Still Putting My Birthday Present to Use!

Hey Mom! 

Those stories are super cool! I hope Lexi gets to know her well. That would be awesome. And Whitney seeing Tingwei is insane! I love Tingwei so much. 

This week has been really good! It's been a busy P day. We got to go to the temple today (I'm glad you got that text message!) And it was so great. I love the temple and the joy that comes from feeling the Spirit there. We went with Jordan Ellington who is leaving on his mission next Wednesday! He is going to Ecuador. He is an awesome kid. 

We biked a ton this week. We were basically out of miles for the month so we had to use the bikes! Yesterday we biked 12 miles in the rain and it felt like uphill both ways because of how strong the wind was. But it was totally worth it! I am exhausted but it was a good time. 




Paul is still doing amazing. He came to church on Sunday and loved it! He said he felt comfortable there even though he usually isn't comfortable around new people. That was great to hear that he enjoyed it. We had a really powerful lesson with him last night and he told us he doesn't think it's a coincidence we knocked on his door when we did and he now believes that God has something bigger for him planned than what he was doing. Seeing the change in this man makes biking uphill in the rain totally worth it!

We went on exchanges with the Zone leaders on Monday and that was a blast. We were in their area in Dublin. I was with Elder Weekes who was in the Cleveland Mission. He is from Vermont and played soccer at Southern Virginia for a year before his mission. He is a stud. We had a great time together. We met lots of cool people and had an amazing lesson in the evening with this guy named Ryan. He has been searching for truth and claimed to be agnostic but this lesson he changed his mind and considers himself Christian again. It is really cool to see people's faith in Christ increase. 

It has been a great week! I love you Mom! Oh, and could you send me some new blue pants? Mine are falling apart. 

Your son, 
Elder Collier
