March 24

Hey momma! Well this week was a little better! We did have a little more sucess this week and found a couple of new people! We still havent had the chance to teach Delma again... Its a little sad but we have had contact with her and it was really awkwand when we met her hahah! She ran up to me like 100 mph and just jumped on me?? Yeah a little too much! If she was cute then it would be okay but... Yeah hahaha! She still doent want to meet because of things going on in her life right now and just has a little too much stress at the moment she says. Her mom says the same thing, but at the same time i dont blame them because the father just decieded to leave randomly!!? So Its pretty much just Delma and the mom and they have to take care of like 5 kids!! Pretty rought for them at the moment and they do understand that our message can help them but because he left they both needed to pick up some jobs to pay bills and a lot of stress comes throught that too! So at the moment im just gonna give them some space but they do like it when we call them to see how they are doing so we do that about once a week. 
 

Oh well you asked me if i met with pres this week and the answer is yes! But what he told me im not tooo happy about it hahaha! He told me in the interview  that in july probably i will be made dirstirct leader..... When he told me that my face went a little white and a little nervous but ill be fine! He told me that i am a "Natural leader"?? And he has some of his best missionaries leaving in july and needs his best missionaries to take their places. I do have something to look forward too i guess. I wanted to train. District leader means i have to worry about how other people work... Not my thing... The way people work is their own stuff... Every person has something good to bring i dont want to change people hahah! I am willing to do what ever the lord wants from me though. If this is where i need to be then i will do it! :) 

Well i do have some scary news though... SO i didnt give my talk this week because the temple pres came to our church yesterday and so did the stake pres so they both gave talks but then mine got pushed to the next week and they also said that instead of me giving a 10 min talk i have to give a 20 min talk! Not too happy about that one. IT was kinda funny when the bish called me about it. He is really sarcastic and so am i and when he called me to tell me that he asked if that would be okay...? I told him right away No... hahaha Then he told me... Oh... Well what am i suppose to do now? I just told him... Well thats not my job... hahaha I later accepted it and he laughed and it was funny! He and I get a long really good he is a funny guy! 

Well momma i will send alyssa something real quick ... and tell ethan that he needs to not lie to you! This school thing is not a joke... I took it as a joke and now im really struggling because i took it like a joke. Take it a little more serious.. but still have fun!!! :) 

love you all!

Happy Saint Patricks Day

Hey momma!!! Wow... IT sounds like a lot is going on this week!!! You and everyone sound super busy hahaha! A lot more busy than i am!! This week was really really really slow!! ITs crazy, it seems like as soon as peace and victor were baptised all of our work has gone down the drain hahah! We just need to find one more prepared person just like peace! Peace isnt doing too well though... She didnt come to church yesterday becasue of her family problems... She has a bunch of family issues and she said that she was just wayyyyy too stressed to come to church!! I can understand why its hard for her though... She is a single mom and has to help 3 children all get ready and go to church at 9 in the morning!! I feel bad for her. Im not sure what else we can do to hlep her in her situation... 

Another one of our problems that we are having right now is that a lot of our investagators are saying that they dont want to meet anymore... Like one of our really strong investagators Delma said bye to us like the ohter day and that was a little hard. We only found one new investagator this week. She seems pretty solid and really easy to teach. She said that she met the missionaries in africa when she was 14 and wanted to join the church then but then lost contact with them, she said she still wants to join our church! SO I feel like she could be pretty solid!! 

Wait..... What??? The little gibson girl is getting married??? What the heck?? That is soooooooo weird.... I cant believe that!! Isnt she like 18 years old?? WOW that was a bit of a shoker!!! 

HAHAHAHA Your telling me that dads lifting partner is back??? ahahahah. WOw... Tell dad that i want to lift with both of them when i get back.. I will show them how a  real man lifts weights!! ;) 

Oh well there is a little bit more of bad news this week.... I have to give a talk this week in church... ugh... talks really stress me out hahaha!!! I have to give a talk about prophets because G.C Is comig up!! 

 :

Well im not sure what else to say.. This week for me was really slow hahaha! I hope you all have a fun week!! LOVE you all!!!
One fun thing the weather is warming up enough to wear shorts on pday.. one of the Elders wanted to sit in the park and sketch none of the other elders wanted to so I voluntered. I wrote and essay on what it was llike in the park. I know Momma i havent ever written one of those befoe. Just trying to keep the peace..

Pics from the baptism

 Me and Elder Sufrett.. Peace and Victor.

My first baptism

Hey there momma. Well this week was a little crazy... Like crazy...Before the baptism and after the baptism was nutz!!!! Wow... preparing the baptism was really really stressful and then... The baptism was really stressful... It was really cool!!! I had my first baptism of my mission!!! I cant say everything went all good though hahaha... Well, IT was cool that Victor asked me to baptise him. Peace the lady, she was baptised by a member.. My fav member!!! But, the worst thing possiable happened!! Well... when Peaces baptism was taking place not all of her dress went under the water, so we had to do it again, but we were a little slow at telling her that she needed to do it again, so she walked all the way out of the faunt and started to dry herself off... Then, she was told that she needed to go back into the faunt and redo it! she was totally fine about that but as she was walking down the steps that are made of tile she slipped onto her back like really really hard!!! We all thought that we were gonna have to take her to the hospital, but she was totaly fine!! ITs kinda a mirical that she is okay she landed on her neck!!!! We asked her the next day and she said she didnt have any pain what so ever!!! I felt sooo bad for her but now her baptism can be an experiance that she will never forget hahah....

The baptism wasnt all fun and games thought... It is a pain to clean those thing up after words... hahahaha... After the baptism we took our p day because we didnt take it on monday last week!! So we kinda just had a party and celebrated!!! The other elders that live with us had a baptism that same day!!! So there were 3 all in one day!!! SO we all went out to eat at a nice restaurant and had some fun!!! 

This week was not sooo good besides the baptism though... We had like no success with people on the street and didnt have too many lessons manily because we needed to plan out the baptism!!! SO our numbets for the week are a little low!! We should be having another baptism on the 23 of this month!!! Crazy right!!! Pres Kosak said his strongest missionaries are in Hamburg right now!!! Pretty cool, he also said that Hamburg is his foucus!!! 

WEll im happy to hear everyone is doing great!!! What is the name of Petras new husband?? He sounds like a cool guy!! You didnt send me any pictures of her and her husband!! If you have one that would be way cool to see :) 

Kinda sounds like things are just going like normal!!! People are going on their missions and life at home is staying the same Ellie is going nutz... Ethan loves to sing hahah!!! WHat about Steve?? how is he doing this week?? Im glad dad is still going stong on his diet That pretty cool!!! 

Well I love you all a lot!!! :)

Whew what a day

 WOW... IF you knew my day that i have had today you would screem... Today has been nutz!!! We have been helping the sisters the whole day... The sisters had some apartment problems and they had to move out and now they are moving back in and we had to help them move all the stuff into their new apartment. The church bought them all brand new... Well everything!!! It was really cool its about time the sisters got an upgrade though... We have had a brand new apartment for a while now :) But i guess the funny thing is the problem with the apartment was that there was soooo much mold in the apartment that the sisters were getting sick... I thought girls were cleaner than that!!! YEAH.... Nasty... We had to take out all of the old stuff and bring in the new stuff and build the new stuff too! So i have spent like all day at Ikea and building stuff for the sisters and there area is like 45 min away! So i sure hope that explains why i didnt email earlier :) 

Well momma you know it.. the baptism is this week on saturday!!!! So this week is gonna be nutzzz!! We have soooo much planning to do and still a couple of things we need to teach her... So we are gonna have to work a little over time!! Its only gonna be the mom and her son this week ( Peace and victor) The mom is really excited to be baptised and is really excited for her son to be baptised!!! Im still not sure who is gonna do what like who is gonna do the actual baptism and giving the holy ghost and stuff.. We arent the best planners hahahah!! The only thing im worried about is that Peace (the mom) is going through a really hard time right now... Well her husband just left her... Im really worried about her right now. She didnt really give us too many details but we do know that he is gone and wont be coming back any time soon... ;( She is gonna meet with the Bish tomorrow for a little counsel she. The bish here is awesome and he is gonna go to her house to help her out and talk to her. I think its great and the bish really likes her and is really excited to have her be a part of the ward here!! :) 

Well as far as the other family goes they are doing really good we invited them to be baptised on the 23 of march..... AND...... They accepted... So we will be having probably like 4 baptisms on the 23rd!!! Is gonna be crazy!! They are doing really good. They daughter that is 18 is probably the most promising one out of all of them... She is really coool and wants to start coming to all the youth activities and stuff!! Her name is Delma hahah Kinda a funny name but she is really cool and also a huge black girl hahah! She isnt fat but like 6'2 hahaha! But she asks a lot of questions and loves learning from the book of mormon!!! :) The best is, is that this family and peaces family said that we are like a part of their family hahahah! :) it is going great. Another cool thing is that the ward here is like in love with us right now they said that us 4 missionaries right now are the best missionaries they have had in a long time :) We are loving it and loving the support from the ward here!!! 

WOW.... MOMMA... That is a really cool experience that you had in the temple!!! That is really cool... I love hearing stories like that!! WOW My momma is awesome!! way to go momma, way to think to say a prayer right at that moment!! I know im your son but im allowed to be proud of you too!!! :) 

HAHAHAHAHA I cant help but laugh about dad and his diet... Dont tell him im laughing but... i am just a little!!! :) Tell him to keep up the good work though!! :) 

Oh Yeah... I have heard a lot about the Ukraine thing... Pres kosak gave us permission to buy news papers... So i hear like all of the same world news... That America is thinking about getting involved a little bit... That makes me really nervious....Have you heard why russia in invaiding??
