It was a good week!   We went on exchanges in Marsheltown and got snowed in for 3 days while we were up there ha it was a fun time and luckily we were still able to get a few things done.   Funny story, my comp got hit by a car! Ha ha!  Don't worry he's fine it pretty much just bumped him but he did fly about 10 feet from where he was.  The driver was horrified as you can imagine and it probably didn't help that all 4 of us missionaries were making jokes about it and laughing.  But hey it was funny!   He was ok so it wasn't a big deal.  We had stake conference this weekend and it went well.  Elder Oaks talked to the whole Midwest about missionaries coming in and told the members to step up their game so hopefully that helps. Then on Sunday there was a CES fireside and Elder Bednar and his wife spoke.  It was a great fireside!   Transfers are next week and I think  I'm getting transferred.  We'll find out on Saturday if I am =S.  We've been having a pretty good rise in missionaries coming into the mission and it will continue at least till the end of the year so that's exciting.  We have another baptism this weekend for Matt.  He's doing great and is super excited to be baptized.  We talked yesterday and he mentioned that he was reading the BoM the other day and he said he just felt so good.  He searched for other words to describe what happened but with a tear in his eye all he could get out was that it felt so good! =) Super Awesome!!!!!
