June 29th, 2010 (4 weeks to go)

Hey Family,

 

Well well sounds like things are going to be popping on my b day huh? finishing the basement that sounds like a blast!! Question though Madre, can you go do the orientation or do i need to?? If I need to do it over the internet i'll have to get permission from President Ogden but i'm sure he wouldn't have a problem with it!! But just let me know what needs to happen, and if you can some of the classes moss will be taking so i can sign up for some of those as well!!

 

Elder Nylund is the Man!!! Ha he is just the best i love that kid, the first exchange we had together we were laying in our beds and he said wait aren't you from beaver, i know someone from beaver ha, anyone that knows someone from that little town is surely gonna be my boy haha!!!

 

Thanks mom for the info, I should be able to find some of the stuff, England got beaten out of the world cup on sunday so me and my comp are hoping we could find some sweet deals on England jerseys so hopefully it'll be an easy thing to do! But i'll get on it!! What about you Madre and Papa any preferences on what you would like hmmmmm?? :)

 

Anyways so this week was a good week, man it just flew by i don't know where the time went i swear it was yesterday i was sittin on this computer typing you an email!! Time just needs to Chilll for a bit!!! Things down here are going well though it just doesn't seem like we have anytime in our own area to find new people to teach we are just always on the road helping the other teams but it is a blessing to get to work with so many different missionaries and get to learn from them!! I'm just enjoying the journey!!! We do have a couple people in our own area who are preparing for baptism on the 16th so we just gotta hold on to those! This weekend at church was pretty sweet though, we had stake conference and wow it was an amazing on, Elder Kerr of the area 70 came down to speak and man is he powerful, he was just banging the pulpit (mind the spelling haha) and just yelling into the microphone his testimony!! Inviting all those who weren't members of the church or those who are thinking about leaving the church to hop in the gospel, to get baptized and to read the book of mormon, to pray about it and find the truth!!! Let me just tell you I loved it!!!! I was on the edge of my seat just listening as closely as possible, taking notes!! I just kept looking at my comp like did you just hear that, is this really happening hahaha I loved it!!! Elder Kerr is the man!! This week should be good as well because at zone conference we have Elder Kopiske coming and he is the Area president over the whole UK and he is going to be instructing us and so i'm stoke to be able to learn from him this weekend!!

The time is going by way to fast but i am going to take advantage of every second i have!!

 

I hope you all know that I love you!! And am so greatful for you!! I couldn't do this with out you!!

June 22nd, 2010 (5 more weeks)

Hey Family!!

 

 

First off i must say that Dad i'm sorry no matter how many times you change that swing of yours, your never gonna be able to hit the ball as far as your boys, your time is up its time for Elder Davidson and T-money to dominate now haha you have embarrased us for to many years haha!!! :)

 

So glad to see Moss is on the go with getting that stuff sorted with the flat make sure him and t-money pick a nice place haha!! Maybe you should go with them mom :) Tell Moss whats up!!! He needs to hit me up and tell me what is going down in b-town so i can be prepared haha!!

 

This week is good, Elder Love is the man!! No need to train him he already has it all sorted, He is just Happy, He helps me to excercise hard in the morning so i can loose some weight haha he is Diligent, and has the spirit, and best of all he talks to everyone, so the work is progressing well!! It'll be a sweet transfer i'm stoked!! But the week was way good, we found this wonderful lady that we haven't been able to get ahold of for a while and she just related to us about this dream she had and how she new the book of mormon was the word of God, and we didn't really even have to invite her to be baptized she pretty much volunteered to ha so it was amazing!! She came to church on sunday and just loved it!! The Lord is just preparing people for us it seems!! We just gotta keep working so that we deserve all these blessings!! But other then that nothing else has really happened ha, The week just flew by and i don't know where the days went!!

 

So a question though, what kind of souveners does everyone want haha, i thought this would be easy but really its not! Especially not for the sisters!! So madre some ideas would be sweet if you could?? for like Dad and the brothers i think i got it sorted but i don't really know about the rest!!!

 

Your the best family I love you!

Hey Da Fam :)

 

How goes it?? So i'm gonna tell you right now mom after last weeks email when you said i could go buy souveniers, I went and bought stuff for all the nephews, and nieces haha so i'll have some good stuff for them when i get home!

 

So things down here are just the best!! Me and Elder Olson had a fun week last week ha its crazy over here in england because of the World Cup, everyone wants England to win and go far!! Everyone has all there English gear out and just sporting it everywhere they go, Flags everywhere just CRAZY! But its good because there is some sweet gear that will be some good stuff to bring home for the fam so its good!! But because the football is so intense we weren't aloud out on saturday after 6:00 P.M. and let me just tell you never in my life have i been so bored haha!! we got so bore that we took some extra matresses and went and chilled out on the roof for an hour, and then i just through this crazy concoction of food after and just made the craziest dinner ever with the 2 other hours we had to do nothing hahaha it was good fun!! but ummm Mom we might need another Tesco Delivery because i through everything in haha!! Anyways the week was good, my comp is on the plane and probably home by now, and i got a sweet new companion! I got called to Train a new Zone Leader and his name is Elder LOVE haha thats right Elder Love he is the man!! He was a district Leader when i was in Leicester so we are already pals, its gonna be a good transfer i can already feel it, He is a Diligent missionary that just wants to work so i'm excited to go to work with him!! Crazy thing is, is his buddy served in the same mission as Elder Noel and I even think they lived together in the same flat man its such a small world ha I love it!! Noel is home now ya?? Have you seen him?? Anyways Its gonna be a sweet 6 weeks i'm so stoked, we have a sweet zone so we have high hopes for the success in the Zone as well so everything is lined out we just gotta go to work!!! And now is the time, i'm afraid at how fast this transfer is going to go but I can't even think about it i just gotta go!!

 

Family I love you!! I thank you for all the Love and support and I pray for you everynight and Thank my heavanly father for the chance i have to be in such an amazing family!! Always Keep on Trucking :)

June 8th, 2010 (7 weeks to go)

Hey,

 

Happy Happy Birthday Ethan my man ha!! Don't worry mom i'm looking for presents for everyone to bring home so they can all have a little taste of England :) I haven't got a new suit yet madre, i have looked a little but haven't seen anything that strikes my eye, but im still looking!

 

Ahhhh Times flying by!! I can't believe this is going to be the last transfer of my mission my days its just gone, Next week I will find out if i will finish my mission in Wolverhampton or somewhere else, but seeing how my companion goes home next week i'm pretty sure that i will be here unless they white wash us but hey you never know!!

 

This week was a blessing from on high!! Except for the fact that i rolled both my ankles while we were playing basketball with some investigators haha but don't you worry even with my 2 bad ankles me and my comp still managed to dominate haha (English people aren't very good at basketball haha) But anyways.... We had some amazing baptisms that took place and if only i had my camera with me right now i would send you some pictures of it ha but sure enough i still am forgetful that is one thing that i have never changed on my mission haha!! President Ogden was there with his Wife and they took some pictures so i'm sure you will be able to find them on there blog!! But man it was the best!! All of the people that got baptized this weekend were just blessings and miracles I absolutely loved it!!

 

I'm super impressed with my companion, he hasn't stopped for one second to think about home so it is good i'm glad i don't have to excite him to do the work he is already just a work horse so we are just killing it together, its so fun!! Next transfer is going to be the same I just gotta work work work so that i don't even think about the end, because i don't want it to end i love it to much!!! The lessons i learn each day, the people i meet, the opportunites i have to serve, nothing can beat this and I am greatful for the opportunity that i have to be a missionary for Jesus Christ :)

 

I love you family thank you for all your support!! I wouldn't be able to make this journey without you!!

Note from Jamie:

Today we received Elder Davidson's travel Plans, he will be returning home July 28th, 2010.  We are so excited!!! These 2 years have flown by and I know that I am so grateful for Elder Davidson's example.

So now we are on the countdown, only 8 weeks until he is home.

June 1st, 2010

Dear Family :)

 

Thank you so much for the Tesco's mom it did arrive and it was well good ha, i missed it the first 2 times by like 7 minutes both times so sorry if you have a charge! But I did get more then 1 apple so thank you :) 

 

Tell Carlie that she needs not worry when i get home we will be rocking the town haha i'll take care of you even though your still thinking of cleaning up bed pans hahaha i won't tell anyone that until after the 2nd date :)

 

Anyways this week was good, we have 3 baptisms for this saturday so it should be an amazing week in white!! I'm stoked!!! some beautiful people we have an african lady a chap from india and and english guy haha so its going to be an amazing day!! I love the Lord!!!! He has just been taking care of this area and blessing the wolverhampton branch!! He really wants it to be a ward and i can see that!! So i'm excited to be here at this point in time!!! This week haha it was the best i went on a exchange and got on a bike again and i promise you i am still sattle sore and it has been a week haha this bike was no ordinary bike it was straight from the devil haha the chain kept falling off it would not shift gears haha it was so brutal the tires kept going flat, and on top of that it was pouring rain and i didn't even have a jacket haha it is a good thing my mission has taught me patience because i just smiled and took it haha it was the best!!! The best part was was we had interviews with president the next day and my suite was all dirty because of the bike and my shirt wasn't so white anymore that i thought he might think i wasn't worthy or something haha but luckily he didn't notice even though the rest of the zone did :) But things are going good me and Elder Olson are just having a blast, its sad to know that he is going home soon, just 2 weeks i can't believe it but all is well!!!

 

Family I love you, thanks for all you do!!!

Hey Hey Hey

 

 

Wow Dad what are you doing hmmmm?? You know you gotta hop on those things quick like!! He always does that haha just kiddin just kiddin!! Your right you know i can't be havin a babe magnet truck haha not a good thing!!

 

wooooeeeeeeee good for Carlie good to hear she got a job thats the best, and plus when i get home you know i'm going to need to get rid of all these tan lines, it was meant to be :)

 

Tyler is getting Laid off?? is the store closing down? or whats going on??

 

Before I forget Tescos hmmmm well That stuff you orderd last time was good, except like umm you only sent one bananna?? and one apple?? so that could change haha!! But some Chips and Salsa would be good this time, Some Dr. Pepper :) oh instead of just the beef burgers umm pasta and spicy tomato and pepperoni sauce would be nice!! I love that stuff, but as for everything else you can suprise me!! and for the best day ummmm probably wednesday, friday, or saturday night after about 9:15 pm would be the good days!!

 

Anyways this week, well it was a good week!! Time is flying by I can't believe its week 3 and my comp leaves in 2 weeks time Crazy!!  Once again the Lord has blessed us here in wolverhampton, I truly do love this area and I love being able to recognize that all these blessings are coming from the Lord!!! This week especially though we saw that service brings fourth blessings, We did alot of service this week, one lady we mowed her lawn, another we built a shed and another we tore up grass and layed some stuff down and well it seemed like that was where all our time was spent, so i kinda was getting a little flustered because i wanted to be out talking to people, but I did love the service while we were doing it, ( I loved getting out of my shirt and tie :) ) But then it was weird because on of the ladys that saw us doing the service just walked into church on Sunday and asked us if we could come and teach her so the Lord blessed us, and  I love doing service!!

 

This work is amazing and the days are flying by to quick but i LOVE being here and I'm going to make every second last!! I love you family!!!
