We left off on Elder Morris's big ANNOUNCEMENT he might have forgot to tell to his family... and others last week...and the week before and the week before that... but why tell you now when I can tell you when I go to “Missionary Weekly”!!!!  First, YOU WENT TO CRACKLE BARREL... WITHOUT ME?!? NOOOOOOOOOoooooo... At least I have Panda Express out here. lol  Oh, and about the card and the check I did get it... but unfortunately I did lose the check, ......... (Sad face with a tear) ......... sorry? I can't believe you watched Disney Movies without me too... your supposed to put all that stuff in a cement box and bury it in the back yard with all my new games too ... lol  Don't forget to put a big stone on top of it then have someone appear to me to tell me what’s inside it and where to find it ... ok, that was a little blasphemous... sorry... well I better get to the “Peanut Butter and Jelly” part of the email... “MISSIONARY WEEKLY”!!!!! 

~Missionary Weekly~ 

Welcome to “Missionary Weekly” where we actually write on the other side of the email. Today, we are going to a Zone Meeting to learn more about what will happen in the coming week, and then we meet an important guest who will change the life of missionaries forever!!! All this and more on “Missionary Weekly”!!!!

March 5, 2013 - We had a very spiritual lesson this night. This past Sunday a member came and spoke to us about teaching his 12 yr old daughter who is a member, but needs help understanding some doctrine.  Elder Himmer and I decide to help out.  We went to their house and she had friend over, who is not a member, but wanted to sit in on the lesson.  We thought nothing of it and taught the Restoration to both of them.  The spirit was so strong there. We ask Tristan (the friend) if it was all right with his parents that he meets with us again, and at that moment he started to cry.  12 yr olds don't usually cry.... (Unless you are me).  He told us how his parent fight with each other and fight with him.  That night him and his mom were arguing and he ran outside upset.  That's when Sarah (the Daughter) found him and invited him to sit with us. From what he told us, it seems his family is very dysfunctional.  It is sad to see a 12 yr boy crying about this.  We are meeting him tomorrow with the some members and talking about the Plan of Salvation.

 March 6, 2013 – Today was a Zone Meeting.  We haven't had one of these since the Zone split.  Not much to say, just that we talked about... ummmmmm...wait I know this one...ummmmmm.... hmmmmm... I'll come back to it when I remember. lol  On a high note we had an awesome lesson with Victoria Hunt.  We watched part of the “Testament” with her and she loved it. 

 March 7, 2013 - Well we had another lesson with Rich.  I don't know about this guy, it’s hard to say what we should do about him because he is nice, but we are getting nowhere with him.  We had a lesson with him on the Priesthood and oh man it was the... (I don't know how to explain it) worst conversation, but we are trying our best with him.

 March 8, 2013 - Service day, we helped with a move that should have taken 2 hours, but it took half the day.  We also helped Papa T (Brother Titus) with some gardening. So, Yeah...

 March 9, 2013 – Ok, now for the good part of “Missionary Weekly”.  Elder Neal L. Anderson came to the California Roseville Mission along with Craig C. Christensen of the Presidency of the Seventy. Spiritual BOMB!!!!! The Spirit burned in me throughout the 2hr Meeting we had.  He talked about Mercy and merits of the Atonement. I have the notes in my journal at home. It was amazing!

 March 10, 2013 – Sunday, that one day... Well a sister in the ward spoke about her Conversion and it was awesome.... so awesome that it took the entire meeting to talk about it. 

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

 Now for Q & A CORNER!!!!!

Q1.   How was your Sabbath Day?  What was your personal message from Church?  What did you have for dinner?  What was the best part of your Sabbath Day?

A1. It was good. Conversion comes through time...Trereso!!!! Sacrament is the best part because it’s the most spiritual part of the day!!!!

Q2.   Do you have any pictures of your apartment?  We loved the pictures you sent of the river and flumes.  Is there a lake close to Paradise?  I thought I found one on Google.  What are some of your favorite recreation areas in paradise?  What is your favorite thing or place in Paradise?  Tell us something special about your district.

A2. I have a few of our apartment... yeah, there is a lake and I have pictures of that. The Hike is my favorite recreation activities. Kalico Kitchen is my favorite place!!!!  The district has all hard workers!!!!

Q3.    We got a letter from President Weston that he CC: to you.  It is all about what you do as a District Leader.  Does your district consist of 4 Elders and 2 Sister Missionaries?  How are your companionships doing?  Do sister missionaries have different strengths and weaknesses?  Has working with Sister Missionaries been difficult or maybe easier?

A3. Yep, the district is I, Elder Himmer, Elder Hileman, Elder Ormsby, Sister Loveland and Sister Nelson. They are all doing well.  Yeah Sister missionaries have different strengths sometimes. I would say they are easier to work with most of the time.

Q4.    I have a few more addresses to send you.  It's really hard to find addresses for some of your friends.  Is there anything else you need?  Where did you get the lime green hoodie and the old fashion tennis shoes?  Any special Easter treat that we can send your way?  What is Elder Himmer's favorite snack?  What is his favorite color?

A4. Nope, we don’t need anything.  I get that stuff at T.J. Max and Ross, a missionary's best friend. Peanut butter Easter Bunnies? Blue.

Q5.   How are Eric, Victoria and your 12-year-old investigator?  What happened with Aimee?  Have things calmed down a bit with that family?  Now, is the time for your ward to encircle that family with love and understanding.  I can imagine how scared and confused Aimee is right now.  It has got to be hard on her mother too, but she needs to love her despite the mistakes she has made and help her to get back in touch with her Heavenly Father.  Enough preaching, I hope things are going well for all of them.  Do you feel you have any Baptisms on the horizon?

A5. They are doing well. She's fine. Yeah. They are a little bit calmer. No Baptisms to look forward to at the moment.

Q6.    How are you doing physically, mentally and emotionally?  We pray for you all the time.  What is something you have been thinking about or maybe concerned about?  What would you like to know about from all of us?  Ask us absolutely anything you would like and I will MAKE your siblings write you back. lol 

A6. Physically strong, mentally gone, emotionally a wreck.........jk. lol  I'm fine. I like to know just how everyone is doing. Mostly, how Martin's Sweethearts date went? How Lydia's doing in Young Women’s and how Dad is doing in his new calling and school.  You mom, just how are you doing?

Okay, other people are waiting so got to go!!! Love ya!!!!
