I would've loved to see Rushmore running through the mud haha! What a doofus.
I don't know when we will find out if we are gonna stay in the mission. Probably sometime in June. Also, transfers are next Tuesday! So I will let you know next week if I have been transferred. I think I'll stay here though.
Well my week was pretty good! I'll tell ya about it!
Thursday was a really great day. We saw some serious miracles. Wednesday night we were talking about how we haven't seen much success here and why that was and we decided that we needed to strive to be more obedient. We were working really hard and we weren't being disobedient but we decided to go through the white handbook and focus on all the little things that we may have neglected. So we made a list during companion study. Then we hit roads on our bikes! We met this really cool kid named Nathan. He was playing basketball so of course we talked with him and started shooting hoops with him! We ended up giving him a Book of Mormon. It was really cool. That was miracle number 1. Later on we stopped by a guy that we had been having a hard time getting ahold of. We talked with him and he told us that he had been reading the Book of Mormon and we got setup a return appointment so that was really awesome. Then the coolest miracle happened that night. We stopped by a guy that we had met the week before but he was busy that night and said to come back. We knocked on his door and his son answered and remembered us from the week before! His dad wasn't home yet so we waited outside for a bit and then his dad came back and remembered us and let us right in! We got to talk about the Book of Mormon and his reaction was amazing. He said "you are telling me that the Native Americans knew about Jesus?? Now you got me interested!" It was so cool. We got to teach about the restoration and we are gonna be meeting with him and his son again. That was such a cool experience. The Lord saw that we were willing to do what it took to be successful and He blessed us immediately. I am so thankful for that experience. 
Friday we did service at the thrift store. Always a good time. That evening our Ward Mission Leader came with us to a lesson and it was great! Brother Peterson is the best. He is always willing to help us out and be friends with our investigators. I am so thankful for him.
The rest of the week was a full of knocking and biking again. Not a lot of success but thanks to the experience on Thursday I know for a fact that there are people in Johnstown ready for us to teach them! I love Johnstown. The members of this ward are great and the people in this area are great as well.
Oh and Monday was zone conference! It was great! I love President Stratford. Also I got to email Elder Browning (Caleb) serving in Liberia because we found this guy on Facebook that was really interested and really wants to meet with missionaries but the address he gave us mad no sense at all. So we emailed Elder Browning and told him the address and he knew exactly what the guy was talking about and was able to send the referral along! That was cool.
I love you Mom! Thank you for everything. I'm glad you had a fun spring break. Good luck getting ready for state!
Your son,
Elder Collier
