Hello!


Oh my goodness, it seems like every week gets more exhausting. We weren't sure if we were going to make it yesterday, we were both so tired! But we did have a really busy and good week! Monday we spent in princeton and had FHE with a part member family, the Hales. They are really awesome, the husband Tony really likes the church and will get baptized but he is still waiting for a sure answer that he knows it is true. Tuesday we spent the morning in Russellville and then to Morgantown in the afternoon and evening. We are teaching a 17 year old, Jaylin, she is super cute! Her family are members but not active, and she is getting baptized on June 11! We are also working with an excommunicated member, helping her get back. She is a great girl, she just needs to know she can make the changes. We had a really good talk with her yesterday and she told us she prayed for the first time in many many years yesterday and she said she wants to make it an everyday thing! We were so excited to hear it! Then on thursday we spent the day in Eldorado. We drove about 8 hours that day to see about 4 people. That shows just how important one person is to the Lord! :) Then friday we spent the day in Fulton. We are still teaching the Brown family and they are so awesome! They still have a baptism date for June 4th for Joanna and three of her kids: Levi, Sierra, and Hannah. We also talked to Ladonna, who is getting baptized on June 18! Then saturday we started out in Elkton, but we are turning it over to the traveling elders because we are stretched pretty thin. So starting this week, we will have 5 areas instead of 6, which will make it nice to be able to spend more time in the arteas that need it. Then we headed for russellville, and then morgantown, then to madison for the Jason Deere fireside to meet one of our investigators there, and spent the night in gallatin and then drove back to morgantown for sunday! Yep. THAT is why I am exhausted! The work does not slow down! The Jason Deere fireside was really good! Emily, our investigator, was really struggling because her family is feeding her a lot of anti and telling her we are full of crap and she is really worried she will get kicked out of her house if she keeps pursuing the mormons. She is home for the summer break from college. She is amazing though. You know when they get that much opposition and still try to move forward that they are elect!

Chris Kirby got baptized in Morgantown saturday! It was great! We also had to speak in that ward yesterday. So that was our week! I am doing good other than being tired! It sounds like these upcoming weeks will be pretty busy for you guys! Tell Amanda congrats on her graduation! I'll keep Britt and Tyler in my prayers that they'll be able to find jobs out there. How is the job market anyway? Do you think it will be fairly easy to find a job when I get back? I am hoping so! Anyway, I guess that is all for now. I love you all!
