Almost got the record again...email from 3-29-10

Hey Guys!

Good times, I can't believe it's almost April. I'm so old now. It's going by way too fast.
Guess what. I get to work out every morning at the gym now. Yes, I am a member of Sequim (pronounced skwim) gym. I'm getting huge.
We did not have a baptism last week or a conformation but were for sure having one or both of those things this week. If we get the kid we baptised the other week confirmed then we will break the zone record for baptisms in a month. The record is 17, we're going for 18.
I just found out one of my favorite converts just got called to be a secretary in the Elders Quorum. YES!
I love this ward sooo much. Bishop Bonham is like our best friend. He takes us to see people all the time and we're totally baptising his son-in-law. We found out our downstairs neighbors are Jehovah's Witnesses (It makes sense that they hate us now). Went to a funeral for a sweet guy we were teaching. His name was Jay, he had been in either the hospital or rehab for over a year. We took him to church a couple of weeks ago. It was crazy cause he could only be off his IV for 4 hours, or he would die. But he went anyway. He loved it so much. He just sat there with his throw-up bucket smiling and crying and thanking us over and over again. I'm so glad he got to go to church before he passed away. I also got to help bless sister Bessy's baby. Good week. I hope you guys are still doing well. I love you all so much.

LOVE

What up Mans,

Good week! We had another baptism yesterday, and the kid who got baptised the week before got confirmed. It's been going great up here.
The weathers been real nice. Uuhhhhh. I don't really know what else to say other than I'm doing great.
How are y'all? Has Andrew gotten his blessing yet? How's Nathan doing? Jacob needs to stop getting strep.
We haven't had any crazy stories as of late but I'll let you know. We've just been hanging out with sweet families and baptizing people. I hope you guys are still doing good.

LOVE

'Sup Dudes,

Yeah, I'm staying in Dungeness. I'm really excited about it too! We had a baptism last Sunday that came out of nowhere. It was sweet.
We got a ton of new missionaries in the zone so it's kind of weird, but 2 of the ones who got transferred up here were in my district in the MTC. So that's sweet.
I have been to PPT , I've just never heard it referred to in that way. (Progressive Power Tumbling)
I'm way glad Andrew got to teach.(Andrew taught 2 lessons on Sunday, one in Primary and one in Young Single Adults.) He's got to do a lot more of that. That's ok though 'cause teaching the Gospel is the funnest thing in the world.
We had another General Authority talk to us on Saturday and Sunday. It was sweet. I'm so stoked about being here still. It's crazy to think that I've been out for so long. It just goes by way to fast. I love y'all and I hope your still doing good.

LOVE

We'll see... email from 3-8-10

'Sup Dudes,

Yes, I did get the letter, thanks very much!
I'm glad Mauro's alright.(Mauro is in earthquake territory)
Last week was A LOT better! We have found some really sweet people that we are teaching, and we might have a baptism this weekend. Good times.
(To Andrew) No, I have not beat up my companion yet. He's way cool and we get along great. We finally found houses that aren't inhabited by old people!! I'm way excited about that. This is the last week of the transfer, and I have a sneaking suspicion that they're moving me again. I'm not sure but I think that President likes sending me to areas that aren't doing so good, and then sending me somewhere else when they start turning around. Weird.
I'm glad you guys are doing so good and I will totally write Grampa Brown. Andrew needs to keep on working out so he can beat up Rachel's date for sure.
What the heck is PPT?(Progressive Power Tumbling)
That totally sucks that Timpview won state. Tell Andrew a jobs' a job he would probably thrive in that environment.(Robert's Crafts) teehee.
I let you know on Monday whether I got transferred or not. The weather here is awesome by the way, sunny every day. I love you all and I'm glad you're doing good.

LOVE

Elder Updyke (weird one)
