Hey everyone! 

       Yet another week has passed. I have officially passed my year mark! It doesn't feel like I have though, I still feel like a new missionary. We will see where the next year takes me! Nothing too exciting happened this week. We have been talking about doing some service projects with our districts or even our zones this week. President Cooper has really been pushing service lately. He says he wants us to do up to 10 hours of service per week. I think that is awesome, I love doing service. We also might go caroling when it gets closer to Christmas as missionaries. I love President Cooper, he has all the great ideas! Hopefully we will be able to find service to do, we offer it to basically everyone we meet. I'll keep y'all updated. 

       The Uprichard's came to church again yesterday and they are still loving it. The ward is doing a great job at fellowshiping them. They said that they actually look forward to Sundays now. They area really diving into the book of Mormon now. Now that we've got them started they can't stop! They want to read like 10 chapters between visits haha. They are awesome, we hope we can commit them to a date to be baptized soon. They said they would be baptized but not sure about a date yet. They have to work through some things first. I will let you all know how it goes. I have learned 3 songs on the guitar and ukulele now from Tony, it's pretty fun! The ward wants us to play music at the ward Christmas party in December so we have been working on some songs. Maybe I will record some for you all. 

       Other than them we have just been tracting and street contacting and visiting members. It is hard to find such solid people like the Uprichard's. Oh and their son James said that he wants to be baptized so he can pass the sacrament and one day be an Elder, he is jumping all in! Their whole family is loving it.

       Also, just a random comment, I bruised my tailbone like 3 weeks ago mountain biking and let me tell you, its not fun at all. It hurts to do anything and there is not much you can do other than just wait to let it heal. So yeah that hasn't been fun. Still pushing through it though. That is about all for this week. Maybe next week will be a little more exciting. Have a great week everyone! Love you all!
