Well, another deep cleaning day is in the books, so that is good. But this week went good. We had a couple good lessons with Roy who yes, is our serious investigator right now. we have some others but no one coming to church at this point. He also came to church and even payed his tithing. Tuesday was Zone Conference and we just had to talk about talking to everyone and have some practices on it.  They talked about committing people to do things and memorizing more things to use when teaching and lots of other little things like keeping your apartment clean. I then went on exchanges with Elder Clawson who has been out about 10 weeks to Perrysburg, but really just Toledo on the other side of the river is where we stayed most of the time.  We hoped on the bikes Friday and rode into Toledo for most of the day just trying to find people to talk to. I did not speak at the baptism, I just said a prayer and we of course got everything ready for it. At Zone training meeting about a month ago we talked about how we need to use members to take teaching more and to ultimately get referrals because they can get to the people we cant. But we have zone training meeting again this week on Friday too. Your funny story this week is at zone conference we were supposed to memorize the principles of the lessons in order, but one of the companionship's had texted President Brown and asked him a principle and he had said the wrong one, so they brought that up after he was telling us about getting them memorized and it was funny, he was of course a little embarrassed too. It is raining today and we finally got some real fall weather here for a couple days and it was really nice. But another adventurous week for us here. We will just keep chugging along here. I am doing good though, can't really complain about anything that's for sure.

So this week went well, considering we had two baptisms so it would have been tough to have a bad week. i knew I should have brought my camera which had the pictures on it, so I will have to get you those next week. But I do have a couple pictures of Juana and Alvaro's wedding from Elder Taylor, so I will get you those. But as always another busy week for us here, we went on exchanges, I stayed here with Elder Nelson and we found a really awesome new investigator, had the quickest dinner of my mission at a members home, 20 minutes, and interviewed someone getting baptized in the next door ward. We got as much biking in as we could since we are supposed to be riding bikes everyday, and Saturday we again helped a family move furniture and got ready for the baptism while it rained for about 8 hours straight or so. 

We had a Zone Training Meeting already, and it was a lot of planning to get ready for it, but I hope it went well and people learned from it. This week we have Zone conference which is the same thing except President and Sister Brown, the assistants, and some of the Senior office missionaries come and talk as well. We also don't have to do as much planning for that because President Brown is in charge. But it is going good here for us still. It is cooling down a little which is nice, until it gets too cold, which you never know here maybe that is only a week or two away. We have one other man named Roy who we are working with pretty seriously, he has a date and he comes to church pretty much every week,  but this week it has been great to see that faith means more than belief, but really does mean doing something. Many think thinking about something hard enough and it just magically appears, but as we know that isn't the case at all. I hope you have a great week.

So this week was another good week for us. Mikayla and Chris are getting all ready and excited to be baptized. There are some others, like a man named Roy who are doing well also.  I am sorry, today might be a little shorter of an email because Labor Day was Monday, and we were busy yesterday, and right now I am on exchanges with Elder Shwartz in Wausean's area, and Elder Eardley is with Elder Whittaker. I also went on exchanges with Elder Long last week in Bowling Green and did lots of planning for zone training meeting. I have a lot more to do than before  for sure, but it is good and lots of fun as well. I did get the package and Aunt Doris letter, so thanks so much. That was just what i needed. Time really has flow by honestly, all the sudden that was 3 months ago. After you have been out a little while you get more used to it I guess, so you arent as lost, but things are going good for me.  I know a couple of the members, mainly our ward mission leader Brother Insch and his wife. Fall is pretty good here, but yesterday was a pressure cooker, for some reason it heated up a lot and was super humid. Our area is mainly meant for 4 elders, so we cover all the way to downtown, and then way out to the corn fields  as well. It is a pretty big area. Sounds like things are going good and I hope it continues. Have a wonderful week and thanks for all you do.
