snow/winter doesn't stop a baptism :)

 dear your family and friends

 so this week was a really good week I got to go to Josh's baptism which was awesome I was really excited for that and I got to be a witness at his baptism so that was awesome and it was so great to see him and really to see that he had a testimony of Joseph Smith like that made me really happy and it was just really awesome that was on Thursday and two that was awesome we also did service for sister Boughton one of our investigators and she came to church this week which was really awesome and we're going to keep on working with her she's been working with the missionaries for about 10 years so it's been a long road but seems like she's coming closer and closer.

 and then we also had a dinner with the Martin kids and had a lesson that went really well they're really excited to keep working with us and we found out that elder omBach is leaving we don't know where or who I'm getting so weird said to see what happens and he's been Hastings for a while so he's sad but happy to leave. 

 and then we had a really fun District meeting and so this is all the Peterson's last transfer he was my last companion and so we usually call it when someone's in there last transfer there dying and so you'll really enjoy the pictures there

pretty funny and then we also have been working with James Anderson and he is doing really well and we got back in contact with him and we're going to try to read the scriptures with him every other day and it also snowed again on Saturday so we are pretty much inside all day and we went a little stir crazy but it was good and we had seven investigators at church so that was awesome it so great to have pretty much all of our investigators at church it was sweet well I hope you guys had a great week let me know about it and I love you all

End of March--April played a Prank

Dear family and friends 

 so this week was so good I love General Conference.The announcement of changing elders quorum and high priest to combine together to be one elder's quorum was it an amazing idea and it will be really good for branches and it will be really good for the Hastings Ward here and yeah I'm really excited for it. and so this week we had exchanges and I went with elder wall and that was lots of fun we talked a lot and I have these two foam swords and I gave him one and I knighted him with it and then he killed me so that was fun he loves fencing and so we had a lot of fun with that and we fought like all night with the swords so it was awesome and then on April 1st we had a big surprise here it snowed about 4 inches and and so there's a video that I'll send with this but it was crazy it was like Mother Nature is trying to pull an  April Fools prank on us so we went to the Clements for General Conference on Sunday and that was really fun and they're really nice and we decorated eggs with the kids and it was just awesome I just love being here in Hastings and also love being on my mission I just wanted to share with you guys just a little bit about what I liked about General Conference the main thing that I really liked was the Solemn assembly was so sweet and how all the Apostles really talked about it and focused on it and so it just was really amazing and also I just love the different talks about missionary work and really just being prepared for the second coming and also just being the best we can be now but I hope you guys had a wonderful conference let me know what you liked about it and I will email you back about what I thought. I hope you guys have a great rest of your week and I love you all

Across the river to Hastings

dear family and friends 

 got transferred to hasting witch is the area right below grand island so i didnt move very far so I am in the same district and my new comp is elder ombach he is from Roy UT and he reminds me a lot of  tyson it is kinda weird but I am excited so this week I had a cool experience  so it all started with the abundece (20 bucks to use to help others) my dad gave me right befor my mission and so I found out i was getting transfered and so we went and saw jeff thomas and found out he lost his job and he was really low on his money and so I remembered what you said to use it to help others and so I gave it to him and at first he said he didnt want it but i said you need it so I gave it to him and so we said bye and then later that day we went and saw another person and she gave us goodbye bags and she gave me a card and I opened it about 2 hours later and found 60bucks in there and so I used that to refill my abundece and so I thought that was just amazing thing that happened I love serving others and see the lord work though me. 

and then this week elder ombach and I thought we were going to be bike missionaries because we both don't have our driving privileges but he found out he could drive again and that made him super happy and I hope he does not drive as crazy as elder Winward or Tyson.

Week before Transfers

 Dear family and friends

 so this week was a pretty good week so transfers are on Wednesday and I'll find out tomorrow if I'm being transferred so send stuff to the mission office if you're sending anything so this week we had a pretty good lesson with Josh after district meeting and district meeting was really good too.we went over the baptismal interview questions and he only really had problem with one and it was with modern day prophets so we're working well with him and we hope he will still get baptized on the 17th but we think that everything will go well he's just having kind of a hard time being all in but we're going to keep working with him and he seems like he is moving closer and closer to it so I probably won't be here when he gets baptized but I'll let you know if she does also this week on Saturday we went with Jeff Thomas one of our returning members to this Mormon trail and we took pictures and had a lot of fun and we had lunch with him it's just a great time and it was just really cool to go to that historical site and to see that.  and then we had dinner with another one of our less active members Philip casner  and he's doing really well and he's going to start coming back to church so yeah we've been really working with less actives  lately but seems like we're going to get a lot more investigators pretty soon but so this week we are challenged by Pres. Gardner to go through this list that Pres. Nelson made about the book of Mormon what it refuse what it that's fries about and different stuff like that and there's just really cool to go through all the different things that the book Mormon covers  and help us understand and so that was really cool and then we  went to Omaha on Tuesday and I got to go to the doctor that was fun but what really sucked is that I left my scriptures in Omaha so I'll get those on Wednesday and so I've been having to use like the paperback book Mormons until I've also been using my phone which is nice but it's just not the same I miss my quad but well that was pretty much are weeknot too much happened but I hope you guys had a great week let me know how your week is in your response to this email or another email that he sent me I love you guys

 love elder Brewster
