Salem is Good

dear mommy
salem is good
im on a bike
its pouring rain right now
still no package that i know of...
my cut is fine, all healed up
well seeing that i'll be home a month after christmas i wouldn't like anything big. just something similar to what i was sent for my birthday. maybe include some from my girlfriends.
elder mckee is from vernal.
i think i have seen 1 or 2 primary programs, not too many.
mer told me about my costume, hopefully he doesn't destroy it. just tell him to open his mouth and close his eyes. if you don't know what your eating, it can't hurt you.
is owen going to sleep over wednesday night...if you know what i mean?
right now we are working with mike moody, he has down syndrome and his mom really wants him to be baptized so if he is able to understand and retain the information he'll be baptized next month. it'll be a test for all of us. also catherine stickley is a part member who is praying for a baptismal date of the 11th of december. hopefully they will both be baptized before the end of the year.
i wrove you

dearest marci
thanks for the pics, i was starting to forget what you look like
jk
salem is pretty good, im on a bike (the Lord knew i wanted to be skinny before i went home, he loves me.) my companion is elder mckee, he's from vernal. he hit a year in september. im not trunky...just so your room mates know.
coach bechtold is sweet, i was pretty upset when i had to be in ms wagners class.
i didn't really mind to much that i was being transfered right before his baptism. Hopefully we will be able to have baptisms the next two months coming up. we have some pretty solid people that we're working with and getting close to setting dates with them.
elder kearon gave a really good talk, i liked his accent and his story. really all of GC was wayy good, can't wait to watch it while im cuddling with my baby next time.
mommy told me about the trip, looks like you had a lot to look at while you were there....lots of trees.
what temple do you do baptisms at? how many dates did you go on this week?
you know how me and meryl had farewells the same day? you and her should get married on the same day, that would be intense.
i love you
stay pretty

Transferred

everything in lexington is going well, ron's baptism is still set for saturday. Sunday he will be confirmed and then in 3rd hour he'll recieve the priesthood. marci told me about your trip, thats pretty cool about the guy just pulling up and then showing you where the homes were. how is grandpa doing?

how is the snyders doing? meryl said she had a pretty busy day sunday, what did she speak about? why is j borrowing brownie mix?

this past week the Lord really blessed our zone. upto this point the most member present lessons we had was 23 in a week. this week the Lord blessed us with 39. we usually try to get about 25 as a zone so i was really glad to see all the member involvement. as a result we have 10 people with baptismal dates, up 7 from the previous week.

i am being transferred to salem, va
i hope all is going well

i love you

i hope owen was a good wittle baby. is he potty trained yet? tell him when i get home he can't sleep in the same bed as me if he's going to wet the bed.
how was playing duck duck goose?
ron hopefully hasn't smoked since friday, his date is still set for the 23rd. he was able to come to stake conference and watch most of general conference.
the lesson with larry's sister went well, her husband is pretty baptist and she doesn't have a great understanding of the gospel so it was a little hard.

when did you get an ipod?
on tuesday we spent 8 hours in the car, going to charleston for zone leader council. then this weekend i saw some members from huntington here for homecoming and visiting their daughter.
we eat at members homes about 2 to 3 times a week. the dentist- i thought i had a cavity but all turned out well.
i'll tell you story next week.
give baby a kissy kissy from me
i love you

Our Week

our week was pretty good, brother allan has a baptismal date for the 23rd of october. i feel in any mission the investigator should come to church 4+ times so they and the ward become framilier with each other. we taught him 3 times this past week and we're helping him overcome smoking.
pam and brother clark are the only members in their families. we are going to teach brother clarks sister tonight so hopefully we'll be able to teach her pretty consistently and bring her into the fullness of the gospel.
elder taylor didn't like those blueberry pancakes, i think it might have stained the shirt he was wearing. it really depends on the area and how much time i have in the morning if i am going to cook anything. in olive hill i made a lot of french toast and breakfast burritos. now i have ceral with peaches and bananas in it.
is meryl and ryan getting pretty serious? did they kiss at the conference center?
i really enjoyed all of the talks that were given, they all had personal meaning and were applicable to my life at this time.
hope all is going well
keep my baby safe and meryl away from the jewlery stores
love you
