August 31st E-mail


What is going on?!?! Well it is great to hear from you guys! I love hearing about little Eva! I am glad that she has joined the butter eating club! WOOT! I think that is awesome! I absolutely love butter! lol! Well this week went by super fast. I'm sitting here trying to remember what even happened... On Tuesday we started teaching a boyfriend of a returned missionary.. His name is Brian Abbott and he is super solid.. My only fear is that he would jump into this for her.. But he showed interest in the church before he hooked up with her so that is a good sign.. But we taught him 3 times and he came to a baptism on Saturday(not our baptism) and then came to church on Sunday.. So he is dedicated. That's for sure.. The mom and daughter that we have on-date for sept 26th , Juanita and Kim Reynolds, We are also teaching Juanita's dad and she told us that if we got him to go to church that she would never miss a Sunday... lol! So we are going to hold her to that.. Heck ill even tell Lyle that so that he gets her going :D lol! But she is pretty solid.. She was passing a kidney stone so they didn't come to church this week.. *ouch* but next week hopefully they will be there... But all in all it was a pretty good week.. Elder Allred and I are just having a blast.. This week though on Saturday we get our transfer calls.. so I'm hoping that we stay together.. but we will see what happens.. Last night we were praying for our comp study and I prayed for him to have an opportunity to speak in sacrament meeting and right after i said that he slugged me in the arm.. and then we started laughing but then i finished the prayer and i was like what the heck? and then he felt bad because it was during a prayer lol! i thought it was pretty funny... and then he asks me why did you pray for that? he says your might as well pray for me to get hit by a car.. lol! I just laughed.. I was just praying for it just to be a punk really.. but i thought it was funny :D But hey way to go Highland! i hope that you kick the crap out of Skyline.. I cannot believe that someone took roidtard for a coach.. But hey its great to see the t-ville turn around... lemon heads.. how pathetic.. Me and James should take that team when i get back.. We could turn that program around.. get a little Arkansas defense going there and no worries I will run the offense :D football is just starting up here and Bishop is coaching a team and well we might happen to tract into their practices a few times i dunno :D i tell you what though when i saw the high school team here practicing i just wanted to run over there and start hitting those kids myself.. I miss it! :D So i have no choice but to play or coach for well the rest of my life... :D But hey mom i don't really need anything.. If you really want to buy me something then just put some money in my bank account for when i get home :D all my stuff is holding up pretty nicely.. so I'm not too worried.. But anyways the work is going very well I am loving it! Thank you for your prayers and I love you guys so much! Oh and by the way was that a sweet cake or what! woot! And trust me we made it by ourselves.. We frosted it together and then we took tooth picks and made the deer and then spelled out john Deere.. :D it was sweet! But i love you guys! Take care!
