Thank you for sending the pants! I am excited to get them. It sounds like you have had a good week. I am glad to hear that Rushmore is still a doofus. I wouldn't want him any other way. I am excited to hear how State goes! That's so crazy that Jonny is done with his first semester of college and that He is getting married soon! Can you believe that I am 9 months into my mission? Avery hits her halfway mark tomorrow. Time flies. I get along great with Elder Johnson! He is a great missionary.
Oh and sorry about the Facebook live music devotional, it got cancelled. I told you about it and then the next day they told me it was cancelled and I forgot to tell you last week. I don't know if it is getting rescheduled or not. I'm sorry about that! I was excited to do it.
This week has been pretty good!
On Thursday we had district meeting and then we helped Elder Dooley and Elder Watkins move. They moved into a different apartment. That was some fun times. It is insane the stuff that is left in missionary apartments. So many old things that you don't need. There were pamphlets from the 90's still there. We had a lesson that day that went pretty well. A priest in the ward came out with us named Brennan. He is way cool.
On Friday we had a good day as well! We taught Ash and that went well. She has been reading the Book of Mormon and told us her favorite verse so far. It's been great teaching her so far.
Saturday we met some interesting people walking around main street Johnstown. We went to the church to take down chairs after an activity days event happened. Elder Johnson and I took a picture in front of the rose background and it is a pretty good picture.
Sunday was good as always. We got to help out in a youth Sunday school class. A bunch of people joined the ward that are here for the summer as salesman. We had dinner with some of them. They are way cool. It felt like serving on campus again because they are around our age. That evening we had a quad stake missionary fireside. Our zone sang as a missionary choir. It was a great fireside! Two invrstigators that are getting baptized this upcoming saturday bore their testimonies. That was really cool to hear. President Stratford spoke and so did President Birch the stake President of the Columbus East stake. President Birch is one of the nicest people I have ever met. You can feel pure Christlike love whenever you talk to that man. It is incredible. After the fireside I talked with the senior missionary couple that is serving in Cambridge Ohio right now. They are from Salem, Oregon! Turns out they served in the temple for 12 years and know Grandma and Grandpa! That was really cool to connect with them that way. They love Grandma and Grandpa. Who doesn't? Their names are Elder and Sister Gray. Elder Gray is actually serving as the branch President in Cambridge right now!
Monday was good. We did a lot of service. We posted on a Johnstown Facebook group offering service and people took us up on the offer, it was pretty great! We also met a really cool guy tracting that evening. He told us all about how he built his porch. It was impressive.
Yesterday was good as well. Nothing too exciting happened but sometimes that's how days go! Overall it was a good week.
I love you mom! Thank you for all that you do for me. Good luck with state!
Your son,
Elder Collier
