Dear Everyone,

So I got transfer calls and guess what! We are staying as is. I am very excited about that because I have been feeling like I still have some work to do here. 

So this week has been another great week. We had some really good lessons with our investigators and they are slowly starting to progress more and more. We had our Strawberry Social this last Friday which turned out to be a great success. we were only able to get two of our investigators to come which was disappointing at first but there was nothing we could do. Our one investigator (Ashley) who is getting baptized brought one of her friends along. He has been wanting to meet with us and learn more about our religion! So we met and talked with him at the social which was awesome. He seems very interested and loves the way our church is run and the people that are in it. We found out after wards that one of the members asked if he was a member and he said "No, I am not but I will be soon" !!!!!! I was like what???!!!! Ha it was pretty funny. So we are super stoked about talking with him (John) and teaching him so that he can become a member.

Another awesome experience happened after church yesterday. So we are running low on miles and are really trying to not drive at all! So we have been hitch hiking with members and basically anyone. Anyways after church we were talking with one of the Senior couples in our ward about some of the people they have been meeting with and we asked if they would like to come and meet Bonnie with us? (we needed a ride haha) They said of course so we went out there and no one was home except for their son Charlie. We were a little down and started to drive out of their driveway and then Bonnie her husband Larry and there friend Regina (from Utah and LDS) pull in. So we hop out and begin to talk and eventually get inside. It was a great visit and it was definitely inspired to bring the Senior couple. They meshed so well and now they will feel even more comfortable when they come to church. It is pretty crazy some of the connections we have been making. I guess Bonnies brother John is from Mesa. He is a stake president or bishop and is coming up soon!!! She is so ready to except the Gospel now and her husband is slowly desiring to come back. We are pretty excited to be a part of this and are really praying that all will work out.

Thanks for all of your support I could not do this without you.

Love,

Elder Bevan
