Dear Mom,
Mom I didn’t get any memory card in a package from you. What was in the package? If it was in the 4th of July package, it wasn’t in there or when did you mail it? There are only 5 people working a Jay's post office, so everything takes forever to get to me.
Yes mom, I do. She wants me to confirm her a member. She wanted Elder Jones to be the one who baptized her.
Lisa Bean is two grades younger than me. I think she is not my age though. I am happy for them. I knew her. We weren't friends, but I knew her. So mom, did you do the awkward thing and went up to her and said "hi, I think you subbed for my son's pre-school class back in 94." So, what did you do?
Little kids are cute (when I don’t have to deal with them). Marquita, our investigator, has an 18 month old named Gabriel and he gets excited to see us. We will be walking up to the door and he says, "mama, the guys. mama ,the guys the guys." That’s what he calls us 'the guys.' He was sick last night, so we gave him a blessing. Not as easy as you wanted it to be.
Yes, Kalen told me you are going on Utah trip. I love the fact that all the time I was home (all 20 years), the family hated traveling and as soon as I leave everyone is going everywhere. I am not bitter. Mom, you have cousins? When did this happen? Wait, our family didn't have reunions growing up? We only had 2-3 Evans Family Reunions and 1 Forsberg Family Reunion.
I had the best zone conference yet. President Jensen runs Zone Conference differently then President Summerhays did, but I guess the career makes the President. President Summerhays was a business manager so we had to have our suit jackets on and in our seat 10 minutes early. We did the same thing with President Jensen but then when he walked in he said, "oh elders, you can take your suit jackets off if you wish." Which everyone did because it was 94 degrees outside. We learned about the same thing we always learn about. How obedience brings the spirit. We need the spirit to do anything as a missionary. Mine is run very different than most missions. I talk to a lot more people then I usually do.
Mostly I feel about Jay is that Jay could make the energizer bunny stop working, but I am trying to keep working hard. We just got a referral from Atmore. I hope it pans out. So tracting, we ran into this lady Miss Barbara (not her last name) and she was friends with Brother Ivy, so she invited us in and then we talked for awhile.
Something sweet happened this week. We got letters from the Jr. Primary. It brightened our day. We got them because they had a lesson on missionary work. Keep in mind that it is a branch so the Jr. Primary is 2 kids. It was still sweet.
