Hey Family,

This past week has been a good one. I am no longer in a threesome but transfers are tomorrow and Elder Fry and I are sticking together. My best two buddies are leaving though and I am pretty bummed about that. Elder Morrison is going to be the Zone Leader in Lexington and he will be working on UK during March! I am kinda jealous and we don't know where Elder Garrity is going.

Me and Elder Fry had a really good week though. We are teaching a
family of 4 and they are super cool. Things are looking real good for
them. We are also teaching another family and we have been teaching
them ever since I got here, and they are starting to progress.
The ward has finally warmed up to us, and we have a dinner appoinment
every weekday this week. We will have more this week than I have had
my whole time here! So that is exciting!

For the crazy story catagory:
We were eating at McDonald's and this guy walks up to me and elder fry
and tries to start Bible bashing. So I slid over and told him to sit
down by me.
Elder Fry and I started being real friendly to him and just talked
for 4 min about nothing to him and then we started to teach him. We
cleared up all of his concerns and we are meeting him at the church on
Wednesday. He tried to show off his Bible knowledge by reciting Hebrews
1:1-3. So then Elder Fry and I both recited some scriptures from the
Bible and he decided he was done bashing. It was funny.
Then we had a lesson with Tom again. We went in and he had scribbled
all over the Book of Mormon and said that it was not the word of God.
So we sat there while he yelled at us and told us we were wrong. So I
pulled out 2 Nephi 29:7-9 and that calmed him down a little. Then
Elder Fry bore solid testimony and we read 3 Nephi 11. He then told us
that he didn't give the Book of Mormon a chance. So he told us he
would really read and pray about it. That is about it from Evansville.
We are suppose to have 50 more tornados hit in the next little while.

Love

Elder Dye
