August 10th E-mail

What is happening?!?! Well it sounds like everything is going pretty well for you guys. I'm glad that girls camp was fun. It tends to have a pretty big impact on the girls.. hrrrrrrrrrrp... lol I'm j/k! :D But that is way cool. I'm glad you didn't get the job actually mom because ya know a little more money isn't that important anyways.. and it would just give you a reason to spend a little more money anyways.. :D I can tell you one thing though.. I know without a doubt why the leaders of our church have been telling us to get out of debt. Something crazy is going to happen real soon I can tell you that much. And a lot of people are going to be screwed.. Well around here a lot of people already are screwed... but anyways.. I wont get into the negative that is going on in the world. ;) But this week we were able to find 2 new investigators! Woot! Their names are Jenny Young who is a single mother of 3. And Ted Rohrenbach and he is pretty cool. He is a catholic and how we broke the ice with him was he told us that his son had passed away and we asked if he was baptized.. and he said no and well you know what catholics believe about that.. and so we told him about the spirit world and about temples and how he could be baptized for his son.. and that was way cool! But things are just picking up right now.. We had our interviews this week and they went very well. President Palmer told me that he thought i did a really good job conducting my district meeting and then later the ZLs told me that he told them the same thing.. So that was pretty neat. Its nice to have so quickly earned the trust of President Palmer. He is such a great guy.. So did you guys go talk with Sis. Palmer's parents? probably not since it was girls camp.. But you should go see them. That would be cool. So i need you guys to chew out my siblings for me! Those hosers.. And especially James.. :) No but tell them i love em that's for sure. I love you guys too. It is crazy to think that i only have 9 months left.. lol.. Wow that is just simply crazy. Lol so kind of a funny story. Last night we were over at some members house for dinner. (the Coughanours) and their little boy was saying the prayer over the food and I started rubbing Elder Allred's leg under the table and he started laughing during the prayer! lol! It was so funny. He is pretty dang cool. He is definitely my best greenie so far. We give each other a lot of crap.. and he is very teachable.. He told me last night "I don't want you to go zone leader.. I would rather be your comp for 2 transfers..." And i was like who says I'm going Zone leader? hrrrrrrrp. But we will see.. We still got 4 weeks in the transfer.. But i love you guys so much! take care of yourselves! And keep reading your scrips! and good job on re-committing yourself! Woot! Love ya!
