This week has been pretty good! Things are going very well here in Youngstown, I hope I never leave. Elder McInnes and I are having so much fun being companions! In interviews with President Stratford yesterday, I told him that I would not mind being here for 6 months and being companions with Elder McInnes for 3 transfers. That's how much I love this place!
On Thursday, we had the opportunity to go on exchanges with the Assistants. I had the great opportunity to go with Elder Winland. He is a fantastic missionary and I had a great time. The highlight of the day was when we were in South Youngstown which is a pretty sketchy part of town. We started talking to this group of guys that were walking around. We taught part of the Plan of Salvation to this guy named Jonny and he really enjoyed it. He told us that this part of town needs better influences. After we were done teaching him we balled up with him and his Squad. It was a lot of fun and Elder Winland is very good at basketball. After we played with them they told us that we have a g pass, and that they will make sure no one messes with us in South Youngstown. I have never received a g pass before so I feel pretty accomplished.
Yesterday Elder McInnes and I got to tour some apartments that the mission is considering placing new missionaries in. We are very excited that there will be another set of missionaries in our area next transfer! We have been scrambling to teach all the people in this huge area so another set will be very helpful. They will cover the Pennsylvania side of our area most likely.
I love this area, I love these people, I love this work, and I love this gospel! Things are going great.
I love you Mom!
Your son,
Elder Collier
