Week 59

Whats up y´all.. Another fast week down, we saw a couple miracles this week so that was nice. It was needed! Alright, I´ll get this goin.. 1.  How are you settling in with Elder Bybee?  His mom seems like a nice gal.  We have been in contact a couple of times on Facebook this past Monday. He´s a way awesome guy! I´m glad to be comps with him, we get along super well and are both car nuts! He´s been bringin back old feelings for the classics! So Dad, you better keep that old truck! We gots ourselves a project! :D Anyways, yeah Elder Bybee is a stud. I miss Elder Wilding a lot, but my new comp is awesome too. 2.  What was your most favorite experience this past week? We found some people that are ready to get baptized! 2 of them are the kids of a member. They were going to get baptized a couple years ago, but the missionaries were taken out of the little city (Artigas) so they couldn´t do it. But they´re going to get baptized on June 9th! Them and another guy who is dating the sister that teaches Seminary. His name is Felipe and he´s a golden investigator! I know he´s super ready to accept the Gospel. We´re way excited for him! 3.  Who are your ZL's?  I ask because I might know some of their mom's through our missionary mom group on fb.  Can you tell me the names of the guys in your District as well? Elder Pastul from El Salvador is one of them, and Elder Sievers from Orem is his comp. I really like them. I miss my old zone leaders though.. Elder Richards and Elder Hatch! They were awesome. My district has 6 Elders in it.. Elder Bybee and I, Elder LaFaye and Elder Schouten (the new DL), and the zone leaders. Its a good district. 4.  How was church yesterday? It was good.. We had 13 people! It was a pretty good turnout even though it rained. The speakers didn´t show up, so guess who got to speak for 14 weeks in a row... The Elders!! It was good though, its just helping my people/public speaking skills! No one here wants to look at the speaker when he´s up, they all look at the ground. So you gotta come up with ways to keep their attention. It´s kind of a challenge during Sacrament meeting because you have to be reverent! Anywheys! Jorge is getting closer and closer to baptism.. He was scared of his grandma at first, but now we have her support. Now we just gotta get his mom! She´s coming from Argentina, so we´re gonna start teaching her. The only problem is we don´t know when she´s coming.. But its all good! He´s gonna get baptized! We had a Family Home Evening with him and his family last night.. We watched the Restoration movie and made pancakes. They LOVED the pancakes because of the syrup. It was fun! Nothing else really exciting happened this week, it was just a normal week.. Sorry! That´s pretty much it. I didn´t take any pictures this week either /: But I will this week! Can you email me a couple pictures of the old Ford? I wanna show my companion. That would be awesome! Also of Clayton´s Del Sol (if he still has it..) Welp, thats pretty much all I got! I know this is the true church, I don´t have a single doubt about it. I know God lives and that He loves us and knows every one of our needs. We can be blessed, we just have to ask and we will receive. We have that promise. I love you!! Elder Colby Dane Heiner
