It is a wonderful Oregon day today. We have been very bust this week in initiating the Collect the elect program. We are very excited to get it under way and are ready to work! we have had alot of canceled appointments this week. But we were able to teach James McCray. he grew up very close to the church and is very invested in discovering the truth. We know that as he searches Prayerfully and Diligently he will receive his witness.
This weekend we had a ward Beef and Corn feed at which we had about 10 less active families all with friends that we were able to meet with and are working toward getting them to take the discussions. This week we have taught Ashley Bales, Who has committed to quit smoking and drinking, as well as Aj who's parole officer (funny!) will be meeting with the Bishop soon to discuss arrangements for coming to church.
I Am in awe that Elder Hawkins is going home soon. he has taught me so much. His goal for these last few weeks is to finnish strong! We are busting tail harder and harder every day. he told me that i will have companions who will not want to work and who will make disobedience seem acceptable. I have complete confidence that he is preparing me to be diligent and obedient in whatever setting might approach me.
This week i have continued to strive to be more humble and submissive, to find ways to be more obedient, as well as have a more effective study and prayer. I have come a long way and have every intention of continuing to keep moving forward until i have become everything the lord has is store for me to be. In my studies of D&C 111 i have found that even though my past is to pt it lightly, "less than commendable" haha, the lord will put to my benefit as i have consecrated my efforts to the building up of his kingdom.
This week i was able to get Elder Hawkins to give me his scripture mastery cards. i have been memorizing about 2 a day. it is my goal to have them all down by the end of the year.
This was my letter to the president, jus thought it would summerize what was up.
In one e-mail I sent him I mentioned to him that another sister missionary from our ward serving in Idaho, Cambria Stradling, will be home in 10 days.....it really did go by fast...for us...her family has a different thought on that!!!
Ya thats fast! i met her trainer at the MTC She works there.

Dear Elders and Sisters,
As we fasted today to begin "Collect the Elect", I pondered what each of you thought about as you partook of the sacrament. Perhaps, it was about the sacrifice for you and the personal peace that can come from daily repentance. Maybe it was about a renewed awareness of complete obedience so that our petitions to the Lord everyday at 7:00 a.m. will merit the blessings the Lord is willing to bestow if we but ask Him. And, finally, I considered the admonition of the Lord, "If ye do what I say, I am bound. If ye do not what I say, then ye have no promise." Action is inextricably attached to success; in this case it is keeping and honoring covenants and commandments. Do hard things! Honor your call! Be strong!
For your reference and review, please carefully note the following:

Of course there is all kinds of support from the family. I know that we are all being blessed for your service to the people of Portland.

We have a box to mail today that has a few goodies but let me know if there is something you can't go with out and will get it on it's way. I love you and am so proud of the man that you have become.

By a car, He was 2. The funeral was said but one of the most uplifting that I have ever been to and you know I've seen my share. What a relief it is to know that they
Will get to see him again and be a family. Having a knowledge of our fathers plan helps with all aspects of life and death. On a Lighter note the ward campout is this week
And I'm so ready to get out of this heat. Bo and sis Anderson are in charge of it and I think It should be fun. Bo should be at the MTC and Josh has already been out a year, How
Time does fly. Hope all is going well, I miss you but am so proud to call you my son, and I know that your Father in Heaven feels the same. Tell your companion Hi for me and thanks
For putting up with you. Love you Sky have a great week and let me known if the is anything you need. By the way Did you get you card and get it activated so we can put some $ in it. Love Ya Dad.

Hey Guys. Bike is fine now. just some minor fixes. card is active and good to go. it started cooling down allot too. That's too bad about the burell boy but you have the right mind set. I haven't been able to get Hold of josh at all. i think at this point hes either not eating the mail or just ignoring it. IDK though. Things are going really good here. we are doing allot of tracking but are getting ready to start collect the elect witch is designed to get more members involved in the work. i fell off my bike 2 days ago but I'm all good. only my pride was hurt. haha. i rolled right out of it. Still getting fed every night and still gaining weight. thanks for tha satchel box. i am enjoying working out to music. FYI: there is only a few walmarts in all of the mission and they are all way out of the way. Same with sonic. i Luckly am Right next to one. but theres only 2 more in the entire mission. President dyches will be here until my year mark. Can you get me Bo's email and address so that i can talk with him please?
This week has been great. we have been teaching less than usual but we have been making them count. we have started teaching this marshalleese man named Richard Abo.
he trly has a desire to know the truth and he has been keeping all of his commitments. We have also been teaching Trini Areola. He has been taking the lessons for almost a year. He wants to be baptised but is very honest with himself and wont until he knows for asurety that these things are true. We have tried everything to help him feel that but nothing seems to be working. Dawna engleson has a simmilar situation. Only she knows these things are true but cannot quit smoking. She has recived many Blessings and has been praying dilligently. We think that we just need to focus on her testimony of the Atonment of Christ.
We have also been teacing Titus dewit and Aqua Tillman. Titus is a recent convert and Aqua is less- Active. They fight allot, usually leading to the cops being called. But we have seen the gospel change there family. they Seem to be fighting less and less and they are both looking happier every day.
I cant believe that Elder Hawkins is going home in 3 weeks. I am going to miss his example of obedience and diligence. But at the same time i am excited to change things up a little. I know that the lord has so much to teach me through the companions that i will have.
This week i had an experience that changed me. We were at a door talking to a minister for another church. He asked me what my title Elder ment. He told me that i eas not old or wise enough to have the title. Foolishly I answerd, trying not to offend him, "Elder is just a tiltle givent to missionaries who volenteer to serve." Afterwards Elder Hawkins rebuked me for being ashamed of my priesthood. So i went home and Studied out the priesthood. And through studying i came to know of the sacredness and the power and athority of my calling
well love you guys, stay strong and remember to do the simple things. they will give you the stranth you need to carry on. the gospel was designed to bring families closer together.
Love you lots!

Doing all the typing. It's Monday morning and overcast here with a chance of rain but you know that that means there's a better chance that it won't than will.
Went to Bo's farewell yesterday and could not belive that He's leaving already. Time is just flying by here It seems like you just left. How are you doing. Any disappointments.
Stay strong and close to the lord and all will work out. I know that's what I am doing on this end. Mom got the lease for the shop so I think the lord is watching out for us and
Of course there is all kinds of support from the family. I know that we are all being blessed for your service to the people of Portland. We have had family home evening and family prayer and we have not missed a Sunday of going to church, so there might be hope for us yet. Is there anything that you need? We have a box to mail today that has a few goodies but let me know if there is something you can't go with out and will get it on it's way. I love you and am so proud of the man that you have become. Remember that its only threw the
Hard times that we learn to be greatfull for the easy ones, so learn to be greatfull for what the lord has placed in front of you at this time and all will be well.
Love you, Have a great week DAD

back of each one...and of course he bawls through it.....

In his main e-mail he writes:
Me and my Iss'enatha(russian for companion) (i think i spelt it right) have been getting along great. living with a companion has propared me to become a good husband and father. we have alot of gospel discores sessions. lots of deep stuff. like this: When egypians are buried, the ones who were considerd worthy of reciving heaven and had been through special cerimonies were burried dressed in white robes with whte sashes and a golden apron. WEIRD Right. well we looked in the scriptures and there is evidence in the old tes. about the gospel existing all civilizations to some degree.MIND BOGGLEINGGG!!!
Anyways, its really hard to get a pix of myself. but as thou wilt, the same shall be done. haha. umm..... Shantel got smacked hardcore with "anti" crap. so dissapointing. i will try more in november. gift cards:SONIC, BURGER KING<> hey you should tell kylee that i am sending her a letter. and hat i think she should serve a mission!! she would love it!! especially tell her that rms have a 40% higher acceptance chance at BYU's.. Just Sayn! well, love you guys. hope to here from you soon.
In a seperate e-mail I asked him when he thought he would be ready for his jacket....
ya Fred Myer is the place out here. (The same as Fry's here) but i get plenty of money for groceries. i will need the jacket witin the month. umm. if they send it to the office i get charged for it to be sent to me. unless it comes by usps. (Regular snail mail ya'll) that goes for all packages. we dont go to tjmaccs really. just for ties. but ya that would be cool. (I asked him if he wanted TJMaxx cards since they seem to buying lost of ties)
How often do you eat at member's homes? evry night
Have you told them how cool your Aunt Onnie is? evry day
Have you been to the temple in Oregon yet? yes but not inside yet
I saw your apartment video--do you have to sleep on the floor??? no i have a matress and box spring
What do you do on P-day? so far: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Ultimate frisbe, sleep,email, vollyball- all sports done with my district
Are you being sure to brush your teeth morning and night? 3 times a day
