Killer! email from 2-22-10

Hey Fam

My Birthday was great! Thanks everyone! My new area's alright. The weather here has been perfect.
You gotta do my plaque! Psalms 27:1 is a good one.
Matthew is old.
Sister Bessey is awesome! They fed us the other week.
No real good stories right now, it's kinda slow. Did I tell you we met Napoleon Dynamites Grampa? Anyways, keep keeping me updated on stuff. I love you tons.

LOVE

NO WAY! Elder U's email from 2-15-10

Hey Everybody!
Bishop's not Bishop anymore ? Weird. That's so sweet about brother Magleby! He's gonna be awesome.
Go Morgan, I'm way excited for him.
The work's going alright. We got a guy who may get baptized this weekend but he's got some pretty stiff opposition. He's aqua-phobic! We'll see how that all turns out.
I got a letter from Gabe the other day, which was sweet.
We're still mostly tracting into old people but there are a few sweet potentials here and there.
As far as birthday stuff goes... That all sounds good.
I can't believe this transfer is almost half over already! Oh, did you guys ever put up my plaque? If so, what scripture did you use? If you haven't yet, I know some good ones now.
Why didn't you get pictures of Andrew! Awww lame.
Sequim is pretty fun. I gave a talk last Sunday about helping people after they're baptized. We also brought a guy from the rehab center to church. He got baptized a couple years ago, then he got Pancreitus and had to be in the hospital for like 9 months! He still is in rehab but he wanted to go to church. He's the coolest guy ever.
My comp is pretty sweet but still very much a greenie. He's getting better though. Things are going good. It's just different out here.
We played capture the flag as a zone for P-day at an old military bunker.
I can't believe Phil's getting back so soon.
Well, that's all I can think of.

Here be my new address... email from 2-8-10

Hey guys

Here's my new address:
429 W. Cedar St. Apt 10
Sequim WA, 9382

Yeah, this week was kinda slow. We didn't have very much to do except get to know the ward. The previous missionaries left us with pretty much nothing. So we get to start over again. The ward is sweet though! They are so excited about having us here. We've already had like 6 referrals.
I haven't really thought about my birthday too much. uhhh.... Perfect Push Up? That door gym is great for the arms and back but not so much for the chest. Other than that I don't know. I definitely don't want Rough Stone Rolling anymore. But some books about Porter Rockwell would be cool.
That is awesome about Andrew being high (on pain meds after having his wisdom teeth out). Give him lots of jello. Tell Nathan what my new Address is.
I did not get any pictures of myself kissing the bison...sorry. But we're probably going to go again at some point because the game farm is in our area.
The weather here is a lot like Utah, It's in a place called the sunbelt. It's weird because Port Angeles is only like 15 miles away, and they get like 20 inches more rain. 60% of my area is retirees by the way uggghhhh....baptism's for the dead? Anyhoo, I'm glad y'all are doing good. I love you guys.

New Pictures

I changed the slide show with Daniel's latest pictures. Enjoy!

Dungeoness... Email from 2-2-10

Yes, I got transferred. I am now in the the Dungeoness ward. It's still in the Port Angeles Zone but just farther east. I'm not sure what my address is yet so I'll have to get back to you.
That thing we're doing in all the baptism pictures is called the ultimate point. It's a mission tradition.
My new companion is Elder Berger. He's from Utah and he's only been out three months. He's a way cool kid and he's way excited.
That jello is from a sweet family called the Crostons. The wife is a recent convert and she heard that the Utah Mormons are known for making green jello. So she decided to one-up us.
Things are going great here, I'm still settling in but I'm way excited. I hope y'all are doing well.

LOVE
