This
week has just flown and I honestly can't tell you all that happened because I
can remember. I am glad that your week seems to have gone well and that you are
having a good time flipping eggs. We have had a couple of things happen this
week one was that we had a Zone Conference which was my last one so I gave a
departing testimony which was weird. I don't know I am now having a bunch of
lasts, like this is my last full week on the mission. Got to stay focused
though and I am. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tomorrow
will be fun because I have my departing interview with President Daines and
then I will lead my last district meeting and I am excited for that. We have a
lot of plans to do finding this week because have no investigators at the
moment. So I will be out in the cold all day everyday and I expect to see some
blessings. Oh and we do have some where to go for Thanksgiving. I will be at
Brother Thackers and it sounds like we will be eating on or with his fine
silver. Last time I ate at his house we ate with silver plated silverware and
had crystal glasses, the man is single and knows what he likes. I try and take
pictures of what his house looks like on the inside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway
all is well over here and I am working hard but I am slowing down but not by
much. Elder Barra is a good companion and he is a energizer bunny. Have a good
week and I will email you on Wednesday then I will talk to you on Friday.<o:p></o:p></div>

This
has been a great week and so much cool stuff happened! We went down to
Chillicothe thanks to one of the Senior couples the Severson's. The baptism
went great and I only had to dunk him once. What made it even cooler was that
Mikes son came to support his dad. That truly was the highlight of the week for
me because Mike had changed so much since I last saw him and he gave me his
email finally.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also
this week was our stake Conference and our ward was assigned to go to the
Mansfield building to watch the broadcast. That was cool because I got go see
some old friends that I had made way back when. So that was really fun and made
me think of all that happened in Mansfield.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week other than those events was really slow and we didn't have a whole lot
happen and that was really hard. It crazy how hard it is to focus near the end
but I am giving a good battle. One thing that helped was we found some speakers
next to the dumpster that were practically brand new, and I didn't feel like it
was there time. So we took them in and plugged them in and long behold they
work really well. They are Magnavox speakers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyways
that was my week and I am looking forward to week we have before us. Stay safe
and keep going on.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week was really fun and we are slowly getting some new investigators. Marion is
an interesting place and is one of the bigger drug centers of Ohio. So many of
the members live in the surrounding towns where the crime is slightly lower. So
the ward boundaries are very big because it has only been a ward for a year and
some. Elder Perry actually served in this area and wanted to come and dedicate
the forming into a ward. Well that's what I heard a while back anyways who
knows what's true these days. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway
the cool spiritual things that happened this week is that we got our
investigator Jamie Boarders to come to church. He seemed to enjoy it and
actually knows some of the members because his mom was a member of the ward. So
that was good and awesome because Elder Barra has never had an investigator
come to church. Good progress! Also I learned that Mike Williamson is moving
forward with Baptism and is on date for the 12 to be baptized. He also wants me
to baptize him so I got permission to go do that from President Daines. So that
will be cool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
That's
all I have for you folks other than that I'm good and happy and very tired. I
think I will sleep for a week. Hope you are all well and that you have good
weather for pictures and all that. Keep up the Faith and keep moving forward.<br />

Sounds
like we are all having crazy weeks that are just all over the place. This week
was so fast and it has all blurred together into one day. The mission is
getting me ready to come home because they gave me this thing called My Plan it
is there way of making me set goals for when I get home. Needless to say
I don't like it. I am glad that all is well with you though and that you are
all safe.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week we have been doing a lot of finding and have had a little success
with that but not a lot. We have a few investigators that are progressing well
for the most part. One of them is a couple that we found while looking for a
former investigator and they are really cool so far. The big struggle right now
is getting people to church because most of them don't have cars and most of
the members don't live in Marion. Just the life of a missionary in Ohio.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other
than that all is going well and Elder Barra and I are getting along great! I
have learned a few things about him. Like he did American folk dancing in High
School and that took him and his group all over the world. So far he likes his
trip to Poland the most. This is going to be a good end to my mission I can
just tell.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One
funny thing that happened last nigh was when we were at a members house for
dinner. She told us about how they went to a party and her daughters went into
a haunted woods thing and got scared really bad. What was really funny was how
she described them runny out of the woods. She said they came running out of
the woods like Slaves. I guess you can make references like that if your black.
We then learned latter from there son that when a black man runs really fast
they call that slave feet. I love the Wall family.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
love you all and I hope you have a great week and that you all stay safe. Thank
you for the package you are sending me but I don't think I am going to vote
this year because I honestly don't know whats going on and I would feel bad
making an uneducated vote. Again love you all and I pray for you all the time.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello
Family,<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week has just flown by for me and for my companion Elder Robison. I was mid
cycle transferred to Chillicothe remember. Elder Kimball is in the Hayden Run
Ward still with Elder Gardner. Anyway sounds like you all had a busy week full
of work and other things. I have a question where is dad putting all this cast
iron stuff he is getting? So this is the week of transfers and there is a bunch
of excitement in the mission.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week we did a lot of finding and I also went on exchanges down in Jackson and
that was crazy. Jackson is a tiny branch of about 20 active members and one of
them is just nuts and I met him on the exchange. Funny thing about him is he is
against marriage and so I shared 1 Corinthians 7:32-34 as a joke and he went
and shared it with the whole branch and started an argument. Hope that doesn't
come back to get me some day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway
Mike is doing good but he is slowing down ever so slightly because he is
worried about slipping away and becoming less active. I don't blame him though
he knows so little of the ward and he has a lot of opposition at home from his
family. But he wants to go to the temple and he says he believes it all. So we
are trying very hard to get him a good fellowshiper from the Ward because he
needs that friend and so far that has been very hard. Tonight we have a lesson
and hopefully we can get a member out with us because we have struggled with
that here. Crazy stuff but I know he can do it just keep in your prayers
please.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am
trying to think of fun things that happened this week and really there are not
many of them. We went on a really interesting street and met a real mean drunk
that was a pastors son. Man that was intense! Oh I don't think I told you this
but here in Chillicothe Ohio there is a paper plant and this week it smelled
especially good as we were out side. It's just a fragrance you just cant get
used to. Its a smell that just keeps on giving, and we love it so much on a
windy day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">

Hello
Family,<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week has just been crazy and full of crazy things just like yours full things
to always keep you busy. This week was great though but it did seem to go a
little slower which always happens as we draw closer to transfers. I however am
loving this area and it is very great and I am lucky I get to finish my mission
here. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week was really cool because we had interviews with the mission President
and his wife. They did it differently then they have in the past because they
came to every missionaries apartment and interviewed and inspected. Well they
would have inspected our apartment if they weren't really behind schedule. It
was good as usual and I learned so good insightful things about my district.
Like the fact that the Jackson Elders have been living in an apartment that was
flooded and it has not been fixed for little over a year now. So the floor had
to be ripped up and carpet replaced and it still smells like a bad case of
mildew and mold. The places people will live.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also
we went to The Ohio State campus to do new missionary follow up training and
that was good. It was exactly like the last one I went to with Elder Kimball so
I was really bored but Elder Robison had fun and thats what is important
because it was for him and his group. That meeting took a long time plus the
two hours there and back so we were dead by the time we got home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
most exciting thing that happened this week however was that Mike accepted a
day to be baptized and the day is the 29 of October. It was funny because we
had a lesson planned and we were determined to have him accept a day to be
baptized. However we walked into his house and had a great lesson and walked
out and got in our car and slapped our heads and said how did that happen! So
the next day we went by his house and he came out and we asked him to be
baptized with out a moment hesitation. It worked out and he came to all 3 hours
of church on Sunday and he seemed to enjoy it so that was great.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That
was my week and I am so excited for Mike to get baptized at the end of this
week. I hope you all have a great week and that you don't go crazy. Love you
all and President Daines said to not make me trunky by giving me a count down.
But if you want to send me the flight schedule you can because that should be
coming soon if you don't already have it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello
Family,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
has been a really fast week for me and my companion and I am just scared by how
fast time is going. Sounds like mom got the job and is liking it, thats really
cool! Sorry to hear that Emma was out of the job for a while over false
accusations. That is why the Missionary Handbook says be extremely cautious
around little children. Anyway it sounds like all for the most part is well
back there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
mission is going great and was made even better with the approach of General
Conference. This week we had a few lessons and had exchanges also had zone
training meeting. It has been a very eventful week, full of preparation for the
up coming Conference on Saturday. What was really cool was all our preparation
for our investigators worked and Mike Williamson came to the Saturday and
Sunday morning sessions, and he loved it. He came and we gave him something to
take notes with and he took a ton of notes. After the Sunday afternoon session
we went by to talk to him and he said he couldn't wait to come again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We
are so excited by all that is happening with our investigator Mike. We are also
excited because we continue to find people and they seem interested in meeting
with us and turning there lives around. We just met a couple on Saturday night
and they were awesome. There names are Ryan and Aleise, and I cant wait to meet
with them because Ryan came out and new a lot of the Restoration already! He
even said he was writing down our appointment on his calendar and we didn't
even have to prompt him too. So that was cool and there have been several other
experiences like that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
funny thing that happen this week was at General Conference. The Winfield
family was there and they brought there kids with them. One of them came up to
me and asked if I would let the other Elders "Rocket Jump" him, or in
other terms he wanted them to pick him up so he could put a ball somewhere
high. I asked him why he was asking me, and he responded because they said you
are there boss. It was really funny and through it all we all really confused
this poor 5 year old kid but it was really funny and very cute. Those other
Elders are a bunch of punks!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway
all is going great and we are having success because the Lord is guiding us and
showing us the way. This work would go no where if the spirit was not here
pulling us along the whole time. I hope you all have a great week and that you
workaholics don't run yourselves into the ground. Love you all very much!<o:p></o:p></div>

and pathetic.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Haha
I am glad that I was able to make you all laugh by making up a funny nickname
for myself. My companion didn't even know that I called myself that when I
first moved in. Now as for me and my companion we are getting along great and
are working very hard in this area. I like it here and the members are nice but
this is going to be one of those areas where I wont be feed a lot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
like the mini van for the most part which is good because we drive everywhere
because we have a large area. We also live pretty far from the nearest
neighborhood and to bike would spell disaster to anyone. This area is very rich
in history with native Americans and with church history. I am hopping that one
of these p-days we will be able to go on one of the many hiking trails near us.
Chillicothe is nice also because its not flat and we have small mountains not
to far. There just a little higher than a thousand feet, but its nice to be in
an area thats not completely flat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
area is so far is been really good and we are finding tons of new people but we
are having the same old problem of getting them to the return appointments that
we set up with them. So far our most progressing investigator is Aaron
Williamson and we have been able to meet with him a couple of times and he is
moving along well. We just need to get him to come to church but have not been
successful so far. He also has just come up with a concern and we hope to
resolve it soon. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
cool thing that happened this week is we were walking to go see one of the
other investigators that the missionaries taught before they both got moved
out. While we were walking she pulled up and started talking to us. She wanted
us to start coming over again because she missed meeting with the missionaries.
Then she referred us to go see her neighbor because she had been talking to her
about how church could help her. It was cool to see and investigator that
wanted to talk to us and that was doing missionary work. So we hope to meet
with the neighbor Emily again because she wasn't their for our return
appointment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
All
in all a good week and I am looking forward to this week and to see what
happens. Hope you all stay safe and that you all have a good time doing what
ever you do. Love you all very much.<br />

Sorry
to hear that your week slowed down that always is the worst thing ever. It's
cool though to hear that you are all doing good. It sounds like dad is
growing his collection of cast iron, by the way where are you putting all of
it? Anyway I am glad all is going well back home and that you are all safe.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week for me has been pretty fast and very crazy. So we went to the temple on
Tuesday and that was great, it was also our pday. Then Wednesday morning I was
called by President Daines and told to pack and to be ready to move to
Chillicothe after district meeting and after they get out of the temple. So I
packed held our district meeting and then met the Chillicothe Elders after
there temple session. So now I am here in Chillicothe Ohio with Elder Robison
who is brand new, only been out a week now. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then
on Thursday we had exchanges with the Zone Leaders so we went to that early in
the morning. Spent the day there with them and that was good. Then The day
after that I had to go to a district leader meeting and that practically took
the whole day coupled with the travel time back to our area. So finally on
Saturday and Sunday I got to have a full day with my new companion in my new
area. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
like it here in Chillicothe but it is a little run down and full of crime. Just
means the people are open and ready to receive the gospel. We have already met
a guy named Aaron and he seems open to meeting with us. He told us though that
he has been on the internet trying find fault in our religion but hasn't found
anything yet. We have a planned lesson today at 7 so I am looking forward to
that. This area is wide open to us because Elder Robison and his first
companion Elder Gardner were "doubled in" which means they were just
dropped off and said good luck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Love
you all back there and I hope you stay safe through your many adventures. I
pray for you every night. Love you again.<o:p></o:p></div>

This
week was really good and we worked really hard by going out and just hitting
the pavement right running. We sadly were not able to have lessons with any of
the people that mentioned in my last email to you. Life moves on as you know.
Glad that you had a safe trip home and enjoyed your stay in Utah with the
family. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
we are trying so hard to meet new people and to meet with those we know more
regularly. It has been really hard but we continue to have hope and faith.
Those we know are just in a non progressing mood and we are at a loss. It's a
new transfer though so we get to try again and that's always good. <o:p></o:p></div>

I
just realized though that I have 12 weeks left of my mission. I honestly that
shocked me to my core that time that is short. So I guess that I will be seeing
you sooner than I thought. I of course will continue to work hard and to serve
the lord the way I know he wants me too.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello
Family,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week has been very good and we have been finding a lot of new investigators as
we have been walking around. We have yet to have many second appointments but
we have hope. I don't think I am getting trunky, I haven't stopped working as
hard as I was in the beginning. Anyway the weather has been good so far.
Yesterday nearly killed me though because we had a increase in temperature and
humidity and I almost melted. All is good here though in good old Hilliard.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week we had some good lessons with Jeffrey and with Janet but I think that they
are starting to back peddle a little. We also met and taught this girl named <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Marrena and we have met with her
twice now. She said she would try to come to church but she would talk to her
mom first. So we are hoping that mom is ok with it. Also met with Amanda and
had a good lesson on faith and prayer. She is cool and we hope that she changes
from just a study to actually applying what we teach to her life.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">We also had a cool experience were
we got a media referral meaning someone requested something for them selves on
our church websites. The person who requested it was actually a member who
joined the church in Haiti and he wanted us to come teach his wife. We gave
them a Book of Mormon and we taught them a little and set up a return
appointment to come and give them a French Book of Mormon. It's always cool
when people come to us rather than us trying to find them.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Also had a cool experience were we
are going to be visiting and teaching a Muslim couple. Lately we have been
running into a lot of Muslim people and they are so hard to get interested in
what we share. They are very nice but they want us to read the Karan, but we
can't and that has been our friction point with them. But this couple was ok
with us coming by and bringing a member that has read the Karan. So I am
excited to see what happens in that lesson.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

share with you other than that our zone is preparing to sing at a fireside we
are hosting. It's been fun and I will be singing Baritone and bass on one of
the songs. I am hoping you all had a safe trip home and that all is well with
you. I love you all very much and will continue to work hard all the way home.
Maybe this time I will sit next to someone who will talk with me. Anyway love

Hello

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week has been so fast I don't know what happened to all the time. This week we
have been blessed by the fact that people were open to talking with us as we
went about. Also we got a lot of members to lessons which was a great blessing.
I also am very happy to hear from you and so happy that Emma's engagement is
getting more and more official as time goes on. I can just feel the
excitement and joy all the way here in little old Hilliard Ohio.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week like I mentioned was very fast paced and we got a lot of lessons in
and that was great. Jeffrey has been sick this week so we didn't really get to
meet that often or very long to teach anything. We also got a new investigator
Amanda who was referred by her boyfriend who is a less active member. The
boyfriend Aaron flagged down some missionaries in a different area and told
them to get missionaries in contact with him ASAP. So they called us and we had
a lesson the next day with brother Weller and it went really well and they came
to church. They are very awesome couple and they offered to feed us before our
next lesson, we get a meal and a lesson! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also
for lessons we had a hand off lesson with Ben Hoop which means we had a lesson
with the missionaries that would be teaching him. So we met at President Smiths
home with the Hilliard sisters that are in our district. It was really cool
because I got to see how the sisters teach and they are very powerful and so
much better than me. Anyway it went really well and they committed Ben to eat
baptized on the 1st of October. The Smiths were so happy and I think that we
gained a lot of trust from him and his wife which is great. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
think the only other cool thing that happened this week was that Elder Kimball
and I went to OSU for his follow up training meeting. That was really fun and
is always a treat to get trained by President Daines and his wife who are just
getting goofier as they go. Also one funny thing happened this week at district
meeting which made me laugh and have a flash back. One of the sisters burped
very loudly and I could help but think of Jackie and all the many sudden burps
she did. Love ya Jackie ;) Anyway it was a good laugh. Also one of the sisters
in the district is leaving at the end of this transfer so we took a death
photo. <o:p></o:p></div>

All n all a very fun good week and a lot of good things
happening and I am so happy that this area is picking up. The Lord rewards his
servants for their work, so the lord is giving Elder Kimball an opportunity to
actually get to teach and learn. I hope you all have a safe week. Love you all
very much. <o:p></o:p></div>

Hey
Family,<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week was a good one and the weather was really nice and wasn't to hot.
Good to hear that you are all safe where ever you are. This week was nice also
because we had our car and it allowed us to do a lot more as well as a way to
get out of the heat. We have been trying to meet with people through the week
but have had little luck with the new people that we talk to. We however are
able to meet with Jeffrey and a member referral Ben. Kind of a slow week but
was nice was the lessons we did have were with members. Also that Ben came to
church that was a really big thing for us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week has been full of a lot of service to the ward members and Just Serve
opportunities. It was a lot of fun to get dirty pulling tons of weeds and
lifting heavy things as well as assembling shelves. It's nice to be able to
help in some kind of way when ever we can and those opportunities have become
more frequent. So Elder Kimball and I are very happy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now
to the lesson we had this week. Starting with Ben Hoop who was referred to us
by President Smith of our mission Presidency. He is also the stake president that
worked with the committees to get a temple here in Ohio. Very nice man but is
intimidating because of all his achievements. He is also a professor at Ohio
State over the department of Agriculture. Anyway we had a lesson at his house
and taught Ben who is a very nice and open to learning and said that he would
be baptized. Sad thing is we learned at church that he live in the other Ward
boundaries and we will have to refer him over to the sisters in our district.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also
had two lessons with Jeffrey one with Brother Robinson and one with Brother Hsu
(sue). Both were really good lesson and Jeffrey is making very slow progress
but for him I guess it's very fast. He is over coming some big things in his
life that have held him down for several years so all though it's slow he is
moving in the right direction. Jeffrey connected with Brother Hsu the most
which is good because Jeffrey needs a friend. Brother Robinson was very helpful
though in helping Jeffrey open up a little more with us. As well as after the lesson
we got to know Jeffrey's son a little better. We played a street version of
Pickle Ball and it was a lot of fun and Brother Robinson was really good.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That
was our week really and it was fun to do some different things. It is also
always fun and rewarding to serve others in anyway we can. Hope you all have a
great week and that you stay safe. Keep me in the loop so that I'm not
completely lost on events. Keep up all the good work that I know your doing.<o:p></o:p></div>

I'm
glad that you and Emma are doing good back home while mom is off running around
with family. I also glad that you have found a new hobby with antiquing cast
iron. I have been in Sidney Ohio and there is just a lot of old stuff in Ohio
in general. Hope you have fun with the new calling a ward clerk over
membership. You and the rest of the family are having so many different changes
its crazy.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">This week has been good and very
wet as it has finally decided to rain, no down poor cats and dogs and maybe
even elephants. We were out side when it started to rain and a lightning bolt
touched down a little less than a 1/4 of a mile from us. It was loud and just
cool to witness natures power. However even after getting soaked in a matter of
seconds we still went out and tracted and got a few potentials. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">This week we also had a zone
conference and had a really good training by President Daines and his wife. I
really enjoyed this one as we went over effective teaching styles as well as
over coming fear and developing faith. President Daines has changed so much
over the time I have been here. He has gone from strict to a very fun teacher
but is still strict and quick to correct those things that are wrong. Anyway I
love it here and I love President Daines and his wife. Oh funny story time. So
after the zone conference we needed a ride back to our apartment because our
car was in the shop, and no one could give us one. So President Daines gave
Sister Daines permission to give us a ride back to our apartment. It was weird
to be in a car with someone of the opposite gender with no third male. So it's
funny and weird for missionaries you are probably thinking that is a weird
story.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Now as for our investigators we
have only been able to meet with Jeffrey Johnson and we had some good lessons.
He is very open with us and that is good because he just tells us what his
concerns are with out us trying to figure it out. His concerns are hard though
so we have been putting a lot of thought into how best to help him. We hope
that we can soon meet with the others. Janet Donnell had a heart attack last
week, well she had been suffering from a heart attack for a month before she
went in to get checked out. So she has been taking it easy and we understand
and are trying to see if we can help in anyway.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Hello

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well
this week has been a lot of fun and it sounds like yours has been also. I have
been getting a lot of packages full of goodies and I loved them all. Elder
Kimball got a package as well so I didn't feel bad. Training is going great and
my bouncing boy is growing so fast. Anyway I am happy to hear from you and to
learn of your recent activities.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week we have meet with a few of our investigators and had some good
lessons. Jeffrey Johnson, Janet Donnell, and JD are who we are able to meet
with the most and we are excited for them. Jeffrey is going to be hard because
he has been meeting with missionaries for a really long time. Janet Donnell is
just wanting to learn about her neighbors religion so she can live next to them
and not offend. However she is willing to let us come do yard work so we are
really excited because no one else will. JD is an interesting one and I don't
know where he is at, so we will continue to meet. That is who we are currently
working with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
interesting things that happened this week is that we had a surprise training
on technology safety. What was really different was a sister who was married
before the mission shared a very personal story about how she got a divorce. It
was a sad story and really changed everyones out looks on why using technology
for the right reasons is so vital. Its crazy to hear about how things are
missed used and abused even by missionaries, a very select few but still enough
to be saddened. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
guess the only other interesting thing this week was that I got a lot of early
presents and I am so grateful for them and my family that sent them. I love you
all so much and hope that you have a great rest of your week. Hope that you
continue to be safe and that Jackie has an easy labor?? If that makes any
sense. Again I love you all so much!<o:p></o:p></div>

Sounds
like you all have had good weeks over in the distant land of the west coast.
This week for me has been fun and full of excitement as I awaited the coming of
my new companion that I would be training. So this Thursday I went to transfers
and dropped off Elder Belnap and went to a meeting were I received Elder
Kimball as my new son.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
far we are doing good and are getting a long and he is ever so eager to go out
and work and has to drag this old mission fart around with him. Elder Kimball
is from Hawaii well he was born and raised there most of his life but he went
to the MTC from Rexburg Idaho where is dad Teaches Accounting at BYU. He is
only 18 and came fresh from High School, so I am also doing a lot teaching on
how to take care of ones self. He is a good cleaner though, his mom taught him
how to clean just not how to cook.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week has been good as we have met a few new people who have shown interesting
meet with us. One of the people we met while looking for someone else and he
was really fun to talk to and teach. We also met a guy named Jeffery Johnson
who is a former investigator and he was excited that we came to meet him. So we
have high hopes for these people that we can continue to meet with them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyways
all is good over here in Ohio and I am still in the same place which is a good
thing because I like the people here. Hope that you are all safe and doing well
and that there is no more sickness. I love you all very much.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello
Family,<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
This
has been one hot week full of a lot of fun things. Glad to hear that all is
well back home and that you are all healthy. I have been good as well but I
have been drenched in my sweat. I have become a profuse sweater and it is
really grossing me out because its mainly on my face and back. Anyway enough
about bodily functions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week we have not been able to meet with JD or that family that I told you
about. We have meet a bunch of new people though like Cameron Young and and his
Girlfriend, and Lexi. We were also able to meet with a less actives son who
wants to be baptized and his name is Ashton. So we have a lot of people the
thing is getting lesson with them again. Ashton is hard because his mom keeps
rescheduling on us every time we set up a lesson. People are just so flaky in
this area its ridiculous, but that doesn't stop us from teaching and having a
good time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Speaking
of good times we had a couple of fun things happen this week that haven't
happened to me in a long time. First off I was pumping up my bike tire and I
was at like 60 psi which is its minimum psi and it blew up. Sounded like a gun
shot and I was surprised but I didn't jump at all. Then one of our neighbors
came out and thought we had knocked on there door. It was funny. Secondly we
were out tracting and we knocked on this door and someone in side yelled
POLICE. It was funny to hear that again. Then this nice guy came out and talked
to us briefly. Then later we were walking past his house back to our bikes and
he came out and gave us water. Very nice guy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also
I have learned that I will be training again! I got a call on Monday from
President Daines that he wants me to train again. Their are like 20
missionaries coming out so this transfer a fourth of the mission will be trained
and will be training. So I'm excited because Elder Anderson the one I trained
is also training as well as the other missionary that Elder Simkins trained
before he went home. So the Elder Simkins lineage is growing in the Great Ohio
Columbus Mission, well as my own. Just more fun times on the mission.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyways
I hope that you all have a great rest of your week and that you all stay safe.
Always be reading your scriptures daily there is a great strength that comes
from that and prayer. Love you all and I will see you all soon.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
has been a good week full of good old riding a bike full time and tracting a
bunch of houses. For you it sounds like you did a lot more or at least had a
lot more going on. I however am glad that I do not have a bunch of men on my
roof pulling off shingles and replacing them. Instead I was out under the
burning sun getting a nice tan and getting eaten alive by bugs. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We
had some good lessons with people at there doors again and hope that we will
get a second lesson with someone soon. As for that family we don't know what is
going on with them. When ever we stop by to talk to them they are either not
home or don't answer the door. We will continue to try though. Coolest lesson
we had was yesterday, we met a guy named JD. He came out and had questions and
talked with us for a little while. He also the only person who gave us a return
appointment this week. So I am happy that one person actually talked to us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week was however very hard because we met a lot of people that had to make the
effort to come and make fun of us. This one guy was funny but it was still
hard. He drove up to us in his car and told us that we should go and bug other
people. He also asked what a bunch of kids were going to teach him that he
didn't already know. Then I just kind of tuned out and just smiled. I however
remember him telling us that we were weird for believing in a heavenly daddy.
He then asked if we still believe in Santa Claus. It was a really weird
interaction were this man was trying to make himself sound better than us but
insulted himself in the process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Life
is good and I am glad to hear that you are all doing good back home. Tomorrow I
will be at my 20 month mark and will only have 4 months left. It's crazy how
things go by so fast. I love you all and want you to know I am working hard and
will see you soon.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">So
this morning we had a zone activity and I played volleyball with the sisters
and a few of the Elders. Well I tried to at least, several of the sisters
really knew what they were doing. Then we played blindfolded softball. That was
weird and sadly not many liked it. So we played normal softball with whiffle
balls. It was fun and I ended up slamming into this one elder trying to get
back to base while he was running to get me out. It was funny because it didn't
hurt at all and everyone freaked out. Probably because I just laid there after
it happened and didn't move. It was all really fun. </span></div>

Hello
Family,<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week has been a lot of fun and full of a lot of good old tracting and hoping to
get some lessons in with people. We where lucky to get a few and that always
lifts your spirits and makes it worth it to be here. The weather has started to
cool off a little or maybe I am just getting use to it. Either way this was a
good week and I had a lot of fun over here in the Hayden Run Ward.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week like I said we have been doing a lot of tracting and that has been
fun because it always gives me the opportunity to get to know my companions
better. It also gives you the chance to meet a lot of people that are around
you. We were able to teach a few more people than the last few weeks I have
been here. They were all on door steps but that is always the first step. I
hope that we can meet with them again because they all wouldn't give times we
could come back, which is hard. I'm just happy that the work is slowly speeding
up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One
fun thing that happened this week was that we had interviews with the Mission
President. I always enjoy my brief visits with him and the little bits of
advise that he gives even though half the time we talk about my companions more
than me. I prefer it that way though. One fun thing also happen at interviews,
some of the sisters in my district showed up with corn rows in there hair. I
had to try so hard not to laugh to there faces but it was so funny. I also felt
bad for them because I just knew a grill session was going to happen with
President Daines. If you just read the missionary handbook you will always do
good as a missionary but if you don't you feel it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One
other funny thing happened this week as Elder Belnap and I went and did service
at a Lutheran food bank type thing. What we did was we would take people around
the facility and we would help them get a certain amount of food for there
family. It is a lot of fun and we get to wear service cloths so its awesome. So
we were helping one last person and this guy comes in and he has this twig in
his mouth. It was a good size twig, it was at least a fourth of an inch in
diameter just sticking straight in front of his mouth. He was just chewing on
this twig like nothing was wrong and like it was perfectly normal to chew on a
stick. Anyway we kept our selves under control but once we got in the car we
were just dying from laughter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It
was a good week and it sounds like you also had a good week together going to
the beach. I hope that you continue to be safe and that all of you stay
healthy. Tell Tyler to stop getting sick like that its not good for you. I love
you all and hope that you all have opportunities to share little gospel
messages with those around you. <o:p></o:p></div>

Hello
Family,<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sounds
like you have had actually a really eventful week full of ups and downs.
Shocked to hear about Tyler and hope he continues to heal well after his
unexpected surgery. Yard work is also very calming and I like working because
it distracts you from all the things around you for a time. Sorry if I have
ever felt like you lives are boring that was not my intention ever by telling
you to do new things. As long as you are doing things. you enjoy thats what is
the most important.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Funny
though how what you enjoy or find fun changes as you get older. I love getting
the chance to clean our apartment or just simply take naps. I have also enjoyed
as I have been moved around to see the different designs of the homes. I have
fallen in love with the old brick homes and I love the look of tin roofs. You
should look into getting a metal roof, thats my opinion anyways. Suck though
that the roof needs to be replaced though.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week we have been doing a lot of biking and trying to meet with all the
people in the area that have shown interest in the church. Have meet a lot of
nice people but very few have been really interested. So it has been hard but
the few that have shown interest I am very excited to go and meet with again.
Also had an run in with some people who believe in the Trinity and it just
showed me how hard it is to talk about it with out bashing. As well as how
little I have had to talk about that subject that I was at a loss for words. It
went well but one guy was getting really heated and then we bore our
testimonies and this lady asked if she could pray for us. It was a prayer that
we would be able to find truth and find the right answers. It was funny but the
gesture was very kind and I appreciate that she cared enough for us to do that
even though she thought we were miss guided.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There
has been a really cool push in the mission to try and find ways to get members
involved in missionary work, as well as to get them out to lessons. That is
like the hardest thing to do as a missionary. I have been thinking a lot on it
and I hope the ideas that I have will work. Preach my Gospel is very handy and
I have loved reading in chapter 9 under Working With Members. I encourage you
to look at that section and see if there are somethings you would like to try.
I also would like to ask that you open up the house as a place for
investigators to meet and have lessons in a more controlled environment. It
really does help to bring the spirit and it helps with everyones own missionary
work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
love you all and I hope that you have a great 4th of July and that what ever
you do that you are safe. I love you and hope that you continue to be you and
find those things you find joy in. Continue to read the scriptures daily as
that is were you will find one of your greatest joys as well as through daily
prayer. Again I love you and wish you a good week. <o:p></o:p></div>

Hello
Family,<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
has been a good week and I am so glad to have some stories to share with you
this week that are really cool. I am also glad to hear that you are all doing
good and that you are meeting new people in the ward. I love being on a bike
again because this area is flat so It takes little area to get around. The hard
part is biking with traffic but we don't care and just ride on the sidewalk
because it is one safer and two no one walks here. The weather has been really
hot and very humid and Elder Belnap is dying. Also had some crazy lightning
storms come through, I just love the sound of thunder when it shakes the
building.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So
this week we were able to meet one of the investigators that Elder Belnap was
teaching before I got here. His name was Clarence and he is awesome. Has a
great desire to be an example to his family and is looking for a church to do
that. What was really cool is that as we taught him he told us that he already
believed is the things we were teaching. Like when we told him about the pre
earth life he got really excited and was told us over and over that he knew
that was true. Cant wait to see him again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also
I had the opportunity to exercise so of the responsibilities of being a
district leader that I didn't get to do the first time. I got to conduct a
baptism because there wasn't anyone there from the bishopric to lead of
preside. So I got to conduct under the authority of President Daines who was
there to preside. It was a neat experience to site next to President Daines and
to be directed by him on things that he wanted to happen during the event. Then
this Sunday I interviewed a lady named Alyssa Lemaster for Baptism. Now that
was most definitely new and a lot easier than I thought it would be which is
always the case. I like being a district leader I just hate doing district
meetings and teaching missionaries who already know the ropes. Oh well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One
more cool thing happened after church. A part member family was at church that
I didn't see and it made me a little sad that I didn't see them. But they met
with Bishop and after we were introduced to them. They were awesome and I could
just tell that they are a prepared family and that they are ready to hear and
learn the gospel. This will be one of the few times I have taught a family and
I can't wait to see how they help each other and grow together. What a rare
experience to teach families and a very special one. I will keep you in the
loop with there progression.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week has been full of small blessings and it is just a reminder that the lord
is aware of us in our sufferings and that he does reach out through others. The
love of our Heavenly Father has been very evident as this week has been full of
trials and hard ship. But I know that as we continue to follow and pray to him
he will help us so that we can have the strength to push forward. I love you
all and hope that you have a good week!<o:p></o:p></div>

Well
I am happy that you all had good weeks and that dad had company for Father's
Day and that you had monster burgers. I miss all the family fun at reunions but
hopefully I will be able to make it to the next one I have a good place of
employment. I am doing good over here and am now in the Hayden Run Ward which
covers part of Hilliard Ohio. So I am still in the city and I am on bikes until
the end of the month. We car share with sisters, but we have the car we just
don't have miles to use.<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The
ward here is great and is very engaged in missionary work and have been very
helpful with giving us rides and coming out with us. In fact a member asked to
come out with us for three hours just doing whatever needs to be done. So we
tried to meet potential investigators and less actives with him. It was a great
experience for all of us. Met this less active that had this chill pit bull
that they rescued that at one time was a fighting dog. It was so calm and
obedient and it just made me want to get one so bad. I miss dogs. <o:p></o:p></div>

I
almost forgot to tell you my new companion is Elder Belnap and he is from
Ogden Utah and I am what is called follow up training. So I will be going over
the last 6 weeks of his training with him. He is really cool and so far we are
getting along great but he is having a hard time with getting a new companion
so early in his mission. He is warming up fast though so that is good. Also I
am a district leader again and I can just feel the stress again but it should
be easy because there are just sisters in my district. There is also the zone
leaders but from what I understand they don't attend that often. It should be a
cake walk I don't know why I am worried.<o:p></o:p></div>

That
is what is happening over here and I am doing good and I hope all goes well
with you this week. love you all so much and again I hope dad had a happy
Father's Day. I think about what you all the time and what you all taught me so
that I could be prepared to come out here. You are the best dad and parents.
Peace Out.<br />
