Wow,

 

 

Well to be honest, you can tell President Robinson that the last thing a missionary wants on his last P-day is to be asked to speak in stake conference, It doesn't make him want to come home very much haha!!!

Mom Ill for sure search you out a lap blanket no doubt, and as for garments, im a 32 waste and you can get the 50 50 stuff and for shirts medium will work perfect! And as for other clothes some T's and some Polos will be chill i'm not to bothered i know you have good taste! haha :) And as for tanning you better get me an appointment for day one when i get home so i can hit it up haha :)

As for classes i don't know if you want me to sign up now like before i get home or when i get home, but im assuming when i get home haha and if i'm wrong you might wanna go ahead and sign me up for a few things??

 

I can't believe the time has gone by this fast seriously its the craziest thing, these last 6 weeks have seemed like days, and some quick days at that!! I wanna just thank you all so much, this journey, this adventure..... It has been the greatest thing that has ever happened to me!! And it wouldn't have been as good as a ride with out my family behind me the whole time!! I have spent alot of time over the last 2 days pondering on my mission, and the miracles and the blessings and the changes it has brought to my life, and as i think about it the only thing that comes to my mind is if i personaly trust in my saviour Jesus Christ and give it all to him then I need not fear!! Whatever happens in life if i just Lean on him i will see success, I will be happy, and i will return to live with him and my family in never ending happiness!!! My testimony feels at this point that it cannot be shaken, whatever is said or done i feel like it doesn't effect me in a bad way, to be honest it only makes me stronger and bettter!! It strengthens my testimony!! The Saviour Jesus Christ did walk this earth he did do many miracles and most important he did sacrafice himself for ME!!!!! God is my loving Heavanly Father he cares for me, he answers prayers and he has a plan for each and every one of us!! Joseph Smith that young 14 year old with out a shadow of a doubt did step into the grove of trees on that spring morning and he did see God the Father and Jesus Christ they did speak to him and the gospel was restored!!! We are now apart of his truth and as we live accordingly, we will be happy for the eternities!!!

All of this and more is what I have to come to know on my mission and it has changed my life!!!

 

I love you family, you are a big strength to me!!

Hey hey familay :)

 

 

 

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Thats all that is going through my mind!! I can't believe I only have 1 email left before i'll be speaking to you in person!! My mind is running a million miles an hour!! I'm scared, i'm excited, i'm nervous, i'm happy, i'm sad, my mind is just gone haha!!! But thanks for the pics this week they made me smile I miss my nephews and nieces I can't wait to see them again!!!

I haven't gotten my itenirary yet madre, but maybe you could email President Ogden and check it all out because its only my 3rd plane ride and i'm still confused on how it all works haha!! I can't believe i'll be landing in cedar, that must mean i gotta go all by myself, my boys will be leaving me and slc huh?? That means more time to just think ahhh not good haha!!! I can't believe this is all happening, what happened to my 2 years?? Its just gone!!! As for what do i want to do for food hmmmmm?? well ummmmm I sure do miss just a nice meal from the madre thats for sure so i think that'll be chill just get me home and let me taste the best food ever!! haha plus i'm gonna be so tired there is no way i'm gonna be able to sleep on that plane!! 

 

Anyways so about the week!! Wow it was a good week, the Lord is just putting prepared people in our paths I don't know what it is!! We are teaching about 10 people who are progressing well and 6 have a date to be baptized!!!!!! I Wanna stay another transfer because i know if i did i would be able to see all these people enter the water but E. Love says he will hit me with the pics!!! Miracles are happening and everytime i even think to take a little break because i'm tired and i think its almost over my head keeps telling me, Preach My Gospel pg. 121 Diligence, Diligence is working hard even when you are tired!!!!! Hahaha I feel so bad if i stop for a second my mind just runs and runs and runs haha it kinda is a little annoying but it keeps me working and when i work i'm happy!!! So the spirit won't let me quit either he knows i gotta endure to the end but i love it!!! I never thought it would be hard at the end but wow is it!!! But i won't quit, I can't quit haha!!!!

So i had the opportunity to speak in one of the wards this week it was good!! my topic was on free agency!! I got a call saturday at about 9;00 at night and the bishop said Elder Davidson someone just backed out of speaking for tomorrow can you do it for us haha so i kind of just winged it and it went good i really enjoyed speaking!! I have learnt that you must always be prepared as a missionary, you can never say no!!! So technically i don't have any free agency hahaha jk jk!! It was a great opportunity!!

Family I really can't believe how fast these 2 years went by, its ridiculous it really is!! even now i'm checking my watch constantly to try and slow down the days but its not working time is just gone!! I love my mission!!!! It is the best decision of my life!!!!!! and i'll never forget it!!!

 

I love you!!

Hey Hey Hey,

 

 

So Happy Birthday T-money!! I HOPE you beat dad at golf on monday!! we gotta start off right because when i get home i will be the one dominating on the golf course haha!! I'm not getting any of hydi's emails mom, I don't know what is going down but i haven't got any of hers for sometime. 

 

Tesco's was the best, thanks so much mom!!! The Barbecue was poppin, thats all I can say!! It was so much fun just a good ol partyin it up!!! Just like home, except we have to cook the burgers on like these tin foil barbecues ha so that was pretty ghetto but it was sweet! Thanks for doing that madre!! Anyways no I only recieved one order of Tesco's?? it might have been because of all the times i had to call and reschedule them to deliver it but i did only get one order!!

 

My birthday was quite the experience though i must admit haha not your typical birthday i would have to say but it was good, so what happened was at Zone Conference i was like taking pictures with some of my old companions and just other kids and what not, and some how a bee climbed up my trousers and BAM it stung me right on the calf, and I didn't know what it was so i pulled up my trousers to see what had just stung me and i just moved the bee up a little bit further and BAM he stung me again ha and it ended up stinging my 3 times in total!! So this was on the friday and then on the saturday, it was super sore but i decided i still wanted to go for a jog for morning excercise and I came back home and pulled off my socks and my calf was about triple the size it should have been! It was Huge!!! so i didn't know what to do with it so i called sister ogden and she told me what to get to calm it down and what not, but luckily i had told my recent convert about getting stung the day it happened and for my birthday he bought me sting relief stuff haha he is the man so i put it on and well it calmed down after a couple of days haha but it was huge and a little bit painful!!! So that was my Birthday experience this year haha!!

 

But The week has been a good one, we just spent so much time traveling this week it felt like i did no work in my own area and it is alot more draining to sit in a car then it is to be doing to Lords work!! It was hard!! We went on wednesday to birmingham because we had to run a missionary to the hospital down there, we then went on thursday and friday for zone leader council and zone conference so the week was just over with and we had no time to search for new people, but i did learn alot from z.c. and z.l. council which was good!! We had Elder Kopiske come to zone conference and wow, he was amazing let me just tell you, he doesn't plan anything at all!!!! He just told us right off the bat, i'm going to let the spirit direct this meeting.... And then he just started talking and doing things it was amazing, General Authorities know there stuff, every question that was asked he answered with a scripture just crazy I loved it!! Zone Leader Council was the best i would have to say though, we just had the time to sit and chat about the concerns in the zone and how he has overcome them, and how we can become better leaders!! So it was intense i really enjoyed it!! So all in all it was a good week!!!

 

The Lord is taking care of me out here!! He is blessing this wolverhampton area and miracles are happening!! I love my Mission!! and I love the Lord!!
