Hey Family,
Man Down!, Man Down! We are down to a regular companionship. Last Monday we got a call from President Collins about Elder Vonstrahl, and letting him know that he was getting transferred. I love the Elder to death, but i am grateful to be back to normal. I Hate when every mentions that i am getting close to the end i am not that close i still got seven months do not rob me of those precious months! It has been hitting me pretty hard this week i came to a realization that i only have five transfers left and this one is almost over... I don't like it at all! But this week was a great week we got a lot accomplished and stuff rolling. This week we have implemented a program with the members to help them become more involved in Preach My Gospel and helping them to be more familiar with teaching and what to teach and what their role as members are regarding missionary work. It has been great! The ward is accepting it very well we have found that alot of the members just have never used Preach My Gospel. It is a real eye opener. As we have talked with the members the reason that they don't use it is because they don't know how to use it. the brethren has told every member to have on in a home and to study it frequently, but preach my gospel doesn't say how to apply it as a members stand point. Thus far it has been very successful. We have had a kinda slow week with our investigators, they are loosing desire and are slowly dropping like flies. Its kinda frustrating but at the same time it is a busy time of the year and it is to be expected. Nathan is doing great we are having lessons with him and his family again they are doing great, i am very grateful to he bale to teach them and to be able to help them come back to full activity. We are extending a baptismal date with Nathan this week for some time in December or early part of January! he is so progressing fast. Andrew his brother will be receiving the Aaronic priesthood some time soon he had his interview with the bishop yesterday. He is so gun ho about the gospel that is is amazing he always talks about going on a mission just like what we are doing. Those are tender mercies of the lord! Things are going very swell for us and are looking up. Tonight we have dinner with Lindsey and her family. and then a lesson that follows. i hope and pray that Lindsey will be able to be baptised some time soon. she is so ready for this covenant. and her Father is taking the right steps to coming back to the fold, i am so excited for them and their eagerness to follow the savior in all things. Elder Tatton and I are doing great!! we get along great. i am very grateful to be able to serve with him. For thanks giving we are having a lot of dinner, witch sucks but it will be alright we are having dinner with the Turner family. its crazy Brother Turner is Rhonda Butt's brother or something like that. its crazy how small the world really is. And their son was Nate Ball's mission companion when they were on their mission. We also get to play in the ward turkey bowl. we are pretty stoked about that. The only rule is that every one had to bring a non member friend to play with them. so hopefully the members will bring some non member friends to play with us. I am very excited for the holiday seasons. for the sweet spirit that it always brings to our lives. I hope that all continues to go swell at home i love you all and hope that you all have a great week
