so tired...

Letter from Sept 16, 2013

zzzzzz...

This week has been a long week and full of lots of different fun times and miracles, but I am soooo tired.

I still want to write a good letter though.  This week has been fun but as already established, it is llllooooonnnnnnggggg. 

We have done a TON of service with our investigators and with the BOB group!! We helped the R's get lots of their big projects done and we are really having fun in that regard, they're almost ready for their big get together in a couple of weeks and they are doing good. I have cleaned SOO many sidewalks for the BOB group in this last week it is insane and great! We are getting ready for Pancake day with them so we started to clean up the square and it is looking good. but the highlight of the service this week was not the action but actually what came after, on Saturday we did tons of service starting at noon and ending at 7 but afterward we all got together and M (the head of BOB) bought us dinner and then one of the people that we worked with... we are now TEACHING!! They hadn't planned on helping they just thought that it would be fun, they don't even live in Centerville, they helped us though and during the dinner I talked to them about the Book of Mormon and they got interested and then after wards they asked if we could meet and maybe learn a little bit more about the Mormon faith!!!!

We have taught them once now, yesterday, and it was super fun and a great experience and wonderful. They are in the middle of nowhere out side of Moulton, Iowa and it is so far that we both know that we are going to be driving a lot less now and doing a lot more walking around town, which won't be too bad now that the weather has cooled down.

Also this week we went to Des Moines to a mission tour of one of the Seventy Elder Gay... the worst last name ever. But he is a great guy and has amazing faith in the missionaries and in the people of Iowa Illinois and Missouri (which we actually went into the other day I have now been in all three states that the mission covers)

We are really centering our teaching on grace and helping other people, both of our faith and others, to understand that principle and how it works also fit in there and help us in the learning and growing process.

Well love you all I am so tired I cannot think of any thing else to say,

Elder Keeley
