The Church is True

Hey there fam! Dang tell Sydney happy late b-day! So she is 14 now, that’s so crazy! So ya, the street is 25 1/2 sorry, did I put a fifth? lol my bad. Geez that’s crazy mom, about your sleeping. lol If I was dad I would be scared at night to sleep with you. lol

But ya, things are going good out here, I’m starting to get the hang of the area now and all that, so it’s cool. So no I’m just the district leader and Elder Qaravanua is the jr companion, but we are still on bikes! lame huh? lol and our area is huge. They had a car here in this ward last transfer but now I’m here, they took it away. lol But we had our zone conference and interviews last Friday and Pres said that we will have a car here next transfer, so that’s cool. The teaching pool here is good. We have four or so investigators that are progressing, and let’s see, two that are "soft set" for baptism, meaning they said once they receive an answer about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith they would be baptized, so that is cool.

So it’s all going good, I like the area. Our district only has three sets of companions including me, so only two sets for me to follow up with each night. lol One is sisters and that follow takes a little longer. But on man, I’ve got one minute before this comp logs me out, so I better wrap it up. I love you all and I’m doing good. The work here is great, I love teaching the gospel and feeling the spirit daily! The church is true!

Grand Junction

Hey there guys, how is everything going? So I totally got transferred! To Grand Junction! Crazy huh? It’s like a 4 hour drive from here to Denver, so ya I’m way out here in the mountains. Grand Junction is the biggest town out west. It’s like 120,000 I think, so it’s not too small, but it’s way different then Denver. It’s a lot colder and snows alot more! And I am now serving as a District Leader! Pretty crazy! So that is exciting and new so that is going good.

My new companion’s name is, ok ready for this? lol It’s Elder Qaravanua lol I just learned how to say it the other day. But ya he is from Fiji, pretty cool huh? He is way funny, I like him alot. He plays professional rugby for Fiji cool huh? So he loves that and he is always talking about the Tongans and Fijians and Samoans and Australia and New Zealand and all that, it’s cool. He travels to play other countries and stuff. So where were you dad in New Zealand? So he doesn’t speak English to well, well its good English, it’s just hard to understand what he is saying because of his accent, but its cool. I’m getting better at understanding him now. lol

It’s pretty cool I live in an apartment, we share it with the zone leaders so that is cool. It’s a pretty nice apartment but it’s way dirty and gross like ya way bad. lol But I look out my window of my room and I can see Utah! Crazy huh? It’s 25 1/2 miles away, that’s the road I live on, they do the roads by how far from the boarder you are. But ya its cool, so I’m here in the Grand Junction 5th Ward. They seem really awesome, the whole ward seems way on top with the missionary work, so it should be good.

Well I better get going, times up. But everything is good here, oh and ya I bought some gifts, I just haven’t had the chance to send them yet. Sorry I will do it soon though and send you my pics at the same time. So I hope all is well, I miss you all and love you!

Getting Transferred

Hey there so ya, I’m getting transferred! Pretty crazy, not to sure how I feel about that. It’s kinda exciting but at the same time I don’t want to leave like the Margaritas and I have gotten close with some families here in the ward, but it will be fun.

So I got the call last night and it was President that called, and he told me that I’m going to be serving as a District Leader in my new area! So that is kinda crazy, it’s going to be a lot more work and more time and responsibility, so we will see how that goes. lol I don’t know how to lead a district lol but I’m sure it will be a good experience and all that.

So today I forgot my wallet and my library card was in there soo, I had to wait till another Elder was done so I could get on, now they are like all waiting on me, lame! So ya sorry, this is kinda short, but all is well I’ll let you know my new address and about my new comp and all that soon. I still have to pack everything tonight and be at transfers at 6:45 and it’s a half hour drive so basically I’m not going to get any sleep. lol

But ya French dip is a good idea that sounds good!! Well I gotta get going love you all!

Good Here in Denver

So ya, unfortunately I fell a little short too. I’m still in the last bit of Alma. But ya I’m still reading and will hopefully be done here shortly. Ya I’m not the best at writing in my journal, I was actually kinda making that a new years resolution to do it each night, so I will let you know how that goes for me.

But things are going good here in Denver, and our investigators are still doing well and progressing. The Margaritas are awesome. I really enjoy being in their home and teaching them. Last night we went over there for dinner and had Pasole, its a pork stew thing and Agua do Jamica, its these little dried up flowers that you let soak in water over night then drain the flowers, add more water and add sugar. It was pretty good, and I can totally keep up with all the spiciness that they are throwing at us. Lol Elder Luce on the other hand has a harder time when it come to spicy food. lol It’s funny, but they are doing good and coming pretty close to baptism. The only bummer thing is transfers are next week (so hold off on any mail until I let you know what happens) and I have been here 3 transfers now so I could get transferred, so I would miss out of the Margaritas baptism. But It’s all good, I know the Lord has a plan and it will all work out either way.

The weather is here weird, one week it’s in the single digits and the next it’s like 55, its way weird. But its cool, and gas here I have seen it as low as 1.35! How crazy is that?

Well, I got to go through the temple today and that was a blessing as usual. And I got to talk with Elder Bragg so that’s cool. Well I’m outa time so I will talk to you later love ya!

Half Day P-Day

Hey there fam! Thanks for all the emails and to Lucy, thanks. Sorry I’m pretty short on time today cuz it’s a half p-day today from 10 to 1. Then work the rest of the day. But tomorrow (New Years Day) is a full p-day because basically everyone will be hung over and tired tomorrow, so ya. We helped a guy move this morning and it ended up cutting into our p-day time and we have to help this single older man at 1 with raking his leaves, so ya, pretty short on time.

It was really cool to talk to you all last week! It sounds like you’re all doing good.We will be going to the temple next Wednesday morning, so that’s cool.

Yes Britt did get me a scarf so I think I’m good with just one, so that is cool too. lol But ya and she sent me a cool tie with a lama on it, lol and some really nice church shoes and some cool moccasins too. So that was cool.

Well the computer is shutting down in 2 minutes so I better rap this up. Well I love you all. I’m doing great and still having fun. Happy New Year!
