Last week of the transfer...

Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have the Elder Decker special, "giant french fry". Throw a potato in the microwave for 5 minutes, dip that bad boy in ketchup and boom, giant french fry! Elder Decker is a freaking genius! Just make sure you let it cool down for a bit or it will burn your mouth real good, I learned the hard way!

 This week was pretty crazy, it started with a bed bug scare in our apartment complex. There are 4 apartments and we all share a basement where there are washing machines. Apparently some chick let her friend do his laundry there and he had bed bugs! So everyone was flipping out cleaning like crazy and putting all sorts of chemicals down there. So far we haven't been bitten or anything so we will keep our fingers crossed.

A miracle we had was on Wednesday, was our investigator A (who we haven't been in contact with for over a month) messaged us telling us he was so sorry that he hasn't messaged us and it was because he was super busy. He told us he decided to transfer schools and it has caused a lot of contention with his father. But he said, "I am now fully ready to commit to becoming baptized. The busiest times are past, and I told my soccer coach that I am finished. So I for sure can FaceTime on weekends now. And I am figuring out a way to get my car so I can go to church too. Again I am sorry for being an inconvenience and I apologize. But if you will still have me, I'm 100% ready." So yeah we were freaking pumped about that! We had a lesson with him today and things are going well, he is on track for baptism April 15th!

We had exchanges with the North elders this weekend and it was such a blast being with Elder Taggart. Took me back to the good ol days in the MTC. We did a lot of good work, found some new investigators, taught some people and laughed our heads of all day long. 

On Friday our Ward Mission Leader's daughter was baptized and he asked me to be a witness and to be in the circle for her confirmation. It was a pretty awesome experience. I love brother Taylor and his family, such great people! It's crazy this is the last week of the transfer, can't believe I got elder Gibby 5 weeks ago! We will find out on saturday what is gonna happen. So this weekend should be awesome! Super excited for conference, gonna hear some good words from the prophets!
