Catch up

Well hello again! Man this week flew by, crazy. Time flies when you having fun:) So ya transfers are tomorrow and my comp is leaving and I am staying so my address is still the same. So I get a new companion tomorrow morning so hopefully he is cool lol. That sounds like a really cool fireside with the converts. That’s awesome, three seniors, wow. I wanna serve in our ward lol Well lots of changes this transfer every companionship in our zone is affected so that is crazy, it’s cool though. I like getting the chance to work around and with new missionaries and get to know them and learn from them as well. So I’m excited for this transfer.

Dang that’s awesome mom about your training. We have been trying to go running as much as we can this last transfer. We had a good little loop that we did, it was about 2 miles I think, but ya it was fun just trying to stay in shape. lol Actually I haven’t gained any weight which is weird cuz most the elders have gained like 20 pounds or so… and I’m already small to begin with. lol so ya its kinda funny.

Well everything is good here in Denver, but I better get going, we still have to get some shopping done and see if I can’t squeeze in a nap. lol Have a good week love you guys.

Hey there. Thanks dad for all the advice, we are working with them. So we ended tracting 41 hours last week pretty crazy. That’s a lot of doors. lol I think it’s like the record. But anyways ya so transfers are the 13th.

Well I got to go to the temple today so that was really awesome. We are so blessed to be able to go every month. The Denver north mission only gets to go once on their mission, on their one year mark and that’s all. Crazy. It’s great to be able to get that extra spiritual boost and to be able to learn more about the gospel like you were saying dad. But ya things are going good here, I think my companion Elder McMullin will get transferred and I will stay, lol That’s my prediction, but I’ll let you know next Wednesday what happens. Well I better get going love you all have a good week!

Hello family! What is new? Man it was 108 in Medford? That’s craziness I hope it doesn’t get that bad here! It seems like we have a rain storm here like every other day or so its crazy, but it does cool it down so that’s nice. Ya I got an invitation to Suzanne’s wedding that’s way cool sounds like that will be fun.

Man and I didn’t know that Danny got his mission call! That’s so cool thanks for letting me know. And no I haven’t talked to Seth in a while do you know an address for him? That would be cool. I did get to talk to Elder Bragg about two weeks ago he called me up it was good to talk to him cuz we haven’t really served near each other at all so it was good. When I talked to him he had already gone to ragged mountain because he was out west so they went the week before metro, so he was telling me about it. But ya it was really awesome. It was so beautiful I’ll have to send you some pics. It reminded me of Oregon being up in the mountains. It was a really spiritual boost. And it was fun to be with all of those missionaries and see old comps and stuff like that. But over all it was awesome. We hiked up like 4 miles away from camp and there was a natural spring that we all filled up our water bottles with, that was cool, and then we got to take the sacrament right by the spring. Then we had about a hour and a half to hike off by ourselves (within site of another missionary) and just sit there in the forest and pray and read our scriptures and just ponder. It was really awesome. I think that was my favorite part. And of course we got fed really well lol so that was cool too :) But over all it was really fun, I had a blast.

We asked our bishop if we could speak in sacrament to try to get the ward fired up about missionary work, so we spoke last Sunday. All four elders spoke, first was on the atonement, then the restoration, then why we do missionary work, and then me on how we can do missionary work. It went well. Our top investigator just moved out so now we aren’t really teaching anyone and we are working our really hard trying to find new people. We are tracting 45 hours this week but we need the wards help.

Well I’m out of time, but things are going good here. Hope you have a fun trip and good week love you all!
