Excerpts from Letter to Parents 9/13/2017

Elder De Hoyos from the Quorum of the Seventy was visiting the Wa-Tac mission this past Monday and Tuesday, so Elder Bullough did not get a P-day until Wednesday (9/13). He decided to not write a group email letter since Monday isn't that far away. The following are excerpts from his email letter to his parents:

Monday and Tuesday we had our mission tour with Elder De Hoyos and his wife. We learned a ton. The overall theme of what he taught was being better at member missionary work. It was a lot of information but the most powerful part was when Sister De Hoyos shared her conversion story of when she joined the church. It was incredibly powerful. And my favorite part about Elder De Hoyos is how laid back and positive he is. It seemed like that man has no fears in the world!

B kind of fell off the teaching pool... so we did not end up baptizing her. Although we had B fall off, we had some serious miracles happen and we have 3 solid people that we are teaching now! Two of them are on date for Saturday! 

C is doing great! He came to church last week, is planning on coming this week, and should be getting baptized this week so keep him in your prayers. He is way awesome and is totally converted! He is way fun to be around and super relaxed, our lessons with him are super fun. Like the last lesson we had with him, we just had him teach us the whole thing like we were investigators haha. It was a cool way to teach and it definitely worked well in that situation. 

Here are all of the pictures of me with the last group of departing missionaries. They have served pretty much their whole mission with me because we came out only a transfer apart (six weeks).
