Why Hello

Hey everyone thanks for all the support! THings are really picking up a lot of people are really progressing and changing their lives! Robert is getting baptised on the eleventh and Vincent a child of record got baptised by Elder Evans and i was a witness on this last saturday. Uwe received the priesthood on sunday and i dont know eerything is just doing so well. I love it here! The weather is hopefully going to cool down soon. Today we KILLED the old guys in softball it was a lot of fun and the the AP's and OA's came down and we played ball which was good. I couldn't be happier out here it seems like time just flies by! I hope everything is going well. We picked up some new people to teach and i found out two of my best friends down at dixie are Elder Jensen and Elder Asay's best friends too so its pretty crazy how small of a world it is. A lady at dinners sister lived in hamilton till she died, the name wasn't familiar though. Sorry this is short but ive just continued to work hard and have fun! I have really realized there is a plan for all of us. In the book of Jarom I think it says something to the effect of "What more do i have to write about if my fathers have talked about the Plan of Salvation" and it really is true, THere is a plan for all of us to be together forever and the plan has been around since before we were here on the earth! Its just so sweet. I have a great testimony of prayer and i know as we really wrestle with the lord like Alma talks about and pray to express are thnakfulness or gratitude or pray for forgiveness or really just express the desires of our hearts that we really will receive answers. I know This is God's work and his glory to bring to pass the imortality and eternal life of man and I know the work will continue to go forth. Your in my prayers. Love yall.

Another Week in the Work

Hey another good week we had stake conference and it was really good they had a lot of good speakers. We were able to get some new people to teach this week and one of them is really progressing. Robert is going to be baptised this month as well so thats good. This week we have seen a lot of crazy things and im jsut so grateful for the life i was able to have before my mission we are all so blessed. I have been able to progress a lot thus far with my knowledge of the scriptures and ive been focusing on some christ like attributes that i could focus on to become a better person so thats been pretty good. I feel ungrateful because i dont have a good lesson or a good story to tell but this week has just been hectic and i cant think of anything that really is just standing out. Ive been able to help a lot of people out and see a lot of change. I am so grateful for the mail i get and for all the support i have. There is nothing better than getting mail seriously! Anyways i love yall

Hey sorry yesterday was labor day aka no where to email. So Inow have no time to email but will give you some facts. Im staying in Hemet. I think i will till after christmas but dont know. I got to new roomates both named Elder Jensen. They replaced and Elder Jensen. Ive lived with every Elder Jensen! Uwe got confirmed. It was amazing and so spiritual. Im losing my hair. Im going to look like Rob. We are working hard and got another man that wants to be baptised. John Aun the chinese guy had basically disapeared for four weeks and then randomly showed up to church on sunday so cool! We keep running into people and they buy us food. Its a huge blessing. The weather has been hott but its nice. We went into 2 extra innings with the old guys, since it was labor day they had al their ringers which means we usually lose by 30. But we instead lost by two on a bad call so it was a good mental win. Even though it doesn't count inless the scoreboard shows it. I ran home on a triple to tie it up to go into extras. Our ward is awesome and very supportive. Hmmm thats whats new. The wedding reception looked sweet im sending my present for them today. Thanks for the letters i got this week ill send replys next monday. Because of transfers they held our mail from last wednesday till friday so all things i may get i wont get till saturday. Also because i sent some stuff out without stamps i wont get that back till them so those will be like two weeks later than when i sent them haha I hope all is well. Just trying to be obediant and diligent love yall
