To Mom: Well I haven’t got an email from Michelle so I guess I’ll find out how she did on Mother’s Day when I call. We are trying to get it worked out to where we can skype at the H’s and you will be able to meet the family that I love so much! I’m sure if we skype there I will have at least one of the kids with me throughout the skype haha they are super cute!
I see now why you loved being in primary. We (Elder U and I) taught primary again this week. This time the CTR 6. There were 3 kids and one of them was the H girl named R and we had a good time talking about priesthood blessings and healing the sick. The best was when this super quiet girl told us a story about when she was sick she said "one time. I woke up and I puked all over my bed and I went back to sleep....... in my puke." hahahaha Elder U and I started busting up laughing. I love the things that kids say! Well I’m going to send the big email to bug this week! I love you tons!!
To Family: well bug I’m going to send you the big email this week!! First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MICHELLE!! She didn’t email me so I’m sending it in the family email. Well I’m going to start out with the unexpected news we got Saturday night. Well as you may know it was transfer calls so I was waiting for the zone leaders to call to tell me who out of my district was leaving. Not thinking much about it because I still have one more transfer to train. Weeeelll I got a call from AP Elder M and he asked me if I would train again. As soon as we hung up the zone leaders called and said the only person leaving from my district is Elder F. So our training was interrupted and I’m getting a new greenie tomorrow! Crazy! That was definitely not expected. Pretty much the rest of our week was a bummer except a less active we taught. Bro S. He calls himself a Jack Mormon. But he really wants to start going to church and stop smoking and everything. I know I’ve talked about him before but anyways we finally met with him after a really long time and we had a really good visit and I’ve been working on being more bold and I just told him part way through our lesson that he really needs to come to church and that if he does he will find that quitting smoking will be easier and his life will improve. He was out of town this week at his mom’s so we told him to go to church there because it would be easier because nobody there knows him. He said he would and we are going to meet with him this week and get him a white shirt and get him to church. He even said that sometime he wants to suit up and go around with us for a day! He is 45 years old and is one of the most genuine nice people I have ever ever met. He has all the right desires now we just have to help him reach them. Awesome story number 2. Our investigator S FINALLY came to church!! Now we just need to see what she thought about it. But church attendance was awesome we had at least 14 less actives from our side, 4 recent converts, 1 investigator, and 2 non members! We were fasting to find people to teach and after sacrament the mother of the nonmember kids said we need to start coming over to teach her daughter M who is 9 so she can get baptized!! So me and my new companion will start teaching her! I’m really excited. I can’t believe that another transfer is over. I’m on number 7 of 17! I’ll now possibly be in B until July 31! Making it 3 days away from spending 7 months in B! Oh my goodness! I almost forgot! On Saturday Elder F and I got a ride with the zone leaders out to El Mirage. It’s a dry lake bed that is a reserve for OHV's like dirt bikes and all. We had a big service project out there that they asked for help with. They do this service every year where they just go around and maintain the place. There were 11 missionaries there and we got put in the group of going around and cleaning up around certain Joshua trees that were the biggest and oldest ones there. The only problem was our transportation was a 3-seater jeep for 11 missionaries. Well the guy started out by taking groups around and he would just move from group to group and take them around and it was taking awhile. So in my group it was Elder C, Elder K and me and these two are a couple of my best friends in the zone. Well we were cleaning up a Joshua tree when we saw a sand rail flying down the road and we were all just staring being jealous of the people having fun. Well the sand rail pulled up to where we were and the guy got out and said "I hear they need help with transportation so I’m with you guys!" oh. My. Gosh. It was sooo awesome! I got a couple of pictures on the phone but didn’t have my camera so I’ve got to get them from Elder K but it was super super cool! I also got a little burnt but it’s gone now. And I got stabbed in the top of the head by a Joshua tree and it hurt super bad. Not 2 minutes after I did Elder K did the same thing though haha. It was great! Anyways I love you tons and have an awesome week!!
