Elder Guymon and I (he wanted to wear our hats for the picture lol)

Alright everyone this week has been crazy busy. but also crazy fun. (what a time).... but man we have been on exchanges, we put people on date for baptism, and we even went to church. crazy. i know
So now let me tell you about all of these....
MONDAY: We are doing some service for Angel and Belinda Gutierrez, and after words she says "guys you need to ask Angel about baptism" and last week we challenged them to watch conference and for him to pray about a date for baptism. So this time we ask him about him and he says "the 27 of October" we wereeeeeeee shoooook. For the missionaries reading this that served in this area.. You know how crazy that is... because he has been kinda investigating for 12 years....
TUESDAY: We go over to Sergio and Lenys house. They are a part member family and Sergio found a lot of anti stuff about the Church. but the whole time he was telling us about this he kept saying "every time I watch these videos I just feel like they aren't right.. they are going against what I believe "and it's a miracle because he is wayyyyy less active. His wife (nonmember) was like yeah they were saying mean things about the church. and then we talked about baptism and we put Leny and their daughter Odalys on date for the 27th!
WEDNESDAY: I went with Elder Guymon on exchanges. I freakin love that dude. He is probably my favorite human being (sorry mom) we just bro'ed out. He also possibly made me change my future life plans #dixiestate but Elder Moake back in Elkhart met with Diana Tapia. I love this girl. She has been struggling hardcore in life but she is finally getting back up on her feet. We were like Diana you can finally be baptized.. when do you wanna do it? and she saiiidddddd "the 27 of October!"
THURSDAY: I went with Elder Stevens on exchanges and he is probably my second favorite human being (sorry dad) but we also bro'ed out and worked hard. I possibly changed his future life plans #dixiestate
So basically we have been blessed this week and there have been plenty more milagros (miercoles) (I guarantee Elder Bearnson is laughing right now) but yes the 27th of October is going to be WEEETTTTT I'm pumped. But yes this week has been fantastic. We are just grinding hard because #grinddontstop
We are definitely blessed in life when we are obedient to the commandments. I have seen this to be true so much in my mission and especially in this last week. Elder Moake and I have been killing it in the obedience department lately. We are only going up from here. Also thanks to Elder Guymon I read a talk this week called "Lord, I Believe" from Elder Holland in 2013 and it is definitely my favorite talk because of my reason of why I am on a mission. It talks exactly of my conversion story and it just blew me away. So y'all should go and read that.
Love,
Your favorite Spanish speaking farmer missionary in Elkhart,
Elder Turley
