Well everything is going good here in Beatrice. Tuesday is really progressing and is doing awesome she has been to church 4 weeks in a row! And is doing great we are working on the word of wisdom with her and helping her quit. We were also able to go on exchanges in Marysville Ks this past week with Elder Haddock and Gutenberger and I was with Haddock and we have fun together and tracted and street contacted almost the whole day. We also have transfers next week and since Monday is Labor day I wont email until Tuesday and will let you all know what is happening.

This week was awesome we were able to go on exchanges in Lincoln in the Yankee hill ward. The elder I was with and myself were super set on teaching everyone who god placed in our path so that is exactly what we did and we were able to be teaching all day, but the coolest experience was we were teaching a 20 something year old from Brazil on the side walk of a super busy road and when we started teaching her about the first vision traffic halted and there was no traffic that passed us well we were teaching her the first vision it was one of the coolest experiences ever.

Well we did another good week of tracting, we found some crazy people this week. We found one guy who believes that Heavenly father should be called Heavenly Grandpa instead because Grandpa is higher than Father.
We also met a lady who said she tolerates religion it was a pretty crazy week here for us. 
We were able to have a lesson with one of the potentials  that we found last week and taught him the message of the restoration. He had a lot of questions and didn't really know anything about prophets or the atonement so that was what we really focused in with him.
This week is going to be a amazing week we are going to have exchanges in Yankee hill from Tuesday to Wednesday and then on Friday we have Zone Conference.
Love you

We were able to do a lot of tracting this week, so we saw a lot of doors. I didn't have any funny experiences like last week.:( But we were able to find some solid potentials that we have appointments with this week.

 One of them that really stuck out to me was a guy named Nathan!! He is a good guy the way we contacted him was awesome we knocked on his door and he answered it and you could tell by his face he did not want to see missionaries on the other side of that door we talked to him for a second and then asked if we could talk to him for a like 5 min and he said sure i'm going to take a smoke outside, so we went to the front of the apartment complex he lived in and talked to him about what we do and he said he doesn't really know If God is there. So we were able to bear testimony of Heavenly Father and that really softened his heart and he talked to us about his daughters and how he wants to know for them. That was the coolest experience all week but this week is going to be a awesome week as well.  
Love you guys

We found a new investigator this week named Tuesday and her daughters name is Sunday it is great. We found her through a member in the Shenandoah ward in the Council Bluffs stake, she called us and said that she was struggling and wanted to see the missionaries, so we tried her and she wasn't there but we were able to see her the next day which was good. We are helping her come closer to Jesus Christ and she has a strong desire to get baptized. She said her family is going to disown her when she gets baptized but she knows it is what she wants to do so that was awesome.
We also have transfers so we will know what is happening with us tomorrow if we stay together or not. I'm pretty sure we will stay together another transfer.
Other than that this week consisted of a lot of tracting. We were able to talk to a guy names Willi$ with the dollar sign, he was way fun to talk to he called us over to him and said he are you guys the Mormons and we were said "YES" and he sais his dad was a Mormon, so that was cool talking to him we wanted to know how we save money so well because he said he dad learned that from the church. We also talked to a guy that tried to convert us to Atheist so that was fun it has to be so weird not to believe there is nothing after this life, he was a very hard hearted man and didn't want us to talk with him but he wanted to talk to us and have us listen to him to try to convert us to Atheist, just so you all know it didn't work I still LOVE JESUS CHIRST!!!
Love you all
