Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Or Happy Arizonans Birthday!!

Well this week has been good and very interesting all at the same time. Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Or Happy Arizonans birthday!! Either way happy day! Man holidays feel so different on a mission and with all that has happened in the last 5 weeks in Roxboro… this transfer is almost over already and Elder Moore likes to point out that I've been out for 8 months now and I have to use two hands to show it, so I started to count in ASL so it can all be done on one hand and I don’t feel so old….. it really has been going by fast.

 Its getting hotter here in the 50’s and 60’s so that means summer is on its wayL then its my birthdayJ yay, but I hope by then I'm back in an area with a car…. No more------------------ (that’s the bike trail that dad made up) but then I can be like Tim and be ==================== with a car haha those where the days.

So this week a lot of investigators lost their baptism dates because they didn’t come to church or they will not get married. Then we haven’t been able to teach many of them because of the flu which has hit really hard here. It makes it a little hard. But then work is going great we are getting more referrals from members every week, and next Sunday the branch is going to call 12 new branch missionaries! So the branch is getting ready to do some great things and Satan is working really hard. It is just so funny to see all the things going on, the good and bad and how much we are protected. But we had an "R"eferral to see some people that had just moved in and when we went over there they were very nice and we set a time to teach. There were three of them there two were boy (20) and girl friend (18) (they had just moved in together) and there friend who was 18 and had her new born. The lesson was very…. Different than anyone I had ever had before. We talked about everything: the restoration, plan of salvation, gospel of Jesus Christ, church, word of wisdom, and law of chastity (we talked about that a lot) it was way fun and they were asking us a lot of questions. I found some of the questions weird but it was a very good lesson. They want to learn more about what God wants them to do. We have another lesson with them tonight. 

 Haha missionary work is so fun because you can never really know what’s going to happen in a day that you’ll be able to write home about haha.

Well I got to go I hope you all take care and stay safe wherever you are and remember I love you!
