a few things

hey evryone. things have been going fairly well here. we've been getting rain as well. yesterday we sat down in someones garage and a minute later it was downpouring. we were glad about that. well sounds like you had a fun trip i bet it was great toget away from everything for a while.

so heres a story foryou.last monday were near the end of the month and miles are getting tight.we had a media referal and so we biked five miles to it. we get there and found out that we had the wrong street. and it was 2 miles from were we parked the car. so we weren'tto happy. the way down was fine,but the back had a very large hill. so we finally get back and then we had a great lesson with her. she just had a son shot, wasn't killed but, is prepared. it was really awesome. for the week, we had a lesson with bobby and sam, they know finally have a marraige date. so there getting closer than they have been for a while. he feed us chili. now to tell you about. he warned us, as long as you keep scooping it down,your fine, but once you stop, that when the heat gets you. he makes spicy chili. it wasn't actaully to bad, i was expecting it to be bad but it wasn't.


then firday we went on 24's with the zoneleaders. i went out with elder burmiester and we had a great time. then saturday we had a special meeting with the assainsts to the president.it was a really good meeting, and we learned about the vision of the mission more, and things they want to get acrossed to everyone. making sure we are all on the same page. it was a very powerful meeting. we left there pumped. then we meet with a less active lady yesterday and found out that she wants to come back, she just can't drive but all she needs is a ride. so it was really awesome, she bore a powerful testimony to us and now we are going to work on having her get out to church. so that was pretty much our week. haven't had tomuch happen yet. edmund is still trying to find a job, and once he moves out,he'llbe baptized. he'slooking so forward to it, but he just hasn't been able to get a job yet. hows your friend doing mom, have you hsared your testimony with her yet? you need to,she doesn't realize the happiness she could have in her life. thank you for the prayers, and for the support you allhave continued to give me. i love you all. take care.

well to answer the question about the letter, i got it monday, so thanks. thats so exciting the matt got his mission call. tell him congradulations. tell him he's going to love it. i belive that the mission one of pres. millburns daughters served. she got home about a year ago. but wow, i can't believe that almost all of the priest quorum is going on missions now. time is just going to fast. well last year memorial day was just another day, so it will probably be the same. sorry if spacing is bad,the spacebar isn't working well today. so just apologizing ahead of time. wellthis week has been intersting,we have seen alot ofmiracles and just alot of good things are happening. it started out rough, we had one of our top investigators drop us, jay b. but still left on good measures, he'll be back. monday we met a really awesome lady who just had a baby, and now she is wondering where to take her to church. so we gave her a book ofmormon and she had a lot of questions about infant baptism.sowe shared with her that and going to see here again sometime. then we found someone later that day who is going through a rough time and she had seen commercials for a free video from the church, keep feeling like she should order it but she never did. so we left her with it and she accpeted a return appointment. it was amazing. then yesterday we had a coolexperience as well. we recieved a media referal and we went out to contact her and she had lost a son recently. and she is very depressed about it, but she was really drunk at the time so we told her to call us when she's sober. then we went and talkedto her neighbors. the next door neighbor has been struggling with whether God really does love her and if he truly answers prayer. we bore a powerful testimony and left her with a book of mormon.the funny thing is is that where she lived we planned nowhere around, never gone that way, but becasue of her neighbor we found her.it was really awesome. last week we were struggling and now after the trial of our faith were having miracles. it's great. welli don't know to much more of what to say. well take care, have fun at blanding.
