Hi mom!!!

This has been a great week so far. Like one of the best weeks out here! I’m 9 months out and I’m loving it! The Foils came to church, that was the really exciting thing this week. Here’s the week.

MONDAY- after we emailed we went over to the thrift store and then we went back to the apartment and then the guy Thomas took both our bikes to tune them up and make them look new.  He’s so cool! The pizza came and then we went over to the Foils and just taught them about the Book of Mormon.  We got a call from a member asking if we would like to come over for dinner. So we were like yeah let’s do it! So he picked us up and then we went over there and come to find out there was 3 sets of missionaries there already. Lol. So we spent the rest of the night there talking with them.

TUESDAY- today we met with Chris and he is so excited to be baptized, but he told us he is moving to Oklahoma to take care of his mom.  So we got in contact with the elders in Oklahoma and he’s gonna be interviewed there. So then we said our goodbyes and then we left. We went back to the apartment and changed and then we went to zone training and it was Elder Senyolos last one before he went home (zone leader). So we had it and then after we went home and we helped our new neighbors move in and shared a message with them and then we went with our ward mission leader Bro Swenson to teach this guy Cameron. We had an ok lesson. Bro Swenson talked a lot and then we went home for the day.

WEDNESDAY- This morning we decided to take Hunter Biggs with us and go try to see this person Char but she wasn't home so we tried tracting for a bit and we found 1 person that was interested in basketball at the church.  Then after that we went to drop off some Book of Mormons at a members home and then we went to taco bell and got some potato grillers and then we went and tried to see a referral but she wasn’t interested.  We were dropped off at Breannas and we had a good talk with her. We haven’t seen her in a while and then we walked over to a park to see Don and then we went over to the Roots to help her with a project she had going on.  Then we had dinner there and then we went over to see this guy Steve. Tyler Root came with us! He’s a priest in our ward and then we went to basketball and then we came home. Basketball was fun.  Marcus always comes and he’s the 16 year old of the Foils family.

THURSDAY- I’m 9 months out today!! We did studies and then we weekly planned for about 3 hours and then we went and saw sister Shellman and that went well.  She’s a less active and she told us she’d like to have us over for dinner sometime.  Then we went to chick fil a for a dinner appointment and then we went and saw a less active and then we went and left William a note and some Campbell chicken soup. He hurt his back pulling some trees and then we came home.

FRIDAY- It started out rough in the morning, but after that we went to Arlene Morgans and helped her move some boxes and then we showed her the Easter message and then we talked with her about coming back to church.  She said she would so yay.  She also gave me an Alabama license plate!! Then we left and went to try to see a less active but instead we saw a member.  It was his mom and we showed her the Easter message and then we left. Then we tried to go see this guy Joe but he wasn’t home but his wife was and she said we could come back next week so that was good.  Then we went home and went to dinner with some members to Ruby Tuesday.  We talked with them, shared a message and then we went to see the Foils but they weren't home so we tried to go see Eric but he wasn't home so we went home that night.

SATURDAY- It started out rough in the morning and we called our investigator Myli and she told us we could come over at 10. She lives a little far out and so we got Hunter to come out with us. I love where she lives! It reminds me of the cabin! Anyways we taught her about weaknesses and then we left and we took Hunter to Taco Bell and bought him some lunch.  We all got the triple double crunch wrap and I liked it. Then after he dropped us off we went and tried to see Mandy but she was mowing and she said come back tomorrow. I even offered to mow the lawn but she declined the offer! WHAT THE HECK! Lol. Then we went and saw the Foils for a while.  We played bball with them and I told Marcus earlier if he reads 3 pages out of the Book of Mormon I would show him my webbed feet.  So he did and I showed him and his reaction was priceless! It was so funny.  They also said they would come to church. Then we left and went to our dinner appointment at the bishops and we had a potato bar. It was so good then we went to see Steve and committed him to come to church.  He said he would, and then we came in.

SUNDAY- so today was really exciting. We had the greatest Priesthood executive committee meeting.  After we shared our weekly report, bishop looked at us and said job well done elders! Then we waited for the Foils family and they came! Not just 2 of them but the whole family! 10 people! Me and Elder Ratigan were asked to bear our testimonies on faith in Jesus Christ and Repentance, and then the Foils left after sacrament meeting.  Then we went to the rest of church and everyone was asking us about the family of 10. Then we got Hunter to come out with us sometime this week plus Brandon Lee to come out. Then we went with Bro Swenson to see a less active and she said I could mow her lawn one of these days! I’m so excited! Lol!  Then we went home and had a short lunch and then tried to go see Don but he wasn’t there.  His 19 year old kid and wife were there and so we talked with them and then we left and we rode back home and we went with a member to give a blessing to Arlene Morgan.  She was going in for surgery the next day and so I gave her consecrated oil and Elder Ratigan gave the blessing and then we went to Bro Hollinseads home and he offered us dinner and so we talked with their family and one of their daughters is named Ashlen. The same sound as Ashlyn but just an e instead of a y. So then we shared a message and then we left for the night.

MONDAY- We got up and planned and did personal study and then we came to the church. We have a new zl now and his name is Elder Lee. He is awesome.  He’s from Arizona. He’s been out for 22 months. We went to lunch with some Byrd springs members.  It was so good, we went to a deli. We are going to leave after emailing and play tennis.

I think we are going to the Roots for Easter. THE TEMPLE TRIP IS ON WEDNESDAY. The weather has been warm and sunny.  The storm didn't hit us on Wednesday, it was just windy.

Well mom I’m getting rushed to go out so thank you and I pray for you daily!

LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!
