Hey Mamma!

 

How has your week been? I got like 3 or 4 letters from ya this week! Not a bad thing, I didn't expect it! Thank you! :D So Lissa had her baby? Thats awesome! Caden and Ryan you said came to the 11 year old boys now? Ah I miss those little guys. I am happy to hear everything is going well there! Really glad to hear bro. miles is doing better. That has to be very hard though the medication not helping the whole four hours. You gave them the letter I sent right? Glad to hear you are feeling better too mom! I am now starting to feel really under the weather, I don't know if its allergies or what but I am coughing alot so I don't think it is. Things this week have been so busy! We taught 34 lessons, and got 4 new investigators. Our goal is 40 lessons cause we have the 4 of us but alot of things fell through! We didn't get in our weekly planning which is reallly bad! We have been super busy though. The lady getting baptized is doing okay, she still needs to quit smoking and drinking coffee but she is making progress. I met this guys Brian this week who I think he is a single dad, I didn't ask but it seemed that way from what I saw, anyways, we were tracting and ended up meeting him and talking with him, turns out he has met the missionaries before and they all taught him Lesson 1 The Restoration, and we didn't know that at first, but we felt prompted to teach Lesson 2 The Plan of Salvation, and he was super surprised he had never heard that before! He agreed alot with what we taught, but the whole lesson there seemed to be something missing, I don't know what it was, but something wasn't there that should have been, I think he might have been drinking before we came by, and that kind of halted his reception to feeling it. I don't know though, he was a good guy, good hopes and dreams and expectations for his kids. Then Dorris an older lady, who took a history class in college recently and learned about Joseph Smith a little bit, so she was interested in knowing more, but her husband she doesn't think will, we are trying though. We made progress. We had great progress this week in our companionship! We do "I love you because and I'm sorry because" everynight with one another and this has helped alot, the first couple nights only Elder Dame and I wanted to do it, and do it right. But Vaughn and Johnson were tired and wanted to skip it. Anyways we did it cause we made the commitment, and it has been great since. Elder Dame and I can work really well together now we are much better friends. There is alot of good going on out here, I want to work harder and harder though to see more progress come. All in the Lords time though right? Haha I love ya mom! Thank you so much for your support! Thank you to everyone else too! Oh mom can you post some of those pictures on that CD on my blog? If you can. That would be neat! I'm fixin (southern folk talk) to send you another CD I just gotta get it to the post office to pay for it. I'll do it today! I'll send some more letters too! I am sorry I am losing the habbit of journal entries and letters. I will do better :D Oh have you heard anything from Samantha or Sam? I really would like to hear from them and see how things are going. Can you try Samantha again on Facebook for me? I love ya mom! Thank you so much! Everyone here says Peanut Butter Cookies! :DD I love you mom! I love you all! Have a great week!
