i saw that you put some money in. Thanks! none of the coats fit me and i also need to go buy some pants unless you want to send me mine. wichever works best. my good pday pants are now work pants. ive been doing service out the yin yang. but everything is going great! the you should look at the area on google maps its cool. salem is super scetchy!! but no one is agressive so we have been fine. the ward here is all old people but they feed us like no other. please have dad send me his soft bike seat. i know he dosent use it and it would save my butt! haha Literaly! umm. i am giving a talk on sunday...make sure grama pat gets the thing i sent you... the next sd card will have a video of my apt. o ya this next part is for dad. In our mission they have somthing really cool set up for missionaries with fathers thatdid not serve. its 2 years away but they will let dad come up and be my companion for the last week of my mission! and then the whole family can be at the last trensfer meeting to take us home. i hope that that it might be something that he would want to do!!well, we got one baptism. i got to stand in for his confirmation. lots of door knocking, lots of study. no time to write letters. im sorry, i know i told you letters were better. but email is most convinient. i can alwasy get to it in an emergancey. we only have an hour on monday and i can email anyone in the family. so kylee can have a seperate email if she wants. gramma pa.. the whole gang. tell bo to stop being tool and write me!! at least say whats up. tell molly to tell josh to do the same. even though i dident write him much either. sorry bro. haha
anyways... we cant chat or email back to the ones you send until the next week. its a rule. and when you are fully relying on the lord you cant afford to be disobidiant. if dad wants to come up and be my junior companion please let me know next week. he is going to be realesed soon, but anything that he approves the next president is soposed to honer. idk if the next president will want to do it so its important to get it approved asap.
And then he sent another one.....
sorry clicked send at the wrong time.haha the area is cool but the ward has 400 members 200 are less actice and 50 are unexplicibly not attending. lots of work with the ward mission leader and ward council. also. when you do dinner group you should give some of the leftovers that you never eat to the missionaries. you dont have to like have them over for dinner just tell them they can pick it up. it make a huge difference to them. just a thought.
um. everthing is going real good. i think that dad would realy like to do that thing. i heard from everyone who has seen it done that they say it was the coolest expiriance of there mission. plus, i think it would be sweet! me and my old man knocking doors, visiting some members. spreading gospel light. going through the portlan temple! sick stuff. well. i guess i will se yall next week. oh, and you can sent my blanky! its been like 70 as the high. and its going to get flippin' cold!! my companion elder hawkins is really cool. hes a great trainer and said that he is amazed that i skiped the greeny phase! i am his last companion. he goes home in 2 months and he thinks that i will be either training someone when he leaves or they will whitewash the area and i will be the zone leader. idk we will see. so items to sent:
Blanky
my Geans: we dont have to be conservitive on P-Day. people are crazy!
Family pictures (small in frames.)
copies of the ones ti took. so i can make notes on whos in them and send them. and make -our scrapbooks.
