Hey! Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

Where do you do your laundry now?

We do our laundry at a member’s house. They do it for us. They’re awesome!

Do you have any plans for your birthday...I know you can't have many plans, but did you get yourself a cake or anything?

Umm kinda... you got the text from Sis. Christensen so that’s pretty much the plan.

I've been wondering, what do you Elders do for service there in Millwood?

Just random stuff. We don’t do too much service. 

Thanks for the update. I did get the package thanks sooooo much!!!! Those things are awesome! You guys are the best!

So this week was actually really good! We had a great lesson with our investigator Mary. She is so solid. We had a great lesson and we put her on date! She is set to be baptized on the 20th of May! That’s really exciting especially because the work has been pretty slow here for a while so that’s one of the highlights for my week!

So the next thing is that we were having dinner at the Christensen’s and we shared a lesson and we asked if they would invite somebody for us to teach in their home and they decided that they would trust us with their deaf sister! So now I have to really brush up on my ASL because they want us to teach a lesson in sign language! So that’s crazy! They’re putting a lot of trust in us. By the way, Elder McKnight knows ASL too. He learned it when he was growing up so he’s pretty fluent. But that’s the most exciting things for this week and also my birthday! So over all it’s been a really good couple of days!

Well I’ll send some pics and try to do better at that...we'll see. But thanks again. Love you all! Talk to ya later!

 Check out this nice house!

 With his birthday gear!

 

We got another text from the Christensen's on Sunday night. They're the same family that fed Colten & his other companion a couple of weeks ago. They fed these two on Sunday night and found out Colten's birthday is this week. They're having them back to eat dinner on Wednesday night to celebrate Colten's birthday. They asked for the recipe of Colten's favorite chocolate cake and also wanted to know what his favorite meal is. Lucky, lucky boy, he's gonna eat salmon this week! People are very nice.
