September 14th E-mail

What is happening?!?! Well its great to hear from both of you! I'm glad highland hung in there with the Idaho team.. They will do alright this year. So Shannon really is going with us huh?!? Is that awesome or what! I would absolutely love to room with Carl again! This time i will pack some air fresheners though :D Wow that is awesome! I'm seriously smiling pretty big right now! I hear though that those resorts are supposed to be pretty dang cool! Are they going to have golfing and what not? I am way excited to go scuba diving too! Really it just sounds nice to be able to get in the water! :D I got a pretty cool story from an exchange that we went on this week. I went to CDA to be with Elder Killpack (who i came out with) He is one of my Zone Leaders. But anyways we were driving to the church to make some copies of some paperwork to go over with his Ward mission leader and on the way i told him ya know we really ought to just hang out at the church today and let the people come to us... and we both laughed and then we pulled up at the church and there was a guy walking through the parking lot and so we drove around by him and parked and got out and started talking to him.. Well at first he told us he didn't really believe in anything and then we taught him about Jesus Christ and what he did for us and then we went right into the Plan of Salvation and what the purpose of this life is. Well anyways he told us that he would be at church on Sunday and that we could meet with him again on Monday.. So it was a very neat experience but afterwards we were walking inside and i told Elder killpack see what did i tell ya? lol... It was pretty funny. We ended up talking to 2 more people before we left the church but neither of them were interested.. :D This week went a little slow for us though.. Juanita and Kim (who were on-date) fell off the face of the earth... We cant get a hold of them to save our lives.. It was pretty funny though one night we went over to their house at like 8:30 at night so it was dark and their kitchen light was on and their basement light was on and so we knocked and they have a big window right by the door but is for the living room and their blinds were cracked a bit and i looked in there and i could tell that the t.v. was on and i kept looking in well someone came crawling out from in front of the couch to see who was at the door and then they noticed me staring at them and so they turned around and crawled back behind the couch lol! and then like 2 seconds later all the lights shut off! lol! so it was kind of funny even though it sucks that we cant get a hold of them... But what do ya do! The Lord has something awesome in store for us! And we are looking forward to whatever it might be! I love you guys! Thanks for all that you do for me! For your prayers and your support and love! Take care! And good luck in everything! Take it easy!
