Sept 19

Hey Yall!

    This week has flown by so fast! It’s been hot and humid and all sorts of sweaty. We had our zone conference on Tuesday in Lawton. That was so good! President Mansell taught us about change and how we can allow ourselves to change. Then he also taught us about personalities and how to adapt our teaching to different personality types. I think that it was very interesting and not really a common thing to talk about but also very helpful!

   The rest of the week was really good though. Lots of miracles and lots of work to be done! We are building up our teaching pool more and more every day. It’s awesome to see how the Lord directs us in all that we do! We also get lots of referrals from members and the church headquarters. That makes it nice and easy for us too! It’s amazing to see how these people are so prepared and willing to accept the gospel!

   We got the cops called on us Wednesday. That’s all I’m gonna say about that.

   Then on Saturday we were invited to go to the Shepard Air Force Base Air Show! We have a member of the ward here that is a pilot and was flying in it! Also the U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds were flying in it too! For all yall who don’t know who the Thunderbirds are, they are a United States Air Force Team of some of the best pilots in the country. They fly the F16 fighter jet and do all sorts of crazy stuff! Really amazing maneuvers and tricks. Some things that are really scary too haha. But that was super awesome to see. Those jets are so loud it’s not even funny! It was super cool to see that and be there as a part of it! There were plenty of people to talk to as well! It was so cool! 

   Then we got to go to the sister’s baptism that night! They have been working with a guy named Erick and he was baptized after a year and a half of meeting with the missionaries! That was a really neat experience for sure! All is well here and the work is hastening! We are super busy and there doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done. Sorry if these emails are lame but I can just tell you in person in a few weeks (: Love yall!
