Kind of sad but i know that i have done what i needed to do here and learned what i came to learn.
Im getting real lazy so I'm gonna attach my letter to president again i really liked that haha
Im excited to be moving to Kansas this transfer. t should be a good change. I am sad to leave Fayetteville though. Especial because we had tickets to the Razorbacks game this coming Saturday haha. Oh well. This week was way good though.
Last Wednesday i went on an exchange with Elder Nau. I learned a lot from him and i think he really took something away as well. I asked Elder Nau a lot about how to be bold and teach with the spirit. That was the strongest i have felt the spirit in a lesson and the first time i fell like i had power behind my words. It was a great learning experience. We had a lot of other great things happen but those were the highlights i suppose.
We also had a really good DM on monday. There were a lot of good role plays and good application. Afterwards we tried bringing a lunch to eat after. It went very well. Normally when we go out to eat we get chatty about random stuff, but since we were still in the church we ended up sharing a lot of spiritual experiences with each other and i felt like the District came together better than we had after any activity or outing.
We had some pretty neat experiences with Lauren this week. We had both fasted that Lauren would receive an answer. She came to church with questions about Joseph Smith and the BoM. Testimony meeting was a lot about how revelation comes in patterns or repetition and then a lot about prophets and conference. In Sunday School we felt prompted to teach about prophets. Then apparently in Relief Society the talked about prophets and the BoM as well. After church she excitedly came up to us and said "its not a coincidence" it was way cool. She has made a lot of great friends in the ward and she is now ready for the next step :) So awesome to see.

Some other highlights for the week were hiking a "mountain" with Tim, Seeing Scott again, and yesterday we had a bomb dinner with a bunch of members at the institute with some investigators as well.
It is cool to see how this area has changed from the members not wanting much do do with us to now, bringing friends to church, asking for BoMs, becoming great friends with Gators and just having a great missionary mindset. I love it
Looking forward to letting you know more about my new area on Monday!
With Love
