Hello Hello!

This was a very rough week for us, But by now I'm use to it because that is all I have had for the last two and a half months. We only taught seven lessons, but on the bright side we found two families that seem promising, one of which lost their six month old daughter a week ago. We feel that we can touch them with the Plan of Salvation, only because it's great you know?

Since when does Ammon want to work on the yard? that is out of the norm...

That's really cool that Jayme enjoyed the Choreography and that Jordyn liked it. that is pretty strange, I mean she is only six. She is going to be a really smart girl one of these days.. I can see it.

I can't believe that it has been a year since Alex died. That is crazy. I have yet to be able to share it really with any investigators but I have been able to share it with some recent converts and a couple of missionaries, one of which it really touched and helped him become a more purpose driven missionary, his past was one similar to Alex's. Whenever I share it I know that He has been able to work in the hearts of those who have heard his testimony. It's really cool.

Andrew Kitchen.. . yeah I think last thing I heard about him he wasn't living with his family anymore. Has Eric really been gone for a year and a half. that is weird to think. Sounds like although Wrestling season has been over you guys have been able to stay busy and not sitting around home that much. I'm surprised too that Ammon didn't fight you to stay Cadet, A lot of things change in seven months I guess. I have too. I mean I have shrunk an inch and gained 30 pounds... ha just kidding.

That's funny that you bring up trailer trash people, in the southern part of Akron and here in Barberton there are a lot of those, but they are just trash and live in dumps, I can't imagine living like that. But, some of them are the ones that need to hear the gospel and join the church. We two families we found are somewhat like that, but you see quite a bit of it in the bigger cities and highly populated areas. Speaking of Soda, I haven't really drank any in a long while and then I had one the other day, I Don't think I am very fond of them anymore! I remember Drinking two or three soda's a day and now I have one like every other week. Oh well.

It has warmed up here too a bit. the weather here is so erratic, the last two weeks it rained for two days straight, then it turned to snow, the day following the snow it gets up in the fifties and melts. From the Forecast we have heard it's suppose to warm up and stay warm. Hopefully it gets above 70 so we can take of our jackets and just go around in our Shirts. I love spring, and It's going to be great because it gets really green here and you don't see that in Utah.

Ammon and Matthew aren't begging you to let them go to Disneyland too? I would. It will be good. But, Jordyn should be able to go on most of the rides now right? so that will be really fun to be able to take her on all the rides and things.

Anywho, not much has really gone on this week. We tracted a lot and nothing has been able to work, I don't know what the difference was. But, Like I said, it's not new to me anymore and so I don't get as depressed as I did in Wadsworth, in fact, I'm more impressed when people keep their appointments and want to learn about the gospel. It's disappointing when we miss people at the appointments but, it happens and you move on. I have learned to be a lot more positive and when I am positive things are a lot easier and it's a lot easier to handle.

Sorry it's so short this week, not much has happened.

Love,

PS. the guy sitting next to me is watching Power Rangers! Haha, he is like in his twenty's too!

Oh yeah, and Did you hear about that earth quake in Japan! 8.9! oh goodness. that is pretty dang intense. I just wonder when something is going to happen here in the US!

Hey dad,


I have been doing this Canadian Air force workout every morning, it's pretty good when you can't really go outside and when you don't have a lot of time.

Sounds like you are still very busy with doing everything that needs to be done in the home and things. Should be looking real good before too long


The Weather here has been warming up as well, we will probably ride bikes every now and then when it really warms up, it also depends on where we will be working that day. Our area is really large and so I am not sure on how much we really will ride our bikes, but I'm sure we will a little.

The work is slow, our lessons dropped by more than half this week, I'm not really sure what happened, but we have done our best to stay obedient and diligent. so we will see what will happen.

My sleep has improved quite a bit with the sleeping pills, One night I thought I would try not taking the pills and go back to Melotonin, but, it didn't really work and I woke up five or more times throughout the night, so I dunno.

Time Flies.

Love ya!
