Hey Fam,
Hows everybody doing down there?? Is school coming along well with the new kids?? I really hope that the school year can be succesfull for you both. I hear people talk about school sometimes and it always reminds me of the crazy kids you talk about every dinner haha. I still havent finished off all those goodies in the packages you sent theres so much goodies in there!
So some Q's again: Is Amy really going to New York and when is she going...i heard from Shauna in a letter? Also Matt Beus is coming home in 2 weeks? thats crazy! O and did you send my letter to David and how is Louie, you see him ever?? And how did Fantasy go DAD?
Update down here in the North Valley: Had a sweet day last week and we got 4 new investigators that were home! 2 of them are actually ones that could go somewhere and asked good Q's. I noticed also that when we were working hard it was the day that I recieved the most insults from people in cars...kinda weird huh? Also got to teach some Lesbains which was really interesting and one of them kissed me on the cheek, didnt enjoy that too much :) And the end of the day I got to give one of the Sisters a blessing that wasnt feeling too well...it was only my second time but I said the right stuff and didnt mess up at all. Phone went off from text message during the blessing, but I recoverd well and kept going. Me and Elder CHilders are working well together and the numbers might not be showing but were helping this area pick up. Our Zone Leader Elder Yardley who I really like even said its a tough area cuz he served in it, so it makes me feel better when have great days where we see alot of people and teach them about the Gospel.
Got to play some Zone on Zone basketball too yesterday and I was so excited! I think I was little too excited at the beggining cuz I had some dumb turnovers at the begging, but got more comfortable near the end. It felt alot like a C-Squad basketball game in High School with the very few amount of people there but cheering after every point there team scores. We won all 4 games and other missionaries we are probly the Best Zone in the mission. Got some nice ties on pday too, and got a Nicole Miller tie (reminded me of the Seinfield where Elaine wants Nicole Millers and the guy says he'll give her free discounts) So ya loving the mission life and cant complain :)
I would love to bear my testimony that I know this Church is true. I know my Heavenly Father loves me and that he wants the best for me in this life. That is why he provided commandments and why the fullness of the Gospel is found within the Book of Mormon. Im grateful for all my family and friends and the support I recieve from them. I know this is the Lords work and it is so important. I bear you this tesimony in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Love,
Elder D
