Snack Packs and WOOHOO

Hows it going Muchachies?!

Things here in good ole' Vinton are chugging along! this past week went by super fast and we had a lot of fun so hey I can complain right?! the past few days it has rained non stop which has made it hard to get out and work but we are doing all we can to find and talk to people! We have a lot of people that we look forward to contacting this week and hope that we can pick them up as investigators. So pray that all goes well on that part :)

Last Tuesday we had the chance to go on exchanges to with the Zone leaders and that was a wonderful time! We talked to a girl named Asia and invited her to learn and she excepted and when she met with the Elders later that week they were able to pick up her and all of her siblings as investigators! it was awesome! I learned so much and left feeling so motivated to get out and work and find those that are ready to hear the message! Tuesday was also Elder Basteen's birthday so we went to Texas Roadhouse and made him sit on the saddle so that we could give him a big Texas Roadhouse YEEEHAAAW!! haha It was really fun and made for a lot of good laughs :)

This past week we have been planning for a Meet the Mormons movie night that we are going to have at our church and it has been fun using it as a street contacting tool. Its funny to see peoples reaction when we tell them that they can come and learn about our church by watching a free movie, They get all excited when they find out that they don't have to pay... Buncha free loaders ;)

Yesterday when we were at church the Bishop pulled us into his office and informed us that we are now going to be teaching two 9 year old girls all of the lessons so that they can be baptized, we went and met the parents and they were all really excited when we talked about baptism, Its super cool to see the miracles that come from being obedient and diligent!

Well other than that not too much happened this past week but Id say it was still a pretty solid week :)

For my spiritual thought this week I just wanna say that I know that this church is true and that as we do all that we can to keep our faith strong and follow Christ that we will see countless amounts of blessings through out our lives. I know some of you aren't members and I know that you don't want anything to do with the Mormon faith, But I can tell you that this gospel offers so much more than you will ever find in any other church. It fills the holes in your life that you never knew were there. I just want to invite all of you to just see what its all about and see if its for you. All you have to do is ask for your self if its true. Simple as that. I love you all and hope that you all have a great week!!!

Love,

Elder Wilson
