Hey Family,
I can't believe school is starting up already! Summer always flies by even on your mission, but it sounds like you guys had an awesome summer! Congrats to Ava on being baptized and that's awesome that Jeff got to do it! 

This week was pretty good for me! We were able to teach a guy named Chris Gomez, I may have talked about him in the past but Elder Mikesell and I met him a while ago and have been trying to set up appointments with him for forever now! We tried stopping by a couple days ago and he let us into his backyard to teach him! We figured out his religious background and he was episcopal a while back and right now he is going to some Christian church a couple streets down from our area. He said it's kind of loud and irreverent but he loves the pastor there so that's why he keeps going. We were able to teach him the Restoration and focus on receiving an answer to prayer. He said that he really is seeking to know the truth and he said he would read and pray hard about the Book of Mormon and about our message, so we are excited to meet with him again this Sunday and talk about how it went! 

We did a lot of tracting and street contacting this week also and we met some people from London which was cool! We contacted them and it felt like I got a little taste of dad's mission haha! They had thick British accents and they were there visiting friends. They weren't really interested in the Gospel but they were really nice!

Anyways, things are going great in ABQ! We have MLC and Zone Training this week so we should be pretty busy! I hope you all are doing good and choosing the right! I love and miss each of you! Thanks for everything you guys do for me!

Love Elder Summerhays
