Reunion (Week 67)

 Well it was quite the week! Here's a couple of things that happened :)

Friday we had transfers. Elder Kintner and I drove down to Bristol to meet up with our new companions. While we were there waiting for our comps I saw some familiar faces. I was in the hall and headed out to the back of the Chapel when I came across a name tag that read ELDER WATERS. No way! Elder Waters was in my MTC district and we had both been temporarily reassigned in the states. It was so cool to see him in person. Then about 20 ish minutes later some missionaries got off of a bus. I saw another familiar face. It was thee Elder Stutz! My MTC companion! It was surreal to finally see him in person, and man what good Elders both of them are.

I am now with Elder Olsen! He is from a small town in Utah called Orem, haha. He is a bro and we get along very well! I am still in Kidderminster and am super excited about it!

On Sunday we were driving to someone's house to visit them. On the way Elder Olsen noticed this guy on the side of the road and said something about how he looked like he needed a friend. "Should we go back?" I asked. We went for it and figured out where to park. When we flipped the car around we saw that he was gone... As we kept driving we saw him again and looked for a place to park. We drove around 3 ish corners and lost him again but just hoped we could find him. We got out of our car just as we saw him turn the corner. No way! Haha that was super sweet. So we went and talked to him and gave him a Book of Mormon and all of that good stuff. His name is Joseph and we told him we liked his name. hah. It was all just super cool how it worked out. 

A lot of cool experiences. A lot of tough ones. But they're all for our good and our learning so that's neat.

Today I broke the key off in the lock.............. can't wait to see how that all plays out, haha.

I hope you all have a good week!
