How is everyone today? This week has been slower than
usual which kind of stinks but Elder Porter and I have been working hard doing
service and trying to stay busy.
First off, transfers are in 9 days. We both think
Elder Porter will be leaving because he has been here since February. I will
probably be staying here and training. I'm excited to train and hope that I can
do a good job. Elder Porter is excited because he might train too. We are
getting 50 new missionaries this transfer!
I told you in a previous letter that I came across a
man with the same last name as me. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get a
hold of him. He lives in a retirement home that, although it is in our area,
isn't in our jurisdiction. The last time we went over his wife wasn't doing
well and we told him we'd stop by later. What he did tell me is that his
ancestry is from Ireland and then to Missouri. It’s a good chance we are
related but I just haven't been able to talk to him more. We definitely will be
going over again though.
This week we had a member teach us how to make really
really good bread. Brother Bright had given us this bread before and we had
just demolished it before we even got home. So he said he'd teach us how to
make it. The Bright family is really cool. They have a little boy, Cody who is
6. He loves it when we come over, he grabs his rubber band gun and we have rubber
band wars. They have a 17 year old daughter, Alicia who is a junior in school
and a 19 year old son, who is on a mission. While we were waiting for the bread
to rise I noticed a trophy of Brother Brights for Trap shooting. This led into
a conversation about guns. :) :) He showed us his gun safe and some of his
guns. This guy has more guns than I’ve ever seen!!! He could easily arm the
neighborhood. So I got to get my gun fix too! :) The members here are really
nice and supportive of missionary work.
Stake Conference was this Sunday and the theme was on
missionary work! They had a recently returned senior couple speak on their
mission and the stake presidency spoke as well. It was a good stake conference.
Thank you guys for all the letters and emails! I'm
sorry if I haven't written you guys back yet (sorry mom and dad, definitely
this week! :) ) I will try to write you back soon! I love you guys!
