hi
first name this movie. "you cant all be Albert Einstein!" I'm am!, he is, we are. ME To!
Sorry i didn't write yesterday. some craziness went down and its mostly to do with the weather.
so it snows like once a year here in Oklahoma. so people don't know what to do when it happens. they freak out and cant drive. everyone goes to the grocery store and buys up all the food because they want to be prepared. (who are they boy scouts?!) anyway so we weren't allowed to go out side until it quit snowing. which is a bummer because we were supposed to go to the zoo.
so anyways this week has been good. the mission is really pushing for numbers this transfer. so that's lame. because you always hear that its not about the numbers its about the people. but what ever. and the worst part about it is that you have to stand up in front of you district and tell what you did that week and what your numbers were. it makes you feel stupid even if you do good on numbers which we are were doing the best in the zone right now) (but i will not boast of my self but of my God) but i still think is just a way to make sure people are working and not slacking off. IDK
So this week is good. there is a family called the whistlers. and they want to be as involved with our lives as anybody. they feed us like twice/three times a week. and they call us all the time. and bro whistler comes outwith us as much as possible. their a sweet old couple. bro whistler survived lung cancer and so he speaks in a high squeaky voice.(he sounds like Yoda, and looks like him to) and there both so funny. they spend all there free time at the temple. and they do like 5 sessions a day. and there really into genealogy. (you would have to be to do all those names) the last person they found lived in Greece around 84 A.D.!!!!! that's cool beans. they have been all around the world like five times. going to different temples and trying to find documents on there ancestors.
this week we had exchanges. i was with elder neild in my area and elder olinger was with prewitt. it was kind of scary because Ive only been in this area like 3 weeks. so i don't know were everything is. and now i had to plan for the day by myself. and there was a little bit of a mix up so we ended up spending two days together instead of just the one. but thats ok ilove that kid. but i hope i dont serve with him. because then we would end up not being friends. you start living with someone for 6 to 12 weeks and you start to get sick of each other.
we ended up tracking like the whole second day. and nothing was coming of it. just rejection after rejection. plus we had a little stray dog following us all thought the neighborhood. (he was a little yorky) and we told him to sit and he would sit and wait for us when we knocked on the door. then he would follow us to the next house. o and just a side note it was about 18 out side and the humidity was killing us! so were freezing our buts off and we decided to pray and ask heavenly father if there was anybody on this street that needed the Gospel today? we finished and we both got the impression to try one more house. this guy answers the door. and we tell him were the missionary's. and he invites us in. he told us he is from the middle east. and he moved to the U.S. about 3 years ago. and he wants to learn more about all other religions because its not allowed were he is from. so we started to teach him and he asked us why we knocked on his door. and we just told him that we knock on alot of peoples door and that were just looking for people that want to hear this Gospel. he then told us that before we got there he was praying for God to direct his life. and what path he should take. then like 10 min later we knocked on his door. we gave him a book of mormon. taught him the first lesson. asked him to be baptized and he and his family said yes! but his family cant read English so we have to order a Persian book of Mormon for them. such an awesome experience.i love the way the Lord works! i know he is always looking out for us.
so yes i got your package. and i love you so much! and i got gramas letter as well. THANK YOU!!! i feel like the most loved missionary in this mission.
lauren. here is a little insight into a boys mind. when you talk to a boy. in any kind of friendly manner. he will probably think that you like him. and he will probably like you back. but he wont ask you out if you in a group of friends. because its alot more scary talking to six girls instead of just one. just be nice to every one and you will be fine. AVOID the drama, lamma. (he spits)
that's so cool that jake is getting married. what did he think about the temple? i really thought this day wouldn't come this soon. time is just flying by. i miss that kid.
dad i love your letters. it just like how you talk in real life. how you explain your hunting story's. some times it makes me want to go hunting. as weird as it sound i miss freezing my butt off in some blind waiting for a couple of birds to be stupid enough to be fooled by plastic.
Well i love you guys so much you guys are the best!
