Hey Heidi,

 

IM doing well. We had a baptism this last Tuesday! Then I confirmed her a member yesturday. She has been taking the lessons from the misisonaries for about five years! hahaha then I come along from out of nowhere and baptize her. There were alot of missionaries that had taught this lady and when I told them they were all excited. Strange how the lord works sometimes, but hey. Im not questioning. Also another miracle happened this week. This man that I had found wants to be baptized as well. He said 8 months prior he felt that he had come to the end about knowing all about Christ then we show up and talk to him. Hes way excited. So we will have maybe another three baptisms this month? So we are working hard. we just got our transfer instructions today and we are both staying till almost christmas. I guess they like us here..........So anyway I gotta tell you a story that happened to me awhile back. So we were tracting and we come to this house. This family lets us in and they listen to us. After the lesson the mom turns to her 10yr old son and says. maybe they can help. I was like, " With what?" then they told me he had been seeing like demons and blood on the walls and everything. So we gave the house and the boy a blessing. I did both the blessings. So The minute we leave and I exit the house. I loose all my strength. ALL of it. I was just very weak. That was really the first time I had really excesized my preisthood. and when you do that. You get tired....fast. So yeah it was cool. Then when we went back they said it had gotten a little better, but he was still seeing stuff. so I hope all is well with them. So yeah nothing much more then that from me. Love you guys. I hope all of you are safe. Also im really not suprised by cameron dressign up as Joe Dirt.......kind of I ronic dont you think....cause im in the south....oh well tell the girls I love them!

Hey,

 

I got the shoes. Thanks :) Everything is good hear. Nothing really to report as far as tracting. We are working with a few people to bring thm closer to christ through baptism though. we found this sweet family that I think will be awesome if they join. This week has been good. My life really isnt that exciting. Sorry to say. So when something happens ya'll will be the first to know! haha anyway. Where I live  we have a pond. ( Yes I tried fishing it. It didnt work) So last P-day I tried to "Part" it like moses. I guess I still need to gain more faith, but hey lets be honest. Moses cheated. He had a staff imbued with power from on high. I just had a bamboo stick and slapped it in the water. I feel my efforts were more then what moses did, but hey if that is what god called him too do......I yeild. hahaha. Its getting cold here. Im freezing my butt off. haha and on top of that it rained.......boo. Love you !

Heidi,

 

hahaha im not mad. Just giving you a hard time. So anyway im doing fine. Im just working my butt off you know? Missionary work is hard. Did you know that? haha BECAUSE I DIDNT! Oh well. if it wasnt hard it wouldnt be worth it. Right? because salvation isnt cheap right? hahaha yeah I heard about trevor and all that. I'd rather not go into it. hahaha anyway im just working hard and taking names....literally. If I didnt I wouldnt have anyone to teach. but im doing fine. Just......working. I swear about the only thing ill be good at when I get home is telling people about the gospel....and halo. Did you know the new halo game is coming out on moms death date? weird. It will help though. I realized that, that day was coming up. (not meaing for a hurtful reminder or nothing) it slipped my mind though. hahaha anyway. I'm doing fine, but thank you. I know the shoes are coming so no worries. hahaha did you like the comment I made on the blog? babhahahaha it was swell.......anyways give the girls my love and tell Kairi I got her a present. It will take me awhile to get it to her so tell her sorry for me. I love you guys.

All is well here. Ive just been stressed cause satan has been working with my investigators....and me. It seems liek he has made me public enemy number one out here latley. I dont know why. Then im district leader and so I have those responsiblitys on top of that. So im just a little overwhelmed. haha a mission will definatly test your metal. thats for sure. His name is Tyler Gebert. Thats who he is. his dad teaches like seminary of something.So thats the skinny on him. love you guys. Tell dave Hey for me. OH yes I got your package. Thanks! it was delicious.

HEIDI! IM HERE!

Shaun is moving in huh? Ive heard that Levi has been giving her trouble. Maybe shaun can help. I should write him but I need Tenilles address. (her new one.) also Do you have Daves new address. You mooks keep moving on me! hahaha rad! your getting braces! . Ok so here is the short story. A companion ship wasnt getting along. and one thing led to another so THey needed to be transfered. The ward here was all upset and called president and he said he would send one of his best.......so I came here. I think he just put a bunch of names in a hat and drew me out of luck so.....im here trying to smooth things over with the ward. I love them especially the ward mission leader. He is 26 and is the man. He looks like Nick Schwartzen from benchwarmers ( Howie) its awesome so thats kinda whats going on.

Hey Heidi.

Im just letting you know im doing fine. I got emergency transfered. to mississippi. Not because of anything I did. haha I want you to know that. But It needed to happen. So im where im suppose to be. just letting you know That I did get your package in gardendale.....So hopefully they can foreward that to me. im hoping. Elder Paulson said he didnt have any money, but that he would figure out a way. So im hoping. thanks for everything you do Heidi!
