Happy Early Mother's Day!

Hey Mom!

I can't believe Mother's Day is on Sunday! I am so excited to Skype with you! Does 3:30 my time work for you? That would be 12:30 your time. No one signed up to feed us on Mother's day so we will just call at the church after church is over. And I am okay with Zach and Harrison joining too! 

That is so crazy that Marit and Chandler are married now! And Brittany too. People are growing up. Too bad I wasn't there to give Chandler a jumping high five after the wedding. That's what me and him would do on the sideline every time he scored a goal my sophomore year haha! 

When is Jonny getting married again?  Oh and tell Jonny that a bunch of ladies that go to the Johnstown Independent Baptist Church are excited for his wedding. We help out at the food pantry there every Monday and we walk in on Monday and one lady asked when the wedding was because I've talked about it before haha. They love us it's great. 

Well my week was good! 

Thursday was great! We had district meeting and interviews with President Stratford. I love interviews. President Stratford is the best. I really hope I don't leave the mission. (We will find out about that next transfer by the way). After all that we went on exchanges! I spent the day in Johnstown with Elder Watkins the district leader. He came out a transfer before me and he spent the first 6 months of his mission on campus (I got there right when he got transferred out) so it was fun to talk about campus a little bit. We both had crazy stories to share it was great. He is a great missionary and I learned a lot from him! It was a great day. We had dinner with the Moarefdousts that evening too so that was fun. It's fun to talk to them about Vancouver haha! They are great members, I love them!

Friday we exchanged back and then had weekly planning and had two lessons that day which were really great. Nothing super exciting happened.

Saturday was a normal Saturday except the ward activity that night was a blast! It was the fundraiser for the youth and they had an auction! With a real auctioneer from West Virginia! It was wild. I didnt think it was possible for someone to actually talk that fast. A cake sold for 160 bucks. Crazy! The lady we do service for at the thrift store made a basket to auction off so that was really cool. She helped the youth out!

Sunday was good as always. While sitting in testimony meeting I felt the spirit so strong and I felt an overwhelming gratitude for the members of this ward. I was able to go up and bear my testimony and thank all of them for all they do to help the Missionary work here. I love this ward so much. 

Monday and Tuesday we didn't have anything too exciting happen. Just regular missionary days. We did meet an awesome guy yesterday though named Mike that we are going to start meeting with! I'm excited for that. 

It was a good week! I am so excited to call you on Sunday and talk more about it! I love you Mom! Talk to you soon! 

Your son,

Elder Collier
