Hey Mom!
Tomorrow is transfers and from the subject of this email you are probably assuming that I am staying for another transfer. If that is the case then you are correct. I am staying another transfer.
Elder Dixon, on the other hand, is not staying another transfer. He is being sent to Hilliard Ohio to be one of the Zone leaders over the Columbus Zone. I'm pretty bummed that I only got one transfer with him but that's the way things go!
My new companion will be Elder McInnes. I don't know him at all but I hear he is a really good guy so I'm excited to meet him! It should be good.
So Letricia finished the Book of Mormon! It only took her 5 days. She loves it and She knows that it's true. She is the best. She will be baptized pretty soon! We also started teaching some other people that live in her apartment complex. 
Do you remember me talking about a guy named Tyler in my first email since being in Youngstown? Well on the first Sunday of me being here we met this guy named Tyler and taught him about the restoration. He loved it and the spirit was so strong in that lesson. He had been searching for God and was happy that he was finding Him. We set up a time to meet with him that upcoming Thursday. We had been in contact with him over text and he was reading the Book of Mormon but then Thursday came around and we texted him and he blocked our number. So we stopped by anyway for our appointment but no one was home. We were pretty disappointed about that but Elder Dixon and I both had the feeling that he would reach out to us sometime. We tried contacting him here and there throughout the transfer with no luck. But then on Sunday one of the members of the ward asked us if we taught a guy named Tyler! And we said yes! Turns out he had met Tyler and his wife the day before and the subject of religion came up and Brother Clark told him what church he goes to and Tyler asked if he knew the Elders! Brother Clark said yes and Tyler told him that he had met with us and really felt like he finally found the truth but then right after that his phone broke and he lost all his contacts and had been trying to get a hold of us but couldn't figure out how to. And so Brother Clark gave him our number and now we are in contact with him again!! It was a miracle! The Lord led them together so we could get back in contact. We are going to be meeting with him and his wife tomorrow and I am so excited. Great things are happening here in Youngstown.
We have a few more people we are teaching that are progressing toward baptism. We have also faced some opposition lately with people showing us Anti Mormon things and stuff like that. I was able to bear my testimony very boldly of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and that I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that Jesus Christ called him to do that. The Book of Mormon is true and has brought my closer to my Savior, there isn't anything that someone can say that can convince me otherwise.
I hope you have a great week! I love you!
Your son,
Elder Collier
