Week 26: Great Falls, VA "End of transfer 4!"

Heyyo!!

Oh my goodness! Another transfer down! Feels like me and Elder Poulsen just got together! We've got another 6 weeks together! I'm excited! Great Falls is the greatest ever! The members are just the best and we're seeing the blessings come!

To start, we blessed Marianna's baby yesterday! Elder Poulsen did it and it was awesome! Such a cool experience! Also, Marianna's parents were there, and they thought it was so cool! We're gonna try to start teaching them this week! Pray that all goes well and that they are prepared!

Marco is still smoking... a lot...... It's so hard to keep his fire going when we meet with him maybe once a week cause he's so busy... I told him you all are praying for him! He was so excited to hear that! He seriously loves the church!!! He says all the time that we are his family and that he feels so much love! He's totally gonna get baptized! He just needs to keep going on kicking his addictions!

Gisella, Marianna's friend that she nannies for, her husband that we are trying to continue teaching has been wanting to meet with us, but they were on a trip for the last couple weeks. But they got back so were gona visit them a couple timess this week! Should be good! Gisella is so convinced that he is getting baptized soon!!

We also have another awesome family that we are going to start teaching this week! They are friends of a member and came to church last week and loved it! The plan is to have dinner with them and the member family! They are so nice and really open! The mom just really wants her kids to be spiritually well and have good values and such. They came to the right place! 😂😉

I had another exchange with Elder Larsen, our DL, this week. He came here and we had a really good day! Nothing too crazy happened, but it's nice to get other missionaries ideas and work with them for a little!

We had our first zone conference with President Caplin this week! It was pretty good. We got to know him and his wife better and they are AMAZING! His wife is literally the best! She has such a tender relationship with the Savior! Also, I found out that President Caplin knows ASL!! I saw him do small signs here and there and asked him about it afterwards! Then we signed a little and everyone was like, WHAT?! It was pretty neat! He told me that when am find a deaf person, we'll teach them together! Guess I gotta brush up on my gospel ASL vocabulary, lol!

Tons of good is coming up in Great Falls! Operation "0013, License to Baptize" is in progress! The members are so involved and the blessings are coming!

Love you all! Keep praying and reading the best book in the world! (A.K.A. the Book of Mormon 👍) Heavenly Father loves you and wants to bless you! Give Him the opportunities to do so! Have a great week!

Love, Elder Duke

Pics!
-We were helping a member begin building a fence and we had to find the gas line. It was marked by the maintenance guys, but it was not there! Elder Poulsen dug like a 2 feet deep hole and never found it, lol!

-Audi R8. Just had to take a pic, lol! 😉 Same 5.2 Liter V10 in a Lamborghini Gallardo!😉

-Elders Simpson and Southard! They are the YSA missionaries in McLean. They're the best! 😂

-Champ, Marianna's parent's dog. The dad, Rey, says Champ is 5 going on 6 months! 😂 He's super hyper!
