This past week has been a crazy awesome killer one! Our area has finally boomed! Our investigators are progressing better then we could have ever guessed. We have had so much happen that will have to go day by day. Tuesday: We went and helped one of the sweetest recent converts seal his driveway and in turn he came with us to one of our appointments that day with Misty Clark. She is an investigator that I found my first week here with Elder Harper so back in January. We sat down and had a great lesson towards the end of it she told us that she knows that Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God and that She knows that everything we tell her is the truth. So that was pretty awesome! We will set a date with her on Thursday for her to be baptized. Wednesday: not much happened Thursday: We met with Derek "Elder" Hunter. He is an ordained Elder in a Baptist church, and is on track to become a Bishop which is as high as you can get. He had met with missionaries before but he lost contact with them. We went and knocked on his door two weeks ago and he was super excited to meet with us again. He showed up to our appointment dressed exactly like us and he told us he would like to be baptized. So we set his date for July 8th. Friday: We had Interviews with President Woodbury and he told me that we need to baptize Derek as soon as possible. While I was in my interview Derek called me and gave us an address of a lady he talked to on the street and gave a Book of Mormon to. I was super excited and President told me that he is the blessing for me and Elder Fry's hard and diligent work. He also hinted to me that I will be getting transferred on the 5th. We met with the Madison's that night and Bro Madison is super bummed that I am leaving. I am pretty sad that I will have to leave them too. We had a terrible lesson with him that night because another member of the ward was over and tried to force him to do things. He drove us home and we sat in his truck, and cleared up some wrong ideas she gave him for about an hour in front of our apartment. Sunday: Elder Hunter came to church! We met with him after and he is ready to be baptized. We called President and asked him if we could baptize him this upcoming Sunday, and he told us yes! So I will have some sweet pictures to send home! Monday: We went tracting after P-day was over and in an hour we found 6 new Investigators. It seems like once we got our momentum rolling it will be impossible to stop! The work of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent! Love you, Elder Dye
