Wood Centered Week:

Another week in heaven. It seems to be that Elder Johnson and I have been in service clothes all week. We've moved apartments. We've helped some members with service. We've continued our tracting. Our investigator Andy continues to prepare for baptism.

This past week. We moved apartments. It's been nice in the new apartment because now Elder Johnson and I can workout in the mornings. The old apartment didn't have enough room for our morning exercise so we drove to the church to use the gym everyday. It was kind of a pain. But it's all better now thanks to our upgrade in apartment space.

We've been doing a lot of service this time of year. As the snow creeps down the mountains around Delta Junction everyone is squirreling to prepare for winter. We've been doing all sorts of projects such as moving wood, chopping wood, moving chopped wood, and stacking chopped wood. As you can tell it's all been centered on wood and preparing for the cold winter days ahead.

Our investigator Andy is progressing really well. He's started to become more serous about church and the gospel. Instead of showing up in his usual everyday attire he came to church dressed up really nice. Ever since he's decided to be baptized he's actually been trying to be the best possible person he can be in the gospel. I love seeing how the teachings of Jesus Christ transform people's life's. It's amazing to see investigators go through the transforming process. I've come to realize the gospel can only make a person better than he or she truly is but it's up to the individual to accept the change. 

Have a fantastic week. Enjoy general conference!
