November 1, 2010 to Pops

Hey Dad!!

thanks again for another great email! Well i survived another Transfer. I am very happy to know that everyone in my appartment is staying! I am super excited to continue serving in my two wards still! :) i cant believe im soon going to be 1/3 of the way through my mission! NOT a whole ton of new stuff went on this week. Just another week full of hard work, appointments, and still a ton of tracting. Covering 2 areas sure can keep you busy!

We had a great sunday yesterday i really enjoyed it, and felt the spirit. About 3 weeks ago we had a really nice fellow named Jason move in next to us. i would say he is in his 30's, but he is very soft, and tender. He really enjoys video games, and super heros, and stuff like that. i would say he is under developed, but he is a very cool guy. He really enjoys living next to us, and he asked to come along to church this week! It was our Primary Program, and i know he was very touched. He has some difficulties, but he wants to change for the better, and continue coming to church with us. For the most part he has very good standerds. I felt the happiest ever on my mission that sunday. Hopefully as we continue to talk with him he will learn more, and hopefully we will be able to teach him the lessons.

Sounds like Halloween was good like always. Im sad i didnt get the chance to be there, but im looking forward to some pics. We had to be in at 6 on saturday, and sunday, because things can get crazy at night around rowdy holidays!

Well i really need to get going sadly this week the computers were all being used, and then when i got on the internet was down for a while.:( Everything is A. OK. tell the fam i will write them all individually next week.

Love you all Bye

Hello son

it was great to receive your email sounds like your engauged in the work and enjoying it very much, thats what its all about just keep enjoying and loving the work and others will see your happiness and want a part of it also. It is good your teaching and have some interest from people you never know which door or what person will be ready and accept the gospel, I guess thats why they say you treat everyone like their a golden investigator. The part I always had a hard time with and should have done more was having the courage and confidence to ask people for commitments and challenge them to do things they needed to, but I realalized later to follow the spirts promptings and do it.

Glad to hear Tina Skinner is showing interest and trying to get an answer, ya know the thing I found was when people would start investgating the church that the advisary would work hard on them and make life more difficult for them. We would tell people that and if they would stay strong pray hard and fight through the tough time that they would recieve a joy and happiness they never knew.

Well things here are good just keep plugging along, time is going by fast I just realized Keira and Matt have only six weeks till they get married. They came down for the weekend. Johnathan and Alley was able to bring home there baby it is gaining weight and seems to be doing fine. Red is still working hard, she has been a bit sick the past week, cold and stuff but she is a trooper and keeps going.

We had Kens halloween as usual, I helped him out a bit on friday and saturday to get ready for it, every thing went well although it was raining bad to strat out so things were sloww but it piced up at the end when the rain stopped, we went till almost nine. Ken took some pictures ill have see if I can get them and send some to ya. Things are good Micah has his birthday on friday not sure what were doing.

Well I best wrap it up for now, I hope things have gone well for you this week. I know you are giving all you have to doing the Lords work and thats all he expects. So you have a good rain coat now? I am not sure how cold it gets there in the winter time ya think you will need another coat?

I thought your story about the guy you wanted to help was a hoot, I am sure he wanted his buddies to have a laugh, but you did get to share a message.

Well bud keep smiling, enjoy every day, and know your doing the greatest service possible trying to find and bring people to the only true church on earth. Our Father in Heaven and the Lord love you so much for your sacrafice and service, and they want to bless you imensley, stay in tune with the spirt and He will guide you in everything you do. I love you very much and am so happy you are enjoying the Lords work so much. Have a great week I pray you will find sucsses in you work.
LOVE POPS
