busy week

Hey everyone!

  Happy Fathers Day Dad!! I hope it was all you ever hoped and dreamed for, and was an amazing day for you!

 This last week was good, zone conference was amazing! Elder Koelliker from the 70 came and did some training. We got tons of insight and the spirit was super strong, especially the testimony meeting at the end. The testimony meeting at the end was the strongest Ive felt the spirit in a long time, it was awesome, they had every missionary in the zone share their testimony, not many of the missionaries in the zone stayed dry in the eye. Then when we got back from zone conference we did exchanges for a day with our district leader from craig(since he has to pass through ketchikan to get to craig anyways), it was super good, we got alot done during that day and this week(for only in our area for half the week). We found another investigator during the exchange, hes a philipino guy and a bunch of his familys lds, he seems pretty solid. We met with Kodie this week, we taught him about feeling the spirit and recognizing the promptings of the spirit. It was good, hopefully we can get him on date soon for a baptism. Then on the exchange we met with Matt again, elder Weber and elder Terry gave him a blessing, he messed up his knee and was about to go get it checked out to see if he had to get surgery and it worked, he doesnt have to get surgery anymore and Matt recognized that it worked too. Oh and remember that guy that seemed cool when we went back to try and see his wife Kim? Yea he did a complete 180 again, when we went over he freaked out on us and was a bum, then he told us that we cant come back. But bishop gave us a referral for over in Metlakatla when we go next, seems pretty promising too. So this week was pretty good here.

 Your week sounds like it was incredibly bitter sweet. Thats so sad that Ammon died!  (Our friends lost their 21 year old son in a tragic accident last Wednesday)  I never got to see him after his mission, I was hoping I would be able to see him when I got back. My heart sunk when I read your emails, its so tough for his family, and especially Aaron (a brother of Ammon's whose serving in the Houston Texas Mission)  on his mission, he was such a good person. Its so nice to have to plan of salvation laid out for us for this reason exactly.
 
It sounds like Sunday was great with Tannon, and Blake and Nancys farewell  talks. All 3 of them are going to do super good on their missions. Theyre going to be great as mission president and wife and Tannons gonna do great too. Im excited for them, its gonna be great, its gonna be weird not seeing uncle Blake and aunt Nancy for 4 years.Tell them all congrats for me!
 
  So overall this week was pretty good, and hopefully this week will be just as good if not better! And hopefully we'll get some sunny blue sky days here this week! Hopefully this week will be grrreat for you guys back in the warm sunny weather. Love you guys!

 Love Elder Roney
