New Dad

Hey all! It's been a pretty good/crazy week. Last week we went hiking as a district. We were trying to find a pike of some sorts. We never found it. We found a dead lamb tho, which was better than a pike I think. It was some good.

We found quite a few new friends to work with this week. It has been really good. One man in particular named Tim is super interested. We will be seeing him this week which will be a good time. We are still working with Shaun and he's been to church two weeks in a row now. He is a super good man, it's been fun working with him. 

So M, that dude we've been seeing. He is a good man, but is really struggling with what we're trying to teach. He believes in God, cause he was touched by him. But he doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. He's been trying to discount Jesus Christ when we are with him. So we invited him to a baptism in Oldham on Saturday so he could found out if the stuff were teaching him is really any good. But. He didn't show. Which was sad. There was a baptism for the sisters in our district Sunday morning and he said he'd come to that as well, but didn't come. All good though. Hopefully we can see him soon, he really needs this gospel in his life.

We had a multi zone to welcome president McReynolds this week! And he is absolutely amazing. He is seriously so good. Such a humble man, and it SO refreshing to have him here. I did a baptismal interview for Morgan on Friday. It was really enjoyable. She is great and was super ready for baptism. The sisters have been working with her and she was baptised Sunday morning. Good stuff. (: 

I opened up our phone and this is what I found.

Tuesday we taught at a school. It was a real good time. We taught at bishops daughters class and another class. It was really fun I had never done anything like that before. Then we had a Fourth of July barbecue at the Fletchers. It was the best. They are the best for doing a barbecue for us. We had a water balloon fight as well which was real fun. Good times. (:

Well Elder Charles is leaving tomorrow. Sad day. He is a good lad. We've had some fun. But! My new companion is Elder Devenport, a legend. He was trained by my boy elder Cepeda. Should be really good! I'm really excited.

I've been thinking a lot about the peace that comes from Jesus Christ lately. Even when we're living in a tempest and storms and waves are beating upon us, we can feel peace and calm because of Jesus Christ. Because He is the prince of peace, and the only source of lasting peace. I love you all! Have a great week!
