Week 68- Arvada is hopping

This week we found 2 new investigators not potentials but those now actually investigating. They both came to church.  Caleb  is 13 and a foster kid. They are both solid referrals we got from missionaries in the same and different missions. Super stoked. Its funny because I have only baptized off of member referrals or referrals in general. I think I told you last week that someone me and Elder Bird found a long time ago got baptized so that's awesome. But it was super exciting for all this to happen this week. Also we have a part member family that has 6 kids and the husband who is the non member wants us to go over and teach him. Elder beck and I are also going to start teaching this guy named Tom he has 3 kids and wants to meet. And now we found another part member family and they just talked to the bishop and want us to come by so we have so much work now it is such a blessing from the Lord.

Me and elder Beck have been having so much fun! His mom sent us Chicago Bulls gear so now I have more clothes and another hat! The pictures I sent are of us doing service for the city of Aravada.  We collected leaves ripped them open and dumped them in huge piles so it was pretty fun. We did it with the whole zone. We did it 3 weeks in a row and now its over so we can't do it anymore.

I really don't need much and don't want you to spend a ton. My Christmas gift is honestly seeing you and dad and the girls. Oh maybe a UVU sweatshirt I don't have a sweatshirt. The BYU one got small and shrunk and got super dirty so I had to chuck it. So I don't have a sweatshirt. 

I watched the face to face with Elder Oaks and Ballard. It was so good, you should watch it sometime. Really good questions but really good answers! 

I don't have much else just the work is moving forward! Thanksgiving we are eating at 2 locations. the Ellis's and the Reynolds. we are bowling in the morning and football later and then having a meeting from 7-9:30. But that's my week!

Love you so much.   Have a great Thanksgiving. I'm so grateful for you and dad and all the money and support and love that you show me. I'm grateful to have two caring parents. I'm grateful that I have been raised in the Gospel Of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for this chance to serve the lord for 2 years. Probably the best decision I have ever made! I can't wait for the exciting things to come! Love you Izzy and Avery thanks for being the sweetest and kindest sisters in the world.   I love you both so so much and I can't wait to see you!

Love Elder Brown
