hi dad! i am doing great, i am in englewood ohio, it's just outside
of dayton, so we have a mix between small town and some "ghetto" inner city. it is not
really ghetto to me at all since i have been living in the real ghetto for the last 3 months
hahaha. it is a lot like batesville, mixed with cincinnati's size. i love it! my
new comp is elder parker, he came out with me as well and we sat on the plane
together, crazy huh? i heard the broncos won, so i am wearing my orange and
blue striped tie today. i was so happy to hear that! i finally won a prize in your scoring grid when i was gone
hahaha, i knew it haha! update me on anything like b-ball or stuff like that, whatever you want, i like to hear about it all hahaha. a summer job at cabela's would be way cool for jake. i would love that--outdoors here is putting on a flannel shirt and
hunting deer in your backyard hahaha. enjoy the mountains for me! that is
awesome that you were able to get so much work done on family history! that is crazy
the ward is growing so much, i don't even think i would remember anyone's names
now hahahaha So what is the church's new Easter campaign dealing with, like pamphlets and stuff or
is it electronic? i will look forward to it. i know it to be true, through
the Book Of Mormon we can come to know jesus christ on a more personal level, if we read
from it with an open mind and if we focus on the over-arching message of hope in Jesus Christ. i also know that God really does know each and
every one of us personally, and that he loves us all more than we can even
comprehend. i know for a fact He knows who each and everyone of us is, and he
knows how to help us the best way possible to return to Him. through Christ it is made possible, with the atonement--the best gift we
have ever been given. well, it was great to hear from you! i love you so much,
thank you so much for all you do for me to keep me out here. i love my mission
and i love sharing the gospel, it brings me a lot of happiness and joy. i will
talk to you later dad! have a great week!
love you!

hi mom! so my new address is in Vandalia, Ohio. thank you so much in advance for the packages! so my area is
Englewood Ohio, we are just northwest of Dayton. Dayton is awesome, it is
like Salt Lake City, but with taller buildings. it is cool, i love it. although i
am not in Dayton, my area is the suburbs of Dayton and and we live in
Vandalia. my whole area is like Batesville mixed with the size of Cincy, it is
awesome. i am seeing a lot more rebel flags, just like in Batesville, i love it
hahaha!
My new comp is Elder Logan Parker, he came
out with me from the MTC. he is a good guy, it is nice to have an obedient comp! we have
a car full time, but we do use the buses occasionally. we drive a ford focus, and
it is nice to have a car, although i am going to get fat in this area with the
way the members feed us hahaha, every night (almost) and they really give us tons
of food. the ward is awesome! so we have a few people we teach, and we
just picked up a miracle 'gator on Saturday. H is her name, she is 19 and
just moved from Indiana. she grew up going to church every week, but
her family are not members so she never got baptized. amazingly enough, she contacted the ward through their Facebook page, and had us sent over to meet with her. she came to church yesterday
and bore her testimony about the church and everything! she is going to be our
next baptism! she just is waiting for her uncle to come out here to do her
baptism. he is always busy with work so we don't know when that will happen.
we are also teaching a girl who is autistic. her parents adopted her and
they now believe that she is fully accountable and able to understand everything, so we are teaching her the lessons. we have a few other "eternigators" we are teaching who could be baptized any day, so yeah, we have a pretty decent teaching pool. our goal is three baptisms
for this transfer, and we will make it happen!
that is good you are enjoying your
job, hopefully jake can get a summer job, then he can help me get one when
i get home haha!. It is so
awesome that J Hale left on his mission, he will
be blessed so much for it.
thanks for putting my name on the Superbowl scoring sheet, i totally forgot
about that haha. thanks for the treat! that sounds like you had an awesome Sunday. mine was good too. in my district, we have just us and another set of
elders. my DL came back from medical leave just a week ago, and man, he is
hilarious! he is so funny, he is a riot hahaha. we have meal appointments
together with the members so they are always a lot of fun. so did you get the
pics from sister connelly? i saw them at transfers and they are doing great,
frank seems to be more solid than ever! i love them so much, they are
literally my grandparents away from home! that is a cool promise from
the family history work, i am glad you are getting so much done,
that is awesome!
i am glad you didn't get driven insane not knowing where I was for a week hahahahaha. so what is
new?
by the way, i can now hold the flag postion for twice as long at
least, in my coat! and my church clothes! so yeah the pullups are working, and i am
getting stockier. i don't know how much weight i have gained, but i know i have
gained muscle 'cause my shoulders are fuller.
okay, i have to go now mom, it was great to hear from you! sorry the
email didn't work that great this week, again. i love you all so much! have a
great week, i love you guys, talk to you later!
