He Can't Wait to Hold the Priesthood!

November 2, 2015

Hi Ya'll! 

So yesterday me and my comp kinda forgot about the time change.  We thought we got up at about at 6:30 but we actually got up at 5:30. Our elders picked us up for church and when we got there we were all confused because people still weren't there and it was almost nine. One of the members commented and said that we were really early for church, which just confused us more. We asked the member what time it was, and than we remembered the time change and that an we were an hour in a half early for church!lol 

Jonathan's (Destiney's dad) doing great! He got a blessing from our Elders and really liked it, he was pumped to get a blessing from them!:D He also can't wait to hold the Priesthood, which is super cool because I've never had a an investigation be so excited about receiving the Priesthood and about the Book of Mormon. Jonathan's trying to stop smoking and he's really started to use less and less. Jonathan's so ready to be baptized, he's loving everything we're teaching him and it all clicks with him. Jonathan is pretty much our mission dad and his family (The Stricklands) is pretty much our family. Whenever we go there, which is all the time, they feed us and they don't care if we just snack on their food. They even asked if it would be ok with our parents if they adopted us and kept us forever lol The girls love us, little Hailey sometimes gives me a kiss on the cheek. She is so cute!:D They'll probably be the hardest family to leave. I'm so glad i at least have 4 more weeks here!

We went to the beach last week for our p-day and it was way fun! And I caught another fish! It wasn't very big but it was still legit:D While we were walking down the pier we started talking to this guy that was fishing and he let me use his fishing pole, literally 10 seconds later a fish caught hold of the hook and I reeled it in :D I got a couple of pictures of me holding it and pretending to eat it. 

Also, please tell Grandma that I love her and happy birthday!:D Well I got to go but love ya'll and hope ya'll have a great week!

Love, Sister Keables
