We are teaching a part member family named the iveys and are gonna baptize the son named Bradley he's on date for July 10th we are also teaching another kid named Sam and we put him on date to be baptized on July 3rd! We had interviews with President this week which is always good and we went to this burger place and got this giant burger (picture below) we did some service this week at a food drive and trying to teach myself how to Street contact still but I'm getting better!

Hey! What's up yall? This week has been awesome. On Tuesday we had a missionwide call and President announced that we can street contact now and if we have the vaccine we don't have to wear mask! I was so hyped because I love talking to people and street contacting was something I really wanted to do. It's been weird I don't know what to say now that I can do it! Its been raining all week and it's currently raining right now we can't get a break but we got some service in helping a member clean up a barn that blew over. We had zone conference on Thursday! It was so awesome Elder Godoy of the seventy came to our mission and he is super funny and an awesome guy! It was fun to see a bunch of other missionaries and past companions. We had a couple aweosome lessons this week and we have a couple people that we will hopefully put on date to be baptized soon! Just got to get people to church. The work here is picking up. This coming week we have some lessons set up and...

Hey y'all! Another great week here in oklahoma! It was a little bit slower week for teaching but we did a ton of service! On Wednesday we did service for a non member named Glenda! She made us lunch and then her foot was hurting her real bad so we gave her a blessing. After that we cleaned up her property a little bit and she raises and sales dogs. She has this old shed with all the dogs in there on cement and she asked if we could get these cinderblocks out of there and pray all the poop out. I moved the first cinderblocks and there was poop and maggots and mold in it and it was so disgusting I threw up. Yeah it was bad so i just power washed the floors and got covered in who knows what! We did some awesome service for a member in our branch that lives in dequeen Arkansas! We helped them harvest like 12 chickens and killed a hog. I haven't hunted it killed anything in a long time so it felt weird to do that again. I got pretty quick and skinning those chickens and then we mowe...

Yooooo what is up sorry I didn't send an email last week! This last week has been pretty good but slow, we had district council on Tuesday and when we were leaving our car wouldn't start well elder leishman had the magic touch and got it started. Than we were just calling the dealership trying to get it in and looked at. We borrowed a bike from a member family from their like 10 year old son a little huffy. A little embarrassing story so we bought this little bike pump and couldn't get it to work so we called brother Halverson and had him come to air up our tires let's just say the air compressor was really powerful and the air chuck got stuck on the valve and the tube blew up in my face and I almost went deaf in my left ear it was ringing for like and hour I bought a new new tube and put it in and didn't blow it up that time! We did service at the food drive and had a non member come and help and that was super cool. We told them that It might be our last time caus...
