Week 9 -Spiritually Edified

Hey Mom! Guess what?  I'm staying this transfer in Arvada 3rd! Elder Merkley has been so good he has been called as a zone leader. He is a good missionary and pushed me really hard. He would leave me out to dry when I stumbled but it was good it taught me to be a better missionary. I'm glad I'm staying and I hope I will continue to do good work.   I just need a tire tread for my bike because it has a giant hole through it. I may spend a lot this transfer because I need a gps, I need a tire tread and now we don't have a car hahaha! My new trainer is Elder Barker. He has only been out for two transfers and I heard he is really awkward  and can't fix anything! great! oh well I'm excited too see what new will come!

Conference was awesome. I was so excited for conference and I actually was able to focus and watch every single session. I feel super spiritually edified! I saw Chase Hendrickson and saw elders on screen in the choir that have been at the MTC for like 10 weeks. They are going to Thailand! Yeah seeing chase singing was so funny!  I'm getting a lot bigger in muscle mass. probably the biggest and ripped I have ever been. I have been lifting every morning for like 6 weeks! When I come back I'm going to be so big! I have grown another inch almost which is weird. I'm like 6' 2 and 1/4! hopefully I can fit in my suits haha! I got Aunt Karen's gift cards! 

oh I do have a funny little story. So there is this crazy guy we met on the street three weeks ago, he had 5 cigarettes between each of his fingers a bottle of booze and he was packing a lip all at the same time walking around talking to himself back and forth outside these apartments. I said to Elder Merkley should we go talk to him and he said yes heck yes! so we go over to him and he just starts going off about how hot it was outside and he said its hot about 50 times in our conversations he started talking at a mile a minute and how he was a "firm believer in Christ and don't forget Santa Clause because you better be on that nice list or you are going to hell." But he was talking about the most random things I was trying not laugh and when we left we started dying. We didn't know where he lived but this week I was on exchanges with Elder Tanner my zone leader and we knocked on this door and what do you know the crazy guy was there and the apartment smelled like leaking battery acid. It was crystal meth, cocaine,  cigs, weed everywhere on his table and everything and he started talking at a mile a minute again and I just busted out laughing and turned the other way so he couldn't see me laughing. After we left he came outside and asked if we wanted our bible back? We said nope keep it. oh my gosh it was the best thing ever hahaha! 

I got the package from the MTC! Wish they found my hat though! I haven't had very much opportunity to sing and play the piano but somebody told me that Elder Barker my new comp sings really well and plays the piano so that should be fun! 

We are going on a hike in the mountains today so I will take pictures there!

Okay I love you mom!! I gotta go talk to you next week❤❤❤❤❤💋
