Elder Ben Hilburn: Pray I Stay!

Yo yo yo what is up everybody?! I know it's been a little while since I have written and I'm sorry. I ain't a perfect person. So here I am writing a letter right now lol. The past couple weeks have been decently busy. We are not as busy as we were when we first got here but things are still moving along nicely. As of October 11th we are now allowed to go to church every week!! Also we are allowed to have up to 100 people at

church. We went this last Sunday and it was so weird seeing more than 25 people in a church building at one time haha. I literally hadn't seen that in just shy of 8 months. Blows my mind that it’s already been just about that long in quarantine. At least we are not in full lockdown like we were for 6 months. We can actually do stuff. Kinda... We were recently made aware that we will not be able to meet with members in person anymore period. Which totally stinks. We are gonna miss being able to meet with members because it was so nice being able to go over to their back porches or front porches haha and just get to know them and spend sometime with the members in person. But, oh well that is gone and I can't do nothin’ about it.

On a happier note, we met with Jaydon, who is one of our super solid investigators and he is planning to get baptized here pretty soon. We met with him and he told us that he met with Bishop earlier that day and he set his official baptismal date for October 25th!!! Super stoked for him and can’t wait!!

Transfers are coming up and I will find out my fate on Saturday. I really hope I stay but I don’t call the shots around here unfortunately, God does that part. But if it was my choice I would definitely stay. So we will find out on Saturday what is gonna go down.

I know this a bit shorter of a email but I hope you all are doing well and hanging in there!

SEND IT FOR THE LORD
