Working Hard

     Bel Air is sweet! I’m lovin it, having a good time, plugging in the work and trying to lose myself in the work. I have seen many miracles here in Bynum Run, as I said in my other email, Alma 26:12. Elder Selk and I have been knocking "no soliciting" apartments and that has been working so well. We have 8 investigators now and solid potentials. Dee and Maria are excited about their baptism December 2nd and we got Dee some sweet church clothes!! We are excited for them. We are going over every day this week to their house to make sure they are ready! I will try and send a picture of them next week. We are just trying to get as many people to teach and are out finding. Diligence to the mission rules translate to the work very much so. Elder Selk and I are having a blast and getting along great.  On Thanksgiving we will go rake this house with tons of leaves with the youth in the ward. Then go to the Poultons who are soooo sweet for lunch from 3-6. And then I got permission from my President for the Lowers to take us to dinner!!! So I am soo excited for that!!! Well hope y'all are doing great!! I will send a story next week. Betty Horn- we knocked her house last night, meanest lady ever!!! Yelling at us… hahaha  but we ended up talking with her for 10 minutes, we ended up taking a picture with her and she wanted a hug hahah so we are going back this week. Hahaha good times!!! love y'all!!!

Finding People!

 Things are going amazing here in Bynum Run!!! I will just tell about this week. Last Sunday was chill. Monday we shopped and did some errands. Tuesday was Halloween. We had district meeting and then we went out and tracted till 5. Then we ate at the Secrests. After we went to the church and balled. (I am still hitting my threes... watch out pbrown and lando) haha then we exchanged. So after Elder Stone and I went back to Winters Run. We went to bed and woke up at 6:30. Right at 6:30 Elder Stone yells, "LETS GO" hahahah he is an amazing missionary! We balled out and got 2 new investigators and 10 potentials! It was sooo fun!!  Thursday we woke up and Elder Selk and Coombs came and picked us up and we drove to zone conference. Zone conference was crazy good and we were pumped after. So this is where the week gets crazy!!! So two weeks ago we tracted into this guy named Tom. He said to come back. Thursday night Elder Selk and I just were like, alright lets ball out now and rely more on the Lord. So Thursday night we had an amazing lesson with Tom. Committed him to read, pray, come to church, and be baptized later!! It was amazing and I taught about the restoration. Also that night we found tons of potentials. Then we woke up Friday on a high. We met this lady named Maria who we set up an appointment with the next day. Friday we found lots of people. So Saturday we did service for the Browns and moved some things for them. After, we found some more people. Then at night we had an appointment with Maria. And her husband came named D. It was a way sick lesson. They were super excited and wanted to get baptized. So we committed them for Dec 2! hahah!! and to come to church. So that was sooo sick!! So Sunday comes and Danny, Tom, Maria, D and their son came to church. Hahah crazy!! It was a sweet time, they liked it and we are visiting with them this week!! Also taught Danny after church and hopefully by next week we will have a for sure date for him. Also found 15 potentials since Thursday night!!! So the Lord has really blessed the area and I am loving it here! I’m getting my Christmas spirit on early this year. So the Lord is real everyone. Alma 37:12- Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.
I’m excited for this week. Love you guys and have a good week!
