This week was pretty good for the most part.  

Started off the week with Independence Day Tuesday (which is normally my favorite day of the year) and it was actually pretty good.  This year was definitely better than last year but I am stoked for next years Independence Day! haha  It was like impossible to do any missionary work because everyone was partying but we did have a good time with some members and other missionaries at some BBQ's and trying to OYM people.

Wednesday we did splits with some of the other elders and we were able to contact a lot of really cool people.  

Thursday was a great day!  We got to teach a couple of really good lessons to Michaela and her friend Hailee.  Michaela's lesson went really well and she said she truly wants to find out if this church is actually Jesus Christ's and if it will bless her life so it seems really promising.  
Hayley, the girl I talked about in my email last week, met with us and brought her friend and we had a good lesson.  They are both Catholic but actually wanted to know what we believe so hopefully they'll continue to want to learn. 
That evening we drove to Newport to interview the Newport Elder's investigator for baptism and that went really well.  Newport is beautiful and reminds me a lot of Bandon.  

Friday we met President Orton which was good.  He's the complete opposite of President Russell so we'll see how it goes.  

Saturday we were able to go to Newport again to see the baptism we interviewed for and Bryce, our investigator went with us.  The Jensens and the couple that works in the office drove us out there and we got lunch and stuff so that was fun!  While out there, I found out that two kids i've taught for the past six months just got baptized so that's awesome!!  I was able to skype with them too..

Church was good on Sunday.  The highlight was probably when the Chinese Sister's investigator, Yi, decided to leave church to go buy me frozen yogurt from down the street and bring it to me in class.  lol  She wants me to be her boyfriend and wants to write me when I get home.  lol  
Love You
Stay Solid
