Dear Family and Friends!!!
I am doing great!!!! This week is transfers and Elder Ogilvie and I are staying here! You don't have to send a cake mix, a member (Sister Lawson) here is gonna make me a chocolate cake and we're gonna eat at their house on the 28th because the 29th was already taken! Umm I can't think of anything else I would want for my birthday, but if you come across something you know I'll like you can send it.
How is Dad doing? I hope you are doing good Dad!! And same with you Emily!! Well it sounds like y'all had an eventful week! What's the plan for Halloween? The wards here are doing a Trunk or Treat at the church since it is VERY spread out here and they usually have several hundreds of people come and many non-members! We will be there and it's gonna be awesome!!
This week was a great week!!! We finally got some investigators!! On Tuesday a member (Derek) took us to help a friend and her daughter and granddaughter move into a trailer across the street from us (Ronda is the friend and Becky is the daughter, we can't remember the granddaughters name) That was really good! Derek works with Rhonda and was talking to her about the Church and she and Becky are interested! We gave them both copies of the Book of Mormon. On Tuesday we did a tradeoff with the Bristol elders and Elder Ogilvie and Elder Saunders worked in Hosford and found 4 more investigators! We went back to all of them and 2 decided they wanted to stay where they are and not find out if the Book of Mormon is true and the other 2 didn't answer. 
And Jed and Michelle (members) had us come over Thursday and teach Michelles cousin, Lynn. And we are going to start working more with her!
Ok so for the highlight of the week! Yesterday we went to get our hair cut by Sister Lawson and when we were just about done Derek and Wade (another member here) told us that we are going to go teach Rhonda and Becky, so they came and picked us up and we went over there! Since we last saw them Becky was getting some crap from someone and was trying to defend us but didn't quite know what to say so she read the entire beginning of the Book of Mormon and a few chapters in the beginning!! We taught the Restoration and when we were about to explain the First Vision Becky's sister (Samantha) and her husband (Fransisco) came in and joined the discussion. We explain the First Vision and the Book of Mormon and Samantha and Fransisco started asking us why we were talking about Joseph Smith so much and not about Jesus Christ, we told her that they came towards the end and that we talked about Jesus Christ and were now explaining Joseph Smith and then the question, which would you prefer to read: The Book of Mormon or the Bible. We explained we used both and then Fransisco asked why would he read the Book of Mormon or of Joseph Smith if they weren't in the Bible. Fransisco then said that his English isn't the best and so it was a good thing Derek decided to bring Wade because Wade served a mission in Argentina and spoke Spanish so he went into explaining things to him in Spanish and he was being pretty stubborn but thankfully Wade was able to help him understand (after a bit of explaining) and Samantha and Fransisco live in Quincey and we told them that there are missionaries there who speak Spanish and they could go teach him, he accepted that and a Spanish copy of the Book of Mormon (we have a bunch at our trailer!)! It was awesome!!! While Samantha and Fransisco were asking all the questions Rhonda and Becky were trying to help us and we are really excited about that situation!!!
Well I think that will do for this email! I love y'all very much and this is for you Jamie!
