Hey Mom! I'm doing well, I love missionary work! And I have been getting better at talking to people. I realized that it all starts with having good relationships with the members and I've been getting better at talking to them and so that leads to me getting better at talking to strangers. It's still really tough though I'm not gonna lie. It kinda drains my energy each day. But it's okay I'll get better as time goes on.
This week was really good!
We met with Sister Achor again on Tuesday and those lessons keep getting better. She is really increasing her faith and that's nice to see. Later that day we ate dinner at the Wahl's and Brother Wahl goes "Elder Collier all I see on Facebook is a bunch of pictures of babies. Your family is obsessed" I thought that was so funny hahaha! You all must have had a great time in Utah! 
Wednesday sister Achor needed help with making a scavenger hunt for her grandkids' Halloween party so we tried our best to help out with that. Hopefully it turns out well! We had a lesson with Bryson where we were reviewing the baptismal interview questions and that went great. He's so excited to be baptized and I am so happy for him! Then we went and contacted some more people without too much success. 
Thursday was Zone conference! It was extra long so it took up our whole day after driving. I sang for everyone! I sang How Great Thou Art. It was nice to sing again and I was nervous but I'm glad the Zone leaders asked me to! Zone conference was so great. I love President Stratford. He is so knowledgeable and so loving to all of us! We learned a lot. We learned about how important the sacrament is and how we need to emphasize that with our investigators. And he talked about how obedience is more important than the things that we have sacrificed already. He read a scripture 1 Samuel 15:22 that talks about that. I was really grateful for zone conference. It was much needed!
Friday not too much happened. We just tried to contact some people and helped clean the church! That was fun.
Saturday we had a funny experience tracting. We got a new investigator on the street so that was good but later on we knocked this door and 3 little girls opened the door and I said "hi, is your mom home?" And one of them went to get her but their mom didn't come back and he little girl rain back and said "shut the door, shut the door, they don't like God." And so they shut the door. That's one that I haven't heard before but I am here to tell you that we do like God. We like Him very much! Then we helped a family move in. They had a piano that we had to move! I was really nervous moving it because I know that if I hurt it somehow then it would make you very upset, haha I love you mom!
Then Sunday was great! The talks were really great. We had dinner with the Escue's and that was fun. They are such a great family. And then we tried to contact people with some luck but not too much.
Overall it was a pretty good week!
I love you mom!
Your son,
Elder Collier
