The “one”

Sweet family-
Well it was interesting to hear about what happened with James last week. Way to be a noob and not go to the doctor until you appendix had ruptured. But thanks for the letter maybe I’ll write you all letters this week or next week.
So things have been interesting. I wasn’t feel up to life for a couple days… but then I worked really hard to get over it, and then life turned around. So we went to zone conference which was pretty enjoyable and we are now doing member lessons as a key indicator.
We, as a companionship, printed off Elder Ballards quote from conference about the “one.”

“We are not asking everyone to do everything. We are simply asking all members to pray, knowing that if every member, young and old, will reach out to just “one” between now and Christmas, millions will feel the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. And what a wonderful gift to the Savior.”-Elder Ballard Continue reading “The “one””

“doubt your doubts.”

I literally have nothing to write about. This week warden smelled worse than ever. Every day it smells more like vomit and more like poop. Sorry for saying dirty words. 🙂 I am kind of getting used to it though. Maybe by the time I leave I will miss the smell of warden. HAHA PSYCH. That’s not going to happen. I’m sure I’ll miss a lot of things but that putrid smell isn’t one of them.

constantly

Hi family-
Well we had temple pday. Hence why this is coming on Wednesday. One week ago I got my new comp, Hermana Porter she is from Mesa Arizona, and came straight out of the Mexico MTC. She is a cool little thing (I say little because she is only 5’1″) She’s nineteen years old and hasn’t lived away from home yet. Her Spanish is limited, but that luck was bound to come to a close, so I’ve been giving her the awkward stares and coughs in Spanish lessons to get her to talk.  So that’s been fun! I’m in Warden, as I believe I told you last week.

noodle arms

Well, This week we have spent a lot of time cleaning up after that storm. On Saturday we and a bunch of men from the ward got together and cleaned up trees like no tomorrow. All I could think all day was “Man! I love Mormons!” I think it is so great that while mostly all of these men lost tons of crops in the storm, and had their own damage, they got together and went around serving other people. My arms are still pretty sore from throwing tree branches around. We did get some good OYMs out of the deal. Continue reading “noodle arms”

Taking the town by storm

Family,
My mind doesn’t seem to think past yesterday right now..
Ok here we go with earlier on in the week: We had the tour of the dairy and I was NOT feeling well that day, so there was one part where we went past where they separate the “Solids and the liquids” yaa…. I almost lost my stomach big time. BUT I kept it together, and then we looked at some baby cows which were pretty adorable.  Continue reading “Taking the town by storm”

Angel Food Cake

This week has been loco coco. Monday was regular, we as a zone played a riveting game of Qwiddich, and I think I have found my new sport, because I owned everybody at that game. Tuesday: we had to drive to Othello TWICE to get the car damage estimated and then the man forgot to take pictures we also had district meeting, so by the time we got back we had a dinner appointment and the day was pretty much shot.  Continue reading “Angel Food Cake”

another week another peso

Family,

Well… I have nothing to say. Happy Birthday a couple days ago to Rachel! I sent a card… probably didn’t get there yet.. My bad.

This week was pretty interesting, we had exchanges last Monday and I got to be with Hermana Hatfield, pretty sure she is the coolest person in the world. We stayed up really late with some nice pillow talk, and then changed the lives of millions. AKA we translated at a food bank. Then we went back to our normal comps and areas.

J-dubbed

Hi everyone,

First of all, I want you to know I put all your letters in a big purple binder in order. Ya.. It’s pretty awesome. Now on to the important things, missionary work.

Life in Warden has picked up the pace a lot more, and we actually have a couple things going. I can honestly say I’m so thankful to my heavenly father, I was starting to go a little more coo-coo than normal. This week has brought a lot of neat experiences. So the only mangster we really have left standing is Carlos. He wouldn’t let us know where he lived, and anyways one night with just three minutes to spare we decided to try a house nearest to a field we found him trumping out of a couple weeks back. Lo and behold, we found the mangster’s hide out, who needs a last name, address, or phone number when you have the holy spirit? Ya, not these missionaries!  ( Carlos also came to church)
