Bryan's Baptism

Bryan is now baptized and wow it was incredible!!! To answer your questions Mom... yes, his wife is a member, and no, he does not have a kid but he has a son on the way! And yes, he is a stud! His baptism was amazing, right before he got baptized he bore his testimony to us all on his journey here and everything.  It was powerful. Brother Cole then baptized him and right after his wife bore her testimony and it too was powerful. It was a great baptism. After the baptism we went to Bryan's for a BBQ and we were surrounded by MMA fighters and I felt like a little freshman again looking at all the huge senior football players. They are so yoked it's not even funny! They told us that they will put us through a workout some P-Day...um... yipee? haha no i really want to do it!

So quick cool story... My second week here in this area we went to a part member's home for dinner (the father is not a member) and the last time Elder Weston and his other comp had challenged him to pray.  When Elder Weston and I were there, we found out he hadn't prayed yet. So we basically threw down on him for a while and we both left extremely frustrated and pretty much thought there was no hope for him. Well this morning during comp study we got a call from his wife and he wants to hear the lessons, and she says he is now open and humble!!!! Lets just say I had little to no hope for him, wherefore can I doubt?? Well, I doubted. Lesson learned! The Lord can soften ANY heart. Needless to say we are so pumped to go teach him!

A ride on a jetski sounds mighty nice right about now..... it's hot!!! So cool that you got one though! Send a pic! Also the letters from Sunday night icecream are the best!! Icecream is what i live on now, no joke. We went and bought two big things of icecream and that's what we eat. Also the quote you sent me from Lord of the Rings pretty much made my day. Thanks mom!

Yesterday we went bowling for P-Day! A member in our zone owns it so it twas free! We bowled for 3 and a half hours. My shoulder is so sore! My best game was a 143... so not very good. Most of the time we were goofing off and seeing how hard we could throw it (Hence sore shoulder) It was a blast!

Have fun in Oregon this week! I bet it will be a blast. Oh and Dad, when you have the missionaries in our home you better make sure they live the morning schedule and are obedient! haha that will be sweet! Make them milk the cows!

Dad you wanted to know more about the district. Well the Zone Leaders and Assistants are doing great of course. Three areas in the district are really slow right now though. One is seeing improvement and doing lots better though a missionary is training there and they are working really hard. We are still working on the other two areas... We need to get them going. For the most part the missionaries are obedient. Things are going good though! Thanks for the emails and updates with everything, I always love to hear how everybody is doing. Have a great week! Be safe in Oregon and take advantage of not having to pump your own gas! Love ya'll mucho!
