I haven't written an email for the blog since last year! (Those jokes will never get old)
This week we said goodbye to Elder Olsen. On January 2nd we woke up at 5:00 and got ready and dropped him off at the mission home and President and Sister Stratford took him to the airport! It was sad to say goodbye to him but I'm sure he is really happy with his family. Elder Smoot and I have been having a good time with it just being us. He's a good guy. That same day we come back to the mission home at 9:30 for MLC. I really enjoy MLC. Plus I got to see Elder McInnes again! That was good. I've missed that guy.
On Thursday I got to go on an exchange with Elder Oettli! Yep, he's a district leader in the same zone as me again! It was fun to go on another exchange with him. We were able to deliver a Book of Mormon to this guy that speaks Spanish and refer him to the Spanish Elders. Hopefully it all works out for him to be taught.
On Saturday we went on another exchange. I went to Polaris with Elder Reed. Elder Smoot got to go with my previous companion Elder Johnson. I was sad I couldn't go with him but I was very happy to see him! I've missed the guy! Elder Reed and I had a great day. We tracted this apartment complex and we weren't having hardly any success. But the last 2 doors we knocked on we were able to teach the message of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the doorstep! It was a really great experience. The Lord blesses us when we put in the effort and show our faith.
On Sunday night Elder Smoot and I were able to find 3 new people to teach. We talked to sooooooo many people last night and hardly anyone wanted to talk to us. It was really discouraging. But then the Lord blessed us at the very end and we were able to find 3 people that were prepared by the Lord to teach! It was great!
Well that's about it! Next week should be more exciting. We have a really busy one planned so stay tuned!
I love you Mom!
Your son,
Elder Collier
