Hey

So this week has been alright we have had such great success int he last couple of weeks we have been spoiled. So this last week felt like a bad week, but in reality we have been have phenomenal weeks. So this one has actually been a good week. The weather is starting to change a lot, its dropped like 20 degrees up here and the sun stats going sown at like 4:30 in the afternoon and by 5 its dark, which makes tracting an street contacting a lot harder but that's ok we still work our hardest. We have been having some awesome success with our investigators, Nicholas who is 10 is on date for baptism for the twenty first of December so that is so cool, we also have a investigator Andrea who is in her early thirties, she is going to be baptized, but she wants her mom to be there when she does but her mom cant come over till like spring time so we told her to pray about a date and see what the lord says so we will see. A lot of our other investigators have been dropping appointments which is dad but we are not deterred we will keep working at it. I had such a cool experience last night, i was calling some of the investigators on our phone that we have never seen before and i called a few and no one answered so i just left it and went on with what i needed to do, like 15 minutes later someone called back and we started having a discussion about some of his concerns, his name was Neal and i basically had a lesson with him over the phone it was kinda weird, anyways he wanted to have us over for supper but he isn't in our area, but he demanded that we go and have supper with him and he said that he would call the people in charge and convince them to let us come over because he said i was a good kid and he wanted to talk to me more. So we are going over with the sisters from that area on Wednesday night to go and have supper. Crazy right??? haha its amazing the things the lord will do to enable us to contact his people. This last Saturday was my one month mark for being out on my mission and it is so crazy to think about, i love it out here and it doesn't really feel like ive been out that long, but another really cool story that i just remembered just now was that on Saturday our investigator Andrea was having a really rough day so she went over to one of her friends house and talked with her and wanted to get some advice, but as she sat there listening to the advice she kept thinking this is wrong, this is wrong, why am i thinking that this is wrong advice? So she said a prayer and she looked out the window and what did she see?? Popcorn popping off the apricot, no she saw Elder Barnes and i walking down the street,so she got up and said she had to leave and went home prayed and read her scriptures and she felt better how cool is that!?!?! It just goes to show that you can be an influence for good at all times and you never know whose watching your actions, so you should always be choosing the right and be an example for good. Everything is awesome here i love all of you and i will write you all next week 

Love, Elder Bethea
