hello family
I just want to say that I'm sorry for the pathetic email last week I've just been super swamped with stuff to do and haven't taken a real p-day in a couple of weeks.
I'm currently serving with Elder Sauer (sour) who is from Wenatchee Washington. He's cool I guess and someone that I'll have to get along with. He thinks that BYU is the greatest thing on the planet and so I humble him every once in awhile with a UTAH-BYU throw down which I never lose. He went to a year of school at BYU and was one of those awkward mormons who just went there because they were book smart enough and wanted to be somewhere where they felt comfortable. He's a long distance runner/ Piano player and never stops humming his "concert songs".... yea he basically annoys me with his straight up awkwardness...... Oh President why did you put Mr. Mormon in the Ghetto of Peoria???? I love him I really do but wow it's going to be a long 2 transfers together. He's been out 2 transfers longer then I have and he has a twin brother on a mission in the New Mexico Farmington Mission.
btw: our mission has 100 people with a baptismal date!!!!!
So what's been going on with me?!?!?! Last Monday I went to the Nauvoo Temple and did 2 sessions while I was there and before the first one started I got my blue slip and walked up the stairs where the people directed me and Elder Sauer was right behind me but decided to go to the bathroom and no one knew that he did and so when i sat in my seat the workers thought that all the Elders were in the room and ready and so they started to session and shut the door before he could enter and so I had a session without him which was amazing!!!!
Ok so our van got hit and we had to take into a shop to get it fixed on wednesday last week and the day before that we had zone leader council all the way in Des Moines which was way cool, those are just the best meetings. so that was like 500 miles of driving or something like that and so we were really tired and didn't get home until midnight on Tuesday. We were ready to work when we got up on wednesday morning and had lessons in the morning and had to take the car in so no time to email.
We had a good zone meeting and really focused on the "Prove me now herewith" with all the promises that we have been given as missionaries. We have promises from general authorities and Preach My Gospel and we are going to put our faith to the test and see what comes of it and also put the promises to the test and test the Lord with our faith in actually doing it; it was a good meeting and took up a lot of time on Thursday.
Friday we did as much Proselyting as we could on foot since we didn't have a car. Dedra and Hyland are going to meet with the Bishop here( who drives me crazy Tony If we think and feel alike, which we do then this bishop is on the lowest of low ranks of bishops like the one in Atlus OK) and try to get a marrage date set for them so that we can get Dedra baptized. that day we spent getting lessons put together for our exchange today with the assistants so we needed lessons to actually have and since we still don't have our van we are stuck in some areas. It was a stupid day on Saturday. So since today we start an exchange with the assistants in an hour we took our p-day on Saturday. On Saturday we did our scheduled service at the United Methodist Church's food pantry from 10-1 and then we had an appointment at 1:45 and that went until 2:30 and then we get a call from President about a trouble elder that was in Normal that is getting ET'd so we had to steal the sister's car and go the rescue 40 minutes away and get the elder out of there and get all of his stuff which was everywhere and drive his sorry %%$$## back to Peoria where we are currently babysitting him until President comes for interviews on Friday. So yea that was to worse p-day ever. and so we don't have one today and it's just flat out nuts here. I just need a rest.
I did get the package for me birthday, thanks so much i loved it. and now I have 2 of those humpday camels, because my future wife sent me one a week before I opened your white package with the other one in it. Basically we have our colors picked out and everything for our white wedding on December 31, 2013. You're invited by the way. Just bring enough sunscreen, because I here that Houston Texas is warm that time of year. That's our "Cinderella Castle"
