Hi Family!

First of all I want to thank everyone who sends me letters weekly! It means the world to me to get a weekly letter from you all! I appreciate it more than you know! It sounds like you guys are doing pretty good this week. I got Jesus the Christ, and thank you so much because everyone and their dog is reading it, and says it's the best ever! Anyways this week was pretty good! Randy's baptism is this week and we are pumped!!!! He is getting baptized this Saturday and he says that he wants me to baptize him!! When he said that ,I almost started crying because the Spirit was so strong and I was so happy!! We can't wait to baptize him and we can't wait to see the awesome effect it will have on his life! This is what a mission is all about, seeing Randy grow and come to know Jesus Christ and HeavenlyFather has been the most amazing thing on the planet!! I love being a missionary and I know Heavenly Father wants me here! While me and elder Gardner were on exchanges this week he and elder Yates, one of our zone leaders, were just tracting and they got a call from our Bishop and he was at the church watching a priest's basketball game, and he said that someone came up to him and he just started asking questions about the church! So Bishop called elder Gardner and said that there was someone at the church that wanted to know more about the Gospel and Elder Gardner and Elder Yates taught him for like 2 hours about almost everything about our church!! It was crazy and he said he would be baptized once he knows it's true! It's awesome! His name is Avrim and he asks a TON of questions which is great! We can't wait to keep teaching him and eventually baptize him! Anyways besides that, that's about our week! I love all of you and I hope you're staying safe and doing the right things! Thanks for all the support and love that you all give me, it means the world!! Talk to you later!

Love Elder Summerhays
