This week was good. We found more investigators! One lady in our ward has two 9 yer old grandaughters that want to be baptized so we stared teaching them! The grandma is less active so that will be good for her! We also helped teach a cub scout camp how to tie knots! probably 40 kids! it was so much fun! The leaders gave us a camp patch for helping. I got to talk with the parents and teach them about what missionaries do ! One parent invited us over for dinner!
Brother Mcgrady got baptized on saturday!!!!!!!! hes been investigating for 43 years!!! we ate dinner at their home last night! they are the best! she feeds us so well. Tuesday, July 29, 2014

| Evidence of the remodel |
We were walking up one of the West Virginia hills the other day and we talked to this guy who was sitting on his pouch reading. We ITLd him (Invited To Learn) and he said "ill give ya 10 minutes" I was sop excited! we talked about the Book of Mormon and answered some questions he had about the doctrine and things hes wondered his whole life. He said he really enjoyed the visit and if we ever wanted a drink or a ride down the hill to please knock on the door and ask. It was a cool experiance!

| Downtown Beckly West Virgina |
New companion is Elder Mcmullin from boise Idaho. Hes a nice guy! we've been getting along really well!! President and sister Salisbury are soooo awesome!! The cellulitus is doing a lot better. still looks gross but its not spreading. Sister Palmer (mission nurse here) has been keeping tabs on me. The Beckley area is no HB... but its what the Lord wants me to serve in. We moved the apartments right after i got there. neighbors were pot heads and the apartment wasent nice, hard to feel the Spirit in so the mission prez told us to move immidiatly. So we moved in with the other Beckley Elders. 4 elders in a house! yes a house! we live in the basement! its really nice.

The mission nurse calls me everyday to make sure im good. more insane news! im leaving Lexington on thursday. President Salisbury called me about 2 hours ago and told me they really needed an Elder in Charleston and prayed and thought a lot about it and he said that they need me. Not sure why i was picked but him and his wife and daughter are coming to get me on thursday and ill be driving with them the next day or so. Im excited and nervous. ill miss Lexington so much. again please dont freak out, im ok
