HAY there family!

Time is just flying by! I cant believe it! another week already?!

So Elder Smith was Dear Johned before i came out to Danville and he has had all his letters and everything. Theres also a sister in our district who wrote off her boyfriend at home, AND.... One of our Assistants to the President got Dear Johned so he gave us all of his stuff as well. Anyways... On Monday last week we went over to our bishops house and had a bonfire where we torched all of their stuff! It was so fun. Probably not as much for all of them, but i enjoyed it. All those memories just turned to ash and blew away with the wind...  Relationships on your mission, right? :)

We have been doing this soccer night on mondays where we invite all our investigators and non-members to play soccer and just try to contact them in a non threatening environment and it has been really fun! And so far its worked out pretty great!

On Friday we were able to do some service... baling hay! haha Sam's friend needed help on his farm so we obviously decided to help him out. And it was way cool, because we got to be farmers for a day! It was tough work lifting bales of hay all day but it was really fun especially catching the hay bales as the shot out of the baler! One time Elder Smith Tried to catch and it totally plowed him over! haha so funny! and then right after that another one shot just over my head but i tried to grab it any way and ended up pulling me down as well. 

Our lesson with Sam and Mikaela went great! but we ended up being there for quite awhile. We also started to teach Her son Jon and he seemed to be taking it in and loving it. so we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it. But then on Sunday we found out from his sister that he probably isnt going to read... We are hoping he comes to our next lesson so we can talk a little bit more about it with him. But on the bright side, we committed them to live the word of wisdom and the next day Sam quit coffee cold turkey! So now when she goes to the donut shop in the morning all she gets is donuts! Haha its awesome! Also Sam and Mikaela came to church again and its been great! The ward loves them and they seem already a part of it! They just need to get baptized, Because that is going Open so many doors for them! You can already see the gospel playing a role in their lives and its amazing! They are the greatest! I want this so bad for them because i know it will bless their lives entirely!

Well thats about all for now. I hope everything is going great at home! Enjoy the new school year! AHH I cant believe school has started! oh well... enjoy ;)
