It's Summer!

Dear Everyone!

Well this week has been a little slower of a week for us, but it still was a good one! I have had a cold for most of the week, but I have tried to not let that weigh is down in our work!

Tuesday was a pretty big day for Elder Bailey, he finally got his iPad so he is now independent and its up to me to make sure he knows how to use everything on it properly! We got them at a specialized training for the trainees, at the end we play a game that's a scripture chase, a white hand book chase, and a first vision competition. We smoked all of the other trainees and got the prize ties at the end. I made sure that he had everything down so we could work together to win. We went to the farm at the end of the meeting. The riding instructor broke her ankle so most of the riders were behind schedule. With that, we went fishing at the farm pond, and cleaned out some of the algae.

Wednesday we finally got to go visit Kareen. We taught her the law of Chastity and she is going to talk with her husband to see if he is interested in taking the lessons and joining as well. Their daughter is completely intent on joining, she loves the young women's program and is going to all the camps and activities this summer. We are hoping that the family can see that through the daughters love for the church they will love it. The first started investigating because they wanted to find a church with a good youth program. We visited the Wight family for my first time in 7 months. It was a great meal and we had some great conversation. Little did we know she would be released as the Relief Society President on Sunday.

Thursday I thought was going to drag on, but Elder Bailey made a fun day out of it. We had tons of finding time and as we went from house to house he videoed our journey so it made it very enjoyable. We placed a BOM so it made it worth the time. We visited with Anna that night and she has questions about the chapter we gave her to read. We tied it into the first half of the Plan of Salvation and she ended to understanding most of it which was great!

Friday I got to go on exchanges with the Elders in my district. I went with Elder Williams to their area and we had a great day. The day was full of talking about how we can strengthen their companionship and how he could help his area. We got out tracting and it showed him what really can come out of it.

Saturday we got to help one of my favorite families in this ward with some yard work. We helped Sister Matsen paint a fence, pull weeds and cut down some shrubberies. It was a blast because it was like being back at home with the family doing yard work. Also it's something missionary we can do even though I am congested and can't really hear out my right ear. Saturday night we went to the Hasting and had a great time there, the invited me back after church on Sunday to look at my ear.

Sunday we had the opportunity to teach Primary to the 7&8 year olds. It was a pretty great experience, and tons of fun to do. You could say that it was overall a great week!

Love,

Elder Bentley
