I got the fruit snacks last monday and they were all gone by saturday. Thank you For the birthday cards and stuff. Haha Tell Jared and the Braven team "thanks for the package" Its just what i wanted! Two chicken feet! hahaha gross.... added note: "Craig brought home, from his China trip, pickled chicken feet for everyone at Braven office. So Jared boxed one up for Chris' Birthday and mailed it to him. We all thought it was hilarious especially since Chris is living on 'Winged Foot Dr'"
This week has been pretty crazy with transfers and all. Got my new companion Elder Reay. And since then we have been trying to settle in. Which makes this week seem like its been pretty slow with the work. But its all good. My new companion is Total opposite from Elder Gallegos! Elder Gallegos was kind of a slacker and did his own thing, which bugged me a bit. Elder Reay however is like to the letter! And its bugging me too. Like last night i wasnt able to write in my journal earlier so i started writing at like 10:25. And when 10:30 comes around (time for lights out) He goes and turns off the lights. While im writing! and says its time for bed! It doesnt sound like a big deal, but it was making me frustrated! Anyways hes pretty loud and obnoxious sometimes but its starting to mellow out and i know we can become good friends. The same thing happened with Elder Gallegos (different story but same principle) and we have become great friends.
So sorry i didnt email yesterday. It was memorial day and everywhere we could go to email was closed. But it turned out to be a way fun P-day! we had a tri-ward picnic and to start it off they did a 5k at 7:30am. I ran it with one of the AP missionaries and kept up pretty well. Later they had the actual picnic so went and had a ton of food and talked with a bunch of people. but we left early to go play frisbee golf with our zone leaders. It was way fun! like hole 9 it started to rain insanely hard! but that didnt stop us! we finished playing in pouring rain and were Soaked!!! After that we went and played basketball at the church, but since our shoes and socks were soaked we decided to play barefoot... Bad idea! with the 5k and barefoot basketball, my entire lower body is Sore! Hopefully that doesnt affect the work today. just so you know... It wont! ill be pressing forward!!
As for our investigators... We are meeting with Jeremy tonight. Jennifer didnt come to church... again. so we are going over to her house today to set things straight. Nick is our most progressing investigator! we had an awesome lesson this last week! The spirit was there so much and i know he felt it and he was telling us how he knows he needs to change. like stop smoking and drinking and he say that everything we are teaching him makes sense. so we invited him to be baptized and he kind of avoided it but he said that when he does prary about it he knows he'll get an answer if its true or not. so keep him in your prayers. He will be awesome!
Well i think thats all. I love you guys! also, I know theres not a lot of big opportunities to do missionary work in utah but i know there are little ones, so take advantage of all of them because its the greatest! it doesnt have to be handing out a Book of Mormon, but just inviting someone to church or helping someone who is struggling can make the biggest difference. i heard a quote from a leaving missionary this transfer and i love it.
"Jesus Christ bled from every pore for us. Let us sweat from every pore for him."
Love you guys.
P.S. My birthday is on friday so.... do with that what you will.
