My boring week!

Hi there, This week was really boring. Not a whole lot going on. IT was a really long week and im having a lot of comp issues. I don't know if i told you or not but we did in fact set a date with amber. She is getting baptized on the 5th of September. Im really stoked about that. We have a few new families that we are teaching. A Samoan family and a Jamaican Family. They both are incredible. The Samoan family gave me and E' Lava lava. ITs so nice. Its from Samoa. So today for P-Day we got to go on Fort Campbell Military Base and take a tour of the BlackHawk and the chanook helicopters. That was so much fun. Our whole district got to do it. Im sending my card home this week. It has like 200 pics on it so ya. I think next week we are planning on going golfing on Post(base). That will be sicky. I went on exchanges with one of the Zone Leaders this week for 3 days. That was so much fun. We got more done than me and my comp have in the last month. They were seeing if I would be capable of taking over the area and I got a thumbs up. So hopefully I get a new comp and stop being a greenie! its sucks being trained. I still get treated like a little kid and that drives me insane. We also had interviews this week with president. That was good. I got an excellent on the planner. IM a "preachmygospel missionary" he said. We mostly talked about lake powell and we reminissed about life back home. It was really fun but other than that nothing happened. Hope ya'll had a good week.

Love your missionary

Hi Ho Hi Ho... It's off to work I go

Hi MOm and family
THis week has gone by really fast. Im not in an emailing mood for some reason today but ill write you guys cuz i love ya'll. So pretty much the amackers baptism is post-poned for another week. Tiffany started smoking again so that is not good. But i got a lot of faith in her and i have prayed day in and day out, night and day for her and her family. I know they will come around. But we have a golden investigator now. She is so awesome. Amber Jarnigan is her name. We are setting a date with her today. She has a blind son who is seven. HE is hilarious. The only reason she comes to church is cuz scott(her blind son) loves primary. So that is really good. This week has been crazy. Friday morning i got a call at 5:00 am. IT was elder Whiting. He was in agonizing pain. We went over to his house and he called the mission doctor to see what he should do. The doctor told us to take him to the ER. He had apendisitus. We spent all-day friday in the ER. He spent a couple of nights in the hospital and now he is in the mission home recovering. He is doing so good and he will be back to work in 1 week. I have been sick this week. Its so lame. but everything is going amazing.
Im so so so so jealous that you are going to lake powell. ha ha I got to catch a few glimps's of the olympics. We were teaching this 475 lb guy tommy. He is HUGE. but he would not turn off the olympics for anything so i watch guys volleyball and Kerry walsh and Misty May-Treanor play. THey are ridiculously good. Thats cool Taylor is home. Im not one bit jealous. Me and him talked a little but through email and he sent me a bunch of ties like 2 months ago. Can you believe i have been out for almost 3 months. Time is zipping by. Thats so sweet that you and all the moms hang out. Thats gotta be a lot of fun. and you and jodi are gonna kill at bowling. that will be so fun. I think i get to go to the temple next month so im really really excited for that. I miss going. I think i took the temple for granted a little bit. but i will cherish every moment that im there. I love getting packages. i have SO much candy stocked up. im pretty sure it will last another month. but i have gotten all the packages so far. did you want me to send the player and the tape home or just the tape? I love hearing you guys talk. It was a lot of fun hearing everyone. But i love you so so so so so much and i appreciate everything you do for me! Love your missionary

Hi Momma

HI momma
This week so so amazing. The work here in clarksville is boosting. our zone in august will have i think like 15 baptisms. ITs so sweet. so we taught Tiffany and Philip the Word of Wisdom. Its was so scary. Tiffany hasn't smoked anything in 6 days or drank coffee or tea. She is solid. Philip has no desire to stop smoking but tiffany and cheyene are still gonna get baptized even if philip wont right now. Hopefully he will see the importance of being sealed together forever. We had a lady named Amber come to church with her blind son Scott. She said she would come only if people would be nice to her son and if anything felt outta place she was going to leave. Her son loved church and he asked mom if they could come back and she said yes. He sang to me the other day. He sang "i can only imagine" by mercy me. I started to cry. It was so touching. So about the package not getting to me. It has been sitting in the office for like 13 days. How lame is that. Sister Blackwell is getting it for me tommorow because she works in the same complex. But i will have it tommorrow so no worries. This next week is gonna be boomin. We have so many set appointments and we have no time to contact or anything. Time is starting to go by faster and faster. Its kinda weird but ya. I love being out here. Its so much fun. On wednesday we are donating blood. I cant wait. I love giving blood. Well me and my comp are getting along ok but i have been praying hard every night so that we can get along good the next day. THe other day he made me so mad trying to be funny and not giving me the phone so i could call president. It was driving me insane. But we're all good now. I love you so much. How was your week? Anything exciting going on this week? ha ha Tell hilary congrats for me. She is such an amazing girl. Give parker my love and tell both of them ill send a letter this week. I got the news letter, thanks so much. sounds like everyone is doing good. i always have nutso weeks. Oh wait everyweek is like that. we always have so much going on we forget to see some people or do service. But we are getting setteled down. President is putting a lot of pressure on the mission right now. Me and him are always talking about things concerning the mission. He is such a great president. We cant watch tv on our missions. Its against the rules but you are more than welcome to keep me posted on them. I would really love that. My bike is all fixed and good. I did a tune up on it myself. It runs so good now. It would have cost another 55 dollars to get a tune up. YEAH RIGHT I love you guys so muchwell i love you. One LoveYour Missionary

Stupid Dog!

Hi mom
Last week was really cool. Amackers have a baptism date for the 24th of August so its coming up pretty quick we just need to teach them the word of wisdom first and then everything will be all swell. They are so amazing. I love them so much. So we were over at their house on friday and we were teaching her a lesson and after we were done talking to her, tiffany looked at cheyenne and asked her if she wanted to be baptized in "mom and dads church", that one blew me away. We hadn't asked cheyenne to be baptized yet because she wasnt home when we asked tiffany and philip. I was so happy when she asked cheyenne that. cheyenne said that she had already been baptized before. We asked her if she wanted to be in 1st place, 2nd place or 3rd place. Of course she said 1st place. Well we explained to her the kindoms of heaven and the celestial kindom is "1st place" so to speak and we told her that she had to be baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to be in 1st place and then she told us that she would be baptized. That one really got her good. Well nothing too exciting happened this week except i biffed on my bike. Not bad just both of my tires are bent. Biking at night is so scary around here. A pit bull made me wreck but I chased him off. So today i have to go buy new tire frames or see if they can fix them for me. The work is going so good out here. time is not taking forever anymore. ITs pretty much just coasting by. I havent gotten any packages yet. its kinda weird. The mail system in clarksville is kinda ghetto. Ill pray that it gets here soon. well i love you and the family so much. Hilary that is so cool that you got into alta. I prayed for you that you would. Its kinda interesting out here what you learn. i have learned to live off prayer. anything you need, as long as you ask in faith you will recieve. I love you so much hilary. Parker, how is the new job coming? Making good money at all? well keep your head on your shoulders and keep your head up. I love you so much Park. I love you mom with all my heart.
Love your Missionary
