hey family hows it going!
haha crazy busy email i loved it. that stinks that anthany didnt get his call... that too weird. but no worries it will come and you will have to let me know asap ! im so pumped for him ! and hunter graduating thats so werid! i still rememeber graduating and he still seems like my little brother haha but he a man now ahaha. well congrats hunt! and i got your invintation letter. it was cool. i liked it did shalyes do it? and so crazy about colten going home in this next month!!! to weird. and cyni and steve going to pick him up that will be fun. tell them to keep there heads up for dudes with granades haha i still cant believe that about drake and his stories mexico is pretty scary. we just have okies here... although most of them do have guns with them all the time haha and when we were tracting this week we had a dude bring his out to the door haha.
well all is well here so transfers went well i got my new companion. his name is elder macilroy. haha and guess where he is from!! yep arizona! haha he is from phx too but glendale area. he has big house. he is pretty well off.. lets just say ha. haha.. it was pretty funny when he first walked in to our appartment, he was really pissed because its kinda getto, but really not that bad ha. it was just funny to see his face. and it doesnt help that we get these big fatty black crickets in our house. they are big. and SPIDERS too haha.... eh i hate spiders. but he has been out for i think a couple transfers so like 4 or 5 months. he is a good missionary. he is a little over whelmed with all the stuff that has been going on here and how dead the area is, but he still works, which im all for! ha. elder hamlin came back on satuday with his mother and step father they were so nice! ha they just went through the temple for the first time and were sealed. it was so cool to hear there change of life and to see elder hamlin with his mom was so funny. he is a good guy just got too trunky and will have to learn alot about that sometimes we just have to follow the rules even if it seems stupid.
its been really hard on our one investigator too. she really liked elder hamlin and she has been having a hard time getting use to us as her missionaries now. but i think it will work out and now her husband, who is a memeber can help her to get to baptism now. well there is alot of work ahead of us and im ready to do it and try my best to better the work here.
i had my first meeting as a district leader and that was pretty cool i got to hang out with president which is always the best.
oh and before i forget i spent some money on grosheries too sorry we were running low and we got to go to a walmart and they had some food i cant get here in pawhuska. oh and yes my card worked ha.
haha so cool story that i have from some reading we did. in mosiah chapter 26. haha its about teenagers haha. its in verse 1- 4. it made me feel really bad for being a stinker haha sorry mom and dad. i am converted tho :) haha well i out of time sorry but its good stuff. you should read it maybe for family night.
well i got to go thanks for the great email !! and letters this week love ya. keep up the great work ! i know the summer is starting up and i think that means stomp for the book of morman reading is too. it would be perfect to get anthany and hunter to reading with you and dad and to have like testimony meeting with, but just a suggestion. i know it helps us as missionaries to read each day sooo much. so i know it will bless your lifes. love ya so much hope ya all have a great week !!! cant wait to talk to ya next week !!
