June 11, 2012

Hi mom I'm doing well. Thank you for the package I just got it this week. The Jelly Beans are amazing, I was craving those so so so so much thank you. I think that our Zone Leaders are a little retarded when it comes to giving mail and it took awhile for it to get from the mission office to me. 
 
We don't really have very many cool dinners ever. Just standard run of the mill dinners. We did have dinner with an excommunicated member who served his mission in Japan. We all had uncooked meat and veggies and a big frying pan in the middle of the table and we cooked it and ate it as dinner went on. It was very difficult with chop sticks but I am getting better at using those.
 
So I never bought the steak and I haven't had any steak since Austin was my companion. He bought it all and cooked it. He was the southern boy so I just got fat off of eating his food ha ha. Except I think I have lost some weight. I can't tell though because I don't have a scale. Got to go on belly size ha ha.
 
Those are some really cool missionary experiences that you all have had. That is a good plan mom that you have. Did you pray about it to see if it was part of God's plan also? Maybe it is time now to give him the BoM or maybe it is after Christmas. I have never prayed so much as I do now out here. About little tasks also like who we should go see, what street we should knock, and what we should share with someone. It is really cool. Pray about your decision, doesn't hurt to run it by God, the source of all truth and knowledge :).
 
So this week was crazy. Tyler's mom gave permission for him to be baptized it was soooo crazy!!! We are super excited and set a date on July 14th with him. His dad and Tyler are really busy until then so that was the first open date. We really think it was the 40 day fast we are doing in our ward that softened her heart. The 40 day fast is where a different member of the ward fasts for missionary opportunities in their life each day for 40 days. We have been seeing a lot of miracles and a ton of missionary opportunities that the members are having.
 
This week also we had a Less Active member Sis Hamutoff trip and fall and break her hip. She is about 60 years old. We had just started to get her to come back to church and then this happened. We were the first ones to know though and we rushed to the Hospital and gave her a blessing. We were the first ones there and stayed with her and her husband for 2 hours till the relief society president came. They transferred her down to another hospital for surgery and now she is recovering. She has Parkinsons though so her body moves uncontrollably so she is in a ton of pain and is having a hard time healing because she keeps moving her hip. We are praying hard for her.
 
Other then that it has been a pretty normal week. We have a temple trip coming up in two weeks and it should be fun. Be sure to wish Jess a happy birthday on the 28th. Send her an e-mail to see if you can meet with her for lunch also while you are up in Utah. Thank you guys so much for everything I love you so much.
