Dude
That's freaking gross about Rachel's ear!(Rachel had a bug crawl in her ear.) I thought that was just a myth.
We got our crazy investigator confirmed last sunday. She's a way sweet lady, she's just super annoying some times and a big handful at church.
I got a letter from Gabe. He's doing good. Tell Phills to write me.
This week was kinda slow but we still got an awsome investigator to church. We found her tracting. Her name is Katie and she's only lived in Graham for like a week. Her roomates were trying to Anti her all of last week but she came anyway! That's funny about Andrew and Tiff, is Glenn there too? I love you guys! lemme know how Rachels ear turns out. I hope it did'nt lay eggs!
LOVE
Elder Underdone
(Good one)

Still in G-ram...Email for 7-18-10
Sup Playas,
Yes, I'm still in Graham. This last week has been insane! We baptized that crazy lady HARD-CORE! She brought her service dog and Elder Warner held it while me and Elder Ludwig baptized her. When we got to the church for the baptism yesterday she was already there. She had an American Flag and was twirling with it while bumping weird monk chanting from her car. She said she was paying homage. Weird. But she got way calm and normal right after the ordinance was done. So stressful. Teaching this lady was like teaching a 4 year old on Crack.
Other than that we did a bunch of tracting, and found a whole ton of inactive folks that the ward didn't know about.
Speaking of "the ward". Sacrament meeting has been exclusively about temple ordinances for the past 2 weeks. SO DUMB, but I talked with the ward council about it and they're going to try and sensitive to the fact that we have investigators there so I hope the topics get tied to the Savior more. Anyhoo, I loves you tons and hope your all doing well.
LOVE

LYNNNNNN... Email from 7-5-10
Hey Peeps,
NO WAY! That is the coolest thing ever, go Lynn! (Andrew's rocker friend Lynn is getting baptized.)
Yeah, it's still pretty slow here. Our crazy investigator called me at 12:00am last night. She's probably not getting baptized any time soon. Lame, It's looking like this will be my first transfer without a baptism.
The fourth was way fun. There's Indian rez'es all over the place here so the fireworks are pretty intense.
As far as talking to that husband guy, just go for it. Say why we do it and say that it really won't effect him at all. God'll help you out, this is obviously something he wants you to do, and she probably wants you to do it too. (A have a friend that passed away who is waiting for her work to be done.)
Yup, can't wait for the package. I loves you guys. Happy 5th of July!
Love

Still Slow But Getting Better... Email from 6-28-10
Hey Fam and other Intersted Parties,
I am doing great! We have a bunch of people we're teaching but only the crazy one will come to church. We got a bunch of inactive people to come though, so that's sweet. I'm having lots of fun but I'm kinda bummed at how slow the work is going.
Which Paul got baptized? The Paul I know is on a mission in Missouri right? That's so sweet that Andrews Metal buddies are getting baptized. That's a great missionary experience for him. If he could baptize someone himself before his mission that would be awesome.
GET HIM TO TELL ME ABOUT COURTS FIGHT!!
That's good that you got to throw down with that liberal dude at the polls. Being on a mission in the middle of were all that stuff gets tried out has only solidified my position.
I'm almost at my year mark! That's freakin insane! I don't feel too different (except for the extra 30 pounds) but I've met some of the coolest people ever, and then baptized them. That's probably had some effect on me. tee hee. I love you guys and I hope your summer's going swimmingly.
LOVE

O MY GOSH! Email from 6-21-10
Dudes,
COURT WON!!! That's awesome! We had a pretty cool week. We're starting to get a system down. Our crazy investigator came to a baptism and loved it.
I was feeling a little sick and my allergies are ridiculous out here, that kinda slowed me down. But we found a Samoan investigator! YES, I love Samoans.
Uhhh... That's about it. Get the fam to write me some questions so my emails will be longer. I love you all! Get Nathan to send me some cake.
LOVE

Good Times...Email from 6-14-10
Sup Peeps,
Hey Everybody! What's the happs? That's way sweet about Robby and Tristan, soooo cute. Way sweet about Cort too. That's ma boi!( Cort Magee in the Ultimate Fighter. He was a trainer at Throw Down here and is a good guy.)
Graham's pretty cool. It's another one of those areas that has a rep for being way slow. Having lots of fun though. It's beautiful right now.
My new comps pretty cool. He served the first half of his mission in Mongolia. He's here now cause his visa got messed up.
Tracting is not as fun without the ghetto.
Get the Judkins to hook me up!(They have family in Graham)
Ummm...We're not really teaching anyone too solidly except this one lady who I suspect might be schizophrenic, but I'm sure we'll get some good folks soon.
Give Nathan a huge hug/awkward smooch from me and tell Andrew to tape Cort's fight for me. I love you guys and I hope your trucking just fine.
LOVE

I sent you the right memory card. I think it might have been wiped. Lame. (We thought the card he sent was blank, luckily it wasn't!)
You got the sizes right I think.
Ohhhh... by the way. I got transferred to Graham. Keep on sending my stuff to the mission office for now though. My new Comp is Elder Warner.
The Aberdeen story is thus. We had to get A baptismal suit for Alexis. She's a bigger black lady, and we didn't have a suit in her size. So we spent all day calling around to locate one. The Aberdeen missionaries called us at like 9 on Saturday telling us they had one. So we drove down to Aberdeen to gets it.
Fun times, I gotta go though. Love yeah! See's you later.
