Well hey hey familia!! It's good to hear that you enjoyed your time
in California, it's even better to hear that we still want to keep our roots in
AZ! Haha. B dog! I hear that you've grown up a ton. That's not cool. You're not supposed to grow up! Haha just
messin. Someone needs to keep Austin in
line. Way to go with the flag routes
too. I remember those days. Fun fun. That picture of the auditorium you
sent was incredible! That would've so
cool to have been there to listen to the choir record! I don't doubt that it gave you chills, I get
chills only thinking about it!
Mom I really
enjoyed the top ten of the trip that you shared, and you asked for the top ten
of my week, so here you go!
This weeks
top ten 10!
10. Getting to help Zach and Ila Edens move into
their new home. They have a dachshund. A dog like Basil that's got the funniest
personality, her name is Rue. Super
awesome. I guess along with that helping
the Wall's family move too. Solid
family.
9. Getting condemned to hell and declared as
false prophets and deceivers by 3 different people in the same hour last night
:) (That's a good story for another time, probably after the mish)
8. Watching Elder Whitehead almost throw up 4
different times at dinner this week as we were eating pozole. (it's a hispanic dish, I'm sure Austin will
know what it is. Basically water, pork,
and hominy all boiled together.) I
thoroughly enjoyed it! haha
7. Having time yesterday to clean the apartment.
6. I was able to do the baptism interview for a
75 yr old woman named Cecilia. It was
really special experience. The lord has
definitely prepared her for the gospel. She
was baptized in the Cushing ward on Saturday, and that was the first baptism
that ward has had in years.
5. Emails today! It sounds like you had a wonderful time in
California!
4. We have 2 priesthood blessings this week. The power of God is real!
3. I think I'll have to go back to last night's
experience. In our conversation with
this group of people a man had his own copy of the B.o.M that he's had for
years and he said "I've read this book, and it doesn't talk about Christ
anywhere! Show me one place where it
talks about Christ!" So we did :) I know the principles in D&C 11:21 correct
and true.
2. I was on exchanges in Cushing, and we Okie
talked with 3 people that were drunk out of their mind. If you want to laugh, talk to a drunk Okie.
1. Getting
to go to temple on Saturday as Justin Duren received his endowment before he
left for his misson!
Dad to
answer your question, Robin and Michelle's date is for June 21st. Their situation got a little more interesting
this past week. Michelle kicked Robin
out, and he's now living in a homeless shelter. Soooo we're trying to figure out the best way
to go about teaching the both of them and having the both of them come to
church, while at the same time keeping the peace between them.
This Sunday
too the Flowers family came to church! I'm not sure if I've told you much about
them... they were found a month before I came into the area, and were baptized
the Sunday before I got here. They
didn't get confirmed until a week and a half later, because they wouldn't come
to church so we got them to come down on a Wednesday night. Since their baptism they hadn't come to church.
My personal opinion is that their
baptism was one of those "I'm going home, so we need to baptize them
now!" on the part of the missionary that was here before me, rather than
"what's best for flowers family?" Anyways, they came to church for the first
hour, which was a mini miracle. The next
hurdle to climb is to have them stay for the 2nd and 3rd hour, because they
haven't ever stayed for those, even when they were investigating the church.
I love you
all lots, and I continue to pray for you! Keep on with the CPR! Going to Church, saying your Prayers, and
Reading the scriptures!
