Time

i don't have a lot of time today...we have an appointment with Sherri to help her with the baptism.
feel free to ask the same questions next week. things are going well and we are still alive and sweating in the humidity. it is pretty crazy to think that meryl will be home and i will still be here, i just won't have to worry about remembering her address when i write her. i love you and hope you are doing well.
love,

Working Hard

Sweating a Little

Having Fun

Olive Hill is Doing Well

i am good, how are you doing? Olive hill is doing very well right now, this past week we taught 20 lessons and had 3 new investigators. I think it might be the first time (ever or in a lonnnnggggg time) in which 20 lessons have been taught in a week. we are very fortunate for the success that we are able to see at this time. especially since the area was going to be closed 3 weeks ago.How is grandpa norr? what is his email? how is kerry and wendy? do you know if megan got the letter i sent her?
For fathers day we went to Sister Hedge's house and had lunch with them and her family then went out and worked and sweated. We normally don't really have dinner appointments, we have members give us food or things like that. Whenever i make chicken salad i cook the chicken myself then put those "grape" tomatoes on there and cheese and all sorts of stuff.
if you send me a package wait until after the 3rd, i really don't need anything. no candy in large amounts. elder smith and i are seeing who can lose the most weight.
alright well have a good day
wove you

Lots to Say

To Mom:
i enjoy being with elder smith. we both work pretty hard. we did meet the thornocks, they are both from the dub (washington, yakama). what kind of story do you want? the focus was transitioning missions so we talked about Zions Camp and Moses and the children of Egypt.
No sisters in the zone, most of my friends are on this side or they have gone home....
we still email in grayson
we have a pool table in our garage that we excerise on mondays.
i make a lot of salad with chicken in it.
i wrote kerry and wendy but i addressed the letter to megan.
All the questions i would ask you aren't really relavant and don't have much importance. are you gonna cry when you see meryl?
don't let dad wear my clothes.
for my birthday i get a lot more out of notes and cards from people than i do gifts...
wrove you

To Marci:
i am doing pretty good, it is super hot and humid. we put some fence posts in this morning for a member and like usual i was drenched. Quite litterally in fact, my sweat was coming through my pants and shirt and just everywhere. i don't think i'll live on the east coast.
what does ally's husband do with the military? if you haven't been informed yet, when i get home im going to go to aviation school and become a pilot then go into the coast guard. you should send me some pictures...
isn't eating ice cream after working out defeat the purpose???
I have read 1 sam. 17 many a time and given trainings on that story a few times as well. it's a very good one.
stay out of troub, kiss lots of boys

To Merideth:
herrroooooo
my week was good, we thought it was going to flood again but not yet. they were predicting an inch of rain per hour. the li li is still closed, probably will be for a while. if they had olive trees here it would probably be called gathsemane instead of olive hill, maybe a little bit of irony? the church is like 6 or 7 miles away. its like 95 today and we have to ride our bikes and i forgot a towell, im gonna be soaked.
wrove your wittle heart

July 28th

things are going well in the O.H. July 28th? well this transfer is 8 weeks so i guess that is when it ends...thats a long time. We haven't heard a whole lot about the new mission, im sure tomorrow at zone conference we will find out more about the changes and what to expect. I bet you could get one lds.org and find out the boundaries. if you look at the current mission map down at the bottom of it is the website they printed it from so maybe you could find it out that way.
Currently we aren't riding our bikes, we may change that soon to conserve miles, i'm not sure how big the branch is, you might be able to figure that out on the website as well.
Shari is the only one that is progressing at this time. she's the one that had a baptismal date. she came to church last week for the last two hours and this week she is starting back up with radiation. hopefully she will be feeling well enough throughout the week to meet with us and come to church.
How was the lake? how did you get the boat up there? did anything scary happen? was dad stressed?
hmm so you want a story....
a guy has moon shine. the real stuff, we took pictures earlier today. it smells pretty bad. he told us how to make it. i'll make it for you sometime.
love

My Week

my week has been good, how has yours? what is kerry and wendys address? i think i asked you that in the last letter....i got the package yesterday, thanks for the ties...those are the kind of ties i have been wanting you to send me this whole time, their not ugly...their gorgeous.
I am going to be in the charelston mission, before you go getting a wv flag the new mission might go into maryland and if so i want one of those...Elder Argyle got transfered, My new companion is elder smith, i was companions with him for 2 weeks when i got emergency transfered into martin.
We cover all of carter county (olive hill, grayson) south to sandy hook and north to south shore. this past week we only spent about 2 days working probably 12 hours total. the lady with the baptismal date has cancer pretty bad so her health is pretty up and down so its hard to catch her when she is feeling well enough for us to teach her. we are seeing her tonight. I've spoken twice (in Sacrament Meeting) so just whenever they want us to speak. The days go by too fast to remember this past week, its hard enough to remember yesterday. hope all is well in zion.

love
