Happy anniversary to you and Dad! 34 years, that's amazing. Thank you for being such great parents.
So this week was full of miracles, it was a blast!
On Friday we had exchanges with the Zone leaders in Newark. Most of the day was training me to be a District Leader. We went over my responsibilities and also how to conduct baptismal interviews and things like that. But the evening was full of miracles. I was with Elder Stephens (who trained my buddy Elder Morse) and it was so awesome. We get to this area and we talk to this man and woman that are having a yard sale. We find out that they are siblings and the man actually lives in Johnstown! We had a great conversation with him and set up a time for me and Elder Johnson to meet with him in Johnstown. It was quite the miracle that we were able to find a new investigator in Newark! Then the rest of the evening was so great. We talked to so many people and the spirit was so present in all of the contacts. Elder Stephens and I were both wishing we could have been out working longer! That evening we got to watch the church's Be One devotional and it was so great. I highly suggest watching it if you haven't had the chance to yet. It was incredible and the spirit was so strong. 
Saturday morning we got up early and left Newark to get to our church building to play soccer with some members and an investigator. The investigator's name is Jared and he's so cool. Super good at soccer too. In the evening on Saturday we met this amazing family! We talked with them on their porch and they are looking for a church. The first family that I get to teach on my mission. I'm so happy and so excited. 
Sunday we had church and Jared came. That was sweet. That evening we had a lesson with him in the Argyle's home. It was amazing and he accepted a baptismal date for August 11th. We are so excited for him. Member missionary work brings miracles. 
Monday evening we had a great lesson with that family we are teaching. It's Scott and Andrea and they have 3 kids. We were able to teach the first lesson and it went great and we built a really good relationship with them. Braxton is their oldest son and we shot hoops with him for a bit after the lesson. They are so awesome and I already love them. Words can't describe how happy I am to be teaching a family.
Well those were the highlights of the week! It was a pretty good one. On Friday I am doing my first district meeting so prayers would be appreciated! I am excited though. I love you so much mom. Thank you for everything!
Your son,
Elder Collier
