Hey guys!
Elder Tilley and I
had a great week. We were able to take our investigator Chris to a baptism in a
near by ward because elder Tilley was the elder who began teaching her so we
got to go and bring him. Afterwards we had a sweet lesson with him and when the
spirit was super strong we invited him to be baptized and he knew that he
really wanted to, so he is scheduled for the 22 of February because we have
some stuff to work on with him, like the word of wisdom. But no biggie, the spirit
can do all things! Hopefully his girlfriend and friend who are doing awesome
and taking the lessons will get baptized too! I sadly will probably will not be
able to see it though because I am 90 percent sure I am getting transferred.
But oh well, it doesn’t matter. I hope you all had a good week. I dont know
about you but I am sooooo done with this cold weather. I am ready for it to
warm up! I was bummed to here that the Niners lost but I am glad the Broncos
are. I love you guys very much, I am
excited for the package and letter! Have an awesome week!

My knowledge of the
Gospel has just grown tremendously, I have also just mainly learned about people
which are super important in missionary work. Missionaries, [I know] aren’t so robotic anymore. You have to read
people with help from the spirit and just teach to there needs and ask question
to help them teach themselves.
Briefly, this week
has been very good, our investigators who chewed tobacco during every lesson we
have taught so far all committed to live the word of wisdom. Me and elder
Tilley were both super nervous because we didn’t want to lose them as
investigators, we studied and real played it a lot and as we taught them the
spirit was stronger than any lesson I have ever taught or been in. It was a
miracle just to see how the lord has our back. Chris is on date and his two
friends have committed to be baptized but not on a specific day yet. Mission conference was also super awesome this week. S
Gifford Nielson is THE MAN. Btw he is 6'6! But it was an awesome mission
conference, he really talked about how the second coming is coming soon and how
we just need to be the help in the wards and branches to bring others to his
gospel. Another thing he taught that our mission is already focused on is real
growth and about finding those big fist investigators. We could be baptizing
thousands in Baltimore

Dear family,
Had a pretty good
but tough week. We had pretty much no miles this week so we had to walk a lot.
We walked 10 miles one day and my shoes are starting to get decently worn out.
We were able to see our investigators the 3 amigos and
that was really good. We bought them jolley ranchers, gum and mountain dew to
replace there tobacco and coffee. We were also able to go over there house
yesterday with two other friends they invited to watch part of the super bowl
because we were able to get permission from president! I only saw the first
half of the game and I must say it was a joke of a game. But oh well me and
elder tilley had fun with them and the had steak and shrimp for us, so that was
pretty sweet. The weather here is terrible. I am so done with this stupid snow
and cold. It snowed a little this morning and our cars got grounded, so we cant
really go anywhere on our preparation day which stinks. I heard we could get up
to 30 inches of snow later this week. I don't know how much more of this crappy
weather I can handle. But anyways I hope you guys had a good week, I liked the
pictures you guys sent of Dad playing Austin [McCombs]
Love,
Wes
