Doing Good

mammy,
i am doing good, how are you doing? how are you doing with keeping your iron up? mike was supposed to be baptized friday but he will be getting baptized the 17th instead. i called one of the missionaries friday just to ask about him and they said he was doing good.tell sister curry you want both pictures she took of us at church, especially the one with the man from africa.
Zach is 11, his grandparents are members and he lives with them, he has a bap date for april 8th i think, chris's dad is a member, chris is kinda nuts, he has a date for may 8th. eric's mom and sister are members they live in texas, he's 22ish. mary is doing well, she has a crazy 14 year old granddaughter that she can't leave home alone so its hard for her to come to church.thanks for package, no cookies, yes nana bread. marc wrote me 2 emials...
give baby kiss

i am doing well, how are you doing? how are things coming with the trek prep? i found this pretty sweet ensign from 97 in our appartment that talked about the missionaries, it was pretty sweet. this morning i didn't feel that great so i started reading it and read an article about the wille and martin hand cart companies and all the things that Brigham Young said when he heard about the conditions of the saints. That is probably one of my most favorite things reading about in church history.
we weren't able to get any of the investigators to sacrament. Zach got to church for 2nd hour and chris wasn't awake...however church starts at noon on saturday thats pretty creepy if you have elders that knock on your door multiple times a day...i would be pretty annoyed. the weather here has been pretty good, rainy the last few days. its supposed to be sunny in the 70s the rest of the week though, right in time to take off our suit jackets. i am always excited for GC i wove it, dont let baby get to crazy don't want no diebeties.
talk to you wayyter

To Mommy and Marci

mommy,
marc told me that you went to washington for the funeral, who is dee lake? or i guess who was he. how was the park? did you hang out with kerry and wendy? who's car was it? i woulda shot the thing if it started to eat my car.
Things in cinci are going pretty good, yes i did receive a visit from sister curry yesterday. elder doxey is the short one and elder robinson is the taller. we had one investigator come to sacrament and the other one came just after that had ended. so it was good to have them come. I did get the package thank you, i loved the tape and about peed my pants when i heard gary rogers talking on it. i really enjoyed it. hope all is going well.
give the baby a kiss from me

dearest marci
i am doing pretty good today, how are you doing? we use a library that i think is in fairfield...yea pretty sure. i really like fairfield, there is a lot of really good things going on right now and we have some good investigators so its going pretty good. Our main investigators currently is Zach, he is 11, Chris, he's like 14ish..and eric who is 23. we had a pretty good week this past week so everything is going pretty well. dad being the scout master must have rubbed off on you, way to Be Prepared. The brownies were really good, it tasted like there was chocolate chips in them so that made them especially tasty. sorry this is so short, i hope everything with work and dating is going greaaatttttt ;)

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.

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?
