Bridger's Birthday Week!

This is my district!
 

 

Dear Family!

Well you could say that it's been a pretty great week for Elder Bailey and I. We had transfers this week which usually makes it feel like a slower week, but since Bailey and I are staying we were able to just work like normal. 

Tuesday we had our district meeting where we were able to celebrate another birthday in the district. Elder Bailey and I went and got cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory because that was Sister Sherrow's favorite cake. Thanks to Elder Bailey for funding it though. We had a great testimony meeting and cake party following that for her birthday. We went to the farm after that so we could go and serve with the horses. There were some cancellations so that meant we spent more time cleaning stalls and whatnot but it was still great!

Wednesday was transfers but the only change in the district was we got another greenie. His name is Elder Wilsher and he is from Draper Utah, originally from England though. We helped them get to the store and what not, but other than that we went our proselyting and went and played some pros ball. We came to a park where there were 3 guys playing and they let us play with them. Bailey sat out in the game but we still won so that was great. That night we got to go visit another new move in in our ward. He is in his residency just starting it up. It was great to see that even though this ward is loosing a ton of members, new ones are coming to fill the gaps.

Thursday night was a great night. We haven't been seeing Betsy at church the last few weeks so we stopped by to she how she was doing. They have just recently moved to a new home so on that process they weren't staying at their apartment and went to her sister-in-law's ward. We had a great conversation with her and told her about stake conference this weekend.

We were asked by the stake presidency to have the bishop select 10 member names prayerfully that we could go visit and help them get motivated into sharing the gospel. We finally got our list from the bishop so we got to go visit members through out the end of the week to challenge them to write their testimony in a Book of Mormon. It's been so much fun going around and getting them to commit to do it. 

Most of that covers what we have done this week, so that's really all I have to say. Hope everyone has a great week!

Love,

Elder Bentley
