Way Cool!

Dear Family, 
Hi~ How are ya'll doin this beautiful mornin? Its such a good day here in kentucky. NIce and warm with a slight overcloud. This last week has been phenominal. As you well know i was not on my side of bowlingGreen for a whole week. What a relief, ha ha it was good though. There was a lot of success in all areas this week but at the same time there needed to be oposition, so there was a lot of trial, and un-success as well. So for the first exchange(tuesday-friday) I was with Elder Davis and we got a lot accomplished except for Thursday morning and afternoon. He was sicker than a cow in a swamp. I mean the kid set a world record for consecutive hours slept. He slept from 10:00 Pm Wednesday,-5:00 PM THursday. I have never been so bored in all my days. I was so bored that i build giant tower outta pass-along cards, i made some pictures for Lesson 3 in Preach my gospel, I read 15 chapters in the BOM, I ate some food, I listened to 10 different CD's, it wasn't too bad, but we went out that night and got 3 new investigators and 2 lessons, so that was a good flipside to it. We had planning session with the spanish so there were 10 missionaries having planning sesh in one apartment, it went pretty well, just a whole lot of A.D.D goin on ya know. Saturday was probably one of the funnest exchanges i have been on, ME and Elder Paddock went down to Franklin, KY and spent the whole day with brother Divens on an Exchange. He is such a "treky" ha ha we were driving all around in his dodge stealth, we went and saw this 85 year old black lady who has Alzheimers she is so funny, she is like 10 second Tom off 50 first dates, she was sportin some sun glasses that i was wearing ha ha she looked adorable. We also went to this family, the Boohers. They are way country and i got some pics with horses and all that jazz but i have mis-placed my camera cord for the time being so i will get those to ya'll in a jiff.We didn't end up getting home til 10:15 pm becuase it was so far away and we didn't get outta the last appointment til 9:30 pm. So overall this week was bomb. I was so proud of elder Rigby this week. He set another baptism date with this girl paige, for September 19th so that should be good. We had 12 non-members at church on sunday. THats the most i have had on my mission, it was so cool. 2 of them showed up outta nowhere. The daughter Betsy, lived in Skagway for a time, so we talked about that and she told us that she was investigating the church, so we will start teaching her next sunday. Lowery's all came, Stephanie and shelby come, it was a really good meeting, one of the speakers talked about change and how important change is to be eternally progressing. Brenda, josh, and rachel are still scheduled for this weekend, the others say they are not ready so in due time. September should be a really good month as well. So the ward is really helping out now, they finally trust us a missionaries, We have set up 11 family mission plans in the last week, we had 2 dinnners with investigators there, a family made us brownies last night, and Bishop Fed us and gave us referrals. What a week. I love being a missionary. THere is nothing greater then serving the One True and LIving God. Oh ya mom i will have that survey done this week and try and get it back to ya'll. I love ya'll with all my heart and im grateful for ya'lls love.

One Love
Elder Schwendy
