#HOOPFEST

Hey y'all, 

We had a killer week this week. First off we were able to meet with Bryan 3 times. He will be baptized this Saturday at 11:30 am, I am so humbled to see his exponential progression in such a short amount of time. The Lord truly walks with each of us. This is all you need to know about Bryan is that he joked about putting a black bath-bomb in his baptism jumpsuit. I laughed very hard. 

We met with our normal less-actives this week. We met with the wiccan lady again. I don't remember if I mentioned her last week, she is mormon but she is also a wiccan. They believe some weird, border line satanic stuff. Like voodoo and witchcraft. It is kind of spooky. Anyway they said that they are going to read the book of mormon and we will keep meeting with them as long as they do. Found a few new investigators this week, but honestly Bryan was the highlight. 

The rest of our time this week was really filled, on Thursday we were able to attend the Temple. It was awesome as usual. Wednesday we had an 8 hour zone conference.

Hands down the best part of the week was HOOP FEST. For those of you who don't know, hoop fest is a 3v3 street ball tournament. It is a huge deal in Spokane. Half the city was shut down Friday and Saturday. People come from all over Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California to play. There were several hundred (at least) courts with different games going on for all ages. We went and walked around talking to people and watching basketball. It was so cool. Kevin Durant even showed up, CRAZY! I got a sweet tan and watched some good basketball.

"I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the
presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy,
ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander
in the maze of mediocrity.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until
Heaven returns, give until I drop, preach until all know,
and work until He comes. And when He comes to get
His own, He will have no problem recognizing me.
My colors will be clear."

Remember who you are!
