The stage is set.

Highlights:

- We had some really good soccer games for zone pday last monday.

- I got to be spanish for a couple days last week for exchanges. 

- We started teaching this cool guy named Steve.

- We met a really cool part member family that wants the gospel. We'll see them tomorrow.

- We got the cool "cranky old man" of the ward to like us, even though he denies it.

Elder Wheelwright will speak briefly

April 2, 2018

Highlights:

- General Conference. It was pretty great. Even aside from the announcements it was wonderful.  

- Aleksa is still doing awesome and loved Conference.

- We got in contact with one of our other investigators (Kayla) that we have never seen since we've been here. And she is pretty cool and wants to be baptized.

- We did a pinewood derby with our ward. I made a tie and my companion made a bathtub.

"It's rigged"

March 26, 2018

Highlights:

- We had a ward talent show that was pretty fun. Elder Bailey did an interpretive dance of a raindrop.

- Aleksa came to church and we had a good lesson afterwards. She is now set to be baptized on April 14th. Aleksa is really awesome and is very excited to be baptized. Aleksa says that everything is rigged for her, but that's just God.

- We contacted two referrals that we got and they are both pretty cool. We should be meeting with them this week.

- Both Elder Bailey and I gave talks in sacrament meeting. We were told the day before.

- General Conference is coming!

How to make the best out of General Conference:

Spicy Ramen

Highlights:

- Another "Why I Believe" fireside.

- We saw a bunch of our investigators this week and had good meetings with them. 

- We are going to meet a bunch of our investigators this week. 

- We had zone conference last week and that was pretty good. Half of it we learned about the smart phones stuff we are going to get. Turns out that we are going to be using facebook as well. I don't really want to do that. 

- We went to a Pacific Ocean Marketplace which is similar to H-mart. And I got Elder Bailey to eat ramen for the first time in his life.

Highlights:

- We had another "Why I believe" fireside last night and it was good. 

- Aleksa came to the fireside and she loved it. She is still doing really awesome.

- We finally met with Maddy, a 10yr old girl we're teaching. She is really cool, but we haven't been able to meet with her mom. Hopefully next time.

- We've been working with a lot of people and talking with some people that God has guided into our paths. Super cool.

- We're still having a bunch of fun here. Good times.

What will we give up to follow the Savior?

Nathans response to some questions I asked him.

Peoria is actually pretty close to Denver. It's the city of Aurora. We are only 10 minutes from Bible Park, where I served before in Denver.

Elder Bailey is from South Carolina. Right in the middle of it. He came out a transfer after me but is going home the same time as me due to school.

Yeah, I'm using the same bike as before. It's still holding up well.
