This week was pretty great! We met with Neil and Heather a couple times and they are doing well. Neil had to go to the hospital because he thought that he had sugar poisoning, but he ended up being okay. They still aren't reading their scriptures every day and we asked them what they thought was holding them back and if there was any way we could help remind them to do it and they said no we just need to remember. So we challenged them to make it their first priority when they get up in the morning so that they can remember to do it, but also so that they start their day out right. They said that they would so we will follow up with them when we meet them again.
As of lately our wards have created a new ward mission plan and it has really gotten them excited about doing missionary work. This week we are going on splits with the Ward Missionaries as well as the Elder's Quorum President and one of his Counselors. A lot of the ward is wanting to help in any way it's awesome! So this week we will be contacting a lot of the people in the ward as we go on splits.
We also met with Bradley this week, he is doing well. He is getting excited and can't wait for the river to go down so that he can go out hunting for ammonite. It was his birthday on Thursday and so Adam had the idea of getting donuts for him so we got in his truck and we headed for Timy's. While going through the drive through my companion Elder Sorensen said lets get 11 donuts and a bagel and so thats what we did we still haven't talked to Bradley about it to see if he has noticed by now even though I'm sure he has. That was just a funny moment from the week.
On Saturday our stake had the family fun run, actually the same stake family fun run that Elder Shah and I ran in last year. It was pretty fun to run in it again this year. Elder Sorensen rode the bike while I ran the 5K. I won a shirt and when I was looking at the sizes I noticed I had
accidentally grabbed the Youth Large instead of the Adult Large and so its just a bit short on me and looks like a muscle shirt on me, which is too bad. Maybe it will fit Derick though.

Well that's just the highlights of this week hope you all continue to do well! This is my last month and I plan to push hard to the end. I can't wait to see you all again! Have a great week!
Love, Elder Allred
