Hello everyone!
Mom, thanks for putting money in my checking :)
Oh my goodness! Casey is already home??? that is just nuts!
I do know a sister Trujillo! She is serving in my zone as a spanish sister!
DOn't be discouraged on a B. Thats still awesome!!! better then a C!
Dad, that is awesome that you love your job. It makes all the difference.
thats hilarious about chuck. haha.
Garrett, I am trying my best not to get trunky. ALso, that is good that you are moving one the 8th. I will be home on the 5th! of which is a VERY long way away.
Gavin, I'm glad you liked the card!
as of miles. My area covers 6 cities because the ward is so big. Just set up a LOT of apointments during weekly planning, and don't go driving around ALL day. that just sucks up your miles. plan around dinner. That will save you a lot of miles. With our ward, we were over my first transfer here. But with effective planning, we actually had enough miles last month to get to the top of one of our areas that we hardly ever go to and we were still under 100 miles. So, plan effectively! learned this from experiance :)
This week was awesome even though a ton of people cancelled.
the ward is doing so awesome with doing missionary work. This challenge with the youth is not only getting the youth excited for missionary work, but it is getting the parents thinking about it as well. We were helping a 13 year old overcome her fears of inviting someone to church. We role played with her, and used the scriptures in D&C 33 (open your mouth). It was so awesome! Then that sunday, she brought 2 people to church! It was awesome!! the ward is really becoming involved in the work as to opposed to before we started this challenge.
So, something exciting that is happening in the mission this week, is we are going to watch Meet the Mormons! the new movie that is coming out on the 10th. Salt Lake is lending us a copy to watch a day before it comes out! we are watching it on thursday! Soooooooooo stoked!
So something cool happened on thursday. We were getting out of our dinner, when we got a phone call from our ward mission leader saying that he got a phone call from someone who lives out of the mission that knows somebody that wants immediate contact from the church. So we were in hudson at the time, and we rushed over to Fort Lupton of where she was at, and we met her on the porch. She is a young single mom, and with kids. she had one child die at 2 months, and she is pretty much married but going through a divorce. A while back her husband took the kids and left her homeless in Denver. Crazy! but know she is trying to find the meaning of life and she knows that the gospel has helped her friends and she wants help from anything. She said she is wondering if she can go to church even though she's not a member of the church. AMAZING!!! we are going to see her again on tuesday.
Also transfers are coming up next week. Ugh! super stressful, but if you get my letter really late next week, you'll know why.
Conference was AMAZING!
there is so many talks that I have learned. My favorite talk was elder Bednar. When he told the story of two boys and the pain could be descrbed in the scriptures. "there was a great howl. weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth." hahahahahah! that was awesome. But I did get a lot of inspiration from a lot of the apostles.
I love you all!!
