Go Big, or Go Home!

Hey everybody! 

So  my inbox was filled with like a thousand pictures this morning! Loved them all! Everything looks great at home! It looks like everyone is having a blast! Ry Guy with the lady friend! Well done big dog! She is a cutie! Nick well done on the tournament! looks like you mom and dad had a lot of fun! And Annie... Put my hat back!!!! haha No its chill, im positive that all my stuff has already been taken out of my room, used, and maybe destroyed... Just means I will have to buy some new clothes and things here before I come home!!! haha 

So Lake Powell this week.... Thats all we are going to talk about that.... haha Send Pictures! 

Then the week after Nick and Ryan have camp and are rooming together? That should be a blast! You both better do work! Let those coaches know who the Carrigan Brothers are! In fact, make sure the whole camp knows who the Carrigan Brothers are! haha And then, always be humble! ;) 

So I am going to be honest guys, this week killed me! We worked SO hard, and our week was incredible! we killed it! We taught a ton of lessons!!! haha it was insiane! We also found a ton of new investigators! We did splits with the youth in our ward like all week, and just went to town! When we didnt have visits, we went to the parks and malls and just taught people! On benches, sittign on the grass, on the play grounds, it didnt even matter, we just taught! We found some new investigators and some are progressing. 

As of now, we have two baptismal dates. One is still with Nikole. She is doing great, but the problem is her parents dont want to support her... Her parents told her that they would sign the paper and that she could be baptized, but they would not come to the baptism... She is progressing really well, and honestly could be baptized tomorrow, but she just really wants her parents to support her in what she is doing... Please keep her in your prayers! She will be baptized on the 20th.

We also found a girl this week names Maria. She is 21 and from Peru. More than anything, she just has a desire to learn and to know! She has never been baptized into any church and knows that baptism is important. But she told us that before she is baptized she wants to know exactly what she is doing! She couldnt be anymore prepared! We set the goal for her to be baptized on the 27th of this month and promised her that she would recieve an answer if she did her part. I couldnt be more confident! She will be a solid investigator and the youth here in our ward are amamzing! 

I am loving our ward! They are incredible! I think with all this hype about missions, the youth are just pumped to go on missions and more than anything they want to help us whenever they can! It has been incredible how much the ward is helping us, Now we just need to find a way for them to share the gospel with there friends! That way I dont need to be in the street dying from the heat all day! haha O yeah! Did I mention how freaking hot it is here!!!!!!! IM DYING! haha Lets just say going to bed sweating every night really isnt my favorite thing in the world! haha 

So yeah... Thats it for this week. We are planning on going hard again next week! I dont know if I will make it another 10 months, but im going to die trying! haha

Love you guys a ton! Have a great time at Powell and like I said, Please send lots of pictures! :) 

Hugs and Kisses! :) haha that was a little gay
