That's so exciting that Zach and Skyla are having a boy! I'm gonna be Uncle Sam times 3 now. Super cool. I knew he was gonna name him Parley! I like that name a lot.
I loved your talk Mom! It was amazing. And it is so true. Do you mind if I use that story of me and Jonny in a Facebook post sometime?
This week has been good! Every day blends together so I'll just cover some of the highlights thay I can remember.
Thursday was such a great day. We had district council which is always so much fun. But then the best part was in the evening. We had Book of Mormon class and Paul came!! It was so exciting. He read with all of us and had a great time meeting people. He loves the Book of Mormon and says that he understands it a lot better than the Bible. We are so excited for him as he continues to progress.
Saturday we had a fun ward party for pioneer day! It was a good time and I got to meet lots of people in the ward which was good. I'm in another amazing ward. I'm so excited. After that we had a lesson with this guy named Brandon and his girlfriend Danielle. They are so cool and have a huge desire to change.
Monday I went on exchanges with Elder Kamerath. We spent the day in Marysville. Elder Paul and Elder Gloschat were together and also in Marysville. It was a great day with Elder Kamerath. This is his 3rd transfer in the field and he is doing great. We met some awesome people. We went to dinner at Bob Evans that day and our waitress ended up being a less active member! We got talking to her and she said that she felt like seeing us was a nudge from God telling hee to come back to church and get her family to come back too. That was pretty cool! She lives in the Sisters area so they will help with that one. Latee on in the day we went up to a little town called Richwood. We were able to get in contact with this amazing family that wants to start coming back to church but they both just work all the time. We are going back on Friday to teach them. They are so awesome and I'm excited. Richwood has a sign when you enter and it says "Richwood: where the clock strikes hospitality" and I die laughing every time I see it. It's such a ridiculous slogan. Oh and Elder Gloschat and Elder Paul taught Paul that evening. He told them that he doesn't want to just be a Sunday Christian, he wants to live all the things we are teaching him. He is so prepared and has such a desire to change! I love that man!
Today we had a fun district activity. We played four square, chair soccer and kickball. I love my district!
That basically sums up the exciting parts of the week! I love Marysville!!
I love you Mom, thank you for everything! Oh, and if you send a package sometime could you include a few shirts? Preferably shirts that are blank (if I have any of those) and my shirt that has the pocket with the BYU logo.
Love you!
Your son,
Elder Collier
