Elder Austin Reid: September 11th, 2017

Hey everyone!

Hope you all had a terrific week!

I can´t believe its already September! Time is flying and these next couple weeks are super loaded with fun things so its gonna fly by!

So this week was pretty awesome! First off, on Wednesday we we invited to march in the independence day parade. We had to wake up at 4 and gather everyone from the zone together to get a bus because the buses only pass like every hour on holidays and we had to be downtown at 7:30 to start so we made it there on time but turns out that it didn't actually start until like 9 am

We weren't allowed to take pictures because we were marching but the church had people there taking pics for us. I only have one but I'm pretty sure we will get more.

This week was pretty tough on the missionary side of things because it was a week full of holidays here so basically everybody was traveling and it's almost the end of the school year as well so everybody is starting summer break. Its been way hard to find people to teach because literally nobody stays home and is always busy on the weekends but we are still stoked to share the good news of the gospel.

But speaking of summer, its way freaking hot here again and the missionary tan lines are going strong!

The other day it got up to like 104 degrees so that was way fun!

This Saturday and Sunday we have our stake conference so everybody has been doing lots of preparations. We are excited and here in a couple weeks it's already gonna be general conference! That's crazy!

This week is gonna be super packed cause we have a wicked awesome FHE planned for tonight, Tomorrow we have district meeting, on Wednesday we have our Zone leader meeting, Thursday we have planned to go on splits with one of the district leaders in our zone, Friday we have some baptismal interviews to do and on Saturday and Sunday we have stake conference and priesthood sessions!

Love you all! The gospel rocks!!
