Month Mark

send a pic of my bug please

Well I hit my month mark this week.  It's crazy to think.  It seems like the days are long but then when you look back it seems like it was just yesterday I was at IHOP eating my last meal of biscuits and gravy.  I got the package that you sent me.  Thank you so much for sending the sour patch kids they were good for the day and a half that I had them...  Yeah I ate them all oops...  Those are really good if you want to send more there are no complaints here.  So about this week.  Fred is being a little stinker about joining the church.  He says that we have to focus on his less active friend Gale before he will do anything.  On the brighter side of things we ran into this guy named Keith about a week ago.  He was out side working on his drag racer and so we started to talk cars with him.  We set up a return appointment for latter on this week and he accepted but when we went by he wasn't there.  Then yesterday as we were riding to go visit a family the holy ghost said go see why the Milots and Plucinics didn't come to church.  Me and my companion then proceeded to go check on those two families.  Little did we know that Keith was outside working on his car again.  We stopped and talked to him for a little bit and gave him a book of mormon.  He told us that he's often thought about the question which church is the true church.  He's a pretty cool guy we are meeting with him on Tuesday and will set him for baptism.  Another awesome thing that happened yesterday, my companion and I were riding around a less fortunate part of town.  We road past the street ballers and one of the guys called us over.  His name is Brent.  We started to talk to him and found out that he wasn't religious because of all the bad things that happen because of religion.  Some how we got on the topic of his kids and he told us that he had lost a child about two years ago.  He had the kids foot prints tattoo'd on his left bicep.  We were able to bare testimony that if he makes the important covenants then he can be sealed together forever with that child.  He then broke down into tears.  The spirit was so strong it was amazing.  I love this work it's so much about helping other people it's crazy.  About the new house I think that it's really up to you as long as you've prayed about it and asked our Heavenly Father if it's the thing that you should do and you feel like he's ok with it then do it.  It sounds like you and Dad are just having a ball in the house alone.  I hope that the book of Mormon reading is going good and that everything is ok.  If there is anything that I can do for you guys please let me know I would love to help you.  That's my week in a nut shell.  The ward here is really nice they feed us a lot I just can't get fat.  It's funny this area is all about baptist.  I think this is the baptist capital of the world it's so crazy everyone is baptist.  The ward members call one of the baptist church's the great and spacious build because it's so huge.  It's probably about the size of the Lehi Legacy Center and then some.  Well I hope all is well I love you all.  Mwah XOXOXOXO

Sorry you probably think that I'm a pile.  I didn't even bare my testimony.  I am doing the work of God My Savior lives and he loves all of use more than we will understand in this life. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and if we implement it's teachings into our life we will draw nearer to God.  It's hard to put the feelings that I have into words.  I love all of you and invite you to pray with a purpose.  Make prayer a two way conversation between you and the Lord.  I can promise you that when we start talking to him like he is our best friend that's when we will become best friends with him.  He's there waiting we just need to open the door and let him into our life and let him mold us into the master piece he knows that we can become. 

Thank you for your e-mail.  That is awesome I didn't know that.  My companion is not much into history so for our P-day we are going golfing.  Yay! Time for some public humiliation haha no it should be fun I'm way excited.  The mission work is going good here.  It's hard that's for sure sense this is the Baptist capital of the world.  I know that as long as me and my companion just keep working hard and trying our best then the lord will bless us and we will be able to see the fruits of our labors.  Maybe not in this life but in the next life for sure.  That chair is super sweet that's so cool that you made that.  Down here there are so many muscle cars.  One of the ward members owns a 68 Chevelle.  It's so sweet I will try to get a picture of it and send it to you next week.  Have you started reading the Book of Mormon with Mom if not START.  It will bless your life so much and you will be able to do amazing things in this life.  I love you and thank you so much for all that you have done for me thank you for making me the man that I am today.  I love you have a great week.
