Hey everyone, hope you are all having a great week. There has been quite a bit of events that happened this past week including Transfers. So I am staying in Gilmer for my final Transfer and Elder Riley is going to be my final Companion. He is from West Jordan, Utah and he has been out for 4 months now so I am Greenie Breaking again. Anyways we had a lot of fun going to and from Transfers. We started doing Riddles on the Car Ride to Frisco Texas. I was really hoping we would stop by Laynes but unfortunately we didn't get the chance to do that. Oh well, I will have to go by another time. The Car ride is always long going to transfers but the experience is a lot of fun. That is something I have realized as a missionary is that you can make Car rides super entertaining.
On Wednesday we went over to an older couples house who were tracked into last week. They have a ton of Basset Hounds over there and explained to us that they Show Dogs at events. When we asked them what they knew about the church they told us that they have both read the Book of Mormon before and have even done their own Family History. When we asked if they have been able to read from the Book of Mormon since last week the Wife told us she has read the entire first book of Nephi which is pretty amazing. They are open to meeting with us and I hope that they will keep more commitments up to the point of Baptism. We were also able to meet with Gary Bradshaw again this past week and he is really starting to understand the Gospel. We taught him with the Sallings again about the Plan of Salvation and it is making sense to him at this moment. Although he won't be able to be Baptized this year I am very hopeful that it will happen next month. I am so excited to be here for another transfer and to finish off my mission in Gilmer.
One other thing I wanted to share is that there was one point this week where we were tracting out in the Country and of course when you are tracting out in the country you park you car somewhere. That is what we did and while we were knocking doors someone saw us and said that he was worried. We asked why he was worried and he said that his Father in law called the cops because he saw our Car parked and wasn't sure who it was. We didn't think much of it so we went out and knocked a couple more houses in the area. As we drove off we passed by a Cop car and thought we got away with it. However after driving down the road a little bit more we had another Cop car follow right behind us and then after about a Minute he pulled us over. He got out of his car and talked with us. It turned out to be a member so he understood what we were up to. I am excited to see what more events will unfold this next Transfer. Finally we went to Bubbas with the Zone Leaders on Saturday. I got the Monster Burger and I think the picture best describes this beast. Anyways I hope you all have a great day and I'll talk to you again soon!
