Hey there schwendy fam
This week has been so nutso. IM being kicked outta Nashville. Its so stupid, i wanted to stay here forever. but whatev. Im going now to the Franklin Zone to Serve with Elder Rigby ha ha yes my 2nd boy, still a ZL ha ha its super weird serving with my boys twice. we are gonna have so much fun though. So last night i went over to the Andersons(tim and connie) to go say my last goodbye to them and i was so sad to leave them. they are my closest friends i think on my mission. they are such a cool family. IM def gonna come back to visit them. So as far as missionary work her in Nashville is going we have 11 people we are actively teaching at the moment and 5 of them came to church. Its been a long time since i have had that many people at church. it stinks im leaving when so much is going on. Neubert is gonna set all the dates this week. :( lame sauce but my bishop in Spring Hill owns a couple of sonic's so now i get more half off food, he also does our dry cleaning and buys our groceries ha ha but im only gonna be there for 6 weeks,i have requested to train my last couple of transfers and president said he could work it out that way so im pretty stoked. Elder Neubert is scared to be the Lead ZL in the area, he is getting a freshy(7months) so he should be alright. I have a really good Zone that im going to, but im not going to get attached to the ward cause im leaving it soon anyway. so all i have to do is work hard and stay under the radar! but other than that life is super good. We hung out with President this morning in his office and we were looking/playing around with his board. ha ha it was fun but i love ya'll and hope all is blessed. God bless AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

Hey there Fam.
This week has been super busy but really not a whole lot to report on. The first part of the week was really boring and slow. We have spent a lot of our time trying to find people on bishops list that he doesn't know and knocking a lot of doors. I love tracting for some reason. I wish we did it more often. we have found a couple of people we are consistantly teaching now and we should be setting a couple of dates here in a minute. On tuesday night we had such a kickin meeting with our ward mission leader and assistant ward mission leader and all the ward misisonaries about how we are going to run this ward ha ha we have set up a plan on paper of how all the members this year will receive a PMG member visit. Its so tight and our WM's are going to take care of all the scheduling for us so that takes quite a bit off our plate. We have exchanges every week at least 4-5 people come out with us every week. its so much fun. We meet on a regular basis to talk about who we teach and who they are finding. I love this ward because everyone is so headstrong its crazy. I spent half the week in smithsprings with our district leaders and we had so much fun. The 1st thing we taught people was our belief in the GodHead. John 14:1 is the best way that i have found to depict the separation of God the Father and Christ. Yesterday we went to the church and Played "Desert Limb" Nerf battle war. ha ha it so tight. We have like 10 guns between us and the Spanish Zl's and the other missionaries that came and played. If you get shot in any limb, that body part goes limp and is useless, 1 head shot your dead and 2 body shots and your out. its so much fun. We played in the primary/nursery room that has 4 dividers and we had like chairs and tables set up to hide behind. it was so much fun but im as sore as "a no-legged man climbing a rope" ha ha my body is super sore but i love ya'll and hope ya'll have a good week. May God be with Ya'll Always

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA ha ha you thought i would forget!!!!!!!!! I love you and hope you had a good 55th 25th birthday. Love you always

Colder than a popsicle in the Artic!!

hey there my eskimo family!
The white people and black people are freezing out here. Its so cold. this week the lows for 4 days was 9 degrees. IT SNOWED HAHAHAHAHA we got an inch of beauty. oh and it didn't help that the mission had to park all the cars for a couple of days so we look like a couple of taliban members walking in the streets, all you can see is our eyeballs. It was kinda funny that nobody waved to us. but we stayed warm. I was on exchanges this week and the elder I was with, i took him walking 5 miles in the freezing cold. ha ha it sucked but was super good times. So on monday i went to the Cheese Cake Factory for lunch with Elder Humrich and tanner. they are sweet. I got a fatty burger and then a Dulce De Leche caramel cheese cake that was off the hook. i love that place but its too expensive for mission status. So for my birthday it was just like any other birthday on the mission just full of missionary work. I don't feel any different being 21 than a did at 20. Im still legal to do anything as a Mormon. ha ha i can't even rent a freakin car. thats such a lame rule. Today we are having a big DLC with our district leaders and we are going to the church to have a giant NERF war. Its gonna be kickin. but thats about it for the week not too much going on right now cause we are adjusting to some new policies that the mission has put out and some new regulations. but we will adjust quickly and then move on. but i love ya'll and hope yall have a blessed week.

Zone P-day in Nashville

Good snowy morning family.

When i got up this morning it was snowing but not the Utah snowing. the snow here is featherweight and when it hits the ground it disappears but its still snowing. This whole week has been in the high teens low 20's. It super cold right now but thank goodness we have a car or i would not have ears, a nose or lips. Im alsmost as cold as Audrey on Christmas vacation when they go cut down the thpirit of the grithwald family chrithmath tree! ha ha she looks ridiculously cold. but this week has been a lot of fun. We set 2 baptism dates with this girl melissa and her 9 year old daughter. its so sweet. she really likes the book of mormon but she is hard to get a hold of so we will see what happens. We had a really good 1st discussion with her and she really felt the spirit and you could totally see her countenance change. Thats one of the most rewarding things as a missionary is seeing someones life change right before your eyes. its happened to me several times and i want more and more of those to come. On friday we had a freakin huge party with the whole zone. There were 16 missionaries and we played volleyball, basketball, pakistani one ball, and we watched "Wall-E" twice ha ha that is one of the funniest movies i have seen. elder haire said it was one of the stupidest movies but he is just too big boy for those movies. my favorite line is "if you want it, come and get it blinky" ha ha i died laughing the whole movie. I love the fat people more than anything. President Funded dinner for us so we had some really good pizza and we funded the drinks and the popcorn. Saturday we had Zone Leaders council which was off the hook. We had a lot of doctrinal based lessons and then we play a couple of games to teach us lessons. it was so ballin. oh ya mom Elder Rigby is now a ZL ha ha both my boys are ZL's. i wanna aks president if i can at least train 1 more time before i go home. that is the funnest thing to do as a missionary. but thats about it. today im treating myself to a nice lunch at the CheeseCake factory of GreenHills ha its gonna be so good. Im gonna get me some terimisue cheescake and all that good stuff. but i love ya'll hope ya'll had a blessed New Years. can you believe its 2010 already? that blows my mind. but hey i love you and take care and may God bless all ya'll forever.
