Crazy week!

                                      Elder Neubert and Me

Hello there family!
How are ya'll doing? Life out here is so good. I love being on a mission and being able to serve My Heavenly Father. There is no greater blessing i have come to realize. This week has been really good. We met with Mary and Danielle last night and we had a very spiritual lesson with them. We taught them the Restoration for the 4th time. They are still trying to grasp the Joseph Smith story but we are making progress. We sat down with them and watched Special Witnesses of Christ and listened to the Prohet and Apostles speak. I feel the spirit so much when I hear them speak. And i know that the Holy Ghost is giving me that second testimony that i need to know that they are True Disciples of Christ. So i Read a really good chapter in the Book of Alma that really hit me hard. It was so spiritual for me. ALMA 7. I Love the book of Alma. I love serving with a greenie. They have so much fire it is ridiculous. I miss my greenie fire but i do catch it every so often. Last night we ate dinner at our bishops house. He has the 2nd coolest family ever(ya'll occupy #1) but we had white chili and cornbread and then after that we had a good spiritual thought and then we watched the deer at sunset. It was such a fun night. So something crazy happened a couple days ago. A tornado hit like a mile away from our apartment. We were like 2 miles away when it happened. It was crazy. We were in the rain storm when it happened and we had to go stay in a grocery store for like an hour 'til the storm calmed down. It was fun. So I think im getting transfered. We get calls on Saturday. I don't wanna leave i like it here but i get the feeling and i have prayed about it but haven't got a definite answer. So i am feeling way spiritual right now and i just wanna leave ya'll with my Testimony of the Son of the LIving God, I know HE lives and i know that He is the Savior of the World. I know that through HIM and only Through HIM can we make it back to our Heavenly Father to live in a Mansion that has been prepared for us since the foundation of the World. I love ya'll and hope ya'll have a wonderful week. LOVE YOU Elder Schwendiman

So we are also teaching a guy named Chess and he only has one eye and he is one of the most humble guys i have met in a long time. We taught him about the Book of Mormon and just about God and he says everytime we knock he gets the chills and i told him that it was the Holy Ghost. He is doing quite well, he just cant read cuz his eye but we are getting him the Book of Mormon on CD soon so that should be good. We are teaching 4 college kids from Middle Tennessee State University. They are so cool. Thats all the potoential baptisms for April except for Mary and Danielle. So keep all them in ya'lls prayers. Here is a few pics. Ill be sending my card home tomorrow. The one with me and Elder Neubert is the bib one. ha ha Dinner at bishops. oh and i got a real haircut yesterday. Cool huh? Feels so good. have a good week mom. I LOVE YOU Your Missionary 
Time fly's when your having fun. I got through the brick wall i hit. Things are going very well. A lot better than when they were a month ago. Im glad Trey is doing well. I love that kid and im so glad he is out on his mission. So ill tell you how i met mary.  Its pretty cool and then ya'll can share it with them fam. If thats okay. I know i suck at email. i'll get better. Im just not a big fan of details. Thats something i'll work on for the next year. Okay so me and Elder Neubert were biking in the rain and it was freezing and we needed to get shelter before our stuff got ruined so we look over and there is this black guy standing in a breezway so we went over by him to get cover. Well it got really awkward and he stared me down and i stared him down and then i told him a i was a missionary and i wanted to teach him and his family. He let us in and there was 9 people in the house and we taught them all at once and now it has just sifted down to Mary and Danielle who by the way are doing very well. Still coming to church. but thats about it. Love ya dad oh elder neubert is awesome. He is such a hard worker and he loves missionary work. Its crazy that the transfer is almost over. Have a good week.

(We got three emails from Dallin today... family, mom and Dad, so I thought I would share all three)

Hi

Okay so this week has just been off the wall. okay not really but it was a pretty good week. We met with Mary and Danielle and Lamont and his wife.(all part of the fam) last night and taught them all about the book of mormon. Lamont is straight gangster. ha ha He paid 3200 dollars to have a permanant gold grill put in. and He weighs about 350 pounds but he really likes feeling the spirit and now he can recognize when it is present. We didn't end up going out with President but we did go with the Assistants. that went really well. We are going out with them again tonight. We are going to try and set a date with Mary and her family. That would be 4 baptisms right there so pray for them. Other than that this week hasn't been too eventful. Did you get a call from Talia Jurinsky. She said she was going to call ya'll but once again i love ya'll and i don't need anything at this time. I got all the packages (yours, grandma's and susie's)so im all good there. Love ya'll and hil you look so gorgeous in ya'lls pics. Have fun!
Dallin

Birthday's already!

Happy Birthday to MOm and Hil!
I love you both. Mom i wont say how old you are but hill i cant believe ya'll are 17. Thats nuts. So this week has been rough ha ha only cuz it has rained 5 days straight without any letting up it seems like. we have had a lot of rain. So we had a mom and a daughter come to church with us yesterday. We met them on Saturday. We are going to set a date with them for the 28 or 29th not sure but Pray for mary and Danielle Hathoway. Thanks for the Meds. They really helped me out a lot. So george and melissa got dropped. We went over the baptismal questions and they are both on Probation for some crazy stuff so it would be at least 1 year before they can get baptized but we are still going to teach them because we cant lose hope on them yet. ya know. oh so elder and sister Jeppeson From clarksville go home in 2 weeks. Im so mad. ha ha they were so amazing. Im gonna give them ya'lls address so they can come see you. K? They live in provo. So i think im going on Exchanges with President Hutchings on Friday after District meeting. Im so excited for it. Hopefully we have a full night for him. So other than that not too much is going on. We are having so much fun, Me and Elder Neubert get along really well together. So i love you all and mom and hil there are cards for ya'll in the mail today. Hope ya'll like em.
Love Dallin

Happy Birthday G'ma

Hey ya'll! nice try dad. Ya'll are gettin it. So this week has been really nice. It has been high 70's all week and will be this week. So last night we slept over at elder bennetts apartment and me and him slept outside on the balcony. It was sweet. Never again tho. It was so loud and everyone was up around the neighborhood. ha ha Oh mom about my hair, its way to long to do anything else. Im getting it cut tomorrow so i will be just fine. So this week we didn't have the best week. A lot of finding and we are now teaching 3 new families who will be baptized in the comings weeks. George and Melissa, Melissa and Greg, and Erica and Casey. They are so sweet. All in their 20's so they should be good at keeping commitments. Allergies have been destroying me. I was sick all this week. Lost my voice for 2 days and just feel drained of energy all the time. I feel so much better. Spring here for anyone is killer. Thats what i have been told. Hilary looks so old. Its not fair. KEEP AN EYE ON THAT GIRL! ha ha Thats so good to hear about trey. He looks so different in the pics. Thats the first pic i have seen of him since i have left.He looks so different. GOOD different. Give him a big hug for me when ya see him next. Thats too bad that the gollahers are moving. That makes me sad as all get out. Tell em i love em and ill come see them at their house when i can. That means me and lando wont be in the same ward anymore. LAMO sauce.  Well my companion,elder NEubert is only 19. He just has a crap ton of facial hair. Its ridiculous. ha ha he has to shave twice a day poor kid. Love him but thats all folks.... love ya'll and i will try and write this week if possible.
LOve Dallin
Hey mom will you tell Your mom happy birthday for me. I know its coming up soon and i don't think i can get a letter there quick enough and i never got those Cd's that ya'll sent.

My New Companion and the Snow!

                                        My Good Buddy Elder Boswell

                                         8" of snow in Murfreesboro!

It's Snowing in Tennessee!!

Hey ya'll! This week was just been flippin nuts! So i love my boy. He is from Huntington Beach California. He is the smartest kids, has the strongest testimony and he is pre-trained. He is straight as an arrow tooI will probably only be with him for 6 weeks (mission politics) The want the Best of the Best as soon as they can get them. Can ya'll believe I have been a District Leader for half my mission already. Its getting Buckwild! We are having a lot of success. Mikes baptism was so amazing. Brother warrick baptized him. So yesterday church was cancelled! ya I know right. It snowed 8 inches and no one in Tennessee knows what to do when it snows. When they even think snow is going to happen they run to the store and take all the milk and bread. Its pretty entertaining. So we went to Murray KY on saturday to help out with the ice storm again. we had a good time. Last night we went to a fireside in Franklin TN and we gotta see Jay and David Osmond (Jay, an original osmond brother) perform.  It was sweet. We talked for a little bit afterwards. They are really cool guys. Amazing singers. Oh, and Dan Truman(Diamond Rio) was there was well. He played while david sang. So much fun. There were like somewhat 200 investigators that came to it. It was good but other than that not too much is happening. I haven't heard from anyone since Christmas but hey its all parta the deal. um the only one i hear from is Gregorian! BFF Haven't heard from him in a couple weeks, ya'll know how he is doing? Hope ya'll have a good week. I love love love ya'll so much. ya'll mean the world to me
Love Dallin
