Missionary work with a returned missionary and a funeral

This week has been really good. We were able to get with a newly returned missionary while he is still in missionary mode. He was taking us around and we taught like 5 of his family members and a few other people that he knows. At first I was like, oh boy I am going to have to deal with this guy for a few months, but then after a bit I realized I actually like him a lot. He is a really cool guy. All he wants is to have his entire family in the gospel, so he has been working with them and us towards their baptism. It was actually really cool. We taught his mom the restoration, and then asked if he could set her with a baptism date! It was very spiritual. But best part is that he would drive us around, and it was bike week. haha

Anyways, the other big thing to mention is that last Sunday, I got asked to give a talk at a funeral. The weird part was, that I didn't even know the lady at all or the guy who asked us to give the talk. So we actually had another appointment at the same time, so we had to do double work that night. So at the funeral the first thing that was funny was the bishop said at the start welcome to the baptism..... then after that, a member of the ward got up and spent about 40 minutes sharing a story that wasn't even about the lady. I felt so bad for the family. The people started to get bored with him speaking. Luckily after he took up most of the time, the lady who was in charge told us to take only a few minutes. So I just was supposed to bear my testimony about my mission and how it has changed my life. It was pretty cool because you don't really think about the changes you have made until you point them out. Anyways that is all from me! I hope y'all have a good week and that y'all let me know whats up from the 435!!
