to a lot of really cool people! Well to start off I got to lead a Book of Mormon study with some ward members and a couple investigators! That was fun the usual guy who does it was outta town so i stepped up and took charge haha! Then well i guess another thing that happened was on Wed night we got asked to speak that same Sunday hahahaha of course us missionaries get fallen back on but it was no big deal it was fun! I spoke on the 2 great commandments love God and Love others! It was so cool to go through the week with that in mind! We really got to see what its like to truly love others as yourself. It was cool! My talk in sacrament had to be 25 min long hahahaha I feel bad for the congregation ðŸ˜‚😂
Thursday came and we had a real strong impression to go see this guy Mike Williams who were teaching he used to be a member of the church but wants to come back to the church. So we talked to him and hes been coming to church for the past little bit and has been wanting to get re-baptized since '96 and hasn't felt the desire so we went there and talked to him on what baptism really is and the covenant (promise with us and God) we make when we get baptized. And he looked us in the eyes and said...... Im ready lets do this. And so now he will meet with the bishop and go from there! So awesome! We taught Erika the Plan of Salvation this week and she really really liked it and shes reading in the Book of Mormon and gonna see what God tells her about it! Shes so awesome! That family is so nice and prepared they just need to follow the spirit and not the outside voices. But yah that was the extent of our week and yah it was a blast E. Curtis and I have been putting in a lot of good work and making some really good memories haha! I love y'all so much!

This week was a gnarly week! We had a really cool zone blitz out in a town called Newton and everyone in the zone saw awesome miracles! So before this i was studying in Genisis and read about when Abraham had his servant go look for a wife for him! And he prays by the well for a wife for his master and says hey God I'm here by the well and looking for a wife for my master and the woman I say give me drink and also gives some to my donkey she is the one thou hast planned for me to wife my master. So I tried that out and said hey God help me find the elect soul that you planned for me to find and when I find them let them be wearing a  red shirt and black shorts. So we were all with different companions! And we went and went to work and we couldn't find anyone who would talk so the member we were with took out his ministering list and we went to the name that was prompted and it was Awesome! We got to give him a blessing and it was such a miracle he said he'd come to church and everything! So cool! Then on Thursday we had zone conference and that was CASH! We talked about our purpose as a missionary and about being an agent not an object in life it was so good! Then on Saturday I could just feel miracles stirring so we started to just work our tails off and later that day we went to go see Erika at work and one of her co workers was super cool and we started talking to her and half way thru the convo I realized shes wearing a red shirt and black shorts and she was so solid and tool a Book of Mormon and is gonna read and pray about it! So awesome prayer is lit Y'all! I have a very firm testimony of specific prayers bring specific answers! So Awesome! I love y'all have a fan-frickin-tastic week!
