Elder Carter & Elder Fowler

Hi Everyone,

First things first...I'll get to what has happened this week, but I want to talk about a companionship that served here in the barn, only a couple of months ago. Elder Carter and Elder Fowler were both here in the barn serving in the Clear Creek Ward, the exact same ward I'm serving in! From what I've heard, they were amazing missionaries and had an awesome spirit about them. Back in March, during the big rain season, they were driving home on the highway and a car heading the opposite direction lost control, resulting in a head-on collision. Consequently, both Carter and Fowler were reunited with their Heavenly Father that night. My companions showed me the exact turn where it all happened, and it's along our drive into town every single day. Since then, the barn has been a famous area on the mission, I feel super honored that I've gotten the opportunity to serve in the exact area as Elder Carter and Elder Fowler. I personally believe that this area is so blessed and has so much support from the ward because those two elders are helping us on the other side. In honor of them, we still have all their writings on the whiteboard in the apartment, we also have a picture of them up too. It's a constant reminder to be obedient, drive safely, and to work as hard as they did. 

This week we had a lot of crazy things happen to us as well. We had a lady with dementia think that we stole something from her and it was kinda crazy to help her out and tell her repeatedly that we weren't the people who took her money. We also had a gentleman yell at us and curse us due to our faith; strangely enough, it actually put me in a good mood. We also put a man named Tom on baptismal date, he's super awesome and we are all praying for him that he will be able to have a super awesome experience with this.

Those are just some of the things I wanted to talk about this week. I love y'all and I'll talk to you guys next week!!
