hey Dad, so i had a good week. my new comp's name is Elder Erickson, and he is a boss! he is a great missionary and it is really nice to
have a hard working comp. the sisters' area was shut down, so now our district
is combined with the Liberty elders and sisters and my comp was made DL, because he has
been out one transfer longer than me. so now we have the sisters' old car and we cover the whole ward, it is pretty huge. the area is shaped like a u. we
used to cover half, but now we know the full, so i pretty much just got doubled
in twice. i have to know the old boundaries and the new ones, so that
has been fun. we also got a mini-missionary on Saturday morning, he will be
with us til Saturday morning. it has been fun, he is a good kid and just
graduated. he is going to start his own mission papers soon. we are still trying to work
with Mrs. J. she is being a little hard to work with though, i think she does
not like me at all--i
think i offended her when i asked her to be baptized a few weeks ago. so yeah
haha. i think she is trying to spite me or something--i don't know, all i can do
is try my best to love her! her son B is awesome though haha.
we pretty much
spent the week using the car half the time to go meet the sisters' investigators, and then we biked the other half to see ours. we don't have a lot of miles to use on the car, so we
still have to bike a lot. i am glad you liked the father's day card, i hope you had a nice
father's day. that must have been fun to visit grandpa H. it is way cool you got out the row boat and
went fishing! that is fun. hahaha but it's too bad you didn't catch any fish! i am glad that work went pretty well this week.
what you said about true greatness is so true--we all want that perfection
and greatness at something. we won't ever achieve perfection in this life, but
we can achieve it in the next life eventually, with the help of the Savior. because of Him we have that opportunity to achieve that greatness we so desire.
I know that because of the atonement and the Savior, we can accomplish
everything. we have to do our best and then He will give us the power to
accomplish the tasks at hand. thanks so much for all the support you give to me Dad! i love you Dad! have a great week and keep up the good work. talk to you
later!

hey Mom, so this was a good week. i wrote Dad about the investigators. i will tell you about transfers: so my comp's name is Elder Erickson, he is from West Jordan and is an awesome guy. he is 23 and an electrician. he has been out a year, so one transfer longer than me. that makes him DL. we took over the sisters' area because they got moved out. we got their car too,
which is nice, although we can't really use it too much with the mileage limit. we still have to bike a
ton. so we pretty much got doubled in again, that is twice in a row. hahaha the
other half of the ward (the area the sisters had) is like another world! there are tons of Micronesians. they are great people and it is so fun to talk to
them haha. i wrote pretty much all the other new stuff that has happened in Dad's
email.
we were able to see a bunch of grace this week. we found a few
new investigators, but even Elder E says this is a tough area hahaha. we actually both
served in Englewood, so we like to talk about that. he served there a few
months before i did, just on the other side of the ward. i like having a bigger district now. one of my old STLs is in Liberty, so that is fun. one of the Liberty elders is one of my old ZLs so that is super fun too. we get along great. last p-day he roped me with his lariat. hahaha
those are funny pics of Brigham's hair haha. he is a cutie! that must have been an awesome youth
conference, it sounds like it went well. so i am guessing you enjoyed the Manti pageant, that must have
been fun. did you go to the Palisades camp ground? that is fun one. that is crazy that the B** brothers have already spoken together, seems like yesterday that Jake and i spoke! hahaha
Mom, remember to go and record President Porter's talk for me please! that is
such a cool story that Jeremy told in his mission talk. in this mission we have been promised we could all baptize in June. we are
waiting for our miracle because right now it doesn't look like it will happen, but
we are trying our very hardest and trying to exercise our faith. so keep
praying for us! we will use that story, thanks so much for that Mom! that is
awesome! well, that is mostly it for the week. i am hoping to send a package
home this week, so if it comes don't scatter around all the stuff [Mom's note: worrying about his stuff being "scattered" is so Jared haha!] it should
have some old planners in it, as well as the fitness watch.
i don't need anything sent with my strips, thanks Mom! i will watch for the
package.
oh, Elder Hueman is in my district, so that is fun. i heard from one of the sisters who got doubled in to Englewood after i
left that they are baptizing a few people i taught, so that was way nice to
hear!
well, i have to go now Mom. thanks for emailing me. i
love getting to email every week. thanks so much for all you do Mom! have a great
week! i love you! talk to you later!
