Dear
Family, Friends, Members, and Fans,
Hopefully I can get some email in today, people have been on the computer.
Either you will get this email today (Monday) or tomorrow
(Tuesday). I don't know why I'm writing that part because either
way you have gotten this and are reading it. Any who!! Let’s get to the meat of
the email, “Missionary Weekly”.
Missionary Weekly
Welcome
to “Missionary Weekly”, where we journey in the wilderness with the servants of
the Lord. Today,
we see how service can be colorful, and emergency Mini-missionary? See how the
missionaries work on and off schedule, with a third companion, who had a
birthday? See how Elder Morris celebrates his “One-year” mark in the field.
Read all this and more on “Missionary Weekly”.
August 7th, 2012 - Service with a color. Today, we did service for Sister Kane, a
less-active/part-member family. We helped them last week with a little bit of
painting and didn't finish, so we came back today
and did more work on it. It was
hot.... let’s just put it that way.
It was around the triple digits. In fact, it was in the triple digits
all week, this week. We worked
from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm. We took a few breaks every now and then for water, but
we did mostly painting around the trim of the house. After we finished we went
back to our apartment and got cleaned up.
We went to the bike shop... (Now mom breathe).... everything is
okay. My back wheel broke,
again. It was my fault, because I
kind of stepped on it to lock it in place. I didn't have to pay for anything. They just used the
warranty and gave me a new one. I
just save 75 dollars.
August 8th, 2012 - We had a Zone meeting today.
We talked more on planning and getting people to church.
August 9th, 2012 - Today
we got another mini – missionary.
I was pretty excited, but that changed the next day. We also went out and tried to visit a
few people, but I guess it was too hot for people to be out or talk to us. Blasted sun,
but hey all is well I guess.
August 10th, 2012 - HAPPY MISSION BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
I am now this many years old, okay just 1 year old. It's crazy to believe that it has been a year since I left
home. My testimony has grown so
much through this whole mission.
Now, I have one more year to go. Thanks for the package it was awesome.
I love the Camel too. Lol The
Awesome CD I love a lot, thanks!!!! I also appreciate the letters as well. I love hearing from all of you. It was Capitol AWESOME!!!! This day we
did weekly planning...super yey!!!! Oh, I got sheet music with the song I
love. It’s called "I heard
him come". Elder Leone had a
copy so he gave it to me. It’s really
an amazing song. Oh, and also Nikki's birthday was this day as well. She is now
20!!!! Man that's cool. Today was
the time with the Mini Missionary when things were odd. When we were biking, to the church the
mini missionary nearly got hit by a truck. Man, the conversations we had were odd as well. I won't go into detail.
August 11th, 2012 - More Service with
Color!!! Today,
we went back and finished the painting!!!! YEAH!!!! It was fun, as well. They
fed us Breakfast and lunch. It was
so much fun, until we found out they were moving to Loomis soon. The whole work was to get the house to
look good to sell. Oh well, I definitely think that we built a good
relationship with them. Oh, and
this is when our mini went home. So, now things should move smoothly!!!! JK!!!
It was fun with him.
That's
all for “Missionary Weekly”....
Now,
let’s go to our next program, Q & A CORNER!!!!!
Q1. How has the weather been? Sister Peterson who
lives in Roseville 5th ward said it has been record heat there. I hope
you are not getting to overheated or dehydrated. Are you taking good care
of each other and making sure each of you are feeling well?
A1. HOT, let’s just leave it at that. It’s just hot, 108 F and it won’t get
any cooler in the next 7 days.
We're definitely staying hydrated.
Q2. How are Nikki and Andrew doing? The story Nikki
told was so touching. She should have a great testimony. How are
all your investigators and less-actives doing? I know you are just what
they need, so keep working hard for them.
A2. They're doing awesome. We've been having trouble trying to
contact them this whole week, but hopefully next week will be better.
Q3. How is your plan coming along? You know
"Hit the pavement, find, teach and baptize!" I hope you have
found some renewed energy and enthusiasm. It must be hard for Elder Leone
the closer he gets to going home. It would be so nice for him to have a
Baptism to send him off. He should get to see some reward for all his
hard work.
A3. It's coming. He actually is going back to Rocklin this Friday to baptize
one of his investigators there.
So, we'll get one here too!!!
Q4. What was something inspiring that happened this
week? What was the best thing that happened? What was the worst
thing that happened? Any journal moments you would like to share?
A4. What inspired me the most was all you guys did with
the letters and package. It really helped. The best thing would be getting the
package and the post cards I got today. Thank you!!! The worst thing would be
biking in the heat!!! Nothing too big, all this is really a journal entry for
me.
Q5. I loved your "I'm a Mormon" spot. How
do you feel your testimony has changed this year? What do you think has
changed the most about you the past year? What do you think was the
biggest moment or memory from this past year? Was it a fast year or a
slow year from you point of view?
A5. My testimony has changed a lot. I always feel like I need to change it everyday. My attitude
towards life and the gospel has really changed for the better. I think the
biggest moment or memory was the day I went into the MTC. Another great moment
or memory was having Arnett as my trainer, all my companions and the people we
touch. It’s been going
way fast. I feel like I should be hitting my six-month mark instead. lol
Q6. What is something you want to ask
us? This Question is for you to send back to anyone you want. Ask
any question of any one and I make sure you get it answered.
A6. Okay, my turn.
I read from Martin's postcard that a “Halo” movie is coming out, is this
true doctrine? I would like to know. Let's see what else? How are the fires in
Utah? Are they under control now? I don't want to get a phone call that says my
family went up in flames? How is Doug doing? I haven't heard from him in a long
time. Let him know that the “Sons of Seminary” still rule. He'll get the
message. lol How about Steve
Rowzee, has his Mom been writing he's emails on his FB? How are the rest of the
missionaries? Could you do what
you did before and put some of their emails in my letter when you get them?
Thanks. I think that’s’ all. Oh, how is having the I-Pad Dad? lol See, if you
wait patiently the Lord will provide the I-Pad you want. lol!!!
Well, I guess that’s it for this email. Are there any more questions, thoughts,
or concerns? Please, and I say
PLEASE email or write me. This is
the address; 1801 Eureka rd. #22 Roseville CA, 95661.
