Hey there best friends!

Hey there best friends!
So this week has been so hot. ITs been 80's non stop and will be til the end of September now. so i will get a sweet sweet tan line. So update on bailey, she is so amazing. We did set the Date for her birthday so that will be so awesome. We went and taught her on friday and she understands all about joseph smith and the authority that was given to him to start the church, and she knows it was given to her by God. She also came to church on sunday and everyone loves her so she will definately get baptized. I love seeing someone come into the gospel. Its really gonna change her life and her families life as well. We are also gonnna set a baptism date with Jon Long. He is such a cool guy he is in his late 50's and we took someone over there with us to teach him and now they are really good friends so we will see what happens. We taught him the same way we taught bailey and he totally understands. We will set the date for the 16th of May. Mom i so cant wait to here your voice. Its always so nice to hear your voice on the other line. So i have found a new love on my mission. It is FROLF! iit is the funnest game in the world. They have like real courses here and its so much fun. We usually play like 36-54 holes every week. Its free too.

Hilary congrats on the Golfing. You are such an amazing sister. You are definately living up to God's standard in Matthew 25! Read it its a good chapter. Parker that sounds like the company is doing very well. You have always had the brains. I think i got half of what you got and half of what Hil has. Half the brains and half the talent! ha ha Jk and dad im just fine. I don't need anything. im what they call a "want" person. I don't have too many needs but my wants list is ginormous! but im trying to stay within my means. Im going to be "diligent dallin" ha ha Oh and mom you are totally on. Im pretty good now at being obedient. Its hard but its fun as well so have fun this week and we will go from there. and how about i write you a long hand written letter regardless of winning or losing.. deal?!

Sweet Week!

HEy #1 fam!
    So this week has been phenominal (big words make me sound smart).  Okay so I gotta go to the Temple on Wednesday. There is no better place than the House of the Lord. I love going there because I get to recieve knowledge and understanding i would never learn anywhere else. So yesterday we Had zone conference. I love Zone Conference. Its such a spiritual power house meeting. its also very humbling at the same time. We gotta practice teaching some members so that we could learn how to pump referrals outta them so we can get more people to teach. Its really cool that you can teach a member of the Church a simple lesson and get 5-6 referrals outta them of who they think needs the gospel. We are learning to be very tactful in our teaching. Oh here is a stat for you, Our mission is the Second highest baptizing mission in the East. Florida is First but we are not far behind them. So we set a baptism date with a girl Bailey yesterday. Ill tell you how we met her. Well there is a very old lady in our ward Sis. Phelps(muder), well i got the impression to go see her and when we went over to see her, her great granddaughter was over there (Bailey) and she was like Bailey hasn't been baptized yet and we want her to take the lessons. It was one of those that kinda fall in your lap. But anyway we are going to teach her twice a week until the 8th of May which is her birthday and thats the day we wanna baptize her. Its gonna be so good. We just have to be obedient if we want her baptized. Well I love you all. My camera is doing just fine, Ill start putting the date on the camera again. I just didn't like it but i will put it on there. Hope all is well and if there is anything that I can do on my end please let me know. I know I'm 1700 miles away but i have my ways. I love you all.
One love Elder Dallin Schwendiman

We just received this letter... it's amazing! Bro Fujita is the ward mission leader in Murfreesboro

Happy Easter

Hey there Fam! 
i couldn't be happier right now. So yesterday we went to the Dunda families house for Easter and had like funeral potatoes and ham and salad and desert(mom she does lettering but i don't know the company name but she knows all about yours, its a bookmark on her computer) they are such a cool family. We had a lot of fun and then we watched "to this end was i born" Such a good movie. And then we visited 2 other members of the ward. IT was a really good Easter but not like back home. Just another holiday. But im Just livin a dream! So we are teaching this lady named Tammy! She is such an awesome lady. She has a drinking problem but slowly disolving. We are going to set a baptism date with her on Tuesday night for the 30th of this month. She is so ready. She knows the book of Mormon is true and she is praying to know if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. She will find her answer. So the reason this week has gone by so well is that we have been 100% obedient. ITs so much fun. We live in the best area, with a good ward, best apartment(3 bedroom, 2 bath, kitchen and living room.) its awesome and Elder Moses is such a funny kid. He is like 5'6" and just really funny. He has been out like 5 months or something like that. We are having a lot of fun but obedient Fun. Okay so about the President Hutchings Breakfast. Nothing to be worried about. The bad news first. He was disappointed in me and Elder Beck for not baptizing more. Understandable. He just expected more outta us. But i am not District Leader anymore. Im a regular missionary. Such a relief for the moment. Good News. President wants me to go Zone Leader next transfer. All i gotta do is baptize this transfer and he will put me there. So im being obedient as i can, so i don't let him or the Lord down. ITs all gonna work out for the better. Thanks for handling the money situation. Im still trying to get rid of what i call "I like I buy" problem. well um let see, So I'm halfway done with the Book of Mormon. IT gets so discouraging at times cuz i just wanna finish but i wanna get as much outta it that i can. But Onward and upward right? ha ha i know. Ill get through it. Easy as pie. IM so jealous that ya'll went the St. Geezy without me ha ha okay im really not. but still. Did ya'll love it? i bet ya did.  I love ya'll so much and im glad that ya'll are my support system. Best one there is. I have yet to find a fault in it. so thanks for all ya'll do for me. My prayers are with you always! IM so glad to be a servant in my Father in Heavens vineyard. I love my Heavenly Father with all my heart! Have a great week.
Love Elder Schwendiman

Bowling Green Kentucky...

Hey there fam. THis week has been crazy busy and more nuts than any week in my mission. Okay to start it off Thursday we had more tornado's, that was sweet, Friday President Hutchings drove to Murf to take me and elder Beck to breakfast. He had a few things to talk to us about both good and bad. So We looked over numbers and stats and all that jazz, Well the meeting lasted 2 hours. All in all it was a very good meeting and we got a lot accomplished. Okay, so im getting transferred to Bowling-Green Kentucky. My comp will be Elder MOSES ha ha nuts huh. He has so gigantic shoes to fill! This transfer has gone by really fast. And the Conference was one of the best things that has happened to me on my mission. I never ever feel the spirit so strong than listening to a man who has the keys to seal whatever thing on earth as well as in heaven. President Monson is such an amazing man. Jefferey R Holland is by far my favorite apostle... If I'm aloud to say that. He gave such an incredible talk on the Atonement. I love being a missionary and seeing the change in myself from where I was 2 years ago to where I am today and thats all thanks to the atonement of my Savior. I love ya'll and I will write a letter with more details and with the new address. I love ya'll so much 

Love Elder Schwendiman
