Howdy Y'all,
Yes, we had a baptism last night. It was awesome! Chimacum ward knows whats up. The Port Townsend ward struggles a bit though. The dudes name is Nick Weis, he's 18 and he lives in the Everett mish, but his fellowships up here.
Me and Parkinson are having so much fun. It's weird, we work really hard all week and nothing seems to come of it. Then on Sunday we have miracle after miracle.
My thought this week is concerning ALMA 26:23-33. I find the people of Zarahemla's reaction to Alma and the sons of Mosiah going on a mission very interesting. It say that they "Laughed them to scorn" and told them that there was no way they would ever convert any Lamanites, these are members of the church saying this. Read verses 31 through 33, it just goes to show. The only way to know if someone will accept or reject the gospel, is to teach it to them.
I love you guys. Tell Jacob and yourself Happy Birthday.
LOVE

sup peeps,
Good times! We had a baptism last night! It was sweet. The guys name is J.D. . He's this huge mountain man from arkansas with a pony tail and a gnarly beard.
We had six investigators at church. We're gonna be getting alot more baptisms here pretty soon.
My spiritual thought comes from my ward mission leader. It is 3 nephi 18:30-32. I think about the part were it says "yea shall be the means of thier salvation" There isn't anyone who can't benefit from knowing the gospel.
Love y'all! Give Andrew some Oxy Contan for me. Have a great week.
LOVE

I So Stoked! ...1/04/11
Hey Dudes,
Guess what! I got a new companion that isn't going home soon! Hooray! Elder Bernard is home. My new comp is Elder Parkinson. He's a stud from New Mexico, and he's only been out for like seven months so he's not trunkie at all. Last week we pretty much just took care of getting Bernard's stuff in order, so not much missionary work. Anyhoo, I'm excited.
Go say hi to Gabe! Tell that foo to write me. How's Andrews mission stuff going?
My spiritual thought is John 15:13-15, I read that this morning and I really liked the saviors use of friends as opposed to servants (see vs 15). I thought that was very sweet. I have decided that I like the book of John best out of the 4 gospels. I love you guys! Have a great week.

Holiday Slowness...12/20/10
Hey Evabody
Yup, a little bit of a slow week again, some little miracles though. We found a lady who's living with a member, she loves the church and is planning to get baptized the day after they get married, Jan 12.
Yes I did get your presents from the Christmas party.
We didn't have anyone at church on Sunday, but we have lots and lots of people being taght. Everything has kinda slowed down with the holidays. That sucks about the tabernacle, Do they know how it started? Get Andrew physicalled and out here already! I love you guys MEERRRRRRYYYY CCHHHRRRISSSSTTTTMMMAAASSSS!

Very Fun Indeed...12/13/10
Sup peeps
The Christmas party was great, tons'o fun. Another one of those busy weeks but not much actual accomplishment. It's my comps last transfer, so he's a little trunky. He was here last transfer but he didn't pay attention at all so I have to figure out stuff myself. He's an alright guy though, HUGE star wars nerd. He makes those replica light saber things in his spare time. It's all good though cause he's going home soon. The wards are sweet, and slowly getting on board w/missionary work. I'm still getting used to driving like 45 minutes to get anywhere again. There's some parts of my area that are an hour and a half away. Anyhoo, I hope your all doing well, GABES COMING BACK SOON! Tell him Hi when you see him.

Cool Beans...12/06/10
Hey dudes,
That's good that the Birds' are so solid. Way sweet about Andrew, KEEP ON TRUCKIN'! Nothing really new to report here. Our week was way busy but I feel like we didn't get anything done. I did get to spend a day in Dungeness. Which was way awesome! They all remember me, which is nice. The week was way slow but it's okay cause we got blessed with like 6 non-members at church, we're gonna spend most of this week following up with them. Love you guys! How's Simon?

PT's Pretty Tame...11/29/10
Hey Dudes
PT is pretty dang liberal, but they're nice liberals so it's OK. The wards are pretty sweet, but rather small( I plan on remedying that).
The Bishops are way cool and one of them looks just like Dwight from the office. We had a sweet baptism of a 9 year old on Sunday. A great start for sure! I'm having fun out here on the peninsula again. Give Nathan and Sis Bird a big hug for me K? Also Lemme know how Andrews mission stuff is coming. Love you guys.
