Hello everyone! Exchanges-where one missionary goes to another area for a day.   TUESDAY: So Tuesday we went on exchanges and I got to go to Rochester. And they had meet this guy named Jon who owned a business selling something. We had a lesson with him. Every time we tried to teach him something and testify he was determined we were trying to sell him something. I'm just trying to spread light!  Not trying to "sell" haha.  Apparently I would be good at a marketing career. WEDNESDAY: Was an awesome day! One of our recent converts, Logan, showed up early to YM while we were at the church so we played Frisbee with him. We met the cutest family as well as their family friend! They have a cute 3 year old named Skyler.

  Hello everyone! TUESDAY: So we were checking out these apartment complexes and it didn't look like we could go door to door.

We were able to exchange numbers, give him a Book of Mormon, and invite him to church!  He is trying for a band in another church ... but he said he would study the Book of Mormon and maybe drop by church so we are so excited!
