 Week 49   Aug 21 '23 -  Aug 27 '23    Week 50   Aug 28 '23 -  Sept 3 '23 Sept 6, 2023 Hey guys, sorry it's been a while since a wrote. Hopefully you guys have had great weeks! The biggest thing that has happened, is Dylan got baptized!!! It was such an amazing experience. He was so prepared, and the Lord blessed us every step of the way. The coolest part about this was even though we technically taught him every thing, is was the members, (his grandparents) that actually helped learn more, feel the spirit, and truly become converted to Jesus Christ. Dylan has been investigating the church for about 5 years, and through it all his testimony has become so strong! This Sunday he got confirmed, and he also got the Aaronic priesthood. In a couple weeks we are planning to go do baptisms with him at the temple! Overall I think Dylan had a great experience, and he is on the path for lifelong discipleship.  Also I have started this new...

Week 48 August 14-20 August 24, 2023  Hey guys, hope you week has been great! It's crazy we are already half way through August. The weeks just keep flying by. Anyway this week was a pretty good week. On Tuesday we were able to have a lesson with a family we have been trying to meet with my whole time in Willimina.  Anyway like most weeks, we did lots of contacting and finding. This week we tried a different way of finding. We used some chalk, found a good sidewalk, and we drew the plan on salvation love diagram with our number next to it.  The rest of this week we had SPC, and  interviews with President. Friday was our big contacting day, and one of our contacts just happened to have 16 German Shepherds. It was crazy, and if you just walked into the gate without the owner  they would run, and bark at you. (He told us on the phone that when he was on his way back to the house after getting something from the car all 16 dogs started charging at him teeth bared, u...

Week 45 July 24-July 30 Week 46 July 31-August 6 Week 47 August 7-13 August 16, 2023  Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since I last wrote an email. Not tons of super big stuff have happened, mostly just contacting people, and trying to get lessons.  However things with Dylan are going great! We are getting about 2 lessons a week with him, and his baptism is coming up soon!! Also last week for p day his took us to an airplane museum, that he works at. It was so cool. They had an airplane there called the spruce goose. This thing was massive, and it was mostly made out of wood. They said it was the only one in the world, so that was pretty cool. They also had WW2 fighters and lots of other planes.  Anyway transfers happened, and Elder Peterson and I are staying comps, while Elder Andrew is going to Dayton. It should be a fun transfer. Our district shrunk down to only 4 people so that's gonna take a second to get used to, but other than that  not much is changing this ...
