BYU Fan

Here is Elder Connole doing a service project on the day of BYU's first football game of the season. This was his idea of being a true blue fan. lol

Today I had all natural apple pie for breakfast hehe

Thanks to Dad for the amazing sports updates! I´m excited for BYU and the Cards and the Dbacks that everything is getting better! My comp was pretty pumped too, being from AZ and all. Max Hall went to his highschool but he never met him, too young lol.

So Elder Grow and I have been trying really hard to apply what they have been teaching us lately, which is basically find more people and put more baptismal dates. This week we found 25 new people and we put 17 baptismal dates! So in total we have 22 people preparing to be baptized, some are a lot closer than others, ie some need to get married , others go to church, others just need to pray about it, but we are pretty excited about all of it.

We´ve been working with Yason a lot to try to get his grades up and to be more obedient with his parents, but he didn´t come to church on sunday because he just didn´t get ready on time to go so that was kind of a bummer. But we are still going to work with him a lot to get him ready to go.

We have another teenaged girl, I don´t know if Í´ve told you about her. She was Catholic but never really felt like God was there and she has been asking why God just left humanity alone. She also has a bajillion questions some of them weird, some of them good. but basically she loves the Church because God does talk to us, and we have answeres to her questions. She told us that she feels like the Church is true but still has some questions. Her baptismal date is for the 20th, which is a sacred day for missionaries (AKA P-day) but I´d much rather have a baptism than a full p-day.

My companion has told me that he is going home next week. Basically because he just doesn´t want to be here. and he´s really frustated that he already isn´t home. So i´ve been trying to do everything to get him excited about being a missionary but his mind is set and he´s going home. So basically I´m gonna be by myself for 4 weeks without a comp.

Love you all and I´ll send off letters to you next week
