This was a really good week. Monday and Tuesday were used for dinners for Elder Hymer to say goodbye to the people in our area. They were pretty good days because we had an awesome lesson with Destinee. She wanted to make sure that she had fully followed the steps that it takes for her to be baptized because she wants to make sure that this one is the right one. Wednesday I drove up to Edmond to pick up Elder Hammond. He is from Sacramento, California and has been out on his mission one transfer more than I have.
Saying goodbye to Elder Hymer!
He was so good for Elder McMinn!

Something really cool that we starting in our ward is a 40 day fast. We pass around a calendar that is marked for 40 days and various individuals sign up for a specific day to fast for the missionary work in the ward. We will send out reminder texts the night before. We will also include any cool miracles we see or the lessons we have in the text to the member(s) and let them know their faith was part of that miracle. So far we have seen a baptism date, double the amount of lessons, and double the number of return appointments in our area.

Sunday we had only 4 hours to do regular missionary work but those 4 hours were the most productive 4 hours I have seen and some of the most rewarding 4 hours at this time of my mission. This was such an awesome week.

Transfer pictures
We got lots of pictures this week because of transfers. I get after Kyle because I want to see him in the mission pictures so this week he did his job!
Note to mom:
Did you like how many times I showed up in the pictures from transfers. I tried to make up for all the times I didn't and I will improve from here on out. Did you hear me in the video. I did that for you ;)
We love that missionary of ours... he makes me smile!
