lots to report on.
hi family. love you guys. just wanna toss that in there. don´t worry.
i will write more. calm down mom...i will write more. i just wanted to say love you all.
let´s get started.
scripture: D&C 101: 32 - 36 such a tight scripture
alright. just to answer the questions.
mom -
1. we got our power back. i still laugh a little about it. i mean there was no warning! just a shout and a cut. hilarious.
2. you can send the CD. i don´t have a CD player, but some missionaries have CD players. we have elder sorenson´s in the house.
so we will see if we all stay here after this transfer. elder hardyman won´t.
but maybe the rest of us will.
3. i haven´t received the USB drive yet. we have interviews with the president today, so maybe i will get it today.
4. yes, new shoes would be spectacular. i mean these shoes are good.
they have held up really well. do you think i should just try and stick with them for one more year??
5. so you guys are just kinda taking the girls´ rooms back to zero??
just taking them back to a basic, empty room??
what are your ideas with the rooms that are now empty??
6. yes, the mission is the best education i could have right now. i mean i will forget all the school stuff, but this is better. i have learned a lot. i loved that video you sent.
7. the investigators are great. our jehovah´s witness investigator went to church. a bunch didn´t because of...excuses. but some of them
- the investigators that are progressing more -
had legitimate reasons so i understood. junior and mariele are amazing. unfortunately, he is doing some kind of class that goes for 6 weeks and it only happens once a year. it happens on sundays. so i will have to wait for him to be able to go to church, but he said he
already received an answer.
spectacular. anesia was sick, so she couldn´t get baptized this last week.
but we have some great investigators.
we have been working so much, i am loving it. the time has been flying. i am way sad because h-man is going to be going home in the beginning of august. in a couple weeks, i will have one more comp.
h-man and i were working so great together. it is tough to have to deal with so many changes and different comps. you get into one mode of teaching that is going great, and then everything changes. kinda annoying. but it is just part of the mish. gotta adapt.
dad/blake -
you guys are in montana!?! at least you were. that is awesome. how was the fishing?? did blake snag that big one on the last day?? that must have been so much fun. i am kinda jealous. i am fishing too...in a manner of speaking. the problem is, we don´t get to just wait for the fish to bite. haha i would like to get away from the heat, too. it is heating up quite a bit here. but maybe it will rain today. but i hope that you guys are enjoying your opportunity to be the big fishers...as soon as i get back, you guys will have to go back to second and third place.
blake, acho muito engraçado que voce e um groomsman por jim. ri muito...ela é feia mesmo?? jim tava caçando por uma princessa mas pegou uma cachorra?? que triste. eu sinto muito por ele. lol. cara, eu tava sentindo mutio ciúmes por voce estar em montana com paizao. e voce?!?! o que voce esta fazendo?? voce vai voltar para escola logo?
cade sua namorada meu mano?? lol tou brincando. mas voce nao ta procurando por enquanto?? voce ta trabalhando em infusionsoft ainda??
como ta indo? cara, eu tava pensando...seria tao legal trabalhar alguns dias com voce e paizao. seria algumas das melhores liçoes em minha missao cara. mas fique firme aí cara...talvez um dia voce vai ensinar uma liçao comigo. tou trabalhando ate o po aqui meu amigo...tou esperando alguns resultados tambem. mas tudo bem. tenho que terminar cara...mas te amo. continue escrevendo viu?? desculpa algum erro aqui...tava indo com presso.
moe and stu -
you guys almost done moving?! that is so crazy that you will be in AZ again. maybe you will still be there when i get home??
morgan...you are definitely a pack rat. it is much better than a real rat. but yeah...your pack rattyness is evident. but i still love you.
i am also a pack rat.
i definitely miss you guys. it will be nice to be able to chill in the good ole AZ with you guys. i mean...it will be a while...but still. it will be tight. how is the baby?? WHAT IS HIS NAME GOING TO BE?! why don´t i know this yet?? is he going to be a big boy?? think he will be bigger than me?? when i told mariele - our investigator - that i was
5.17 kilos when i was born, she just looked at me and goes, "your poor mother..."
yeah...sorry mom. i love you :)
anywho. so everything is good here. we are still running all over the place, teaching a ton,
and working our buns off.
we had a crazy experience the other day. we had left with a couple young men in the ward to teach some young men (investigators). when we finished, we started walking toward the church for our sunday night meetings. we were on one of the main streets on the sidewalk and as we are walking, we hear these noises like a motorcycle backfiring (very common here) and then this dude comes running around the corner towards us.
there was this motorcycle taxi place between us and him.
he ran into the moto taxi, grabbed a helmet, and ran out. we just kept walking and then julio cesar (one of the young men) was like, "hey...hey hold on...wait, stop!" in my ear and we realized that this guy was stealing a motorcycle and that we were right between him and the owners. the guy pulls a revolver out of his pocket and starts screaming and yelling at us and pointing this gun directly in our faces and the other owners. then he jumps on the bike and takes off.
we were a little weirded out. then we turn the corner and keep going to church and there was a big group of people on the sidewalk with a guy on the ground. his shirt was completely red.
he was shot 6 times.
that was spooky. but we had to take off. that was an odd experience.
but we are all safe. god protects us. that is my belief.
has tyson sent his mission papers in yet?? i was just wondering.
i also got kissed by a drunk guy while doing a street contact. pretty great experience. he kissed me on the cheek. i hope i never have to experience that again. now i know why the girls probably prefer the shaven faces to kiss and not the hairy, prickly ones.
this guy was in need of a good shave.
anyway, that was my week. lots happened. sorry if i forgot stuff.
love you all a ton. you keep me going every day!
i hope you are all awesome and having a great summer!
love and tchau till next week!
