4th transfer 6th week

Well, mom wanted a pic of my bed, so here it is.

 This is a bee we saw at the temple, it is sooooo big!  Like as big as my thumb, its true, everything is bigger in texas!

 We were doing service for a family who is moving, so we are cleaning up their yard, and doing some landscaping. These two turtles were found, way cool.

This video was taken last night after dinner, Elder schoffield threw up everywhere!  Then I went and got my camera, this is in their apartment.

It was a good week, I hope everyone is doing well!  If there is anything I can pray for that you need, just ask, but thats about all I can do for ya'll!

Take care

4th transfer 5th week

1. How was the move?

Smooth, the new appartment is alot better, just cleaner, but the same exact set up.

2. What's your next big thing you're looking forward too?

Umm, transfers, I think I will be leaving not this thursday but next, so like 10 days.  but maybe not, other than that, no one is getting baptized this Sunday, so just the same, teaching, getting people to church that whole thing.

Oh someone we used to teach but got moved to the singles ward is getting baptized and i am playing a duet with a sister missionary, and maybe singing too. We are playing come thou fount.

3. What will you do for the Fourth of July?

We are having a ward pancake party in the morning, like home, then maybe service. Then a BBQ with some missionaries and a RC.

4. What was your favorite meal this week?

hmm, last night, this Investigator who is the father of a member family so PM, has worked at alot of restraunts is such a good cook. He made a spinach salad with avocados, a fruit salsa of straberries, mangos, and blueberries.  with some pork with a special sauce, so good.

5.  What happened this week that you thought ah ha! Or I didn't know that.

hmm...I can't think of anything right now.

6. How is the teaching pool?

Good, did the rounds this week, taught a bunch of people, but mostly did lots of service.

7. What other religions are big in your area?

Baptist, Catholics, and none (meaning lots of people think its a personal thing and don't claim a chruch)

8. How is the heat?

Not bad, better than home actually, the humitity actually helps, it cools you down. It's just a little gross to be wet all the time, but i don't miss dry heat at all.

9. What's new?

a LAPM took us to costco (all four of us elders that serve in spring branch ward, and took us down every row (almost every), and told us to get things and not to share "today is not sharing day!", so we piled stuff in, and got to the front and it turned out to be $608, but she got a few things that was probably like $100 or less.  so she threw down like $130 for each of us.  pretty crazy, we have no room in our fridge, freezer or cupboards.

10. How are your clothes holding up?

Pretty good, I might get new clothes at like my year mark, depending on how this next 6 months goes.  I'm hoping I can keep them clean and not need to spend any more money on new ones though.

We think and pray for you. 

 

thank you, and ya'll too, in my night and morning prayers.

 

Love you too!

4th transfer, 4th week

Hey Everyone,

        Another week has passed us by, warnings for next week, I am moving appartments this Tuesday to thursday, same complex  mail anything to the mission office. (as on the blog)

  Okay, so last Monday we had dinner with this family, that was really fun to talk to.  Then Tuesday we taught a bunch of lessons, 7 total, 2 member presents, 3 others, and 2 member lessons.  They all went well, and had a honduran dish for dinner, something like balialtes.  Wednesday we did service for laurel Lund, had lunch, taught a few people, then had dinner with a LA and a RC (Austin who we just baptized a few weeks ago), awesome dinner i liked the food, and the conversasion was awesome.  

Thursday we basicly did nothing, we had interviews with the President, which we do every other transfer, and then went to dinner after and it took all night.  and in the morning we did mormon.org.  Friday was a good day, had distric meeting, taught a few lessons after, then did more service for laurel lunds, then saturday we did three things, more service for laurel lunds 8am to 1pm, then picked up austin the RC for basketball, then took him home, showered, ate, then got picked up by a member, picked up Austin too, then went to a fireside that Steve Hayes and Thurl Bailey. 

 They are former NBA players Steve Hayes was a Mormon all his life, and grew to be 7 foot tall! Thurl Bailey's story was awesome!  He converted early in his marriage to a Mormon. It was an awesome story, when he was 13 he was 6'3'', then during the summer he grew 4 inches so at 14 he was 6'7'', then the next year he grew 2 more! so he was 6'9'' in 9th grade, then by the time he was in the NBA he was 6'11''.  They were soooo tall!  We happened to park right next to them, and they got out, we got out and talked to them for a little bit, and our RC Austin went up to Thurl Bailey, (Austin is black, and so is Thurl Bailey), and Thurl Bailey turned to him, grabbed his hand, and brought him real close, looked down at him and said, "you want to play one on one", Austin couldn't say anything, it was so funny.

 Then Sunday Tommy came to church, he gave up smoking for good, on Tuesday this week we took his pack of cigarettes, and he hasn't smoked since, now to get him off beer...much harder challange.  anyway, had church, then a baptism, the other Elders in our ward baptized a family of 6, it was so cool!  We taught someone, had dinner, tracked, taught an awesome lesson with a RC/LA and a few other people there, and ya, thats about my week...
