It's been another good week here in Dublin. I feel a lot better now than I did last week. I was sick for most of the week but I'm fine now! I feel great.
There were zone conferences up in the northern zones last week so Elder Smoot and I were in charge of watching President and Sister Stratford's dog Biscuit! We only live 15 minutes away from the mission home so that was our assignment. Since we are the closest zone leaders to the mission home we are basically the assistants to the assistants haha! President and the mission office ask us to run a lot of errands. It's fun though. We stayed the night in the mission home Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night. It was a lot of fun. Friday I got sicker again so it was pretty rough but Biscuit could tell that I wasn't feeling well so she came over to comfort me. It was adorable haha. I still love Rushmore more though!
We had a lot of success over Facebook this week. We were able find this guy on the other side of Columbus. He is so cool. He is from Liberia! We were messaging him and talked to him about the Book of Mormon and he wanted one! The missionaries that are in his area went over to deliver it and turns out he has a best friend still in Liberia that's a member of the Church! He was excited to finally meet missionaries and get a Book of Mormon and he said he wants to be baptized! He had the missionaries take a video of him holding the Book of Mormon and telling his friend from Liberia and he sent it to him. It was definitely a miracle!
Yesterday I was able to attend the YSA ward again. One of the people we are teaching wanted to try out the YSA ward in Columbus. I asked my buddy Mason who I taught when I was there to give all of us a ride down there. It was so good to see him again. First time in almost a year since I've seen him. I love that kid. I got to see a lot of people I knew from campus. And I got to see two of my previous companions that are serving there now! Elder Morse and Elder Madsen. They are studs. Elder Morse and I served on campus together and so it was funny that people saw us there together again.
Well, those are the highlights of the week! I know that living the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings enduring peace and Joy into our lives.
I love you so much Mom! Thanks for the birthday package!
Your son,
Elder Collier
