Week 25- July 31

That is so crazy about all the stuff that is going on back home! Thats cool that you guys liked him I bet it was a lot of fun having him there! Thats so crazy about all the stuff happening up in canada, that is really sad! Have you heard that Jordyn Cavanee is getting baptized?! Thats what I heard and I think that is so awesome!

 

So everything is going pretty well down here nothing real exciting happening, except we should be having a baptism on August 12 which will be really sweet! Next Tuesday is transfers, and I am probably going to be getting transfered. I am really nervous to see what is going to happen. But at the same time I am kind of excited! So that address that you usually send my stuff to probably wouldnt be good to send it to so that package if you want to send it to that address you should send it soon but if its not ready just send it to the mission office address because that would be the best! Thank you so much mom!!

 

Last week was a pretty good week! Yesterday we had a zone conference. It was really good we had some great trainings! Its always cool to get together as a big group of missionaries! Saturday was a long day of service! We did all sorts of the things! we did demolition and construcion clean up, weeding and we pulled out trees! it was pretty sweet! it was fun, because I have a ton of experiance with all of that stuff!  That was really all the service we did!  Wednesday I went on exchanges with elder norton it was pretty fun its always cool to learn new things from different people.

 

Last night was a pretty cool night. We were having a lesson with the girl that is going to be baptized, and we were setting up a calendar for all the things we still had to teach and we had her dad there who is not a member because we had to ask for permission basically, and while we were sitting there he basically bore his testimony to us. and after we had left we both had the thought that he is going to be baptized soon also, so we just need to pick him up as an investigator and teach him and he will be solid. It was a really cool night.

Week 24- July 24

  HAPPY PIONEER DAY!! 

 

     This week has been a really busy week. We have done a lot of different things and it has been quite the adventure!

Thats so funny you are friends with sister eisenhut! That is a great family. Sister Eisenhuts son comes to a lot of lessons with us. Its really cool. He is a great kid!  Thats so crazy that mason is leaving, where is he going? Thats awesome that the boys are enjoying my replacement. haha Its really cool that they get to do all of those cool things, That is quite the experiance. I totally forgot you were going to St.George! How was his mission president? Did you guys do anything else while you were down there? Thats cool that you are still running! You probably can run more than me now. Thats cool that everyone was there, that hasnt happened in a long time.

 

     Yesterday was a busy day, we went out and did service on the tree farm, that is always tons of fun! But I definitely do not want to own 9000 trees, thats doesnt sound fun. Last night we fed the Eisenhuts horses that was pretty cool. Saturday we did service at another members house. Thats was really fun! I got to work on motorcycles and chainsaws, it ws a lot of fun taking them apart and fixing them. Friday was sure an adventure day. Friday night we helped Sister Eisenhut and another sister from the ward move a ton of stuff out of a storage unit. It was a lot of heavy lifting and I am still sore from it which is ridiculous. Other than that we have been trying to teach as much as possible.

 

    We have 2 investigators right now and one wants to be baptized but its really hard to work with the parents schedules and the other one has really been hard to teach. We teach the second one about three times a week but when we sit down to teach her she just talks and talke and when we do teach she gets distracted so we are just doing our best and trying to teach her and help her understand. On Sunday we had both of our investigators at church and we also had a less active sister there that we just started teaching so hopefully we can continue to teach her and have her come to church.  Everything has started to get better which is really good, and life is just great!

  

Love You!

Week 23- July 17

This past week has been pretty good, it has been a busy week. Everything is going pretty good, I am still starting to get used to my new companion, but we are getting along for the most part. Last night we went over to the carpenters and they told us all about seeing you guys, that was pretty cool. Sister carpenter showed us her year book with bre in it, it was pretty funny. Sunday night and most of the day yesterday I was on exchanges with the lone leaders, I went to their area, It was really awesome, because I finally got to meet the Dudleys, The people who are related to Jeff, it was way cool to meet them. Saturday we did service for a family that lives way out in the middle of no where, it was a lot of fun, we did a ton of weeding.

    Last wednesday we were visiting some potential investigators and while we were visiting one, there was a guy in his garage across the street so we went and talked to him. When we walked up he was reading the bible, as we were talking with him we talked about our church and what we're doing and we also told him about the Book of Mormon and we ended up leaving one with him and he said he was going to read the whole thing. This guy was a golden contact, we will hopefully be meeting with hm sometime this week to talk with him more and hopefully pick him up as an investigator.
   A couple Sundays ago in sacrament meeting a sister got up to say the closing prayer, and while she was praying she said bless the elders and she said elder blakelys name then forgot my name and she sat there for a second then in the prayer she said oh sorry and tried to say my name but she totally slottered it, it was pretty funny, but she was totally embarrassed.

 Thast pretty awesome that you guys are going down to st george that sounds like its going to be tons of fun. I cant believ he is already done. Thats so crazy that you have an exchange student but thats probably really cool it sound like a lot of fun, you should get him a Book of Mormon in chinese, that would be pretty cool.

  I dont think I need anything in a package right now, I think I am doing just fine. Thanks for everything mom! I love you! I hope you have a great week.

Week 22- July 10th

Hows California?! Thats so awesome you guys are down here. thats way awesome you went to dinner with the Antons, they are an awesome family! Sounds like this past little while has been good! Thats awesome that wyatt and austin are loosing weight, but its sad, because I think I am finding it. thats cool you got to see the smarts! I cant believe its already been a year since we went to canada, it feels like it was just yesterday. Wyatt did tell me about his plans, that sounds pretty cool I guess, its pretty interesting though. Thats so crazy that sister carpenter knows bre it really is a small world!

So why are you guys down here? vacation or for work? And did you fly on the private jet?

 

Well I am still struggling with the new companion change, its been really weird. Its really tough to get along, but I am trying my best! I have been on a lot of exchanges, because my companion is the district leader and he has to go with all the missionaries in the district. I am just trying to find the good and have a good time work hard and just forget about why we dont get along.

 

   This past week we havent been to busy but we have been working hard. Saturday we did some service, we cleaned the church and we weeded at the antons, thats always fun. I love getting down and dirty and working hard like that.
wednesday was really weird it didnt feel like the forth of july at all. Wednesday night we basically crashed a bunch of bbqs which was pretty fun and on our way into the apartment we caught a glimps of some fire works which was really good because it made it feel more like the forth of july. Other than that Im just working hard and having fun! Thanks for that little care package. Have fun in california. I Love You!

Week 21- July 2

Hey Mom!

 

Well This week has sure been an adventure. It has probably been the hardest week so far. Its been a really tough change, and it still is but I'm getting there!  My new companion is Elder Gobel from American Fork Utah. Hes a pretty cool guy, hes pretty obnoxious. Its been really hard trying to figure out how to work with a new companion, but I am slowly learning which is good. I am no longer the designated driver and thats pretty weird.  Nothing to exciting happend this past week, just a lot of member visits and a lot of walking around talking to people and visiting less actives. I am going to be going on a lot of exchanges this transfer, since my companion is now the district leader.  We havent done service for a little while now. which is pretty disappointing.

 

   Sunday was a pretty weird day. It was pretty weird seeing Elder Blakely and his family! It was cool though. It was pretty funny, because you could totally tell that he wasnt a missionary anymore. I saw him a lot on sunday. i saw him at church, then at a members, then dinner, and then at srg ( scripture reading group ) Its something we started with the youth to get them excited about reading the Book of Mormon. Saturday we breakfast with the satke president which was pretty cool! Friday night there was a huge fire work show here in town, but I wasnt able to see it, because we had to be inside, but I did hear them.  Thanks for the package! Its always great to get mail. The members that the mail goes to are out of town for 2 weeks so their mail is on hold so if you want to send me something before then send it to the mission office. They will be at Elder Blakelys homecoming so you definitely have to meet them.  Happy 4th of July! Its going to be weird not seeing to many fire works, and not seeing any parades. Love you mom!! Thanks for everything! have fun in logan! Sorry the letter is so short!

 

Love You!!
