Hello family.
so im sorry but im going to have to cut this one semi short. because i have to be in lawton in about 2 hours and its an hour drive up there. because its zone pday. i would say forget about zone pday if i wasnt calling you this weekend. witch is going to be super crazy. two phone calls in the same area. what a trip. but yea i think i will call at about 2:30 your time or about 3:30 my time if thats ok. yea invite dakota, and anybody that wants to talk with me. nana, papa, jake, tyler, who ever. i definitely want to talk to you guys the most but every body else is a bonus.
so this week has been great. on Monday. i got a hair cut and its short again. sister jones she always cuts it shorter than i like. but whatever you cant beat free. but they were talking with me and they said you know were moving to Italy in six months and if you and your future wife wants to hunny moon there we'll let you stay at our house. kind of cool.
then after that i was just looking around at alot of stores and this one store has a bunch of western were. and they said that they could give me a discount of 25% (you know im a sucker for sales) so i bought a cowboy hat for 15 dollars. then we were looking around and found madder (like ta-madder with out the TA!) its this old beat up tow truck with eyes painted on it.
then on Tuesday we helped out this old lady in the ward. and we were cleaning out here garage and there was this old bag and she was just like throw what ever is in that bag away. so i looked in the bag and there was two cowboy hats in it. i asked if she still wanted them gone? she said i could have them. SWEET! so now i have two straw hats and a nice felt hat its made out of beaver skin. the price tag says $330 (guess i should have waited to buy that hat)
on Wednesday we went up to the city for the greeny meeting. it was a meeting for all the new missionaries and there trainers. really good. i have never driven so much in my life. but its worth it to get that spiritual boost. man the mission is great. normally you have to wait until general conference for a spiritual boost. but here you get it about once a month. i love devoting my time to the lord its so rewarding.
o that brings up another story.
So once upon a time this lady stopped us on the side of the road and asked us if we were jahova witnesses. we told her no and she said good if you were i would of had to yell at you or run you over. because apparently two J Dubs came to her house and made fun of her husband and just mocked him for his testimony on Jesus Christ. so we said were Mormon so she said you guys can come on over.
so we went over to there house and talked with them and they asked lots and lots of questions about us and about missionary work. and the husband his name is rocky was so impressed with what we did and how devoted we are. he said we need to meet every week. because this is the most beautiful thing that i have ever heard. he also said that we are going to meet together until im converted to your faith. perfect.
Saturday we help a guy break into his house. but it was easy all we had to do was open a window and unlock the door.
we also are helping this lady quite smoking. she has been wanting to quit for a wile but she just didn't know how. so we showed here our 15 step program and she has been smoke free for 3 days now and she just needs 4 more and she will never want to smoke again.
Lauren thanks for being a good missionary. remember never forget to stand up for what you believe in even if its with your friends. but all ways be willing to share the gospel with others. because it has blessed your life in so many ways, so why not share it. man i remember missionary week. it was great i think it has really helped me on my mission. its kind of a tast of what the real mission field is like.
well i love you all so very much keep up the good work and i will talk to you on Sunday.
Love Elder Payton Clements
