Benson Hill Transfer One Week Four

hey everyone!

happy valentines day! well it has been another crazy week, truely we have been blessed this week there has been so many great things that have happened we have been doing some serious work too. we got 12 new investigators this week which has been awesome! we found so many people and it is amazing because we found all but one of these from tracting! so things have been going great the lord has been putting so many people in our path. so these next few weeks we are going to be doing a lot of teaching. we have a few golden investigators which is awesome we totally would have them on date already but our fellowship totally messed it up 2 times in a row. they should be quiet and let us teach, we have been kinda fustrated with that but it has been good, we just arent taking fellowship anymore untill after they are on date. other than that things have been awesome. we reput liley back on date for march 12th so she is working towards that and there is really good progress. we also put another guy on date saturday night. we met mark on the side of the road and he is a mess. but saturday night we rode around for like 2 hours in the rain and nobody would let us in, so we were on our way home and we stoped by marks house and we talked with him for a while and we shared a lesson with him and invited him to be baptized. we were pretty excited and its going to take alot of work but it will help him out so much. im excited to be able to see the gospel help in his life.

so i guess dad was here this week and it was a really nice week. it didnt rain much until saturday it made up for the week of not raining. but the rains not to bad you just get used to it after a while. so it has been raining since then.

this week also has been interesting because e bonnett has been in training meetings all week so i have been in a threesome with another greenie that came out with me and a elder that has only been out a trasfer more than me. so none of us knew what was going on so it was pretty crazy being with them all week and going around not realy knowing what we were supposed to do.

we also had a way cool experience this week. when i was out in my threesome we tracted onto a russian lady and i think she recognized our tags so we tried talking to us but we couldnt communicate with her at all. so we ended up just leaving and she looked kinda sad when we left. so i told elder bonnett about it and so later that night we took a russian and an ukrainian b of m over to her appartment. when she answered the door we help the two books of mormon up and let her pick the language she wanted. she took the ukrainina one and we tried to show her what it was, she ran into her house and brought out her bible and tried talking to us about it. we still couldnt communicate with her at all so we had to leave. so now we have been looking for people who speak ukrainian, i realy want to know what she has to say but i dont know if ill ever be able to find out in this life and i might just have to wait till the next to find out what that lady wanted to say and if the book of mormon will change anything.

it has been a great week though im also getting alot better on the bike which is nice!

well i love you all and give hank a good scratch for me
