hey dad, so this was a good week. we found a few new investigators and we
saw a lot of grace, it was awesome! as of now we have been 225'ing a lot to find
some new people. half of our teaching pool is hard to meet with because of busy schedules, so we are trying to find some new investigators to add to the pool. the new people we found this week will be meeting with us this week for
their first lessons, so we will see how it goes. the weeks are really starting to fly by!
it really seems like i was just emailing you! the days are blurring together all
the time now hahaha. good thing i keep a journal. we had interviews with president
porter this past week, and it was really good. i talked with president and he
told me how much he has seen me grow and he said he is proud of me, and that i
am becoming a leader. he helped me find my next step to work on, he is the
bomb! that is awesome you are getting so much done at work, good job on the
numbers and having the stock so good! has sarah
been helping with the yard? it has been really nice weather this week, it hit 75
on saturday! it was awesome! it has been in the 40-50 degree range for the most part
though, but i think it will be a nice spring as well (hopefully). it feels so good
outside after having the teens for weeks hahaha. that is way cool about the car race, i was wondering about that. that is a cool pic! it is way cool the jazz
won. cincy has the
flyers hockey team, but I don't know if they are pro. that is cool about
getting to go to jake's ward and logan on Sunday. i bet that was fun to see him and jeff and nicole.
i like that thought about HF. i feel the same way, He is so involved in our
lives we don't even know. just today when we were shopping, we stopped by goodwill to see if they had some shoes, cause my pros shoes are worn out (it's a
pair i have worn every day that Ralph senior gave me for free) and i got a good
pair of loafers that fit perfectly for $4! it was a
huge blessing--now i have some meeting shoes. we really can't even comprehend how
much He is involved with our lives, working to make it possible to have the blessings we
receive. funny thing--so that air museum you told me about is out of our mission by a few miles, so
we have asked president if we could go and he will let us go if we go with a
member. so us and the other elders in our ward are setting something up for a
district fun day for next week. i have
heard awesome stuff about that museum! i like the thought from conference as well. that is something i have been working on, to never ignore an impression, and i have received so many more promptings than before, it has been
awesome. this transfer i have felt way more guided than i have ever been. as of
now, i am just trying to find those elect, and help them be baptized so they can
follow the Savior. sharing this gospel makes me so happy, it is truly the
greatest work and experience. thanks for all you do to keep me out here, it means
so much! i love you dad! have a great day and week, it was great to hear from
you as usual, talk to you later!

hi mom! so this was a good week, it went by so fast! we did find a
few new investigators and stuff that i wrote about in dad's email. as for the other people we work with, they are not progressing as fast as we would like. it is kinda
hard to meet with half of them, and one i have not even met yet! they are
super busy so we are trying to find some more by doing a lot of 225-ing
and working with less actives. we have a really good referral lined up from a less- active lady, for a family. the mom is interested in learning more, so she is
going to meet with us.
the best part of the week was
interviews with president, and the most challenging was being sick for half the
week with a cold that is just getting over. luckily it is not as bad as
elder parker's haha. there is a part member family we saw last night, who has an unbaptized daughter who is a lot like mia, but a lot more sass and drama--she
is funny hahaha.
my pump supplies are doing good, i will definitely let you know
when i need more. that is too bad that you didn't get to go into the temple open house, but hopefully you will get too soon. thanks for the pics, it looks super great!
it is crazy about [some ward missionaries] already
getting home soon, although it does not surprise me, the mission flies by! it is
incredible how fast. the weeks are really seeming like days, it is crazy. it seems like i wake up and go
to bed a few times and then bam! i am emailing again hahaha. i
keep having these really vivid dreams. one was about my future wife i think,
and the other was about when i get home and how fast it went by, it is weird. i am glad you guys got to visit to logan, i bet that was fun!
it
really is truly amazing that joseph smith really did do what he did as a 14 year
old boy. i know that he truly was a prophet and that he did restore god's true
church, and that the Book of Mormon really is the true word of god. by reading it
and studying its words we truly can come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. i
have done this over the course of my mission and my love for Him has
increased dramatically! i was looking back at my journal in the mtc and man, i
didn't really have a testimony it seems like hahaha, it was so simple and now it
has grown so much, it truly is my greatest possession. thanks for all you do to
support me and keep me out here, it means a lot, this would not be possible
without out you and dad! thanks!
Mom: I'm sorry you got sick! Did you have any trouble with your blood sugars? I have seen how much you have grown in 6 months--think how much more you will grow by the end of your mission.
yep, i got sick but my BGs have been good still. it was kinda
high last night, but other than that i have been good. yep, my testimony will
grow a lot more hahaha that is funny that jake & jeff think i am emotional. hahaha what a
funny joke! hahaha just kidding, i know. funny jake and jeff! although i meant that
i cry more with spiritual stuff hahaha.
Mom: So what is your favorite thing you have learned from President Porter?
it is hard to pick my favorite thing, but he is very knowledgeable
about a lot of things. probably how to find our next step to progress towards so we can
become who God wants us to be.
Mom: What does he have you working on next?
we are doing a purification challenge, and we each picked out a few things to get
better at. mine was not having unapproved songs in my head haha, and just a few
things like that. also I want to never ignore a prompting, but the most latest one is that i am going to study the atonement to understand it better.
well i have to go now
mom, it was great to hear from you. I love you and all the fam so much, have a
great week y'all!
