My week went pretty well. Things are going great out here in Geneva. We had quite a few investigators this week that don't really want us around anymore but thats all good, because we found a few others that we are going to start working with this week, so things are still going on. We are still working with frank, he is amazing. And we are working with this guys named Jeremy, who owns horses and is kinda a country dude, and we are also working with this couple Ray and Jacinda Johnson who are awesome. They are way cool, and they have a shi-tzu that looks exactly like peanut! haha it makes me so happy to see that little dude. They are really great and they are wanting to get baptised, we are setting up a baptismal date next time we see them. They both just have a really bad smoking problem, so we are going to have to work with that, but it'll work and they can quite if they really wanna be baptised you know?
We were out tracting yesterday and we met this puerto rican guy named carlos. He is 20 years old, so pretty much my age. And it was so cool he just had us come right on his porch and talked with us. Haha let me tell you that is rare, every either says we're catholic we don't need you, haha or somethin else happens. So anyways, we were talking to him and he just wants a change in his life. Mom it is so sad to see how some peoples lives are out here. He was telling us how tired he is of doing the same old bad things, drugs, smoking, drinking, parties, bad things with girls. And when he first moved here too he got beat up real bad and got stabbed real bad too. Things are rough and its just so sad to see people who live in that crap. And he told us he wants a family, a wife and kids, and wants to go to church and just have a normal life, and it's awesome to know that through the gospel of Jesus Christ that's possible and we can help him get what he wants.
So in rochester last week we went and just visited the president and the we went and played basketball for a while with all the elders in the Palmyra and rochester area. It was a blast. Haha how about i have lost even more weight and am gettin more muscle, i don't even weigh in the 190's anymore! I love it hard. My companion Elder Westley is cool, haha he is a little different than a person i would normally have hung out with but he is nice. He loves to sleep and takes naps, haha so i do my best to make sure we are busy so he doesn't just go take a nap. It's real cool to because President Christianson is doing all he can to make this mission better, there have been a lot of things going on here with some people that hasn't been good, but he is taking care of it and making sure everyone is being productive and being what missionaries should be. :0
It is a little warm this week but it'll start getting cooler soon. Just send me the coat, the garments and just maybe a sweater or 2, and i'll buy the rest here ok? That'll just make it alot easier and won't cost as much with all that shipping. And there is a mall out in either waterloo or Seneca falls i can go to get what i need. :) I'm sorry shauna isn't working with you anymore that is mega lame! But atleast you got a job right? And tell sam she rocks and she needs to keep up the grades that is amazing. And have here be careful so she doesn't really jack her knee up! Yeah tell jess to not to worry about going to that singles ward if Jarrett is there, he will just create problems for her. What about a university ward? Haha I love hearing about Reese and Maddux, i love those two little guys so much. And i'm sorry you don't get to see joel or kasey much anymore, i will remember those family nights we had for the rest of my life, those were some of my favorite experiences we have had together as a family. :) Can you belive i have been out here for 3 weeks already! thats halfway through my first transfer! i love it hard. So things are going well mom, i can't really think of anything i would really need besides that coat and the garments and those sweaters, because i can get everything else i need here. And before i go mom i have a scripture i found for you that might make you feel better. I remember you telling me that you feel really bad and wish you could have paid tithing that whole time we barely had any money but you just couldn't. Mom you don't have to worry about that just read this scripture Mosiah 4:24 ( and the first sentence of 25 till guitless). Mom you didn't have the money but you had the heart and the desire to do it, so you are good. And you don't have to worry about that, ok? :) Just do what you can now. I love you guys so much and keep me in your prayers! Talk to you nubs later
Lover
