Weekly Update

hello there how do ya do?

Well this week flew by actually. We had a blitz with our district leader and his companion on Wednesday and it felt good to switch up comps for a little bit.( A blitz is when there are four or more missionaries working in one proselyting area at the same time). It has just been Clawson and I all transfer and it can start to drag on if there aren't a few changes in the road. We also had a zone conference on Thursday it was good. They spoke a lot on keeping your places clean and how we are in charge of our own environment. Also to have that change of heart that needs to take place while you're out here or anywhere for that matter and just get lost in the work so to say. And Saturday was the big day and Jacob was baptized. And I was the one who had to privileged of performing the baptism. It was an Awesome experience and the first person that I have ever baptized personally but I look forward to more in the future for sure. Now we need to get back out there and find our next baptism. Transfer calls do come this Saturday so that should be interesting to see what happens, who will stay and who will go. Sounds like everyone is doing well and Go Dodgers!!! Kemp is my boy. I wear my dodgers shirt to bed every night ha. The one thing you might be missing from that package is a few of the scentsy scent packs I have ran out. Other than that I'm not really sure of anything else Don't want too much at the moment in case I need to pack next week. Well let me know if there is anything that I can do for ya. Love ya Bye

Weekly Update

Well hello there,

let's see this week kinda went by fast so I'm having trouble trying to remember all that was done. So we did play some b-ball on Monday in like 80 degree weather in Somerset. Since our district is a bunch of branches no one has a court so we played at a city park. very warm and humid! It was good no one really played too much before the mish most played football or nothing so there are some athletes I guess.

Tuesday we went over the baptismal interview questions with Jacob and he should be all set for this week the official interview is on Wednesday this week then the bap is on Saturday so it should be a solid week. This week at district meeting I had to give the training and the topic I was assigned was how to hold an Effective companionship study which can really be difficult after being with someone for a while, it went well I believe.

This weekend we helped a member doing some service, we helped load and unload some tree's he cut down at and elderly ladies house. It feels good to get out and do some different kind of work every now and then. For Easter we went to church and we were planning to be on our own but an elderly couple invited us over for dinner, it was pretty good. Can't complain. glad to hear ya'll had a good time. Transfers are in two weeks so I won't get a call this week but the next. Then on Thursday this week we have a zone conference so that should be good. I don't think it is against the rules to have a member text a picture to our parents as long as its not us doing it, it should be fine. Clawson is doing well still not opening up too much to other people so we will continue to work on that. Well not sure what else to say.

Love ya,

well what up?

This week went pretty fast we had a leadership training on Wednesday with a big focus on Opening our mouths as it says in D&C so many times. Also using the Book of Mormon more and just how important it is to get investigators to church each week. I want all of you to ask yourselves the question; Why do I (meaning each of you) go to Church each week? See what you can come up with. I also loved General conference and The Family was definitely a popular topic. I really enjoyed Elder Holland's talk it gives you a new perspective on one of the parables in the New Testament that I never really thought of before. Now there are a lot of things to work on for me especially after someone slams the door I have to watch how I react so I don't leave any negative feelings toward our church with them. At our training President Woodbury set a goal for us to speak to at least 10 people each everyday outside of our normal tracting (knocking on doors) and member work. It really forces me to come out of my shell and to know how to approach just random people and begin a conversation. Elder Clawson still is struggling with it so it is almost up to me to speak with everyone so no one goes by without contact. With conference I think the Sunday sessions spoke to me just a little more than Saturday which is the opposite of the last conference, So I figure it must be different for everyone anyways. Well still a little slow on the finding here but trying to work out some new methods so we shall see in the up and coming weeks.

The reason why I'm so early today is because we get to go play basketball as a district today so I have to drive a ways away. I'm stoked and I have been thinking about maybe a last minute addition to the package, One of My Rally Beavas Shirts that would be cool. Other than that I can't think of too many things. I did send a letter to dad this week so hopefully it gets there today if not the mail lost it arrg.

Well I love all of you and miss you as well. Glad to hear you enjoyed your week in AZ, for the most part, Sorry to hear you got sick mom.
adios muchachos
