"Slow Beginnings"

Hello Family and Friends,                            10/29/12

         Man, what a crazy week it has been. Sorry for the wimpy e-mail last time.  The computer was a piece of work, but this week it was good. Transfers went smoothly.  Well, I better start with “Missionary weekly”.

Missionary Weekly

          Welcome to “Missionary Weekly” where we check out the Cougars on Campus.... I mean Missionaries in the Field. Today, we see how the transfers brought little change and how the preparation for Sister F's Baptism is coming along.  We will also see how Halloween is for Missionaries.  What are the plans for this year’s celebration?  Read all this and more on “Missionary Weekly”.

          Transfer Report: So Not much has happened in the District, only we have a new sister missionary, which I served with in the Auburn Zone (Nevada City). Her name is Sister Lovelund.  My Comp is no longer District Leader.  One of the other Elders is now District Leader.  Elder Miller was a little depressed, but he is now getting over it.  He is now doing well and is “Kick Butt” awesome.

         Slow Beginning: Yeah, that pretty much says it all, “slow beginning”. Week one has always been the slowest week of each transfer on my Mission. Sister F is still doing well and we have a lesson with her tomorrow.  The other two are coming along, as well, but I don't think they'll be able to be baptized by November 10^th.  We will have to move their dates.

         Hair troubles?: For some reason my comp thought it would be cool to bleach his already blonde hair, more blonde.  So... yeah, we fixed it and he's looking better now.  Ha, ha, ha.

         That's it for all the “Missionary Weekly”!!!!

 Now, to the GREAT Q & A CORNER!!!!

Q1.   How are you and Elder Miller doing?  Are you teaching lots of lessons?  How are your investigators doing?  I hope all is on track for Baptisms on the 10th of this month.  Be sure to take a few pictures for your scrapbook.

A1.  We are doing well.   It was a slow start, but we are moving forward. Our investigators are doing well and progressing.  Will do!!!  I promise to take some pictures.

Q2.   Are you still in a car?  Have you been tracting?  Dad wants to know if you have found any new investigators thru tracting?  Does your ward members help with referrals?  Have you created any activities that would bring you in contact with new investigators?

A2.  Yeah, I hope we keep the car. lol.  We don’t do a lot of tracting. Not in this area yet.  Our ward helps a little, but not a whole lot of referrals.  We do “Sing Tracting”, where we sing a hymn while we are at the doorstep.

Q3.   Now, for your favorite questions.  What was the best part of this past week?  What was the most challenging part of this past week?  What was the funniest part of this past week?  What motivated you the most this past week?

A3. The best part of the week would be the dinner we had last night.  It was a “Ghoulish” dinner. ha ha ha. The challenge would be finding the actual drive to do stuff.  I think Miller's Hair troubles were the funniest part of the week. ha ha ha. Just reading out of the scriptures is my motivation.

Q4.   Did you get the "Halloween Package" yet?  We mailed it on Thursday.  Do you have any requests?  Did you get a letter from the Bishop?  He called to get your address a while back.  

A4. Not yet, might get it today!!! Mom you know me, what do I request each time? Music... Yeah I did get a letter from Bishop Gerrard. I was planning on writing him back soon.

Q5.    I got a letter from Evonne Guzzle this week.  She is doing well.  She is going to ask for an extension.  She would come home in February but now she will come home in March or April.  Do you think you would ask for an extension if it were an option?  Are you enjoying your mission?  What has been your favorite area?

A5. Maybe. if I get to that point.  Maybe....Yeah, I really enjoy it a lot. Of course my favorite area is my "Birth" area, Chico 5th!!!

Q6.   President McCleave talked at a High Priest Social the other night.  He talked about why we should write in journals.  Are you writing in your journal?  It is not only for you but others who may need the same inspiration.  Martin may be inspired from your experiences and thoughts.  It won't be long till he is living the same experiences and facing the same decisions.

A6. I've been slacking big time on that I really need to do better.

         Well, that's it for this email.

 Love ya!!!
