Cut hair for the rest of my life…

     Man it was a good week! I'm just now getting use to the “city” which really isn’t a city if you compare to Chicago or Phoenix but to me it’s a city and one nice thing about it is I'm no longer biking like this /\/\/\/\/\ but more like this __________________  so that is a wonderful tender mercy, and also I have come from a higher elevation so it makes it even easier.
     This week I don’t really have any funny story besides elder Conner’s tried to cut his own hair and I'm just getting ready for the day when I hear “ELDER… I need your help..” well it turns out the he was doing a #8 on top and a #2 on the sides but ended up putting a line of the two really high on his head, so after a little of laughing together about it I tried to fix it and did a good job too, so I have now decided that I'm going to forget basketball and missionary work and just cut hair for the rest of my life………. Joking ha ha.

We have 3 baptisms coming up this month and one of them is for the 31^st and it is with Crystal. She is in her 20's and was invited to hear from us by a member in their home and we have taught her 3 times and she has come to church twice (she couldn’t come yesterday because she had work and she was really sad) but she just wants to know the truth and had been reading a lot and praying as well. It was really cool how she described her answer, she said that she was praying and she didn’t get an answer that was saying “yes this is true”  but as she started to read there was no feeling that this was wrong and she just kept reading and it felt good. Then in the next lesson we invited her to be baptized on the 31^st and she got scared but as we talked she said she would and then she prayed and that scary feeling went away and it was replaced with peace. Yesterday we taught about the doctor of Christ and also about her reading and praying. It was so great it was like she had read a book with all the answers to the questions that the missionary have. As we were teaching she was talking about all this stuff and it felt almost to good to be true. The Lord has really prepared her for his gospel.

Another investigator who has been taught for a while is best friends with a resent convert of about 2 weeks is doing really well right now as we were able to find out the thing that was holding her back was that she is afraid of water...like really scared of it. As we talked she decided that she needed to put her trust in the Lord and just do it! And she is getting baptized on the 24^th =)

I am learning a lot. It does seem weird not having to call in safe every night but to be the one to have people calling me to tell me they are safe…. Its just different. Well I got to go and I hope you all stay safe and have a great week!!! Take care. Love

 ELDER MAUGHAN!!
