I'll be looking forward to getting that package with the tie and socks! Could you possibly send me another pair of pants? My tan ones are falling apart.
Sorry it has taken me so long to email today! We went bowling as a district this morning. It was a lot of fun! But it is snowing today so that isn't fun. I thought we were done with that!
My week was good!
On Thursday we had exchanges. I went with Elder Brumfield. He is my district leader. That was a lot of fun because he was in my first district back in Bellefontaine. So it's good to be serving around him again. We had a really good lesson that evening. The spirit was really strong when I was reciting the First Vision. I know that that happened. I know Joseph Smith was a prophet.
Friday was a good day as well. We exchanged back and then had weekly planning! And then we had dinner with the Moarefdousts! That was a ton of fun. They are so awesome. And yes I did get to see Rushmore! He was a big doofus.
Saturday was St Patrick's day! But I totally forgot about that. I should've wore a green tie but I didn't. We did a lot of tracting that day but to was still good. We had a great lesson that afternoon and this guy we are meeting with has a bunch of old documents from his family and he is super excited about family history. So that is really cool! The stake is having a big family history day in a few weeks that he is gonna go to. That'll be good.
Sunday was good as always! Church is always a blast. The ward here is so awesome. We went tracting again that evening and that was fun. Not too much else happened. It was also super warm on Sunday!
Monday was great! We did service at the food pantry which is always a fun time. We had a chapel tour with an investigator that afternoon. The member that came with us really hit it off with him and they built a pretty good friendship so that was really cool to see. We contacted a potential investigator that evening and she let us right in! She was really excited to see us and super happy when we gave her a Book of Mormon! She told us that she is gonna mark all over it and when we come back she is gonna have a lot of questions. That was really awesome to hear! And she said she wants to watch general conference! That will be good.
Tuesday it started snowing! Ohio weather is so weird. It was super nice sunday and monday and then not at all on tuesday. We did service at the thrift store that gives its profits to the community. The lady that runs it is so nice. We invited her to our easter breakfast in a few weeks and she was sp excited about it. We had interviews with President Stratford after that. He is so awesome. And we had another really awesome lesson with our investigator Herb. He is really studying the Book of Mormon and trying to find an answer for himself. The thing I love so much about this Gospel is that you are invited to find the answer for yourself. You aren't just going off of what someone has told you. You study it out and through the power of the Holy Ghost you are able to find the truth for yourself. I know that anyone that reads the Book of Mormon with a sincere heart will find out that it is true!
I love you Mom! I'm glad you are doing well and I'm glad the concert went well. Thank you for everything you have taught me.
Your son,
Elder Collier
