So i guess President Christison took off yesterday, i didnt they he was going to be leaving 'til Thursday but yesterday afternoon sometime the new mission President came in and he had his orientation then they had lunch together and then President and Sister Christison left. it will be interesting to meet the new mission President and see how he does things. i know i'll miss President Christison but at the same time i'm sure this new one President Maynes will have lots of good qualities as well.

so last p-day we had another set of missionaries move in with us because the members they were living with had housed the missionaries for almost 2 years and it was time for them to get out so they came over to our little apartment ha and it was so crowded and it was crazy having 4 big guys in such a small place, but we managed and they left last night to another members home. but the housing coordinators (a senior couple) Elder and Sister Morgenegg who helped move them out last night said that they got to meet the new mission President and they said he is a great man.

On sunday we had a lady speak in sacrament who has just recently become active within the last year because her 16 year old son was baptized and she has since been through the temple and received her endowment. well her roomate (a lady named Jodi) has come out to church a few times and just came out again this past sunday when she spoke. Well yesterday we were out tracting and we got a phone call and it was from her and she asked us when we could come over and start teaching her the lessons, we were like whenever works best for you! :) haha it is so exciting when something like that happens.

We went over to the Gaus families home on Saturday because it was Wryleys birthday and he was having a bunch of friends over so before his party we went and helped brother Gaus fill up 500 water balloons. Then on Sunday evening Brother Gaus was ordained into the office of Priest and so now he will be able to baptize his 2 kids on the 10th of July, Wryley and Hailey. Hailey is 8 so she will be a child of record baptism, but Wryley is 11 so he'll be considered a convert. it is so awesome to see how far this family has come since we first went over there, i've loved being able to go over there and work with them.

The O'neal family is having a huge yard sale this friday and saturday trying to sell most of their stuff before they head out, so we are going to go over there again with our Relief Society President and help pack things up and share another lesson, last week the lesson went well and they still seem like they want to be baptized before they leave but they haven't been to church recently so i dont know if it will actually happen or not but we keep praying for them.

thank you for all that you do. i love you so much and am so grateful that i have the chance to be out here on a mission serving the Lord. miss you and love you!
Love Randy
