Friday we had zone conference. It was amazing. The best one so far I think. Everyone cried haha. There was some awesome trainings on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It really put things into perspective for me. I am so thankful for His sacrifice for all of us. It was a great zone conference. The rest of the day was good too!
Saturday was a good day too! We went contacting in the morning and then later in the day we had a lesson with Mason. And we got to have his best friend Skype in who is serving his mission in Brazil to help us teach. That really helped mason understand more things and his friend's testimony was so sincere and helped him a lot. It was a great lesson.
Sunday was good as always. Church is always good. We went out and contacted for a long time on Sunday night and we met someone that is friends with one of our investigators so that was way cool!
Monday I went on exchanges with Elder Fowers. That was pretty fun. He's a great missionary and he is way fun to be around. We taught a really good lesson and we contacted most of the day! We handed out lots of bibles and copies of the Book of Mormon.
Tuesday I was back with Elder Morse which is always great. We had a lesson with Mason and he told me that he found my YouTube channel. He said his favorite one was "Choir trip part 2" where Scotty, Patrick, Woodson and I are in our room on tour. We pretend to go to sleep but we don't. Patrick, Woodson and Scotty are now famous in Ohio. He also enjoyed my music videos with Avery, but let's hope honest, who doesn't enjoy those? Mason is excited to be baptized and we are so excited for him. I love Mason. He's so great. We contacted a lot and it was so fun because it was so warm and tons of people were outside. I have never seen so many hammocks set up in one place in my life. It was crazy. And it's nice when it is warm because people are more willing to talk with you. I talked to this Lax bro yesterday and it was fun to talk about lacrosse with someone but he wasn't interested in the gospel at all.
Today we got to go to the temple! It was so great. The temple is definitely the House of the Lord. I am thankful for temples.
I love you mom! Good luck with Solo and Ensemble!
Your son,
Elder Collier
That is so crazy that you got snow. Yesterday the weather was so nice. 77 degrees and sunny. I got to go out and contact with a short sleeve shirt on. So crazy! It's raining again today but the sun was nice while it lasted.
That is so crazy that Merit and Chandler are engaged. I'm happy for them! Chandler is definitely welcome in the family. I love that guy.So this week was good! Thursday was a day full of miracles. What a day. The Lord truly directs this work and I know that. We were out contacting in the morning and I saw this guy wearing an Ohio State wrestling sweatshirt. I said "do you wrestle?" And to my surprise Elder Morse says "Chase?" And he's like "yeah?" They start talking and it turns out that Elder Morse wrestled him in a national tournament his sophomore year of high school! He now wrestles for Ohio State. They got talking about that and then he ended up being interested in the Book of Mormon! It was wild. Definitely a miracle that we were able to talk to him out of the 60,000 students at OSU. Then we had some really great lessons with investigators. Krystalyn picked a date to be baptized and I am so excited for her! Hopefully I stay here another transfer. It has been so cool to see her progress.
