Clanton

Heidi,

Yes im in Clanton! Companion is cool....he plays magic! Yeah I got a picture with Elders Kirk and Robinson.I went to school with those guys can you believe it? Now they are home....kind of green with envy in that respect, but not all at the very same time! No clanton is not as busy as Wetumpka was which is good. Makes me have to work harder to find, teach and baptize. Elder Kirk is doing fine. I actually saw him at our temple trip we had in April and we talked a little bit. We talked about us in high school and such and I gave me condoelences. He's doing really good though. Good! keep reading the BoM to them. Its important. You really should do a personal study on it yourself. I have and WOW so much in their. anyway. im doing well nothing much to report to tell you the truth. Missionary life styles are very rarely in many respects.....exciting. There are things that excite us....but they are in no way exciting. Get it? I hope it makes sense because it made sense in my head. LOL that would be funny if the guys at the shop have like a clock counting down to when I come home. I would wet my pants laughing. Tell them I miss them and i think about them all very much! im sorry about bruiser messing up the carpet. Things will get better with him as he grows. remember Pudgy? same principal really.....hahaha. Also Can you do something for me? I need a pillow....can you possibly mail mine to me? VAcum pack it or what ever I dont care. if you could that would be great if not? Dont worry about it. So yeah all is good in the hood up in here. Hope everyone is good their. I would just like to point out that as of yesturday....ive been out 5 months and am working on my 6 month period of service! time is fast and slow out here all at the very same time. Love you lots!

Letter

Heidi,

This week has been a fricken roller coaster lol. The first of the week I swear we got nothing done...sigh. but then the weekend came and all Hell broke loose. I swear! We got a call from a less active lady telling us that her power was going to be shut off and started crying on the phone. So I took it upon myself to try and help as much as possible. So I was stressing about that all week. We had president interview us this week and I was told that I was going to be here for like 6 months (total) so like 2 more months. I have a feeling that elder Reed will as well. Then Last week (weekend) I got into it with two people. ( a lady who thought that we are all saved by grace-Baptist) and ( a church of christ youth minister who thoguht it was foolish that my faith was souly on the grounds that I relied on JUST faith.) which come on its true and not true at teh same time. He was all telling me that god was a god of PROOF!....ok well if thats the case why do we even have the holy ghost? sigh. Then he went right for the pearl of great price and how it was fake just like the Book of mormon....yadda yadda yadda! Full of crap. I almost Falcon punched the guy. I vented my frustration to president. HE just told me that I should have left.( cause I couldnt feel the spirit) so that was a sign for me to leave. little fricker......got me all made for nothing. Then this week we got a super great new investigator. HE actually went on the Mormon.org page and read all about joseph smith and everything. He said he just felt good about it. also when he was in the military he went into a mormon service one time and felt good and at home. He said he hadnt felt that since. So he wants to become a member! Im going to ask him to be baptized next week because when we found him? he could tell me all about joseph smith and the priesthood keys and everything. So I think he's ready. We also have other investigators who we have asked to be baptized so....im just trying to keep up.lol to tell you the truth. There has been LOTS of success her in Wetumpka. I dont know why. i know its nothing I do LOL. Its all the Lord. ALSO! can you get me campbells address. I want to write him. lets see. im going to be mailing pictures and commentarie so the blog can be updated! YAAAY! also I 'll send my account info so you'll have it ok? lets see anything else......Nope not really. Except I hate you the you get to watch Dr. Who without me. We have this one investigator who has watched it since.......Tom Baker? yeah. So that was fun talking to him about it for a little bit. Yeah keep me posted on Dr. Who! lol also we were in this restraunt type deal. of course there are t.v's in there too. So im not watching any of it. Truth. and I hear the voice of temperance! I was like WHAT! took me back. LOL also ( this is funny) We were walking up to this one lady's door. and she was blasting music.....but I could recognize it. as Igot clser and closer I relized who it was and started singing Powerman 5000's When worlds Collide! lol THAT TOOK ME BACK! you should have seen the look on my companions face....." You know this song" lol " yeah!" also that girl who added me on facebook? alverez? yes add her. I know her. So All is well down here. Happy and tired.....lol which is what it should be I guess. Love you heiidi!
