Hey Family,
Everyone in my ward is talking about college football now that the season is starting. I heard BYU lost by 1 this weekend haha brutal! I didn't hear anything about the Ute game but hopefully they won! I'm guessing Tyler is going to be married in 6 months haha! That's sweet that Bamuel had a comeback in his football game!
Transfers are coming up next week and we get the transfer news on Saturday. I have a big possibility that I'll be transferred. I hope I stay at least one more because the area is doing really well right now and the ward is catching the vision of missionary work! There are rumors that they are going to reopen the YSA branch in our stake to missionaries. It was closed down a while back because we lost a lot of missionaries and there wasn't much work going on there, but now a lot of new missionaries are coming in so they may reopen it! Elder Burton and I are hoping that we can take over the branch! Who knows what will happen though?
This week was pretty good. No Amy did not get baptized... So we had a lesson with her last week and we kinda came up with a plan to let Shawn know about the baptism. We were with a member and the member suggested to write him a letter letting him know her feelings about it and her decision. So she decided that we would postpone the baptism to this Saturday and give him the letter on the Saturday of last week. So she wrote up the letter and we all fasted and prayed a ton that Shawn's heart would be softened, and we all said that whatever happens it's the Lord's will. So she gave Shawn the letter and he ripped it up and threw it in her face and cussed her out for a couple hours before he left the home to go get drunk at a casino or something... So she and the kids left and stayed at her parents house for a while and they ended up coming to Church on Sunday even with everything going on which was amazing. But we realized that this Saturday is not going to work for the baptism because her daughter will be with her dad on a campout. So we have set the date for Oct. 2nd the day before conference! We're still deciding what to do about Shawn but Amy will be baptized whether it's on the 2nd or later!! I really hope I don't get transferred so I can be here for it! She said that she wants me to be the one to baptize her so I hope I can be here! The rest of our week was pretty crazy as well haha! We ran into a lot of crazy people while tracting and we had a lot of cancellations but that's ok because most of them moved their appointments to this week so we have a lot going on this week! Tonight our Stake President is coming out with us to some appointments so that will be sweet!
Anyways, I love and miss all of you and I hope everything is going well! Keep choosing the right! I'll talk to you all next week!
Love Elder Summerhays
