The Companion's Birthday

Today was Elder Killpack's birthday, so the family they had dinner with sent pictures.

 It is good to know that there are great people out there taking care of our missionaries.

We also got a picture from the fb page. Dallin is on the far right in the gray shirt.

Hey all!

I was asked to give yet another talk on Sunday. It went well, but giving talks is wearing me out. I've talked in 4 out of the 7 wards we cover already. Do people enjoy my voice that much?

The Duck family is still doing well. They have to move within a week or two, and they're still looking for a house. I have been praying for them to find a good house, and I encourage you to do the same. When they move, we likely won't be able to teach them anymore (they will probably be out of our area), so I will miss them.

Kaden (I misspelled it as Cayden earlier) is doing well. He still likes learning about the gospel. He scheduled for us to teach him a lesson last Saturday, but his family went camping, unbeknownst to us. We laughed it off, and when his family came back, we re-scheduled for Tuesday.

On Sunday, we ate dinner at a member's house. In addition to us, he invited his entire family. And I mean his whole family, grandkids and all. There were a lot of grandkids. And they were loud. Very loud. And also disgusting. I am NEVER having children. The food was good, though.

Here's a story for you all: One day, we were walking past a church building. We decided to stop for some water, but the keys we had wouldn't work, so we turned around. Right as we did, we saw a guy named José. We walked and talked with him for the entire evening. As we did, he revealed he was feeling lost in life, so I shared a lesson pamphlet with him and invited him to read it. I'm glad the Spirit was able to provide us with such an amazing encounter!

Take care,

- Elder Atchley
