A baptism set!

Goodmorning Everyone!

It's a perfect day here in Indiana. Blue skies and a high of only 75. Thats how the past few days have been here and it feels amazing. But on tuesday and wednesday it rained a ton, and we got soaked haha. I went and bought fenders for my bike cuz the tires were flipping up water on my backside. So now my bike looks super sweet.

  Earlier this week i guess it was national pirate day. We found out that if you went into Krispy Cream dount dressed as a pirate they would give you a dozen free donuts! So my companion and i and the zone leaders borrowed some pirate clothes from a members house and went and got 4 boxes of free donuts. We looked like idiots but it was worth it. So many delicious donuts. Thats why we rode so many miles this week or else we would have gotten fat.

  This week and been pretty good. Ed went about a week without drinking, which is really good for him. He was so amazed at how much energy he had, he was cleaning his house and his yard and he reads a lot better when hes not drunk. It'll be a long road before he can be baptised but im hoping ill still be here when that comes around.

  We have a few new investigators and most of them seem pretty promising. We set a Baptism date for a husband and wife last night for the 20th of October. It was my first time actually saying the Baptism question to somebody and it felt amazing. My whole body was tingling and it felt like i wasn't the one speaking but like it was something else speaking through me, the Holy Ghost of course. 

  We've done quite a bit of riding and tracting this week. Did over 20 miles yesterday of riding our bikes. We just ride around and whoever we see outside we go and talk to. We find its a lot better because when we're tracting people will just look out their window and walk away without opening the door. And literally every single house we go to has a dog and as soon as we knock the dog is barking its head off at us and then if someone does answer the door they are trying to keep the dog inside and they just don't want to listen to us.

  Oh and tomorrow our zone gets to go to the temple! President Woodbury wants everyone to see the new video sotomorrow its our turn to go to the temple. I don't think i've ever been more excited to go to the temple. Its going to be awesome. It's a 2 hour drive to Louisville but it'll be worth it.

  So over all this week has been great and im loving it! I've learned that the things that we pray and ask for don't always come right away but the lord will answer them and we just need to be patient. Time is going by so fast and i can't believe it's already been a month since i went into the MTC!

I love you all!
