"You are a bad companion"

 thankfully, that phrase wasn't said to me, but to another Elder that didn't make his companion shine his shoes for zone conference. Sis Odonkor is going out swinging for their last full transfer.

This week was definitely a lot better than the last couple of weeks. I feel like after 8 or so weeks of being in the area, I've finally figured out how to run it correctly and everything. We found a lot of cool people and even had 2 people show up for the first time after a brief 30 second conversation that I didn't even teach anything. Our RM member went after them and told them that the missionaries (us) are here to baptize them. They replied with "soon"  big things will be coming soon

the rest of the highlights:

- Zone conference was good. It brought some things that I had done previously, but have recently slacked on to my remembrance. Hopefully I'll be able to get up and running again and then the work will progress even more

- Our recent converts 2 kids passed their baptismal interviews!!

- Went on an exchange with Elder Meyers from American Fork. He's an absolute dawg and we definitely had a lot of fun. We took out the RM member and taught another elect as could be lady. Probably the most simple and well understood restoration lesson I've ever taught. She had all the right questions and we had all the answers. Sadly they didn't come to church, but we called them and it sounds like their son is in the hospital. Keep them in your prayers!! We also helped a handicapped member take his automatic wheel chair to an electrician in the neighborhood. He lives on a hill, so it was a little bit of a struggle to take it down, but it created some good memories!!

-We got roasted by Pres for apparently all of the Elders having too long of hair. He mandated that all of us get cuts today.

Spiritual thought:

The last couple of months (like 7) I feel as if my testimony of the Book of Mormon hasn't really been growing the way I want it too. This last week I realized how vital it is that we have it. How cool is it that God doesn't just speak to all of His Children! How cool is it that we have physical proof that Christ's church has been restored to the Earth today!

Love you all,

Elder Turnbow
