Hot Dang! email from 10-26-10

Hey Everabody,

GO ANDREW! That's way sweet. Get that foo out servin' da Lord!
This week was kinda slow except for some cool miracles. We had a lesson with this lady named Karie who's had the missionaries teaching her for like a year. She gets the Ensign and watches BYU TV all the time. Needless to say we were rather confused as to why she hadn't been baptized yet. So our lesson plan was basically just to ask her whats up. But when we got there, before we even said anything, she asked us if one of us was leaving soon.We both said no. Then she said "That's good cause I'm coming to church on Sunday, and I want to get baptized". We were pretty happy to hear that. She came and she loved church and has a baptismal date on Nov 7. We're also having a baptism this coming weekend. Good times. I love y'all.

LOVE

Still in the G-ram...Oct. 12, 2010

Sups

Yes I'm still in Graham. Only now I'm the district leader. My new comp is elder Davis from California. He's a cool kid. He hits his year mark in like a week.
Warner's gone and it's really weird. I got a lot more stuff to do as a district leader but it's fun stuff so that's OK.
YES! That's way sweet about Andrew getting his blessing. He needs to get out asap. That sucks about Colin but he'll be back out soon right?
How's Phil doing? I haven't heard about him in a while. Get him to write me.
Stuffs going good. I'm trying to break some patterns me and Warner started, but that won't be too hard cause Davis isn't very trunkie at all. Keep the faith Y'all. I loves you, keep on truckin'

Pakatism...Oct.4, 2010

Dear Mums, and other intersted parties

Hey guys! Conference was suh-weeet. It was very bold this time, I liked that a lot.
We had a baptism on Saturday! 9 year old kid named Paka, so killer. We had it on Saturday right after Priesthood, we had to get everything ready so we missed that session. Other than that last week kinda sucked.
My training went good I guess. I was really nervous, but people said they liked it so that's good. It's way weird that I'm so old now. I'm most likely going to be a District Leader next transfer. Scary, but kinda cool. I love you guys and I hope everythings going good.

A Little Bits Better...Sept 27, 2010

Sup Peeps

This week was alright. We were supposed to have a baptism tonight but that's probably gonna be later in the week.
I had an exchange with a missionary who was trained in Forks while I was in P.A. He's still way driven and obedient, so it was way fun.
We got an investigator to church, her family is all into welfare but she actually seems legit. Paka's the kid we were gonna baptize, but his parents were sick over the weekend. Me and Warner got to teach all the youth in the ward last night. We took um all on a church tour.
I'm giving my first training in Zone-meeting tomorrow so I'm pretty stoked about that. Love you guys, keep on truckin. Theres NO WAY Rachel's date out wrestled Andrew. Is he shirkin' his brotherly duties?

Hey Dudes... Sept. 20

Sup Peeps,

Ummm....not so much happening still. We have some good people we're teaching, but stuff is still going slow. We're trying but it's hard.
Our recent convert Patrick got kicked out of his house cause his mother in law's a jerk. Stuff kinda hit the fan after that.
Warner got his trunkie papers. Nuff said. Keep on praying for us. We'll keep on working. There's gotta be some miracles on the way.

Halfway- Sept 13, 2010

Yup,
So starts week three. Pretty much same old, same old. We've found a few potential investigators, but nothings really came of it.
We've gotten a bunch of less-active people to church though. We have a 9 year old named Paka who's getting baptized as soon as his dad gets the Aaronic priesthood.
Katie's gonna get baptized this weekend.
That's cool about Matthew. Is Jacob playing any sports? How's Andrew doin? Stuff is still pretty slow, it's probably gonna get alot slower cause Warner's dying. We'll see what happens. Can you send me my memory card? I got some new pictures for ya. Have a great week.

LOVE
