So this Wednesday will
be my 11 month mark which is crazy that I'm almost to that halfway
point already. There is still so much I need to learn and accomplish. I
hope that your week in Vegas went really well and that nothing too crazy
happened. This week was more of the same for me, Biking, walking and
knocking. We found a few new people this week so we will see where they
go. The highlight of the week happened on Sunday When I had the
privilege to confirm the Aaronic Priesthood to Derek Hunter the Recent
convert here a few weeks ago. It truly was a neat experience. We didn't
run into anyone super crazy this week which kinda makes the week boring
ha. We have a few investigators that are just right there but it seems
that anything that can go wrong does. One got a concussion at a local
amusement park, another just had a son sent to jail. What a life,
Watching what these people have grown up doing their entire life makes
me so thankful to have been raised in the Restored Gospel. Still getting
to play basketball every week, my shot is still a little off but i have
made up for it by playing crazy D and Rebounds. Well I hope all is well on your end love ya lots.

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.

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.
love ya'll and miss ya

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
