The latest! Enjoy!

I am good! The weather has drastically changed and it's getting cooler every day now! It has been different with Sister Wagher. Not better or worse, just different. With Sister Harris, from the very first day we realized how similar we were there were a lot of times that we didn't even have to talk about something because we just knew what the other was thinking and me and Sister Wagher are different  So that has been a big change. We get along really well though. She is from Mesa Arizona and is 19 just barely graduated in May, so that I think is a big reason in has been so different just because she is so young and has never been away from home or anything before. It was quite an adjustment. 

To clarify on the steak, it wasn't an Omaha steak brand but I think it was better, sorry to make you [Hayden] jealous. It was from a different meat packing company that is also in Omaha. I had heard about the game. BYU is a pretty big deal here too. A lot of our ward is military and a lot have gone to BYU,  so I did hear about that. BYU  is not near as big of a deal as the Huskers games though. Everyone is wearing red and we can't really even contact people on game days and if you try to tract you just get yelled at. Thankfully I learned that from other missionaries not from experience. 
This week has been kind of crazy. We had a big zone training, so everyone from our zone (which is our stake) got together instead of just our districts and president had asked us the previous week to give our 5 copies of the Book of Mormon a week, but at the zone training they asked us to pass out one a day. Seems like it wouldn't be a problem, but it has been so cool just to see how big of a difference in has made in less than a week! Since we have been trying to literally talk to everyone we see about the Book of Mormon, it has made a huge difference in how many we actually give out and even with how many people we talk to about the church. Even if they don't want a copy, we usually have a good conversation with them about the Church and it has been so cool. We also saw a huge miracle with another Less-active we had been working with. He has really roller-coasted with his testimony. Probably 4 weeks ago he all but told us he didn't believe in the Church. With the ward being involved, he said on Saturday that he is going to start completely over and go on a quest of sorts to see what Heavenly father wants for him to do in his life. I think one of my favorite things about being on a mission is seeing the change in people like that!

Thanks! Love you guys!
