Hey guys sorry about the late letter. There was a bank holiday here
so basically, every government agency, program, or off shoot was shut
down. Including the Library. So we got permission to write to you guys
on tuesday! Yeah!!!!
So first off, MOM.... Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear mommy that i miss so much...... Happy birthday to
you!!!!!! Mom if you read that first, early in the morning, than maybe
im the first one to tell you happy birthday. ;)
So yesterday i got to go to bristol for p-day which was a blast. I
got to see some graphiti from a famous artist and wow was it cool. I
also got to play futball again. YES! I didnt realize how much I missed
actually playing a sport with a team. It was really cool to, because
the futball pitch was at the top of a hill in a park so i could see for
miles in every direction. I also got to see the first methodist chapel
in England. It was pretty legit. Because we are awesome we also got to
go into their special library they had and i got to hold some books from
the 1700's! Guys that about 300 years ago. These books were around
before america was. It was really cool expereince that not many people
got to have in their lifetimes. It was also cool to see the similarities
between the methodist church and out. The man who formed the church was
John Wesly and when he made it, he basically said, This is the best we
can do until god chooses to restore his church..... Well hello, here we
are. The church of jesus christ of latter day saints. :) Haha it was a
super cool experience. Ill try to send some pictures if i have time.
So this last week was a rush. Nothing really sticks out except that
Me and my companion went tracting together for the first time on
sunday. Haha ya, for the first time. We are focusing a lot of out
efforts this week on finding since we have load of less actives, and
recent converts to teach but almost no investigators. Our goal is to
have about 9 investigators by the end of this week. Wish us luck and
pray for us.
Mom, the names are Judie and Zoe. Sorry we dont have the last
names. We went around to try and visit them since they didnt come to
church again, and we ended up being able to talk to Zoe. But because of
mission rules it was a short visit. We asked to come back later, they
got our number, and said that they would text us when they had a time
for us to visit. Thats a little disheartening because when you put it in
their hands to contact the missionarys and set up a time. It almost
never happends. They forget or just loose interest and then we loose
contact. We are trying everything we can to stay in contact though and
we are praying every chance we get, that something touches their hearts
again to the point where they will want us to come back. Later today we
are going around to another referall that we got, and see if they will
become investigators. Im praying that they will.
So mothers day (sunday?) I was thinking about calling you in the
evening here. Maybe around seven. That way it will be twelve at home and
it wont interfear with maren and stephanies time, where because there
is less of a time difference, they can call you later also. I will be
able to skype you guys but Im going to need your skype information,
number, ext. Ill be checking this again on saturday so ill be able to
see what the final game plan is. Just dont laugh at me. My companion
shaves with a cut throat razor and when i saw it, i immedietly wanted to
learn how to shave like a gentleman. Booyah. So i got one and ive been
shaving with it. The only problem? They cut, super easily. The first day
i shaved i got a huge cut right by my mouth. Haha and the next day, and
the next day, and the next day. yesterday and today were the first days
that i shaved without cutting my self. BE PROUD!!! Haha its a cool
experience .
So issac.... you studly man you. Way to go!!!!! FIRST PLACE. You
will soon be able to join me in the title of SUPREME STATE
CHAMPIONS!!!!!! just cause we are cool like that. Haha
Caleb. Wow your already changing. I cant imagine the guy you are
gonna be when i get back. How are you doing with my challenge from last
week? I promise that if you do that, happiness will start pouring out of
you ears.
Nate. I miss ya bud. Some people here really remind me of you and
makes me miss my budy that i would go and get pizza with. But the cool
thing is that over here people are usually short so i dont have a height
complex anymore Haha.
Simeon. Love ya bud. There are a lot of kids your age in the ward and whenever i see them, it makes me think of you.
Tania!!!!! Love ya sis. I hope your house is working out. I dont
know the time table. But I hope that if the roomates have moved in, then
they are awesome. They are gonna have to be if they are rooming with my
sister cause shes just a little ball of fiery awesomeness. Oh and hows
the CAD team doing. DO they miss me? Haha.
Mom and Dad! Dad you scared me when you said that you were moving.
My heart skipped a beat. Im sorry about the extra work, i feel bad not
being there and being able to help you guys out. The plus side is that i
do plenty of yard work over here....... plenty. Thats all the service
we do. Haha! Mom i feel ya about the knees. I found out that i have
terrible knees. :p
I love ya guys. Sorry about scaring you, by not writing sooner. Cant wait to talk to you guys on sunday.
