Hello All,

It was a great week here in Bear Creek! Elder Beck and I found a new investigator. Her name is Olivia. President Mortensen has been emphasizing that we spend the hours of 6-8 pm finding. Due to the fact that it’s cold and dark that leaves us with no other option than to go tracting. We tracted into Olivia and she said that we could come back the next day. We went over with a priest named Seth and taught the Restoration. It went well. She seemed interested and she felt the Spirit but she also seemed a little hesitant and nervous. Seth did an awesome job though. We also tracted into a lady that let us in, her husband wasn’t too happy to see us. He said there were a lot of differences in what they believe and what we believe. But he told her she could listen to us. We started to teach and then the kids went crazy. She asked us to come back some other time during the day. I really hope we get to teach her again.

So we taught the Restoration to Jimmy this week. He has had missionaries over a lot but he recently agreed to go through the lessons. The lesson went really well! We have 9 o clock church this year and he wasn’t too excited about that. But guess what, he came! Not only did he come but he came in a white shirt and tie. He looked great and his countenance looked great also.

Yesterday was a great sacrament meeting. I love this ward so much. I don’t want to leave. We still haven’t been able to teach Mark yet. He was sick all this week too. Sounds like it’s really bad. I’m out of time, sorry I can’t write more. I love you all and miss you. Have a great week!

p.s. There is a really good chance of me getting transferred next week :(

We were biking by and saw this gem on the side of the road. Let me tell you, this picture took Awkward Family Photos to a whole nother level!

We had to pose next to it!

 Welcome to the Family. Lol.
