Mission P-Day, Biking and Walking = A Sore Missionary :)

Dear Family and Friends!!

This week was on of the funniest weeks I have had in a long time.  I was on splits in one of the other areas in my district and they didn't have a car.  I have gotten so lazy because I have had a full time car most of my mission and that made Tuesday rough.  I walked 10 miles and I thought I was going to die ha-ha. 

Wednesday was so much fun!!!  We had our half mission P-Day and just got to have fun and play sports. It was crazy because the weather wasn't the best, it rained the whole time!!!  Football in the rain was so much fun though.  The amazing thing was no one got hurt ha-ha.  It was sweet we did other activities and one of them was a balloon toss.  Elder Felix and I got second and overall our district took second overall.  I was so sore!!!  I use to tease people like me that would get sore after one day of playing sports.  Now that is me ha-ha. 

So last week we had to take our car into the shop to get it fixed because some other missionaries backed into something so we got the opportunity to ride bikes.  I forgot how fun it is to ride a bike, it is awesome.  You get more opportunities to talk to different people that are on the sidewalks that you wouldn't if you were in a car. 

This week we had a way awesome lesson with one of our investigators that are going through a rough time.  She was telling us all that was going on in her life. It was awesome we talked to her how the Book of Mormon is the answer to all her problems and the spirit was so strong.  Every time we leave she is so thankful that we came because she can feel the spirit when we are there. Oh I almost forgot, we have transfer calls this Friday so I think I will be getting the boot.  So I will let you all know next week where I will be and hopefully my new address.  Love you all!!!! 

Love,

Beautiful South Haven

Dear Family and Friends!!

Well another week in beautifully South Haven!!!  The weather has really gotten nice and the town is starting to light up.  It was pretty fun on Saturday; we just personal contacted down town and got to talk to some cool people.  This week I got to stay in South Haven for the full week so that was nice to be at home for the full week.  I went on splits with an Elder that doesn't talk at all.  I tried to break him out of his shell a little bit but I failed; maybe better luck next time. 

One cool thing this week that I learned was when we were teaching one of our investigators.  They are going through a really hard time believing how much the gospel really blesses your life.  The scripture in D&C 82:10 just kept coming to mind about how God will bless us if we remember him.  The Gospel is such a blessing. It was awesome!

We have had a lot of opportunities to do service here.  On Thursday we got to help one of the members that is remodeling his house almost all day.  I forgot how much I like that kind of stuff.  I was just as happy as could be ha-ha.  This week is going to be awesome, because we are having our mission p-day on Wednesday.  It is sweet we have it once a year and we just have activities for most of the day.  I am way excited.  Well I love you all and thanks for all of your emails.

Last Mother's Day Call and Good Ole' Missionary Work

Dear Family and Friends!!!

Well I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day!!!  It was so great to talk to my family!!  It was crazy to think that it was my last phone call home being a missionary.  I had another great week!!  It was crazy so I actually got to go see my cousin this week, Amber and Chad.  They live in one of the other branches in my district.  It was funny, I was on splits there and I called up Amber and asked if I could come by and she offered us dinner. Double score; I got to meet my cousin and her family plus we got dinner.  It was good to see all of her kids.  That was the first time that I have met them before.  

We picked up a way cool new investigator this week.  We had an apt with another investigator and she said to come back in 15 min and when we returned she was gone so we decided to go door knocking and it was the second door we knocked on, another miracle that God gave us.  His name is Anthony and he is a Christian Rapper, he shared with us a couple of his sounds it was way sweet.  Well not to much more is new this week.  Love you all I will talk to you all next week.

Mission Humor

Dear Family and Friends!!!

Well anther great week in Michigan!!  It really has started to warm up here and it is so pretty here, I love it so much.  Everyday Elder Felix and I have been running to the beach and it is so awesome!! I feel like I am on vacation, well until I put my shirt and tie on and then I remember that I’m not ha-ha.

This week was a busy week, I was on splits from Monday till Thursday night so I didn't get to be with Elder Felix much this week, but everything went well.  One cool miracle that we had this week was that we were knocking a lot of apartments.  We had another appointment to get to but we had two doors left.  We decided to knock them anyways and the second to last door we got in and taught the Restoration to and the girl was way awesome.  We had to run to are next appointment because were late and that lesson went well.  After that Appointment we had 15 min till our next place so we thought we would go get that last door.  It turned out that we went to the wrong apartment complex that was right next to it, but the door we did knock on is letting us come back this week.  God Worked through me by getting mixed up with my numbers ha-ha.  

On Wednesday we had Zone Conference and it was pretty funny, for the missionaries that are going home they get to give a departing testimony and my mission president called me up.  So I had to get up in front of the Whole zone and talk to my mission president and had to tell him that I wasn't going home till August.  It was pretty funny. Well I can't wait till Mother’s day to call my family.  Just to let my family know I will be calling at 4:15 Utah time.  Love you all and talk to you soon.  

Love,
