Benson Hill Transfer One Week Five

hey everyone!

well its snowing in seattle today!! its pretty cold and i dont like it, i dont think my hands have ever hurt as bad as they did today from the cold they were purplish after i got off my bike today it was pretty crazy hah but the weather here is pretty crazy like today it was sunny and then it was raining and then it hailed and now it is snowing. i just wish it would make up its mind! cause im already on my second pair of clothes today because me and e bonnett were totally soaked through.

we have had a great week though we now have 3 people on date for baptism. we put 2 people on date this last week! and we are going to put someone else on date tonight too! this last week we put Isaiah ****** on date on tuesday. hes a goofy kid he is 14 and his dad is inactive. his dad is from ghana and came to the states to run track for byu so they have a pretty cool story but his dad is going to ghana for a month so we have to wait to march 26th to baptise him so his dad can be here for it. we also put brittnay ***** on date for march 19th on saturday. she is awesome, we tracted in to her and the first time we talked to her she told us that the mormon religion was the only religion that made sense to her! she also loves how we can actully answer her questions she has. he husband is actually a member too but he hasnt been to church since he was like 14 so he can also answer some questions which is great for us because we think he still has a testimony which will help her so much. our other on date is liley ******** she has been on date for a while but we has to bump her date back to march 12th but shes doing pretty good though.

it has been a great week we have been blessed so much, and this morning something way cool happened, we were riding our bikes down the road and normally when we stop to talk to people they try to avoid us but there was this lady today that totally like flagged us down and started to talk to us. she told us how she wanted a new beginng and everything like that we actually said a quick prayer with her on the side of the road and she started to cry. she is awesome so we are going over to her house tonight and she wanted us to come pray with her so we are going to go tonight and dedicate her home and then teach the restoration and then invite her to get baptised and we think its going to go over great! im just kinda scared because ill be on exchanges so ill be in my area tonight with a new comp so its going to be different.

but its been awesome here i hope everything is going well there. and let blake know that he better pick his training up because at this rate when i get home im going to be able to ride him into the ground! haha im getting to be a beast on the bike now these hills are finally paying off. well i hope everything is going good there.
love you guys and give hank a good rub for me
