This week was an awesome week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The highlight of my week was definitely the baptism on saturday night which i'll talk about later!!!!!!!!!! on tuesday I got work down in Allen with elder dunbar which was a ton of fun!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so great and we got to talk to a ton of great people!!!!!!!!! Allen is such a great city and I love it so much!!!!!!!!!! We were riding our bikes around the high school and some kids drove past us and yelled something at us and we were going to talk to them but they already drove away!!!!!!!!!! That night we got to go tracting in a neighborhood where the homes were HUGE and the people were very nice!!!!!!!!!! We got to talk to this catholic guy that was very nice and wanted to learn more about the church from us which was great!!!!!!!! Earlier that night Elder Dunbar and I got to be guest speakers at some primary party one of the allen wards were having!!!!!!!!! there were 30 nine and ten year old girls all asking us about missionary work and what we do everyday, some of their questions were HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a lot of them thought that we live in the church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then the rest of the week was great!!!!!!! we are teaching this guy named zack and he is 17 years old!!!!!!! it is so great that he wants to learn more about the church!!!!!!!!!!! he was supposed to come to church yesterday and he didnt, but hopefully he will come this sunday!!!!!!!!! We also have this other really great investigator and her name is Laura!!!!!!!! She smokes a TON so every time we go in her apartment we come out smelling like cigarrettes and I always have to spray myself with febreeze!!!!!!!!! Her daughter is a member of the church but her daughter lives down in Wylie!!!!!!! Laura is so great and she has been learning the gospel very well!!!!!!!! She lives alone with her dog but her apartment is so decorated!!!!!!!!!!! She gave me a winter hat so my ears dont get cold and she gave me a bright orange and yellow safety vest so people can see me while we are riding our bikes!!!!!!!!! I am definitely not going to wear it but its funny that she gave those things to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she didnt come to church yesterday because she currently has red hair and she wants to dye it brown and she didnt want to go to church and have people see her with red hair and she is going to dye it brown this week so hopefully she is at church on sunday!!!!!!!!!! On saturday night we had williams baptism!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so great and he is definitely one of the best nine year olds ever!!!!!!!!!!!! While william was changing his clothes after the baptism part, all the missionaries came up front and sang Joseph Smiths First Prayer and then I recited his account of seeing the first vision!!!!!! it was so spiritual and it went great!!!!!!!!!! other than that we had a great week and I love every minute being a representative of Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope that all of you have awesome weeks and remember that you can do all things through Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
