Another Week down and just 4 more to go. Man, life here is just going by so fast. Unfortunately, the Ross family did not show up to church this week because they had a lot of family in town. But they did call to tell us that they wouldn't be coming so that was a good sign. We did have Michael R come to church yesterday, so that was good to see. He has not been coming the whole time we have been here because he had been up in Idaho, making it hard to see him. BUT! We are seeing him now and he is going to church so that is good. Cool thing is that he wants to get baptized but not until December, so that will be a little ways off. So not to much happened this week, just seeing a few different people. Well sorry for the short letter again. Love all you, and see you all in a few weeks.

Man what a great Sunday. Yesterday we had an entire family come to church, so that means 6 investigators at church. Yeah! Now all we need to do is start teaching the Lebaron family that just moved in and we will have a total of 15 people at church. Man some people just know how to have kids, and lots of them. Anyway, the family that come to church was the Ross family. I have mentioned them in the past a bit but they haven't come in the past, but this time a member drove out to pick them up and bring them. They just loved church. We had Jeff (Dad) Denita (mom) Kenny (17) JD (22) Zeth (12) and Samantha (kenny's girlfriend) all come to church and they just felt right at home. Jeff already wants to do what we do and serve a mission. He is pretty darn cool. Other than that we started teaching Jason W. again, he just got home from North Dakota drilling for oil. We had a great lesson with him reviewing the restoration using the pamphlet. We just asked him the questions in the back and we helped him understand a lot. That was like a perfect lesson, we used every resource we could, except for a video, but man was it a great lesson.
Also on Sunay we went to the Bradshaw's house for a birthday party for Old Man Broadbent, we just call him Pops. Well he really isn't that old, but he does live in a mud house, so that is pretty cool. Anyway Bradshaw's have 19 children and a lot of them are teenagers so we went out and played a game with them. We LARP'ed. That was epic. If you don't know what LARPing is, well lets just say your missing out. Google it some time. Well that is all that went on this week. Hope all is well in your respective area's. Lots of love!

Hey sorry this is going to be a very short letter today, there is a lot of people who want to get on the computers so I only have 6 minutes to write this. Anyway, I will just tell of one experience that we had this week.
My favorite thing as a missionary is being in the right place at the right time. On Friday we went up to the town of El Dorado (pronounce the A as its name to pronounce it the Missouri way) Anyway  we were in town and we stopped by to see  Annette K and she was just having a terrible day. We spent awhile there just talking to her and by the end she was feeling much better. Then she even came to church on Sunday and really enjoyed herself.
 Well love you all!

The Lord Prepares the Hearts of Men (But more often Women)


This week I had the opportunity to go and be with Elder Fritzche in Willard. He is a super cool dude, or elder, but mostly dude. Anyway we went and saw 2 investigators while I was with him. The first lady we saw (who's name I forgot, so her name will be Bertha), was Bertha. Elder Frizche hadn't seen her for a long time and and they hadn't covered much with her. We started off with the Restoration and by the time we got to prophets she went on a tangent about how God needs to call prophets, "that how he did it in the past, that is how he will do it now, I am so glad you guys talk about prophets, no one does out here, do you have a prophet?!" said Bertha. Yeah that was pretty cool. The other lady we saw (her name will be lilou) Lilou. Apparently in their last lesson they talked about the Plan of Salvation, Lilou said, "I don't believe in just a heaven and a hell, it doesn't make sense if god is a just god, he has 3 places for people to go depending on their works, that is how I believe so you can take it or just leave." So they took and, and Lilou wants to be baptized now.
Anyway, other than that things out here have been doing pretty well. Unfortunately we didn't have any one at church yesterday. But we do have a few new people that we are setting up good appointments with. One guy named Laton is going to be marrying a girl in the ward so he wants to take the lessons. He is 20 and he asks a lot of good questions. We have gone over the plan of salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him. We are not sure how long he plans on staying in town for so were not sure if we get to baptize him here or not, more on that later. We are also going to be meeting with one Ted Britz tonight, he has been coming to sacrament meeting a few times and now he has determined he wants to take the lessons. Hyrum Jessup and his wife are still doing well, we watched a talk by President Monson with him, they liked it a ton. Well that is about all for this week.
