This week was pretty slow as far as missionary work goes, but super crazy as far as everything else goes.

There was an elder that unexpectedly went home in an area next to us, so they put his companion (Elder Manning) with us in our area. So now we cover the Hillcrest area, and the Ingram mill area.

And then we also had zone conference this week, it was long as usual but oh, so uplifting. President spoke about the importance of the gospel and the impact that just talking to everyone has.

Oh so something cool, this week our mission president surprised us by letting us go see "The Other Side of Heaven 2".  That movie was amazing.  I don't know if I'm saying that because I haven't seen a movie in a few months, but I really enjoyed that.

Something that hit me this week was the importance of patience.  We need to be patient with not only our fellow men, but also ourselves, and our Heavenly Father. I encourage y'all to think about that this week.

The only picture I have for this week is of how insanely hot is was this week. This picture was taken at 7 in the evening.

This is from the mission FB page.  Luke is right in the middle.
