10 months

Well it is crazy for me to think that it has already been 10 months. They do seem pretty quick and only keep speeding up. This week went pretty quickly we walked a ton! And It was hot. It is the end of the month and we are pretty much out of miles that we are allotted so walking till Friday could be a possibility so Danville is gonna be hit up a lot. Well you are always asking about prospects and right now we don't really have anyone progressing just in a growing stage of the process right now. Yesterday the Liberty elders came up and played some basketball with us and that was fun. I'm disappointed in myself for not being able to dunk the ball anymore but I will get back there. This week was my closest in awhile. A typical day here goes as follows; 6:30 wake up, exercise until 7:30 shower get dressed eat breakfast, 8:00 personal study ( read the scriptures, conference talks, Preach my Gospel) 9:00 companion study (lesson plan prepare for the day) 10:00 walk up and down main street talking to everyone until about lunch then drive somewhere and knock and talk until either a lesson or we take dinner. It becomes a routine cycle that we are trying to fill with more lessons and less knocking ha.

Sounds like everyone is doing well. I bet they are glad they are out of school. It has been just over a year since I graduated which still surprises me cause I can remember it like it was yesterday. Life is picking up speed and I anticipate it won't slow down for a long time. I have been thinking about college but still undecided where to go. I know I need to start making some decisions soon. Tell Bryson to enjoy baseball and to not make it too serious. I remember losing the championship game my 13 year old year on a pass ball that bounced off grant labbes catchers mitt, and Mitch Kissel stole home to give the long horns the win, boo ha. but no biggie that game had no effect on anything after that day. Presto's summer is going to fly. I remember being in that point two years ago and that was the fastest summer ever, well other than the half summer last year ha.

Well we will get transfer calls this Saturday. It is the sixth week with elder Stevenson and things are still going well between us. He's the first companion I can actually talk about sports with which has been a nice change of pace ha.


Peace out

May 21st Letter

hello

This week went well we still don't really have anyone progressing at the moment but at least we are talking to a lot of people. Interviews went really well and the training really focused on obedience and using/knowing mormon.org. We were told that something big was about to happen in the mission that another mission was using and improved their numbers dramatically. If you haven't been on the new mormon.org I would encourage you to check it out it really has some cool videos on it. Well I guess I might be here to really truly learn patience and to stop relying on my own talents to get by and truly trust in the Lord. President said that when I'm a bishop I'll look back at Danville and know how to help my ward ha that just made me laugh. I don't want to be a bishop they have so much to do. The ward is alright but they could be better and we will work with them. Each day is full of walking in the heat and talking to people. We had an exchange this week with our district leader and his comp. I served with Elder Shutt, he is interesting, very optimistic and talks a lot so I have had experience with companions like that. We taught a JW couple that was interesting. Some of their beliefs are way out there ha.


Well I love all of you so much and miss you dearly. Continue to read the BoM, Pray and attend church weekly. Good luck with the rest of school and work and Sports. Adios

May 15th Letter


Well what else can I say that we didn't talk about yesterday hmm.. . . Well this week we had a blitz with our zone leaders so I served with Elder Tolman the first again. He is still the same talking non stop but it was good. We did have a better week overall and talked to a lot of more people just trying to build up our teaching pool out here. 

 We did play basketball last week and we had one game where my team lost 11 to 9 but I did have 8 of our points so I know why Lebron would leave Cleveland (Ha* Ha) but other than that game Elder Stevenson and myself took it to them.   Glad to hear all of you are doing so great finish strong with school it will pay off. I'll keep thinking about schools to apply for and I'll let you know if anything comes to me on the topic. Elder Stevenson said that he either wants to major in communications or go into physical therapy. I still think the medical field is my choice as of this moment but you never know where that will be in another year. 

Well after talking to you Elder Stevenson called his family and we didn't really do anything after that because it was time to go home. It was great to talk to you and see all of you. I do miss you and loved hearing everything that everyone is up to in good ol Idaho. I'm sure I'll have more to say next week.

Love ya

Letter May 8th Yellow what it is (my Kentucky phrase for the week)

Well our week here was very tough everything seemed to fall through and the rough stage is kinda continuing on. But this week should be better, you always have to have that point of view that things can only get better from here. I don't really have much to report on this week just a lot of knocking doors and talking to people on the streets. 

Well happy Mothers day this week! It is that time of the month where we are able to go play some hoops as a district. and this time the game should be a bit more intense or at least we have some players that can play it sounds like. I don't know if I told you that Elder Johnson is in my district again he was the one in New Albany Bike that came out with me from Idaho Falls so I'm starting to be surrounded by more people that I know. But I guess as I get older that is more likely to happen because I'll know more people. Sounds like the Dodgers are still doing good and thank you for the update on the NBA, I think I want Thunder verses the Heat in the finals Durant vs Wade two of my favs. Well Stevenson is still awesome after two weeks so yes things are beginning to look up. 

love ya'll and miss ya
