July 28, 2009: Letter


Mom & Dad,

I'm missing you too. I bet it's really quiet around there with me gone and with Jenni & her family gone as well. Gavin is getting baptized in Utah? That's exciting that he is getting baptized but it sucks that you won't be able to be a part of it. It sounds like yall had a nice time while the Denver Watts' were there. From the letter is doesn't sound like much has changed with Grandma & Grandpa. Make sure to tell them I love them and that I said hi. Everything is fine with my companion & I. We just had a disagreement about a few things but we worked it out. I mentioned in the last letter that things are good, which they are, but that it is hard. I meant that yeah everything is good, but that being on a mission is a challenge. It's not easy lol. It's hard to adjust and to get used to things, but also to find people to teach, to do the actual teaching, etc. I don't know how to explain it. It's just very different from anything I have ever done before. It's all good though. Thank you for putting my name in the Temple...that means a lot. :) I'm working on the debit card thing. It just hasn't been working at Wal-Mart for some reason. When it comes to dinner for the missionaries, I don't know what to tell you, just make it good. It's nice to go to a members home that is clean, when the members are organized, on time, and when they have a nice meal for you. It makes you feel like they really want you to be there for dinner. Tell the Voss girl congrats for me. I'll keep the apartments in my prayers that they will rent soon. Only you, Alicia, and Jenni have been writing me through email. Jenni didn't write me a letter this week though. :( Uncle Donald donated to my mission? That's so nice of them. I'll have to send them a thank you note....can you get their address for me? Tell the girls at your work and everyone in the ward I said hi. Make sure that the address you give everyone is the mission office address on Washington Blvd. The lessons are going well. I'm getting better at them and learning them more everyday and every time I teach them. We have 5 investigators with baptismal dates coming up. We haven't had a baptism yet though. I'm trying to write in my journal but it's hard cause I don't have a lot of time to write in it...I'm workin' on it though. We had zone conference last week which was nice. A set of missionaries got their car taken away lol...some other missionaries in Idaho wrecked their car and need one so they took one away from our area. We have been doing a lot of service this week. We helped people move 3 different times this week. It was nice to help. The guy we helped yesterday took us all out to lunch afterwards which was nice of him. The Drake family brought us more groceries the other day...they are an amazing family, and love to help out with missionary work. Another member brought us like 20 boxes of cereal lol...I guess she works at a grocery store so she gets a lot or something haha. Idk. We've been doing overnight exchanges lately. They have been fun, it's nice to go to a different area with a different missionary and see how they do things. We went bowling last Tuesday for P-Day but Idk what we are going to do today. Hopefully something fun. Well I miss you guys so much and love you even more. I hope yall are doing well. Keep me updated and let me know what is going on with everything. I hope to hear from you soon. I love getting letters from everyone. Tell all my friends on Facebook to write me!!! Give them my address (the mission office one) and tell them I'll write back if they write me first so that I have their address. I'll write more in a hand written letter today. I gotta go cause we need to go do other things, and my companion is done with his email and wants to go so I'll make sure to write you later today cause there's more I want to tell you. Love you!
