So sorry I haven't written in a couple weeks, but it's been super busy these last couple of p-days.

This last week has been quite exciting! We had a couple baptisms and it's amazing to see the changes that have happened in their lives because they have embraced the Gospel. Our bishop baptized them, and Elder Clark assisted in the baptismal font.

There's been a lot of work on keeping the companionship running smoothly, and it will all change soon because one of my companions, Elder Clark, will be going home on Halloween.
Because we've baptized almost all of our investigators, we have fewer people left to teach. We're going to start focusing with our bishop on people who are ready to go to the temple. The temple (The House of the Lord) has some of the greatest blessings this life has to offer, and many people in this world have not had the opportunity to partake of those blessings. We have several people in our ward who are close to going to the temple, but have not yet made it.

There are lots of changes that will be happening in this ward in the next couple weeks. Elder Clark is going home, transfers are in two weeks, and we think that the ward is going to be changing boundaries. That will change a lot of our work in the area.

I thank you for all your support and wish you all the best! Oh and Happy Halloween!

Hello again everyone!

Last week has been so good.

General Conference was wonderful and I totally guessed Elder Rasband, but I didn't even get close to the others. They each will be a wonderful addition to the Quorum of Twelve Apostles. If you didn’t get a chance to watch it, then watch it! If you did watch it, then do it again!

We've taught tons of lessons and several of our recent converts will be going to the temple this Thursday to do baptisms for the dead. It's so exciting to see them progress and prepare themselves to go to the Lord's house!

Our companionship is going great and we're doing tons of stuff. We're one of the busiest companionships in the entire mission! There's so much to do and it's hard to get it all done sometimes, if only there were more hours is a day.

So sorry, but this week's letter's is a little short, but I hope you all have a wonderful week!
