HAPPY FOURTH!

Hey everyone. Hope y'all are having a great fourth. Today for us missionaries, it's an all day p-day for us and our mission president is letting us stay out til' 10pm tonight so we should be able to see at least some fireworks. This past week was super busy as usual. We ended up teaching about 30 lessons and unfortunately haven't found any new investigators yet but we had 2 with a baptismal dates and one of them is due to change because he wants to get baptized sooner. We are taking him on a church tour tomorrow so it should be good for him and his family. We also met with our new mission president this past Friday. His name is President Brent Jay Nelson from Woodburn, Oregon. He and his wife are super excited to serve with us. 

I went on exchanges with Elder Teokotai on Tuesday and it was really fun, just like old times. We went to lunch with one of our bishops in Ririe and he was crazy happy that we went out with him. That exchange was way weird with all the things that happened, but it was a good change to be in a different area for a day, especially with Elder Teokotai. We went to this block party on Saturday and they made us sing karaoke and we sung "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam". It was fund and even had a standing ovation. Yesterday was really good. We had the chance to bear our testimonies in three different wards so we could get to know the people in the stake. We had a lesson with one of our investigators and taught him and his family the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was about a two hour lesson, which is good because they asked a lot of good questions. This morning we went to a breakfast with the 7th ward and we were in charge of cooking the pancakes. Today we are going to a zone activity at six, hanging out and watching Disney movies. Thanks for everything you do! God is Good. Y'all have a safe and good holiday.
