Bauer's been out 8 months now!

welp this week was pretty good. Elder Prince is way cool I like him a lot we are like best friends, I'm so glad I got a good comp i was nervous when I heard he was coming out for the 2nd time but he is ready to work. He is from Hurricane Utah, pretty much right by the border of Arizona so that's cool, I don't consider him a U-tard haha anyway yeah that's weird that people say I look bigger cuz I haven't gained any weight. Being a district leader is overrated all I do is talk on the phone and give a couple of trainings to my district.That's all it really is, is that I'm in charge of my district which is like 10 missionaries. I cant believe Ross and Trevor are gonna be home soon, that is so crazy to think about. If time keeps going this fast I'll be home in no time. So how is the missionary work going in R.V.? Its weird cuz when I was home I never even thought about it but now that I'm out here I'm just curious as to how the work is going. well everything is going good here I really liked your quote! A scripture we use a lot out here is Amos 3:7. I think if we truly understood the role of a prophet and what he is we would do everything we could to obey everything that he says. I often ask ppl we teach why wouldn't God call a prophet in these days? Look at the world today. This is a time when the world needs a prophet the most! I'm so grateful for a prophet in these days! I am also grateful that we have proof. The Book Of Mormon is here that we may know that God is the same yesterday today and forever and has called a prophet in these last days just as days of old. Welp I love ya'll and I'll talk with ya next week! nice!!!! that is way cool about Evan haha I'm so happy that He, Tell & Ethan are going out! We did a lot of tracting and contacting and found some pretty good ppl to teach. so the other day i was looking at a calender and Ive been out 8 months..... talk about the fastest 8 months of my life! its scary how fast the time goes out here. its going way to fast. sorry i haven't got any pictures i still have to get a charger for my camera. it actually has kinda cooled down here. its been like 97 with 97% humidity so its not as bad as it has been. I've been pretty sick the last couple of days with a cold... don't ask me how you get a cold in 97 degree weather. But Sister Averett (aka Goey) is doctoring me up. All her grand kids call her Goey so she told us to start calling her that. so when i tell ppl I played football out here they just look at me and laugh cuz I'm so small haha.... so we just cover one ward and all the young women are in love with Elder Prince hahaha its way funny. everything is going really good here. I'm just havivg trouble getting this area up and running. I feel like a crappy missionary but I'm tryin my best. I know that we will be blessed for our work here pretty soon. We are going to set some baptism dates with a couple of our investigators this week if the spirit directs to do so, I hope all goes as planned. Well I love ya'll and I have a p day to enjoy so I will talk with ya next week
