last week

HEY HEY HEY!! So thanks for the inspiring words mom. You know I’m just gonna kill it this last week. That’s how we do it in the Denver South mission, finish hard. I usually don’t run distance races as hard as I can just to walk the last 10 feet. I try not to get a brake away in football and stop on the 5 yard line and wait for everyone to catch up, haha. So I think I’ll just keep working, talking with everyone, knocking on doors, you know mission stuff until President Woodley takes my tag. . . I must warn him though, I’m pretty quick and he's gonna have to catch me to take it. . . or have God on his side or something . . . haha! So no worries about me, I finish strong.
So this week was very eventful.
Saturday night we had a lesson with one of our investigators named Aaron. He’s a stud. So we go to Brother McIntosh’s home and have a lesson. We read through 3 Nephi 11 and all is well and the spirit is strong then out of the middle of nowhere he says "I’m moving Monday to South Dakota. . . . What? haha. That was our response. So we were like oh that’s cool playing it off like it was no big deal when really inside we were screaming and jumping up and down trying to convince him to stay. . . haha I’m sure you could picture it. Then both Elder Allred and I at the same time just got this feeling like it would all be alright. So it was cool. Well later on in the lesson we committed him to be baptized that next day, hahaha. For those whole don’t know there is a little bit more preparation that goes into it than that . . . like planning it, bap interview, letting the ward know, having time to confirm. . .. you know small details like that.
