Things are challenging but that just means I'm going to grow some more. Feeling good. Just got a new companion named Elder Case. Still in Chandler didn't move. Elder Lee was called as a Zone leader and went to Tempe. I already know Elder Case and I are going to have tons of fun! And get work done of course. =) Why isn't Courtney going? Too unsafe? I don't know whats going on because I don't watch the news or read about it. I only hear stuff through members.
I picked up that package at the mission home today when I went there for transfers! Thank you! So you found the helmet? The pillow protector was in it. The helmet I have now is pretty good but the one at home is better. When this one wears out you can send me that one. Thank you for the picture book its perfect! Thank you Lauren for the small one. I have a perfect use for both of them. Now you just need to send me pictures of you guys so I can fill it up. I don't have a picture of Zach =( I haven't got the chance to read all of the letters yet transfers was crazy then we dropped off Elder Cases luggage then headed straight to the library to email. I can't wait to read them. I saw that there was one from Rennie and Connor!!! I'm so excited to read that! Then Lauren wrote me 2. Then I got one from you and dad. Good day. Change is good then you throw a big package in there and it made the day so awesome. Then its also p-day so thats good. Our P-day is actually switching to Mondays starting this week. So just FYI and we will have another P-day on the 25th. Two in one week! Not sure if we will email that day but most likely will. Easter Pageant was amazing! So many people. We went there last Thursday. We went around talked to people and asked for referrals. Got two of our investigators to go with us this week. So I will get to see it 2 more times. Its about a 15 minute drive from where I live so not too far.
Don't know who's house we could go to for mothers day yet because I'm not sure who has web cameras or not. I will start looking around and try to figure that out. You didn't tell me but Grandma did. Thats to bad but yes he is in a better place. Its only been three months? Yeah it does seem like a while ago. Have you worked that all out yet?
Yeah its getting hot. I'm getting a little bit more use to it but they say its nice out when its 90 or 95 out. I guess it would be if it was 115 for a few months straight. I should be fine though. Drinking a ton of water and sweating it all out. I will have to take a picture so you can see how much I have been sweating. Oh just to answer your email from last week about wearing garments. I haven't taken them off except to shower. I even wear them when I'm playing basketball and haven't got hurt playing yet. I don't plan on taking them off. I like wearing them. Although they do ride up when I ride my bike but what can you do. On average we ride about 20 miles a day. The farthest I have road in one day was 34 miles. Burns off those extra calories which is good. We have the largest biking area in our mission. Elder Case has been in a car the last 6 months of his mission so I will have to whip him into shape. Riding my bike is so easy now that its basically just like sitting down all day in a car. I will have to start working out in the morning. I can feel myself getting out of shape its gross. Its going to be really hard to not get fat. But I can do it. I will not let it happen!
There is 123 in my account right now is that including the 100 you said you would put in it? I'm trying my best to just use the money I have on my card here and not use that money. Elder Lee had a SD to usb converter that I used to upload my pictures so I will have to buy one of those at Walmart today and I will need a bin to carry my bedding in for next time I move. But besides that I will do my best to budget myself on the 115 dollars I get every month.
Shane put in his papers?!?!?! YES!!! Then Connor is getting them in soon?! Thats SOOOOOOO awesome! Kyle turned his in too correct? I'm so proud of all of them. Still praying every night for them. Oh man that makes me so happy that they are all going on their missions. So happy!
Thats an awesome quote. I feel like I have grown some so far on my mission but in one of our Zone Conferences they told us that its hard to see how much we have grow spiritually, but we will and have so much. Elder Case was like are you sure your a Greenie? Your second companion is called your breaker. He is my breaker and he was like are you sure your a greenie? (Greenie normally means you have been on your mission for less then 6 months.) I was like, yep! He said I don't seem like one. I said that I could be less confident and become like a greenie if he wanted me too. So I guess I have come a long way. Thanks to Elder Lee. I was pushed in everything I did with him. Learned a ton! Way good trainer and guy. It was way good to have Elder Lee as my companion/trainer. He is exactly what I needed in a trainer. I have learned so much and look forward to learning more with Elder Case. So far he seems like a pretty cool guy. Transfers are inspired. Our investigators are progressing. Some slower then others but still progressing. Elder Lee and I decided that would needed to drop several people so we did before the transfer, but that means Elder Case and I will have to go get some more gators to teach. Still working on Naoko praying and getting Jeremy to pray about baptism. Personal study and District meetings have helped me so much in that I get answers to my questions about what I should do and not do with my investigators. Going to continue to work my hardest. Love you!
