Dear family

This week has been so amazingly crazy and awesome, I have grown so much and we have had so many miracles happen. When we left off on Wednesday we had p-day and then were heading off to the MOTAB concert! It was amazing! We had 1 investigator come with us and 6 less active recent converts there as well! It was just amazing! We went in the bauserman's big 17 passenger bus and it was awesome to be able to go with everyone and just have a great time! All of our mini missionaries went with us as well and they loved it! It was a lot like the one I went to in Rexburg, but it was still amazing! the Pres. of OHIO State came out at the end and was the guest conductor for the final encore song! I had no idea who he was but it was still pretty cool! I got to sit by mike smith one of our investigators who is on date for baptism for July 13th and he loved it, it was so fun to see his reaction to the spirit of the concert! It was pretty exciting! :) I loved it so much, but you know me! I love concerts! :) 
There was a tornado watch right over Columbus and all the way there and back brother bauserman kept getting emergency texts that tornado's and stuff were a possibility! we were also supposed to get like 75 mile/hour winds, so that was exciting! the whole way home there was a ton of sheet lightning, it was so cool! :) SO now that I have scared you to death I will tell you of the miracles that happened after Wednesday, 
we taught 2 nine year olds to get them ready for baptism, and we also were able to go and get a new investigator from a referral that bishop sent us to. our mini's had a great week not wanting to go home and I know that because they were here is why these miracles happened! It definitely wasn't anything sis. Pollock and I did. maybe just some planning and lots of praying on our part but mostly them! It was such a growing week for me, it taught me patience and love for every person, and that missions aren't all about the good lessons that you teach,because some lessons just aren't going to go well and you deal with them as they come! both me and sis. Pollock experienced rough lessons! but they just weren't ready to hear it. But one member has been talking to his co worker about the church and we had a lesson with her on Friday and that went well, she asked all the right questions and is pretty much golden! We'll see how that goes! I really felt your prayers this week, I needed every one of them! 
On saturday when the mini missionaries left sis. Pollock and I just collapsed and were so exhausted, we went and I honestly don't remember what we did the rest of the night! we were so tired! 
We did go to the bausermans for dinner though and recorded a fathers day message. did you get it dad? we sent it on saturday night, so I hope you did. it was of sis. Pollock and I saying "happy fathers day dad! You're the only man in my life...for now!" it was so fun! :) I hope that fathers day was so good! we made treats for some of the dads in our ward and took them around last night because we didn't think that finding was going to be very effective, because it was fathers day. so we did some service. Rick hildebrand, the Goggle guy, hes one of the guys that we took it too, and he jumped on facebook and wrote dad a message from me, incase you didn't see it already! he's a pretty awesome dude! :)
