Hey yall!

Yet another week has blown by here in Decatur Alabama! We got transfer calls this Saturday night and I will be staying here another transfer as DL. Possibly another 2 transfers! However, I will be losing my team mate Elder Wilson, he's being transferred somewhere, we don't know where though! Im sad to be losing him, but im stoked to be staying here! We lovingly have knick-named Decatur "The Promise Land" Because it really is! We have amazing members, The work is Flying right now, The town is super fun to be in, Its in the north of Alabama so its not quite as hot, its just awesome! Hopefully we will be seeing many miracles come this next transfer as well :)

As far as this week went, it was an incredibly busy one! With an exchange to Athens, Zone training, District meeting, The fourth of July, and Teaching a bunch of people, We've been packed! Honestly the best feeling in the world as a missionary is to have a full schedule. So, just another reason why its the promise land here haha. Other fun things though, on the 4th of July we went to a Barbeque with a bunch of members! We had delicious Brisket and a ton of other food, then as it got dark they lit off a bunch of Fireworks! I missed fireworks last year so it was awesome to finally get to be in the united states and see them again!

On sunday, Blair ( a less active member) and Merideth (his soon to be Wife) came to church, Merideth just loves the church and has been studying and investigating for a while, we just are praying that they can get married soon and then She would love to get baptized! They have 3 super cute little kids as well. Tonight we even got permission to go to a play that Meredith is in, I forgot the Title but it should be a great way to end P-day!

Well, I don't know if everyone here knew, but President Packer past away this last week, he was such a great inspiration to me as an apostle! If you have not had a chance to check out the video about him on LDS.org, here it is!
