HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hey Y'all!

Well this past week has been crazy as all get out to say the least! We have been going and going non stop. Though its super tiring, Its also super rewarding because when its time to the hay, as soon as I put my head down I zonk out! so that has been pretty nice!

So between driving, and sitting in meetings we haven't had much time to meet everyone yet unfortunately. It seemed like every time we had free time to go out and meet people in Wytheville, something always had to pop up and we were having to drive to a meeting or clear across the county. Its been good though and have lots of time to get to know Elder Burgener and Elder Manu, They are amazing companions!

A cool story from this last week; We hare teaching a couple by the last name of Parsons in the Wytheville area, and they are AWESOME!! This past week we taught them about the Plan of Salvation, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When we were teaching them, Brother Parsons just kept bringing up the scripture in 2 Nephi 31: 5 which talks about how the Lamb of God was baptized, and if he being holy needed to be baptized then that gives us a greater reason to be baptized! Then Sister Parsons told us that they have been reading and praying and really considering being baptized into the church but they want to make sure that this is 100% what they want to do with their lives, and that if they do join, they want to be all in. and they want to do it for them selves. so that was wonderful! We have a lot of great people that we are working with right now and I'm super excited for what the future holds for these two ares. Just pray that I will be able to get all of it done and not let anyone fall through the cracks!

Sunday I got to speak in church about why we do missionary work. I feel like I was able to do a good job and deliver a powerful message to the Fortchiswell ward. Preparing the talk was great for me because it helped remind me why I chose to serve a mission. God works in mysterious ways and knows what each and everyone one of us need, and that's a fact!

Today we tried to go turtle fishing again with Brother Vannatter, But it was too cold so we didn't catch anything unfortunately. But he did cook us some Turtle and Squirrel which was really good! I got to eat Squirrel heart, brain, kidney, and liver! wasn't a huge fan of the brain and liver, but the heard and kidney was pretty bomb!

Well I love all y'all so very much and hope you have a great week, feel free to write me an email every once in a while. Its always good to hear from all y'all!
