I am glad that I just have shoes.

It was a really great week. Pretty crazy at the end. Started off with some exchanges and just a few normal days with lots of street contacting and lessons. We had a lesson with Adam, and he knows he needs to be baptized but his wife and in laws who are members of the community of christ (RLDS) don't want him to be baptized. He wants his family to support him but we hope he can be baptized soon.

We also got a text from Cynthia on Sunday saying she needed to see us. We went over with Brother Carrigan and she was down in the dumps. She is going through cancer right now and said that she wants to just lay down and die pretty much. He gave her a blessing and said she had more work on Earth that she could only complete if she had the gift of the Holy Ghost and pretty much challenged her to be baptized. She has been meeting with the missionaries for years and hasn't been progressing. But right after she stood up and said what do I need to do to be baptized so that was super awesome. The spirit was so strong and I was glad to be a part of it.

During a pickup football game with some kids from the ward, I bust my already broken shoes open so some members gave me a pair to use for the last few weeks. They are pretty funny looking but I am glad that I just have shoes.

We also tried to go to an airport with a ton of cool abandoned planes but when we got there there were a ton of signs that said turn around basically so that was too bad. Sorry for the really short email but it has been a busy day.

Love you all
