Aug. 8th email from Elder Dahl:

So transfers came and gone! not a single person in our entire zone (18 missionaries) got transfered.. so its kind of weird cause no one expected that, but we are here for reasons, this week has been so joyful! no crazy stories like last week, but just overall a very happy week! one of our investigators, Dan Barton has been strong to his commitment to keeping the word of wisdom, his baptism is this saturday, when we talk to him about the gospel he is just so up-beat about talking about it, he said the other morning he was thinking about his baptism and what it meant  and he started crying.


  Its so amazing to see the hand god plays in all of our lives, dan was able to feel of the truthfullness of our message, apply it, and then he could not deny it, he knows that its true! and his roommate danny is seeing this change in him, and he wants it also, danny is starting to feel of this change, and he set his baptismal date for the 20th, i am so excited for the things that im able to witness!

so we had probably one of the craziest storms iv ever seen! i live on the road (rock rd.) and there was entire tree's in the street the next morning! if there is one thing that i like about kansas it is the lighting storms but not the wind.

Also with bryson, he came to church for the first time yesterday, he loved it all, in the past week he has read the entire book of mormon, every pamphlet we have left with him, and most of joseph smith history, iv never met anyone like him, we taught him the restoration on saturday and when we started talking about the prophet joseph smith, and how an moroni led him to the gold plates he started talking about when moroni buried the plates, he didnt even tell us he read the whole book of mormon, but man his growth has been insaine! after church yesterday he asked if every Sunday was like this, we told him yes. and he was so relieved, he was actually happy, cause during classes its a group discussion, his former church, they wouldnt let them have open conversations, you were not really allowed to ask questions, or anything, so he enjoyed church a lot!

He also said to us, is there a chance i could move my baptismal date up. we told him of course, he is trying to get this sunday off so that he can be baptized next Saturday!

Everyone is waiting on me! so got to go! but love you all! here is also a picture of p-day bowling and of me and Elder Decker!
