Why hello Fam. how are you all doing. So I just had one of the best experiences ever. So that guy that we went to the temple with last week, His name is Tom Robison. We went to see him get sealed in the Temple. THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME THINGS EVER TO GET TO SEE ON A MISSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even have words. I mean WOW. I MEAN WOW!!!! Heck i want to go home and get Married. LOL J/K Not just yet. That was just really great! Then after the Temple We went to the Ring thing. It Was is this place that was like right in the middle of DC. It was way way nice. We had this really good talk with one of the ladys that worked there. She was asking us some questions about the way we do things. The bishop of one of the wards was telling her that in the Mormon Faith that we are married for time and all Eternity. And she was like Oh so you don't believe in reincarnation? No we believe inResurrection. And then we talked about some other stuff and she gave us some good comliments. We at this Ring thing they had some way good food. They had this White Hot Chocolate. It was way good. They had guys walking around with serving trays with things like lopster stuffed tomatoes and flaminyon. Like really good food. So it was just a good day. We got to go tracting this week a little bit. We met this guy on the door and we told him that God has some More Words. and that we wanted to give it to him and he was like ok Will take your book. So we have appt. with him next week. We didn't get to go see Devin this week. That is the 9 year old. Transfers are next week. and i have no clue what is going on. I don't know if im staying or going. Well thats about it for now i love you all and miss you so much. I would write more but i got to go. Peace out.

Last time we were teaching about pray, and We were saying that if you ask God for something He will answer. Then she said Ya and if you ask him a question on what to do you need to be willing to do what ever he tells you to. E. Johnson and i are like HOLY CRAP. This girl makes me look stupid. We really want to get this girl baptised. So today we went to the temple. Some one that E. Johnson baptised was going for the first time, and he wanted E. Johnson to take him. Then after that we went to this place with really gooooooooood fish. I got the Sword fish with Shrimp. It was really good. For 3 people is was a totle of $105. Everything in that place is really Expensive. There was this jacket that was No Joke $2890. I could get a crappy car for that price. Well enough with all of that. Things are going good. I don't think i told you this. One of the Missionaries out here just had his Dad die. Its a really hard thing for him. He died from a heart attacke. E. Johnson lost a Brother sence he has been out. He died in a avalanche. So E. Johnson talked to the Elder about it. Well thats about it for now i love you a miss you lots.

Righteous Examples

· We as Latter Day Saints are held at a higher stander.

· Give some Examples.

· Some kids in my high school I would have never known were LDS.

· Monkey See Monkey do.

· Talk about kids and how we need to be an Example.

· This is a Story of girl how fallowed the Righteous Example of her Parents.

Tell the following true story:

“I’m 17-years-old and have been a member of the Church since I was eight. Living the gospel has never really been a problem for me until just the other day, when I had an unforgettable experience with a boy named Craig.

“… One day in algebra class, [a certain group of guys] decided to be especially rude to Craig, who sits right next to me. Craig is quiet, and he’s not the smartest guy in the class, so these guys loved to make fun of him. One day they decided to pass the word around that everybody in class was to ignore Craig. I usually helped him with the problems he didn’t understand, so when I heard their plan, I didn’t know what to do.

“… A few minutes before class let out, Craig leaned over and asked me how to do a certain problem. Every person in the room turned to see how I’d handle it. My heart started pounding, and my palms became moist. I wanted to do the kind thing by answering him, but I could just feel the pressure mounting as all my classmates waited for me to snub him.”

· What is it that you think she is going to do?

“I felt my face getting hot and I knew it was red as I turned to Craig and explained how to do the problem. That was it. As soon as class was out, the guys started calling me names and really letting me have it. I couldn’t believe we were in high school. It felt like first grade, and I wanted to cry. But deep down inside I knew I’d done the right thing.

“The next day I dreaded going back to my algebra class. But when I got there, the same boys met me and told me they wanted to try the same trick again and begged me to go along with it. By that time though, I knew that what I’d done the day before was right, and there was no way I was going to play their game.

“When I told them so, I got the surprise of my life. My best friend, who sat nearby, told them she wasn’t going to cooperate with them either. Several other people joined us, and soon just about everyone in the class decided their plan was childish and stupid. Before the end of the class, everyone was talking to Craig, and even the boys who had started the whole thing were discussing some of the problems with him.

“From all this I learned that being a good example is not quite as easy as it seems, but one person can make a big difference. If you have enough courage and enough faith, you can influence a whole group when the pressure’s on” (Stephanie Christensen, “When the Pressure Is On,” New Era, Jan. 1988, pp. 8–9).

· By our example we show others our love for God.

Subject: What do you teach?.....English.....My native tongue.

Thing are good. Right now we are doing all of the Zone Confs. We have done 3 out of 8. 5 more to go. I will be able to say the whole thing by memory. I've heard it enough times. Its a lot of fun. You will see me a lot in the Mission blog. Sis Albright is taking pics. like no tomorrow. In every pic. that we are at a table i have some kind of food in my mouth. I think that i will do that in every pic. at the Table. Its fun. So we have been doing that for almost the whole week. So that means not to much of any other work. So today We went to Mt. Vernon. It was a lot of fun. We went with the Prez. and Sis. Albright, the APs, and Some sisters from the mission. It was great. The reason the sisters came is one of them is really home sick and Prez. wanted us to Help her have a really good time. I would like to think that we did a good Job. We (as in Elder Johnson and I) had them all Laughing. I think that was just what she needed. Well thats about it for now. Sorry its kind short. We just haven't done too much other than Zone Confs.
I love you and miss you all so much.

Subject: well big gulp hu? Well see you later.

So things are good. E. Johnson and i are getting along great. He is my new comp. He is so much fun. I haven't stoped laughing. He is call bald Johnson because he has no hair on him. He is from north Utah. he really like outdoors stuff. he was a Zone leader for a long time before he came to the office. he is really smart and know how to talk to people. I'm having a lot of fun with him. We work really good together in the office. We do get a lot done for the office but not for our area. We just seem to always run out of time. We get one thing done and they come and tell us something else that we need to do. We do get to go and do some fun things some times. We had a great time at the Temple last night. It was great to see all the mission put on the show. Our missionaries sang and played. It was really good. Then on New Years Eve we got to watch the movie "Up" It was really good. I really liked SQUIRREL!!!!!!! LOL. If you don't know that is from the movie. I had a lot of fun with the Movie. I do say it was really sad and the start. All the Sisters where crying. and i don't what to hear any smart comments that i was one of them or anything like that. I know some of you would find that a prime time to make a smart remark.(Alex, Tyler, and maybe Dad) I really liked the movie. I do say it is really hard to run a area and all the new things that we are doing for the office.The Office couples that where in the office are not here so we are running the office. They will be back. They went to see family. And i don't know if i told you all last week that i was sick. Well i was sick. I'm better now. It was like just a day thing. I tell you what the toilet will never be the same again. LOL. Thanks to all the sent me something. I really done thank you for what you could give. I know that everyone is really having a hard time with all the crap that is going on. It was so great to get to talk to you all. I know you all where missin my sexy voice. LOL. Well i love you all and miss you.
