hey !!
hows it going ! so it finally came!!!! too crazy Atlanta Georgia!! so cool! thats where dung went! oh man hes going to love it soo much haha. i wish i new where that was on a map haha .wheres that next too? too cool im so excited for him. i talked to colten via email and make thats so crazy this is his last week!!!!! ha i bet his mom and dad are getting excited!! haha i keep having these dreams that i am done with my mission like where i am at now and im like tripping out because i cant remember the last year of my mission. like on that movie click when he fast forwards and he doesnt remember anything that happened. it was scary! im afraid that is going to happen. so i am going to make sure i do everything possible that that does NOT happen and i dont feel like that when i get home!! i think i keep having those dreams because my last companion went home and now pres and sister merkley are going home too :( it was so sad to hear there closing testimonies. im going to miss them soooo much pres merkley. more then i explain in words. but they said they would have a mission reunion so i will get to see them again.
hey there is a couple people from here on missions or going to leave to mesa on a mission soon. an elder oakley and a sister slader. she is at the visiting center tho. so i dont know how that works but any way .
so this week was a great week. we got alot done it was awesome and the spirit and the Lord taught me sooo much. i felt i have been in the pattern of missionary work. just because i have not been learning as much and now that all this change has been happening i am out and learning so much more again im loving every minute of it !
so tuesday we had the assistant come out with us to blitz the area. that was such a great time. we got double the work done and the shared some cool stuff with us to get me so pumped to go out and knock every door in this reinky dink town haha. they are both going to be going home soon so they shared some pretty cool experiences with us and helped give us some ideas to help build the area back up. they are great. then friday we had a combine district meeting in bartelsville for interviews and i had to instruct along with the other district leader who was new too. ha he was just as nervous as i was. ha oh man i was nervous. mainly because i procrastinated my lesson haha as usual and didnt feel ready but as always the Spirit told me what to say and bring up and it ended up being a great meeting. and president and sister merkley said there closing remarks it was awesome pres shared how he first gained a testimony at the age of 18 it was a way cool story im running short on time or i would tell you it. but interview where awesome and he directed me to the section 84 in the doctrine and covenants and made me feel like the best missionary in the world ha. i hope with all might heart that he knows how much i am thankful for ALL he has done for us here and for me individually. he ask me to help pawhuska have its chance to shine. he couldnt close the area unless he knew it had its chance. he asked me to do him that favor. i felt to good and great ful that he trusted me and my companion to give the area that chance. and it was so cool to see that. later that day when we got home we got a new investigator and then that saturday another one, a spanish family. it was really hard to teach them but i know and feel that the Lord will make it possible because of the promise president merkley made me. it was such a cool feeling to have that unshaking faith in the power of the Lords word and the scriptures. I LOVE THIS WORK ! ha. nothing like it in the world. and im so greatful to know that even after im release from a full time missionary there is still more of it to be done and i get to be a part of it!! woooo!! ha
