Subject: Hey, Elder, I just blinked twice and our GPS says we just past 3 towns!

Dear Family and Friends,

Hello! This last week has been stellar! Last Monday Elder Worthen and I went to the basketball court in Miller literally three times! We went and played for about 2 hours and then went to get Elder Worthen a haircut. Afterward we didn't know what else to do so we went and played some more! And then that night we went again in our proselyting clothes so we could teach and play ball with this guy we met there the day before named Jake. We played some more while waiting for him but he didn't show up! 

We went to go eat dinner with some members that just got sealed in the temple and the husband showed us the two huge hunting lodges that they rent out to people from all around the country! They are stinkin' nice! 

We did service three days in a row pulling weeds at the nursing home in Miller so that was fun!

The last night last week in Miller we decided that we should try to set something up with Jake again and it worked out! We played basketball with him and then taught him about The Plan of Salvation and he seemed to have received it well! We now have an investigator and we might try to put him on date for baptism next week in Miller! Woohoo!

Friday we had a wonderful District Meeting in Pierre and then went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. Elder Worthen stayed in Pierre with Elder Thatcher and I went to Gettysburg with Elder Dibble. He played baseball in high school so we had a fun time talking about that. We helped some people move (in our proselyting clothes) and we got drenched in sweat! Haha but it was fun anyway and we were glad those people could receive some help moving. We did a lot of other missionary stuff too on the exchange but nothing too exciting. I did learn a lot though from Elder Dibble because he's great!

Church yesterday in Gettysburg was a good time and there were 20 people there this time. Afterward we had a lesson with this awesome guy named Sam again who is coming back to church and is way cool! He also has one of the best mullets I've ever seen!

Saturday Elder Worthen and I took a look around the Gettysburg museum in hopes we'd find a lady that worked there that Elder Dibble and I had tracted into the day before. She wasn't there unfortunately. But it is an awesome museum! Gettysburg is a very old town!

Anywho, I love and miss you all!:)
