Fairfield-Cinci

we live pretty close to fairfield but we are a good ways from cinci, well i guess it depends what part of cinci. Downtown cinci is in our zone and we drove past it last tuesday. Having 2 companions is pretty good so far, we seem to be having a lot of fun and we're able to get a lot of work accomplished. What do you mean how does it work with 3? Yea if we were to get 3 other members we would be able to teach a very good amount of lessons in one night.
Fairfield is pretty good, since its more city it seems like there is a lot more to memorize or get use to rather than being in Huntington where its a grid and fairly easy to get places. Elder Robinson was here previously and Elder Doxey came the same time as i did. We have a few pretty solid investigators, working on getting the other ones at the same place, we should be having a few baptisms this transfer hopefully.
Sister Bledsoe is in Fairfield spanish so we see her a few times a week and Sister Ferrin is in my district. Elder Robinson is my companion.
Tell nin that i got the letter and i should write her back today. My favorite experience this past week is probably yesterday we were at an investigators house named mary and she has been reading from the book of mormon and has a strong testimony that it is true but she didn't feel the need to be rebaptized. we had a lesson about how since one of them is true the rest of the things in the Restoration has to be true as well. we asked her how her praying was going and she said that felt a peace when she prayed about being rebaptized and she more or less just has to quit smoking now and she'll be baptized.
My most favorite area was probably huntington just because there is so much going on there with the work and alot of crazy stuff. Probably the most recent or biggest thing that has increased my testimony is when i have questions or struggling with things i can read in the Book of Mormon and find answers to what i am experiencing.
Im grateful your not picking me up...it would probably just turn into an awkward crying sesh for like half an hour...
love you

Fairfield

I got transfered to Fairfield, Oh i am still a zone leader. this past transfer did go by extremly fast. Church this week was pretty good, Mike, Jim, and Zach all came. It sounds like your fast sunday was pretty good, i really don't remember much of what happened alot has happened the past two days.Today the weather here was 70 degrees, its was pretty warm to be wearing a suit coat and moving luggage all around. Thats good that you have been able to exercise and things like that. how is the gluten free life?
I did get the valentine this week, thank you. Mike and Sydney are doing well, Mike has a date for march 26th
If you want ask the same questions next week i have a bunch of emails to reply to already.

love

It is March

i can't not believe that it is march, this past month went by verrryyy fast. i never got the valentine, what address did you send it to? Huntington is doing alright, mike is doing very well, he wasn't able to come yesterday but he might be losing his job due to a heart condition that he has. he's only really able to come when he takes work off or when sydney isn't feeling well so he doesn't go in on those days. i told them that you were going to be sending a gift but whenever you want to.
Being a zone leader is going pretty well. Last week we started teaching this 8 year old girl and we were talking about prayer and things you can pray for and i was going through asking her if certain things were good to pray about and i was like do you think you can ask if the book of mormon is true? and she said yes, because it is. that surprised me a little bit when she said that but it was pretty cool. Yes i am still writing in my journal, i don't write everyday but when i do write i catch up on the days that i missed. i should be good on journal pages but thank you.
Of course i ate all those steaks, slow cooked to perfection. i haven't made taco soup yet, i never remember to buy the meat when we shop but maybe i will today. it depends on what food it is, usually when a missionary gets transfered they eat the good food they had so they don't leave it behind.
The other person the was baptized in Georgetown was a lady name syvonne taylor. she was baptized a few weeks after i had been transfered to hebron. we are probably getting new missionaries i would assume, i think i heard that we would be.
i hope all is going well, tell baby i say hi. when are you and marc going on that cruise?

Doing Pretty Good

i am doing pretty good, the weather here has been pretty mild the past couple days, on saturday i thought i was going to get sun burnt with the warmth that was coming from the sun. Not having to tract is very good, depending on the area, in Georgetown we had 4 people get baptized because we had to tract but we have been getting a good amount of member referrals this past few weeks. we haven't had too many media referrals lately but we are trying to follow up with people that had requested items in the past specifically ones that requested copies of the Book of Mormon to see if they had an opportunity to read it and if they want to learn more.
Elder Earl the senior couple in the office called me and asked about the bike this past week he said he would try to sell it to the new missionaries that will be coming in. I find out what mission i will be probably june 31st, President Robbins said it would be just a normal transfer and that he would be the one making the decision.
Tonight we will be talking about faith i think...we'll be reading the stories about the Liahona, Ammon, and The Brother of Jared. We'll read the stories then have the class members draw what they think it would have looked like then show the pictures from the gospel art book.
Mike is doing well, he was able to come to church yesterday so he just has to come 3 more times then he can get baptized. thats fine if you send a present i don't really care. They are having a boy and naming him Zane Tyler.
Where is preston going?
We have dinner appointments maybe once or twice a week. Mainly members have us over, we don't have any new investigators but we should get 2 new ones on tuesday. We don't have any snow right now, its pretty warm and nice. we didn't really get a whole lot in Georgetown, just cold and windy.
I hope all is well

A Good Valentine's Day

i did have a good valentines day, i did get the package. i like that heating pad, it has an automatic shut off so i won't have to worry about it burning me or my feet getting hot. thanks for getting me katy's address.
Our Book of Mormon class is going well, last week we read 3 nephi 11 then we watched the testiments. it was alright, the storyline in the movie doesn't really catch up with the Book of Mormon until the very end so it could have been better. Tonight we are going to talk about how The Book of Mormon answers the questions of the soul. We're going to give everyone a pass along card with a question and a pass along card that correspond. (Does God answer prayers? Enos 1 with the Book of Mormon pass along card.) Mike is able to come every week, we mostly made the class for him so it goes pretty well. His wife's name is sydney, she just barely turned 19 or is about to and is expecting in about 3 months.
It sounds like Stake Conference is going to be good, during my interview with President Robbins on friday he told me that a member of the Seventy called him this past week and asked him if he would be attending Stake Conference. Stake Conference isn't until April...
Will you get on my old myldsmail account and there is a folder named sharings or something like that, its the email we get from President Robbins each week, i was wondering if you would print those out, they didn't get transfered to my new account. the screen name is skylax17.
Things are going well, but it continues to snow and our trucks continue to stay grounded. Hope the weather is nice in utah.
love

Not Much Snow

we didn't get that much snow much 4 inches at the most, my shoes never really got wet and i for sure do not need any boots. we can wear boots but that have to get approved by President Robbins. Our trucks didn't get grounded thankfully, they put salt on the roads but i think that, that is about it.Can you see if you can get a girls address for me, her name is katie, she graduated in 07' try to find her in the skyliner and facebook.
will you get the church news on saturday the 13th? thats when they are going to announce all the changes.when they close missions it saves alot of money i think that is one of the main reasons why.
i did get the package, thank you for the cake, tie, calendar, and pillow case.you'll probabley get some pictures next monday for sure.that's pretty cool about the baptism, where did the family move to?Mike is doing really well, he has to work on sundays but he was able to fast while he was at work and it still doing amazing and jim is still kinda just there, he's a little stubborn...hope all is going well

This Week Was Good

This week was good, elder beck has only been out 9 months and hasn't had any leadership assignments up to this point so there is a lot that he is trying to adjust to and learn. i'll look for the package, atleast this won't be one of those 9 month things...
i did email them from the library, i'll email you pictures from the wedding next week.
our investigators are doing good, the wedding was pretty good. the service was 12 minutes exactley, nice and short.
we're not supposed to email other missionaries but see if you can get his address where he is or see if he was able to get the letter i sent him. i heard that davey got called to germany but not to the same mission.
saturday at zone leader council president Robbins gave trainings indirectly about the change in the mission. i kinda hope im in columbus...
for service we deliever mail and flowers at the hospital here, it's alright, its not that affective as far as getting people to teach.
we are both zone leaders
things in common? we're still working on that, he's pretty much the total opposite of elder taylor...he served in adams county(where the kid you picked up from the airport is from)
i just wear my normal shoes in the snow.
hope all is going well, give the baby a kiss from me.
does this mean i have to get a new plaque with my picture on it?
