Duluth week 24

So transfers are in! Elder Zerkle and I are finally splitting.. he is finally leaving the nest! I am with Elder Goertzen, a missionary who is in an area about an hour north of me right now. So I am excited to work with him. The district leader position was also moved so i am a normal missionary. I have only been a normal missionary once my whole mission, and that was over a year ago, so i have a lot of free time on my hands! 

For the next 6 weeks if you desire to send me mail you might as well send it to my apartment address: 510 N 40th ave W #206 , Duluth MN 55807 it takes like 10 additional days when you send it through the mission office because of how far up i am. Sometimes it even takes 3-4 weeks.

The K family was baptized this week! It was the most spiritually powerful experience of my whole mission, I kid you not. This family was super prepared. Elder Zerkle and I really didnt do a whole lot for that one. Gotta love those gifts! The father in law drove up from Iowa to baptize the family. He was beaming the whole day. He has been waiting 15 years for this and you could see the joy in his countenance. When they got into the water his voice was full of emotion and he said the prayer and dumked Bro K. The Spirit just slammed everyone in the room and Bro K got up and embraced his father in law. You can tell that Bro K has a powerful testimony that these things are true. While they were getting changed the Sister Missionaries showed the Because of Him and Because He Lives Easter videos. Then Bro K bore his testimony of this being the true church of God and how he has seen so many blessings in the last 3 months he has been investigating. Then told the congregation that he and his family WILL be sealed in a year. So legit :D

We had a service project helping a member tear down a wall inside their home this week. Elder Zerkle leaned against a pipe on their heater and broke it so we had to leave that and go to the hardware store to buy stuff to fix that. he has now broken a lot of stuff in our apartment and stuff in 4 member homes... oh boy

So on Saturday during our correlation meeting with our WML, Brother Faerber, Elder Zerkle asked him what the qualifications for getting into the middle tier in the celestial kingdom. Bro Faerber said be endowed members who are also BYU fans... ouch. Later that day we saw him again and I gave him a hug of consolation over his precious University of Utah being knocked out of the tournament. 

We had a drunk guy asked Elder Zerkle and I when we were setting our marriage date... that was awkward.
