Thank you so much for the package! That was really nice! The week has been pretty good! Better than last week! So the rest of last Monday was good! We hung out with the Sidney Elders in Piqua! We played basketball and football. That was way fun! And then we met with some people that night.
Tuesday a lot of lessons cancelled but that's okay! We still had two lessons! We met with Sister Achor and that was really good! And then later in the day we tried contacting a referral but she doesn't live there anymore. Then we had a lesson with the Poindexters! They are really cool. They aren't really interested in being baptized but they read the Book of Mormon every day and they know it is true! And they are better member missionaries than most members haha! They have gotten their friends and Sister Poindexter has gotten her brother to meet with the missionaries in other areas! It's really funny but so cool! They'll get baptized eventually. 
Wednesday we went and saw Dawn and invited her to general conference! She said that she would come (she didn't end up watching) but that's alright. Then we got to talk to tiffany over Facebook and answer some of her questions so that was good! And then we met with some more people that night and invited them to conference!
Thursday we had district meeting in Piqua! The zone leaders gave the trainings and it was really helpful! It was about how to use Facebook and your tablets more effectively. Something I really need to get better at! Then we tried meeting with some people that night but no one answered but we got to talk to tiffany over Facebook again and answer some more questions. The one frustrating thing about Facebook is that the only place we have Wi-Fi is the church so if we are gonna talk to someone we have to drive all the way to the church and then we have to wait there for their response when we could be out doing something but you don't want to just leave and not answer their questions. So it takes up more time than we would like. Some areas have Wi-Fi in their apartment so hopefully I get to go to one of those areas eventually haha!
Friday we mainly did service. We helped someone put Christmas lights up. Yes... We put Christmas lights up in September. It was nice to help her out though! The we had weekly planning and then we did service at the soup kitchen again! It's fun to help out at the soup kitchen! Then we walked to Christians and we always seem to get there at the worst time for him but I think that's a good thing because he knows that no matter what he is going through that there's at least two people in Bellefontaine that care about Him and hopefully he makes the connection that God loves him as well!
Saturday was conference. Holy smokes it was amazing. I have really taken general conference for granted in my previous 18 years of life. We get to hear from living Apostles of our Savior Jesus Christ every 6 months!! How cool is that? And their messages are directly for us to guide us in our day. They can be applied so easily to our lives! I am so thankful for the inspired leaders in this church and I know for a fact that they are called of God! I have decided that I am going to read at least one conference talk every day from here on out because I have totally taken them for granted in my life! We should study them and learn from them each day! It's such a great blessing! Anyway, I loved conference! We didn't have any investigators watch with us but we had some that watched by themselves!
Sunday was amazing too! I think my favorite talk was Tad R Callister's. I knew as soon as they said he was gonna speak that he was gonna throw down and boy did he deliver! He gave a great talk about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon! I know that that book is true and no matter how many people try to prove that it is wrong they can't because it is true! And millions of people have now testified that they know it is true. It is the word of God and everyone should read and ask God if it is true!
I love you! Thank you for everything!
Your son,
Elder Collier
