I've Grown So Much

May 28, 2013

Well we didn’t get the chance to email yesterday because the library was closed so we are allowed to send a few quick ones today to let ya know we are still alive. My suit is fine, like I said nothing but my pride was affected. Wow everyone is getting there mission calls, there is going to be no youth left in the church because everyone is on a mission. Not much happened this week, it rained a lot so it was a slower week. We find out transfer news this week so I’ll let ya know on Monday if anything is changing. Things with that family are going really well, we are teaching them again tonight. Everything is going really well here I’m having a blast with Elder Melander, it’s crazy to think this is the last week of training. It’s gone by so fast and I’ve grown so much, I’m excited to see what happens next transfer. Well I’ll have more time to email next week so love ya and talk to ya soon.

The Only Thing I Hurt Was My Pride

May 20, 2013

It was good to talk to yall too. Hopefully at Christmas we can Skype. Here’s a picture. That’s pretty crazy about Jaron, don’t worry that hasn’t happened to me. Well we are teaching a new family, they are a part member family, and have a cute little 12 week old girl, they are super nice and have lots of questions so it’s fun to teach. They were coming to church for about a month before we started to teach them so they say they’ve enjoyed the ward. So far things are going really well with them, we teach them again Tuesday so hopefully good things happen. So I’m going to start this next story by telling you I’m fine and nothing is hurt, but I had my first bike accident. We were riding up our driveway and my bike decided to stop going forward while my body wanted to keep going forward. So I ended up flying over my handle bars and onto the ground. The only thing I hurt was my pride. To be honest I’m surprised that that is the first time I’ve fallen off my bike, I’m a pretty clumsy guy if ya haven’t noticed. I guess the lord doesn’t want to change that about me. It’s crazy to think that this is the beginning of week 11 of 12 for training, I’m excited to see what happens at transfers. Well I guess that’s it, talk to ya next week, love ya.

Just Another Week Here In Clayton

May 6, 2013

So I got some really good news, Bro. Wilcox, the husband of the part member family I was teaching in my last area got baptized last week! I was so excited to hear this. I guess a member of the ward just talked to him about his conversion and they had the same concerns and everything and he was like “ok I’m going to get baptized!” And I got wedding announcements from my trainer. I guess he’s getting married in like 2 weeks. Ya Clayton is a small town but the ward isn’t just Clayton, it covers a few cities. From where we live to the other end of the ward is about a 30 min. car ride, which means over an hour on bikes, so it’s hard to get out that way often. I don’t know we will move, but the ward keeps talking about it. Wow everyone got an I phone, you bought mine for when I get back right? Just another week here in Clayton, nothing too exciting happened. It was pretty rainy so it’s been slower than normal, but we’ve had a lot of teaching opportunities this week so it’s been good for training purposes. We have interviews with president Thursday and I’m just hoping he doesn’t tell me I’m doing something super crazy like white wash training again. We found a cool little bike trail last Monday and it’s in the forest, it looks like the Hunger Games. I guess it was shot in North Carolina. Well love ya talk to ya Sunday. I’ll call at like 3 my time, I don’t know when you have church....
