SAT 12/12/09

So things are going good. I got the yearbook done. It will be ready to be picked up on Monday at noon. The one that the guy made right there looked really good. I think every one will like them. So Larry is having a hard time still. He feel that the ward is not helping he out at all. We really don't know what to do for him. He said that he is thinking about not coming to chruch for the next two weeks. He wants to be resealed from his Calling NOW. we just don't know what to do. We had a lession with Micheal on Sun. it was good. We had the home teacher come with us. We told him Why we were meeting with him. We really want to see him go on a mission. I know that it will help him in life. He is like running a business or something. he really doesn't want to leave it. I know that going on a mission will help him in his business later. He even told us that E. Averett and I would be great Business Men. We also had another lession with George. It was an ok lession. Not as good as the last one. He still asked a lot of good questions. We did our best to anwser them. He didn't feel like we anwsered them to his liking. We didn't give him a baptism date like we planned. We did ask he to come to chruch. He said that he would try to come. He said that he has his chruch that he goes to at 11. ours is at 9. He can still come. I hope and pray that he comes to chruch. I know that will make all the difference. He has some of the best prayers. They are sooooo heart felt. I feel that he is trying to find out. He is reading and praying. We will ask he to be baptized next time. So I had another frist on my mission. Freezing Rain. it was new. It like getting hit with little BBs. it didn't hurt, not yet at lest. I didn't mind it i wasn't getting wet from it. Well thats about all for now i Love you and miss you.

bed as your brother? Well im sleeping with your Father.

Let me just start off with ITS SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. this is something that I don't see very much. SNOW!!!!!!! So things are good. The yearbook that i have been working on needs one more pic. and it will be done. Every thing else is done on it. We will needed to Start printing it out soon so that we can get it done in time. So thats fun. So we had this way sweet Lession with one of our invest. Hes name is George. We just stopped by we had not been able to see him for a week or so. It was rainning when we went to see him. He tells us to come in, so we do. We start talking and he tells us that he had been thinking a lot about the frist lession that we had had almost 2 weeks ago. He had a lot of questions. We both gave him really strong testimonys. He asked us "If I don't think that this Book (The Book of Mormon) is true Will i be Damned." Then we said if you are not Baptized by the Authority of God Then Yes. Then i told that We don't come out here to take anything way that you know to be true. I come out here to save souls I come out here to save your soul George. I want you to be saved. I know that these thing are true that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God, And that you can find out for your self too. It was soooooo powerful. He then said "Well you have given me a lot to think about." We asked if we could come back some time this next week to meet. He wanted to meet in 2 Weeks. I was like do you have any time sooner that we could come and he said That we could try Monday. So we will. We are going to ask him to be Baptised the next time we met. I know that he is ready. I love having a Temple Visitor Center here that has so many great thing at it. Its the best thing when we go out to talk to people and we bring up the Festival of Lights. There are so many people that know about it a go every year with there familys. It makes it really easy to get people to do something like that that is fun, free, and not pushing them. I really wish that our temple had a Visitors. Well things are good. Im having a great time. We are really trying to get some guys out here to want to go on missions. there are 2 guys that are the right age and need to go. We will see what we can do. Well thats about it for now. I love you all and miss you.

How is my fam. that loves me so. lol. well things are good. After Elder Walker came we (the office Staff) are not going to be staying up past 10:30pm. we are to be in bed by then. I tell you i have never been so happy to go to bed by 10:30. So we just got 4 new computers for the office and they are a huge pain in my butt. We have been spending a lot of time just trying to get them to work right. I told them if they wanted to fix the problem they just needed to get macs. I never told you that this year for our Christmas Conf. for the mission we are having it in the Capitol building. Thats going to be sooooooooo Sweeeeeeeet. its on the 16th of Dec. it will be so much fun. So yesterday E. Averett and i went to the mission home and helped Sister Albright put up her new Christmas treeand everything on it. That was fun. We really didn't get to go and work to much this week. I had a good Thanksgiving. It was just not the same. It didn't even feel like Thanksgiving. I still had a lot of good food. It is really cold right now. I mean really cold. I got my kilt.

SAT 11/21/09

Just to let you know im still Digsting so my kung fu

might not be as good as...later.

So how is it going in the really world? things are good. So being a office elder is a lot of work. Some nights we don't get to bed until like 3:00am. it hard to get up at 6:30 with three and a half hours of sleep. But we do it. Some day we stay and work at the office all day. I have been working on the Christmas Yearbook. I a book that we put out every year at Christmas With name and Pictures of all the missionary in the field. We also put their mailing address. its really nice to have. it helps you keep all that stuff in one place. Im all most done with it. We didn't get to go work to much this week(like tracting and things like that). We did have a really good lession with a new invest. Hes name is Victor. We found him tracting and he asked us to come in and have some chille. So we did and we talked about the BOM. We gave him one and asked if we could come back. So we did. So when we sat down to start to talk, his roommate come in and asked if he could sit in on the lession. We were like ya. His name is George. So Victor started asking some questions. and we did are best to anwser them. They were really good questions. We both gave solid testimony and told them what to do to find out if its true. Then at the End George gave the closing prayer. It was a really good pray. I feel like he was really putting his heart in to it. We need to Call them soon. We have a new convert that we go by and see every so often. His name is Larry Clouse. He is going thourgh a really really really hard time. Lets see he has had his power turned off, money stolen, 3 Million dollars in debt that is not his, and he has a 5 day eviction notice. Lets just say that it a little hard for him. It doesn't help that he is so judgemental and prideful. I just pray that he come out better in the end. So we had Elder Walker of the Seventy. it was so good. I took a lot of notes. He told us how to get our invests. to church. and things that we can do to make ourself better missionarys. We did have to go and move the Kellers out of their apt. The Kellers were with me in Falls Church. They were the Seinor couple there. No joke Pro-mover right here.lol that is like the 3 move we have had to do. They had a lot of heavy crap. Its pritty sweet to get to be around Prez. all the time. The APs are our roommates. E. Ross and E. Gifford. E. Gifford told us(the office Elders) that we are like printers. We get everything done and with out being noticed until something go wrong.LOL you know that is so true. Well thats about it for now.
I love you all and miss you.

SAT 11/14/09

Subject: Holy crap its a cat!!

So im a office elder. wow its a lot of work. I don't have a lot of time to do just about anything. We don't even get to go tracting or teaching for the most part. we spend a lot of time in the office and divering all of the mission or working on the Mission computers. I was called to be a office elder because Our Bishop and stake Prez. were telling Prez. Albright that i was good on computers. So would you tell them thanks.JK lol. We take the missionarys places if they need too. Today at 5:00am we had to get up so that we could take a missionary to the airport. He was going home for the 2nd time because of health. I don't think he will come back out. We deliver all kinds of stuff to everyone. We move missionarys to there new appts. if they are moving. We did that today. Our Pday is on Sat. We also live with the AP. so on the friday after transfer we that is office Elders and the APs get to sleep in because of how little we get that week. The APs got about 2 hours of sleep a night the Whole week of transfers. So they let us sleep a little longer that day. Every night we get in between 10:30 and 12:00 and sometimes later like 2 or 3 in the morning. We don't get to sleep very much. I get to drive the mission Van and Truck and ever other car in the mission. and I some times have to drive the cars all by my self. Thats really weird not having your comp. in the car with you. its fun still. And now im no longer on a bike. I just hope not to lose my Thunder Thighs.LOL I get to be around Prez. and Sis. Albright a lot. I seem to be one of the only missionarys in the mission that know how to work Macs. They only have one. I had to fix it yesterday and im still not done with it. I told them that if they wanted to fix all the computers they just need to get Macs. Im going to tell you now I don't think i will be getting you all a letter ever week this transfer. We don't have any time. The time that we do have we spend trying to get some sleep. Well thats about it for now. I love you and miss you like i miss people that use Macs.
