That's so exciting that the Men won State! I am so happy for them. And that is so exciting that Jonny and Emily are home. Also I want to see a picture of Rushmore! I think he looks so funny when his hair gets cut.
This week was good! All the days kinda blended together so I won't go from day to day. I'll just talk about the highlights!
We were low on miles for the end of the Month so we were walking a lot. But that was fun because we got to talk to some cool people on the street! We were walking to an investigator's house and we talked to this guy named Vince on the street. He has been struggling with life lately but we were able to testify of Jesus Christ and the hope that He brings.
We met with this older man named Robert this week. He is neighbors with some members. He is a really awesome man. He was telling us that he has been to Salt Lake City! And he said he has even sang with the Mormon tabernacle choir. He said that he watched them rehearse one day and they were singing a song he knew so he decided to sing along so he can say he sang with them. When he said that I couldn't help but think about Mr Iverson singing with the Mormon Tabernacle choir when we watched them rehearse. That was so funny.
We met this guy named Jared this week. One of the nicest guys I have ever met. We were tracting this street and people weren't being very nice. I was getting discouraged and honestly wanted to quit (now I know for sure that was Satan telling me to quit) but we kept going and we knocked on Jared's door. It was only the second time on my mission that someone we knocked into let us in and let us teach. That was really cool. He was so nice and he has a 3 year old son that was so funny. He really wanted to show us his coin collection and so we got to see it after we were done talking with Jared. That was pretty fun.
We got to do service for a library in Croton yesterday. The librarian is the one that gave us a bunch of bread that one day. There are zero members in Croton. Doing service at the library there is the best way for us to be known in the community and people will know that we are normal people. We are going to have faith that teaching opportunities will come from that. I'm sure they will.
Our investigator Ash came to church on Sunday! She really loved it. She even brought her Boyfriend so that was cool! The work in Johnstown is tough but it is coming along!
I love you Mom! Thank you for sending the pants and stuff! I will still be in Johnstown on Mother's day. Transfers are on May 31st.
Your son,
Elder Collier
