Monday
-we read in the Book of Mormon with Zach about baptism!! He is so excited to get baptized and make that covenant with the Lord. He was seriously in the best and happiest mood that day. We are so grateful that we could meet him and that he loves the gospel so much!!
-for the rest of the night we went and contacted people who we are trying to teach!! We were able to get in contact with one of them so that was good!

-we taught zach about the word of wisdom!!!! It was awesome and he is willing to follow the word of wisdom!!
-we went in the church at the end of the night and we were only going to be in there for a minute to look at the baptism suits for zach since he is SO TALL and we weren't sure if there was one that fit him and I left the car window open AND THERE WAS A CRAZY HUGE STORM!!! The whole inside of the car got soakkkked and it was pretty funny my seat was wet and the whole dashboard and also the steering wheel and everything!!
Thursday

-we taught Crystal about the Book of Mormon and where it came from!! She loves the Book of Mormon soooo much!!

Friday
-went up to the tiny little town of Clinton!! Sadly on the way up a tragedy happened and the person who wanted to study the bible with us canceled but we decided to go up there anyways and do some work up there.
-Clinton is the flattest looking place in the world I am pretty sure. Most the time near Decatur when you are at a cornfield you can usually see trees in the distance or silos or houses. But in Clinton its just cornfields forever and forever you cannot even see anything else except unplanted cornfields.
-did weekly planning in a study room in a random library in clinton and it was so cute there I loved it.
-we met a man while we were tracting and he has a child who is a member of the church who lives in Utah we were able to give him a Book of Mormon and hopefully we can go visit him soon
-we talked to a young man and his girlfriend his name was larry and he calls himself a "jesus guy" because he says that he loves Christ so much. We gave him the Book of Mormon and he said that he would read it!!
-we met a super nice mom and we gave her a Book of Mormon and she said that we could come back and teach her a lesson!
-we met a man who loves motorcycles and is a part of an organization called motorcycles and christians or something like that. He told us some stories and then gave us pennies with a cross cut out of them to remember christ.
-clinton is strange IN THE BEST WAY there is this little town square and there is nothing there except abandoned stores, barber shops, and antique stores!! In such a small area there are 3 barber shops and about 5 antique stores! We went in one of the barber shops to ask for directions and the man who worked there was named Darvin and he owned the funniest cutest little barbershop!! He let us share a message with him so that was amazing!!
-on the way back from Clinton we had dinner in Maroa with the Carriers and they are the COOLEST FAMILY!!! They have such amazing testimonies and the cutest dog and the cutest kids!! It was a great time and we taught them about the plan of salvation
-after dinner we went to go visit some potentials and we ended up running into Wesley who a missionary reffered to us. It was awesome to get in contact with wesley and give him a Book of Mormon!!
-ALSO GOOD NEWS JERRY IS ON DATE FOR BAPTISM I LOVE HIM!!! So proud!!!
Saturday

-the Elders brought us a cake for sister greers bday and it was sooooo funny. It was yellow cake with chocolate chips but all the chocolate chips went to the bottom and burned and they gave it to her upside down. It was awesome and it was the most elder looking cake i have ever seen.
-we got to see Danny and see how he is doing. It was super nice because it had been soo long!!
