Dear Family!
I am having a blast! The heat is back up to the mid 90's and I
feel like I am back home! :) I just finished hand washing our car while
my companions and the Assistants went hiking; it brought back so many
memories! It so nice to have my good friend, the Sun, back in my life. I
sure missed being tan and I am already getting my "missionary tan!" For
those who don't know what that is, very white lower body, chest, and
half your neck (due to the collar lol), and my forearms face and upper
half my neck way tan. Its quite funny to look at myself in the mirror in
the mornings! :)
Well, we had a baptism on Saturday, and it went off pretty
well. Beau was late, but other than that, the Spirit was strong. We had
an awesome day yesterday also as we tracted in the blazing heat; two new
investigators, a potential, we contacted a referral, and are about to
put two-five more people on date for baptism! The work is just BOOMING
and I love feeling like a missionary. I will be sending pictures here in
the next couple days. I will also try to upload my shirt/pants burning
for my 18th Month Mark that I just hit! It went off a lot better than my
tie did! xD
Wow! It makes me so proud of Chase and Jenna for their
accomplishments! You will have to tell Chase my congrats and I'm here
supporting him. It would be so awesome if he makes it to the Olympics
next year; I wouldn't miss a single broadcast! As for Michael
Greggory, that sounds so cool! I cant wait to see the photos that you
took, and to hear about the good time you all had! Tell him hello also,
and let him know of my plans to stay in town for a semester so we should
do another show together. Hopefully I can make a cast when I get
home! ;)
Well, as you can tell, things are going great! This is the
week that Elder Holland is coming, so its filled with
anticipation! Hopefully the Stake doesn't get rebuked to bad...the home
teaching is at around 5-10% :( Its not going to be pretty, that's for
sure. Like someone said "Home teaching is missionary work to the
members; missionary work is home teaching to the non-members!". It was nice to hear from you, and still feel of your support! I love you lots
and will talk to you later!
