"something cool"

After transfers Bryce will be staying in Centreville but getting a new companion, Elder Donaldson.

Here's a little story from Bryce last week:

"So this week we had something cool happen. 3 months ago Elder Gubeli and I had a referral from Temple Square to see this girl named Katie. We tried to call her and go see her, but we could not ever meet her. We tracked her street and her neighbor told us that she was a college student. Knowing she was out of town, we ended our efforts. This was in early October. On Tuesday, while on our way back to our apartment from Clifton, we came to her street and I thought we should try because it was Christmas break. We knock on the door and a girl answers. I asked, "Hey, is it Katie?" Her response will resonate with me forever: "YOU CAME!!!!!!!!!" She then proceeded to excrete excitement all over the doorstep. She did a mini dance and felt like she had no choice but to get a picture with us. I was ready to sign an autograph and start my own tv show when she explained to us that she had been on vacation in Utah with friends over the summer and went around temple square and filled out a sheet of paper to have missionaries come. She mostly just wanted to meet with us and learn more about who we are. We set a return appointment and taught her and her mom a few days later. They both said that they would read the Book of Mormon and consider baptism. She goes back to school, but she knows how to find missionaries thanks to the awesome mormon.org and this experience."
