Hi Mom!! I am so sorry I am horrible with letters, I am super glad you enjoyed the letter! I have made a goal to write you once a week kay? Hold me accountable on that! I have been worried about you the last couple days is everything okay? How are you doing? What can i do for ya? Let me know your okay please. Elder Dame is back to being District Leader and our first district meeting Elder Dame talked about goals and accountablility so we all set some goals, earlier he taught me about setting goals just me and him so I set 3 goals One: Wake up and work out every day at 6:30 Two: Have an effective study Three: Get to bed on time. Goals are great I am enjoying the push to be better! So this week we did some inspired tracting, Elder Dame's allergies were really bad so just Elder Vaughn and I were going out, what we did was start by praying together and asking for forgiveness and inspiration, after that we looked at the map and looked in a general area we each chose 5 to 10 streets and then showed them to eachother and we had one in common, we trusted the Lord wanted us to go there, so we did, and as we tracted the street, we found 3 people we were able to talk to. Not new investigators, but some to chat with, the first lady was catholic and wasn't interested but was willing to take some literature so we gave her a book of mormon and taught her about its history, then the next one was a guy that walked out and first thing he said was YOU FOUND ME!! Elder Vaughn and I walked away from that just giddy!! Then the last house was done on that street but I had a hunch to do the next house on the other street. So we did and thats when we got our new investigator, her name is Margo, we didn't get to teach her but we have a number and we are going to back soon! Elder Johnson and I were tracting the other day too and we found two folks, one lady Maureen she is a sweet heart from New York who we will be seeing Wednesday. We met a guy Robert Savage that same day we found Maureen and he is an inactive member, who used to live in mesa, and was baptized out there, he said he worked for Bob Jones, it sounds familiar to me, do we know him? Well we met with him Saturday and told him about church and taught a quick lesson, he was sharing with us some experiences and he was talking about the Holy Ghost and his eyes got red and watery! It was very powerful to see him remember the witness he received from the Spirit before, the even greater news is.....HE WAS AT CHURCH SUNDAY!!! Oh it was so good to see him! He is a really good guy going through hard times. He says he will be coming back for now on. He better, we'll be keeping up with him. So flea market turned out pretty well, we got alot of refferalls for other areas we had 8 missionaries there with us, and talked to everyone! We were all over that day, from 8 30ish til 2 o'clock we were walking. I was kinda planning on my goals for the transfer recently and I have a hard time with some of these guys, they are pretty cranky on occasion so often Elder Dame or Elder Vaughn get snappy and it really grinds my gears and I don't help it by opening my mouth back, you know that well :p but this transfer I have two very important scriptures to follow, one is Alma 38:12 be bold, not overbearing, bridle all your passions that ye may be filled with love ( thats paraphrased) i looked up in the dictionary what bold and overbearing meant, and it translates to be, be courageous but not arrogant. haha i got a kick outa that. The next one is Proverbs 15:1 a soft answer turneth away wrath. I am gonna work on just being gentle like Christ. I love this work so much, I love working and feeling the Spirit when I teach, studying is so wonderful, I learn so much, studying the Book of Moses has been great, we've learned alot. I am so glad to know this church is true, the Atonement is in full force all around us, I have so much to improve on, but I am a disciple of Jesus Christ the Son of God, I have been called of Him to declare His word among His people that they might have Everlasting Life. 3 Nephi 5 :13 Mom thank you so much for your prayers! I love you so much! The Miles sent me a letter it was from Hannah and Emma, it was really cool I enjoyed it. Thank you Momma, I was pondering the other day and thought about back home, I thought about what you told me before I left if anything happened to you, Mom you're the best, I love you so much. You have been such a miraculous blessing in my life. I am so grateful for you Mom. With all the love a son can give, I give.
Sean :D
