This week has been a kind of crazy one because me and Elder Prater were expecting to spend another one together but its all good haha. We hope that you had a great fourth of July. I dont know who my companion is going to be yet but I will maybe be able to tell you that tomorrow or tonight. I did not really celebrate yesterday but Saturday I got to help out on the Air Force base for an event and I will talk about that in a sec but yeah that was weird not going somewhere on the 4th.
Earlier in the week we were just teaching up a storm with members. We had one day where we took two priests out in a day. One in the morning and one in the evening and so in the day we had 5 member presents which is more than most people have in a whole week so we had a good week teaching with members haha. That is the best way to get people progressing and I really saw that because we had investigators really reading and praying about our message and so I am hoping that we have a week with my new companion where we just see leaps and bounds in the answers of all our investigators.
We started teaching a guy named Fredrick from the library and he is someone who is really investigating. he is 17 and knows more about the bible than a lot of people and so that really surprised me. He is praying a lot about Joseph Smith and just really trying to figure out if he thinks that he is a prophet.
The other really good investigator that we have is named Jimmy who has been taught since 2012 and past missionaries never really pushed hard with him and now that we have we have taught him everything up to the Word of Wisdom and that is what we are trying to help him overcome and then he should be set for baptism if he starts attending church a lot more regularly. Other than that we are just teaching some people who have a long ways to go but they can get where they need to be eventually.
On Saturday we got to go on Base ALL day for setting up and breaking down a huge American celebration for all of the people who live on base and so there was blue grass music and some barbeque and fireworks at night and we were on Golf Carts shuttling people and setting up and I felt like I was running a huge event but it was way fun and so I guess I got to spend basically this past 4th (Really the 2nd haha) with the Military which was pretty cool.
Other than that we were just getting ready for Elder Prater to leave to Bossier Louisiana and I am a little nervous for who I will get and also being in leadership for the first time but I am sure that I will do just fine. But I look forward to hearing back from y'all. Have a great week and I love ya.

Hey Hey,

Me and Elder Prater were expecting to spend another one together but its all good haha. We hope that you had a great fourth of July. I dont know who my companion is going to be yet but I will maybe be able to tell you that tomorrow or tonight. I did not really celebrate yesterday but Saturday I got to help out on the Air Force base for an event and I will talk about that in a sec but yeah that was weird not going somewhere on the 4th.

On Saturday we got to go on Base ALL day for setting up and breaking down a huge American celebration for all of the people who live on base and so there was blue grass music and some barbeque and fireworks at night and we were directing people and setting up and I felt like I was running a huge event but it was way fun and so I guess I got to spend basically this past 4th (Really the 2nd haha) with the Military which was pretty cool.
Other than that we were just getting ready for Elder Prater to leave to Bossier Louisiana and I am a little nervous for who I will get and also being in leadership for the first time but I am sure that I will do just fine. But I look forward to hearing back from y'all. Have a great week!
