Hey Everyone, hope you are all doing well.

I am still chilling here in Fayetteville. We have had a very up and down week.

School started on Monday so we spent a lot of time on campus talking to people this week. Tuesday and Wednesday we had a booth set up and the student union building and had a lot of success talking to people. We actually had the whole zone come out on Wednesday and a few companionships on Tuesday. We ended up teaching over 100 lessons which was amazing. 

Then all of the not so good stuff happened. We had a student come to institute just looking to cause trouble. Just bring to prove everything wrong so we ended up taking him into the other room so he didn't ruin the class. We had a member of the Bishopric with us which was really nice, because this kid was really good at what he does. It was really just annoying to have to deal with someone whose only intent is to tear down what you believe. On Friday we had dinner with an investigator, one week before his baptismal date, and found out that he has a major issue that is keeping him from baptism. And he doesn't want to change. So he is pretty much off the radar. Our other investigator started smoking again and got a new job so we haven't seen him much. And everyone else we have met with felt to intimidated and pressured by my companion so they kinda dropped us.

So that's my week. Everyone here is getting ready to go nuts over football, missing out on that.

I did get free tacos today so that is really good :)

With Love,

Wow  Hard to believe that it has already been another month. I'm really having a blast here in Fayetteville it's an awesome place. 

This week has been pretty great. I'd have to say that the highlight of the week was Thursday. We had a good exchange set up and a bunch of people we were planning on seeing. But before noon everything had canceled. We were a bit down but we decided that we needed to go out and do something at least. We ended the day with 9 total lessons and got a new investigator named Tim. And last night we set a baptismal date with him for September 3rd. Really excited for him! Our recent convert Alyssa has been awesome with him, helping out at lessons and inviting him to activities. It is great to see ward members involved in the missionary work, and enjoying it.

Food this week was pretty slim, we had 2 dinners set up so we did a lot of unintentional fasting. But we made it work. On Saturday we went to Slim Chickens with a member from Angola. He is pretty cool, but the best part was that I got chicken and waffles. It was way good. On the plus side we have a dinner for every day this coming week.

In President Loveland's email this week he talked about President Uchtdorf's analogy of an eagle learning to fly where he said, " the thrill of soaring begins with the fear of falling." I think that in order to soar and have success we have to be willing to put ourselves in new and uncomfortable situations. When we stretch ourselves we have the opportunity to experience things that we never have before.

Well I hope you all have a great week.
