07/19/2010 Letter

Hey everyone,

This week was a pretty crazy one we had all of those leadership meetings up in Columbia. So I spent the whole last week at meetings in the day and proselyting their area at night then sleeping on my new air mattress. Haha all I have to say is at least I didn’t have to sleep on the straight ground the whole week we got those air mattresses because we now have
those meeting every other month an we still have to do all of our normal other exchanges so they will come in handy quiet a bit. The meetings went really well we really didn’t learn anything new we just learned everything we sort of already know and how to do it better. We are all trying to move toward exactly how preach my gospel says to do everything. Its crazy we have this great tool and we haven’t been using it to its full capacity man preach my gospel is the bomb and it truly was inspired it really has everything that we need we just need to use it how it was intended to be used.

Another great thing happened this weekend I got to go with Elder Smart my trainer to do a baptismal interview for one of his investigators and we actually got to stay and to see her baptism on Saturday it was really cool. Then after the baptism their ward mission leader who is a really funny old guy took us out to eat at a really good steak and seafood restaurant. Haha he is hilarious he wants us to come up again soon and come and visit him.

We are also teaching some really cool people. We were able to get a hold of the girl that came to church with her friend last week, she has been down in myrtle beach for the week. She has been reading the book of mormon though and says that she feels good when she reads and prays. She was going to go to church down at the beach but she had an emergency happen and she ended up having to go to the hospital but she is doing ok we are really praying that everything is going well. She called us like apologizing she couldn’t go to church and we were like no its fine don’t worry about it are you ok??? But I think everything will be fine we are just looking forward to being able to check up on her and teach her and her family. We also met another really cool 18 year old girl who just moved here from Alabama and she is also going through a lot of medical problems but she is really interested and cool we are looking forward to working with her. We have also been able to teach sis selph this week she has been an investigator for quite a while and has just had trouble stopping smoking but we had a really great lesson with her on Saturday and we were all getting a little emotional and she commited to not smoke at all for the next seven days and so it went well and she is doing good so far she was at church last yesterday.

That’s pretty much it for this last week we have interviews tomorrow so that should go pretty well. Me and Elder Cowan should be giving some good trainings. Well hope all is well I love you all and love especially to hear from you so keep that in mindJ

Love,
